Christian McCaffrey Goes 75 Yards On Rose Bowl's First Play [UPDATE: And He's Added A Punt Return TD]
Christian McCaffrey proved himself to be college football’s most versatile player this season, and the Stanford star continued his reign by catching a Kevin Hogan pass and finding the end zone 75 yards away on the Rose Bowl’s first play. Here’s how it sounded on Russian television:...
Cyrus Jones Takes Punt 57 Yards, Extends Alabama Lead To 24-0
Alabama’s Cyrus Jones increased an already big Crimson Tide lead to 24 with this 57-yard punt return. Above is the ESPN Deportes call; here’s how it sounded on Alabama’s Crimson Tide Sports Network:...
Clemson Fake Punt Sets Up Go-Ahead Touchdown
Clemson punter Andy Teasdall connected with Christian Wilkins for 31 yards and a first down as Dabo Swinney used some trickery to get the Tigers inside Oklahoma’s 15-yard line. Two plays later, Deshaun Watson found the end zone to put Clemson up 10-7 in today’s first college football playoff semifin...
The Year In Bad Soccer Men
There’s something about the game of soccer that turns (presumably) otherwise mild-mannered, law-abiding citizens into raving madmen. Players, fans, refs, even club officials often lose their minds when anywhere near a stadium. Here are our posts from 2015 documenting this curious sociological phenom...
Bulls Beat Pacers On Fantastic Tipped Lob
Maybe this was the play design all along, or maybe Pau Gasol just saw an opening and lofted the ball up. Either way this play should’ve been dead in the water, with Jimmy Butler blanketed by Paul George and unable to grab the ball and dunk it home. Instead, Butler deftly tapped the ball into the hoo...
Canadiens Goalie Ben Scrivens Saved By Magic Puck
The Montreal Canadiens lost 3-1 to the Florida Panthers last night, and the score would have been 4-1 if not for this strange bit of physics:...
Ben Simmons Did So Many Cool Dunks Tonight
The LSU Tigers lost tonight to Wake Forest in basketball while their football team was scoring a bunch on Texas Tech. The hoopin’ Tigers are 7-5, and don’t look like much of a threat to Kentucky for the SEC title, but for our purposes, that doesn’t really matter. What matters is that Ben Simmons, al...
LSU's D.J. Chark Goes 79 Yards, Scores Touchdown On First Career Touch
D.J. Chark’s at the end of his second year in an LSU uniform, but it took until tonight’s Texas Bowl for him to ever touch the football in a real game. We’ll expect he touches it plenty in the future after taking his first touch 79 yards and for a touchdown....
Kobe Tried To Rip Jeremy Lin's Head Off!
You know that uncomfortable moment when you discover that what you’d thought was all fun and games was actually deadly serious for one guy, and all of a sudden shit’s all weird and fraught? Kobe Bryant is that guy. Last night he turned a silly little tug-of-war over a two-for-one opportunity into th...
Omri Casspi And Steph Curry Traded Threes In A Wildly Entertaining Shootout
The Warriors were probably always going to beat the Sacramento Kings at home, and their 122-103 victory Monday night became a foregone conclusion after DeMarcus Cousins was ejected early in the third quarter. But before then, when the Kings were still hanging tough and even leading, there was an ama...
Quadree Henderson Returns Military Bowl Opening Kickoff 100 Yards For Touchdown
Pitt got started early in today’s Military Bowl in Annapolis—as early as possible, in fact, as freshman Quadree Henderson ran the opening kickoff back 100 yards for a touchdown in Navy’s own stadium....
Mesut Özil Caps Genius Arsenal Team Move With A Goal
Every season, Arsenal are good for two or three of these kind of flowing, intricate, one-touch passing moves that end with the ball in the back of the net and a huge grin on your face. This time, it was Olivier Giroud providing the sick flick-on and Mesut Özil, who is absolutely unstoppable right no...
Jarvis Landry Submits Entry For Catch Of The Year
Pretty much nobody is watching this Colts-Dolphins game, which is a shame because Jarvis Landry just injected it with pure, uncut awesomeness. Here’s one of the best plays of this NFL season, as it happened in the fourth quarter today....
Julio Jones Puts Falcons Up On Carolina With One Of This Season's Best Catches
Did you forget about Julio Jones? Of course you haven’t, but the Falcons receiver made sure to remind anyone who had with this incredible 70-yard touchdown catch that put Atlanta up on the undefeated Panthers late in the third quarter....

Kirk Cousins's Enormous Boner Wastes Scoring Opportunity
Kirk Cousins responded to a week of positive coverage, for once, by committing a huge blunder. His boner cost Washington a chance to get points; by inexplicably taking a knee with six seconds remaining, time ran out on the half—denying the Skins a shot at a quick touchdown and even the subsequent fi...
Tom Cleverley's Long Header Beats Newcastle On Final Touch Of The Match
Everton downed Newcastle today 1-0 thanks to a 93rd-minute long-range header by Tom Cleverley that proved to be the final touch of the match....
Liverpool Storm Four Men On Open-Goal Fast Break, Still Don't Score
Liverpool beat Leicester City 1-0 at Anfield today, holding the league’s most surprising team scoreless for the first time all season. But it should have been a 2-0 victory, as a late open goal break somehow fell apart when Christian Benteke couldn’t find a net left vacant by Kasper Schmeichel. Schm...
The Spurs' Ball Movement Is Gorgeous
It is 2015 and the San Antonio Spurs, by the grace of God, look like a more polished version of the 2007 San Antonio Spurs. Sure, their 24-5 record is mostly the product of a defense that is 5.6 points per 100 possessions better than the next-best defense, but their offense is still humming along be...
Bismack Biyombo's Terrible Post Move Was Just Too Much For JaVale McGee
Raptors center Bismack Biyombo, as we’ve previously noted, is not the most gifted offensive player. His, uh, skills were on full display last night against the Mavericks:...
