Pablo Cuevas Goes Between The Legs For Winner Past Rafael Nadal

Joc Pederson Won't Say Who Has To Pay Him
If the Dodgers go on to win the World Series tonight, one of the more enduring images of the series will be Joc Pederson turning to his own dugout, rubbing his fingers together, and shouting, “Pay me my money!” after his seventh-inning homer in Game 6....

Giannis Is Shaq Now
Here’s a fun Giannis Antetokounmpo fact, from ESPN’s weekly NBA player rankings blog:...
Kristaps Porzingis Is All Right
This feels like a weird thing to say given how much attention has been paid to Kristaps Porzingis since he entered the league two seasons ago, but we are just now starting to see what the big boy can do—not because he’s suddenly unearthed some skills we were previously unaware of, but because he’s f...
The Cavaliers Stink!
Append all the ordinary caveats, of course: It’s October; they’re without Isaiah Thomas; they’re integrating what seems like a small army of new players; the East is so godawful shitty there’s basically no floor to playoff contention; and so on. Fine. But still. The Cleveland Cavaliers are not just ...
Team Concedes Penalty With Head-First Tackle
Berwick Rangers, a team that is actually based in England, plays in the fourth level of the Scottish Professional Football League. Yesterday they beat Cowdenbeath FC, 1-0, on a successful Michael McKenna penalty on the 80th minute. Normally not news that would make the sports blogs, if not for how B...
JuJu Smith-Schuster Is Having A Ball
It’s been a weird rookie season for Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who last week was unwillingly pulled into a one-sided beef with teammate Martavis Bryant before having his bike stolen. But during last night’s game against the Lions, he had about as much fun as a football player can possibl...
Astros Win 13-12 In Game That Allegedly Went Only Ten Innings
It took five hours, 17 minutes, but the big, stupid, ridiculous Game 5 that started with George Bush throwing out a first pitch and ended with pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training is over. The Astros won in “ten innings,” though in a game that took twice as long as their “nine inning” ...
Russell Wilson Tops Deshaun Watson In A Dazzling Offensive Shootout
In an extravagant game filled with 988 yards of total offense, Seattle’s Russell Wilson found a way to pull his team over the top, completing an 18-yard TD pass to Jimmy Graham with 21 seconds left to give the Seahawks a 41-38 win over the Texans. ...
You Won't Regret Watching This Preposterous Minute Of Non-League English Soccer
Okay, I don’t want to spoil anything for you, so let me just set the scene. This is action in the North West Counties Football League of England, with Padiham down 3-1 against Widnes in the 92nd minute. Widnes, the leaders, are in yellow, while Padiham is in blue. Now watch:...
Travis Benjamin's Terrible Decisions Led To One Of The Worst Punt Returns Ever<em></em><em></em>
Los Angeles’s Travis Benjamin could have had only a minor miscue on his record if he had stayed where he was on the field after he picked up his own muffed punt, but nah, he had to try and create something better. In doing so, he inexplicably ran backwards almost 10 yards into his own end zone, gett...
Donovan Mitchell Is A Good Reason To Watch Utah Jazz Games
The Jazz hosted (and smoked) the Lakers last night, and you will be forgiven if this matchup didn’t strike you right away as a meeting of two of the most exciting rookie guards in the NBA. After all, the Jazz are good, and the Lakers are very much not good, and Donovan Mitchell, Utah’s prized rookie...
Tyler Toffoli's Blistering Buzzer Beater Bested The Bruins
The L.A. Kings had 0.9 seconds last night to try to score off an overtime faceoff before their 1-1 game with Boston would head to a shootout....
Like Butch Jones's Career, Tennessee Hail Mary Pass Falls Just Short
Jarrett Guarantano connected with Jeff George on a 48-yard hail mary on the final play of Tennessee’s game at Kentucky Saturday night. The problem? The Volunteers started the play 51 yards away from the end zone....
Saquon Barkley Returns Opening Kickoff 97 Yards To Put Penn State Up Early On Ohio State<em></em>
Urban Meyer’s day started badly as he watched his Buckeyes kick off to Heisman favorite Saquon Barkley, then watched the Penn State superstar take that kickoff 97 yards to put the Nittany Lions up 7-0 just a few seconds into the game. It’s the earliest Gusgasm we’ve ever seen....
Jack Sock Goes Between The Legs Yet Again
Would you believe it? Rushing the net in a tense moment during a first-set tiebreak against David Goffin today, Jack Sock went between the legs—with great results....
Frederik Andersen Makes A Very Unlikely Glove Save
Look at alllll that net facing Noah Hanifin, and the unpreferable positioning of Frederik Andersen, on his pads, off-balance, and stuck near-side after making a save a split second before. Easy goal, right? Not if you know a little trick I like to call “reading the headline.”...
Jake Allen Is Rudely Reminded That Ice Is Slippery
Blues goalie Jake Allen was doing just fine through the first half of last night’s game against Calgary, holding down the fort while his team took a 3-1 lead. But just when you think you’re safe, that’s when some devious frozen water will turn you into a fool. While trying to play the puck behind hi...
