This Shot May Not Have Counted, But It's Still Cool As Hell
Unfortunately for Celtics forward Jae Crowder, there’s some sort of rule against heaving a full-court inbound pass straight into the bucket. This rule is clearly stupid, and Crowder should have been awarded five points. ...
Bradley Beal Sinks Spurs With Game-Winning Three
The Wizards are a popular dark horse pick to emerge from the Eastern Conference and they showed why tonight, beating the Spurs 102-99 on a Bradley Beal three-pointer with just 0.3 seconds remaining. LaMarcus Aldridge does not look good on this possession, likely because of some sort of blown communi...
Ángel Di María Breaks Isco's Ankles, Snatches His Soul
Poor Isco. He was once a starter for Real Madrid and occasionally the Spanish national team, but now faces a long layoff and uncertain recovery after Ángel Di María broke both of his ankles in today’s Champions League match. Even more damaging, Di María claimed his soul, quite the problem for a crea...
D.J. Augustin Somehow Gets Away With Six-Step Layup

Warriors Top Grizz, 119 To—Wait, I'm Pretty Sure This Is A Video Game Score
There’s been a terrible mistake. The AP, ESPN, even the NBA itself—they’re all recording the final score of last night’s Warriors-Grizzlies game as a 119-69 win for the Warriors, but clearly that is the score of some kid’s video game. I mean, ha ha, 119-69, get the fuck outta here, who would even be...
Kobe Bryant: I Suck
Late-stage Kobe Bryant, while proven to be entertaining in his own particular way, is not a very effective basketball player. He was hilariously bad before tearing his rotator cuff last year, and he’s continued to be very bad through the first five games of this season. This fact is not lost on Kobe...
More Proof Gerard Deulofeu Is A Brilliant Lunatic
Here are some highlights from Everton vs. Sunderland, which ended 6-2 in favor of the Toffees thanks in large part to some astounding play from their absurdly gifted young winger, Gerard Deulofeu:...
Steve Smith Suffers Catastrophic Leg Injury (UPDATE: Torn Achilles)
Steve Smith just secured a place on the top 10 all-time career receiving yardage list today against the Chargers, then went down with this gruesome injury to what appears to be his right Achilles later in the game on a seemingly routine tackle. He left the field with his head covered in a towel. ...
Somehow, Nobody Scored On This Wild Goal-Front Scramble
Dutch Eredivisie side De Graafschap did not score here on this wild scramble in front of the PSV goal, despite seven shots on frame. There is so much that happens here, so quickly, including a great rise-and-fall soundtrack of cheering from the crowd. PSV held on and won this nine-goal thriller 6-3....
Steph Curry Is Even Better This Season
Last night, basketball’s best teeny-tiny point guard Steph Curry went up against the sexy pick to usurp him as league MVP, Anthony Davis, and put in the most impressive performance of this young season. He dropped 53 points on just 27 shots in 36 minutes, which is a gaudy efficiency, but remarkably,...

Miami Hurricanes Pull Off Mind-Blowing, Incredible Kick Return With No Time Remaining
Duke took the lead on Miami with just seconds remaining in Durham, only for the Hurricanes to pull off one of the most incredible plays we’ve ever seen in college football history. A series of reviews and replays ended up with the play being called back—maybe, it’s still under review as of publicati...

Saquon Barkley Hurdles Over And Through Three Defenders For The Touchdown
Penn State is putting a royal whooping on the Illinois Fighting Illini today in Happy Valley, thanks in part to this Saquon Barkley hurdle-smash touchdown. This particular leap defies easy prepositional classification, on account of the number of defenders he got through here, but it was a great loo...
Thunder And Magic Trade Crazy Buzzer-Beaters
The Thunder and the Magic played out a crazy-ass game down in Orlando last night, one that featured about as many would-be daggers and big threes as you’ll see in a regular season game. ...
Harrison Barnes Dunks On Dwight Howard, Everyone Freaks Out
Harrison Barnes has a habit of pummeling centers on big dunks like this one here. He laid down a real hammer over Nikola Pekovic of all people a few years ago, and is generally fearless about challenging big guys in the paint. Our latest victim is Dwight Howard, who got caught in that unenviable no-...
Roger Federer Is Smooth
Looks like Fed’s still got it. (Well, “it” here being the ability to do cool though otherwise meaningless tricks with a racket.) Here’s the video of him turning his tennis racket into a lacrosse stick:...
Dana Holgorsen High-Fived Trevone Boykin Because He "Didn't Know What The Hell Else To Do"
West Virginia got whomped by TCU last night, losing 40-10 while allowing Horned Frogs star quarterback Trevone Boykin to carve them up for 388 yards passing, 84 yards rushing, and four total touchdowns. At one point, Boykin made a play so filthy that West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen couldn’t ...
