How To Get Soccer Players To Punch You
It's a clever maneuver, if you can pull it off, but it's so infuriating to defenders that they just can't help but knock him on his arse. One coach has all but openly endorsed kicking him in the face. We're trying to think of an American sports equivalent. The best we could come up with was a footba...

Rob Stone Knows How To Liven Up A Broadcast
All told, we find this rather clever — and, to be honest, we've been enjoying the Women's World Cup considerably more than we would enjoy a Troy-Oklahoma State game — and we pretty much enjoy everything Stone does.

How In The Heck Will He Wash His Neck If He Doesn't Have One?
Many of us are blessed, in that we were born with all of our body parts, some of which we didn't know existed until after a rigorous workout.

Taking a gander at some of Saturday's Premier League results... • Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City — Well, so much for starting off the year with four straight wins.
