An Absurdly Late Equalizer Saved The United States At The U-20 World Cup

Kevin Love Threw A Perfect Touchdown Pass
Hi, did you watch Game 3? We all definitely did. I’m sure you did too. So there’s no need for you to watch these replays of Kevin Love’s full-court outlet pass to LeBron James, which you are totally not seeing for the first time. (And don’t sleep on James’s box-out of Marcus Smart; Smart had no opti...

J.R. Smith Finishes Off Cavs' Historic <em></em>First-Half Blowout With Incredible Buzzer-Beater
Isaiah Thomas insisted yesterday that the Cavs are “not the Monstars.” A 72-31 first half decapitation sure would seem to disagree with his assessment. LeBron James was transparently fucking around, playing center for long stretches and ripping through the Celtics like cheap toilet paper for 22 poin...
Ducks OT Goal Evens West Final<em></em>
Anaheim thwarted Nashville’s OT-forcing comeback and ended the Predators’ home playoff win streak when Corey Perry’s drive went off PK Subban’s stick and ended up past Pekka Rinne 10:25 into the additional period, giving the Ducks a 3-2 win and leveling the Western Conference final at two games each...
I'm Still Laughing At That LeBron James Performance
It didn’t take long for LeBron James to demonstrate just how little of a chance the Boston Celtics have at advancing to the NBA Finals. After getting his first two buckets of the night by blowing right by Jae Crowder—exactly the kind of brawny forward people have spent years tricking themselves into...
Seems Like LeBron Is Ready For The Finals
LeBron James spent the first half of Game 1 destroying the Celtics. He was the best player on the court to such a comical degree, and watching him and the Cavs roll through the weak-ass Celtics was like watching an older sibling pull the “Stop hitting yourself!” routine. LeBron went for 23 points, f...
Josh Harrison Avoided The Hell Out Of This Tag
Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison tested the arm of Nationals center fielder Michael Taylor tonight, and he got beat to second base. However, Harrison, a known trickster on the base paths, beat the tag somehow....

Swiss Defender Scores Spectacular Bicycle Kick Into His Own Goal
For Adrien Gulfo, a defender for Swiss lower division club Pully Football (amazing name by the way), this feat of athleticism has to be the absolute pinnacle of his career. Well, it would have been, had the ball not been aimed toward his own team’s goal....
I Got It... I Got It... I Don't Got It
Brandon Crawford earned a “double” after Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett waved off his teammates to field a pop-up that he then... failed to field. ¡No la tengo!...
Goalie Momentarily Forgets Where He Is, Concedes Very Dumb Goal
Soccer is hard. There are so many other people on the field: teammates, referees, opponents, occasionally the odd dog. One can be forgiven for the occasional lapse. However, this howler from Ottawa Fury FC goalkeeper Callum Irving is a transcendent fuckup....
Another Kevin Kiermaier Misplay Leads To Another Little League Home Run
Last year, Kevin Kiermaier hit .246 with 12 homers—nothing stellar—but he won a Gold Glove for his second consecutive season and anchored the Tampa Bay Rays’ outfield defense. He has quite a hole to dig himself out of if he wants to repeat for 2017....
Rays’ Corey Dickerson Reaches Over Wall To Rob Homer
It looked like Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer hit a home run today against the Tampa Bay Rays. His long fly ball to left was slicing toward the foul pole and would’ve gone over the fence for a run, if not for outfielder Corey Dickerson reaching over the short fence to rob Hosmer....
Let The Braves Show You How Not To Execute A Rundown
The Astros put the finishing touches on a two-game series sweep of the Atlanta Braves this afternoon, coming back and winning 4-2. The Braves have not been good this year, but they are very consciously rebuilding, and a team full of younger guys will make some mistakes. Like this one, where Marwin G...
Max Scherzer Kicked Ass And Was Not Open To Suggestions
Max Scherzer was dominant last night, holding the Baltimore Orioles to just two runs in eight innings while striking out 11. He carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and he also made it clear that he didn’t want to put up with any bullshit from his coaches....
Manu Ginobili Dunks On Father Time
The Spurs and Rockets are locked in the best game of the playoffs right now, and Manu Ginobili provided its best moment. The 39-year-old Argentinian sliced through the lane late in the second quarter and banged one in with his off-hand. The bench’s reaction says it all....
Sometimes You Don't Even Have To Hit It Over The Net
The net, you’d think, is an unavoidable fact of tennis. As a ball approaches you, there are many interesting decisions you are free to make—where to play it, what kind of spin to apply, how hard to strike—but one decision is already made for you: you have to hit it over the damn net....
