Man Hit In Head With Golf Ball, Has Golf-Ball-Sized Welt To Prove It
This Swedish man was hit in the head with a golf ball so hard that it looks like the actual ball broke through his skin, embedded itself in his skull, and the wound healed around it. Put another way: the size of that welt is fucking outrageous. ...
Let It Be Demolished: Paul McCartney Shuts Down Candlestick Park
Paul McCartney is like the Grand Canyon, or bangers and mash: There's no sexing him up. At 72, he's the rare individual for whom the phrase "living legend" feels like kind of a slight. Bigger than Jesus? Quite possibly. But how many records did Jesus ever sell, and what has he done for you lately? T...
Yasiel Puig Snapped His Bat On A Check Swing
Yasiel Puig can make even a check swing interesting. Puig was initially going to take a hack at Zach Duke's 2-1 pitch in the seventh inning last night, but thought better of it and stopped his hands right in front of him. The portion of the bat not in his hands, however, just kept going and snappe...
Does <em>Sharknado</em> Crack The Shitty Movie Hall Of Fame?
There's been a lot of press surrounding last night's Syfy debut of Sharknado 2: The Second One. Which makes sense, given that last year's original was a smash success (as far as these types of movies go), and the sequel takes place in New York, where there's not just a high concentration of media ...
Blocked Dutch Penalty Almost Trickles In While Goalkeeper Celebrates
Oh man. Oh man, oh man, oh man. This would have been such a ridiculous thing. Sergio Romero made two saves in Argentina's win over the Netherlands and this is the first one, on the day's first attempt, from Ron Vlaar. In this video first flagged by Slate, we see another angle that shows Romero ma...

James Rodríguez Attacked By Horrifying Animal After Penalty Kick
James Rodríguez nailed home a penalty kick to draw Colombia within a goal of Brazil, and the first thing to celebrate with him wasn't a teammate but this giant green scary-as-shit bug. WHAT IS THAT THING?...

This Dude's Soccer Trick Shots Will Blow Your Mind
Trick shot artist Rémi Gaillard has a new World Cup-themed video out, and oh man is this dude good at soccer trick shots. I would wager that he is better at this than any of us will ever be at anything....
Ultramarathon Interrupted By Out Of Control Car
South Africa's Comrades Marathon is the granddaddy of ultramarathons, having been held first in 1921 and nearly every year since inviting runners to traverse the 56 miles between Durban and Pietermaritzburg. This year runners were also invited to avoid spectators fleeing an out-of-control automobile...

Golf Channel cameras caught a bird taking an enormous shit on the course during the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio earlier today. This is video of that bird shitting, with some spliced in narration provided by famed naturalist Sir David Attenborough....
Giant Sinkhole Opens At Austin Peay's Football Stadium
Austin Peay's Governors Stadium is getting a facelift, but a 40-foot-deep sinkhole in the north endzone has made the process a little more difficult. Workers have been aware of the sinkhole for some time, but in trying to make the area safe and workable, they've had to dig out a considerably larger ...
The 2013-14 Premier League Season Was Well And Truly Fucking Awesome
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. There was pessimism, hope, and ultimately failure. There was schadenfreude; oh, was there schadenfreude. There were also huge games, mesmerizing goals, and more twists in the title race than a M. Night Shyamalan movie (but actually good). To cap o...
House Just Explodes On Live Television
This just happened in Brentwood, New Hampshire, and, um, holy shit. There were reports of shots being fired at this house earlier in the day, and it was burning for 15 minutes before it exploded....
I Took TED's Stupid Grit Quiz!
If you're a sports fan like I am, you know that championships aren't won with talent or sound strategy or even proper personnel evaluation. They are won with HUSTLE and HEART and ECKSTEINIAN fortitude that cannot be measured, because measuring things is for nerds and pussies. ...
Terrible Umpire Laz Diaz Taunts Shawn Kelley Into Getting Ejected
Baseball is full of pointless indignities, but the fact a player can be ejected from a game he's already, by rule, barred from re-entering is one of the most impotent. With that impotence in mind, here's professional MLB umpire Laz Diaz goading Yankees pitcher Shawn Kelley into getting ejected....
