Handball Player Scores Crazy Goal With Ingenious Ball Spin
This is one of those moves Falcao Mikkel Hansen has probably practiced on the playground(?) courts for years before finally unleashing in game. I wonder what the goalie's thinking....

James Harden Shakes Austin Rivers Right Out Of The Arena
The next time this happens, Austin Rivers should probably just accept his fate and hit the ground. Stumbling backwards and then throwing up his hands as if it was someone else's fault that James Harden jellied his legs wasn't really a good look. There's no defensive rotation that can save you in th...

Hockey Assists Don't Get Niftier Than This
This is some German hockey action, but flair translates. Keep an eye on the forwards for the team in black, Krefeld Pinguine, as they backcheck. Kevin Clark loses his stick, but fellow Winnipegger Adam Courchaine smoothly flips it back up to him mid-rush. Teamwork!...

Sean Payton Fesses Up: Marques Colston's Lateral Was A Designed Play

Seahawks Beat Saints 23-15 Thanks In Part To Marques Colston's Stupidity

One Of The Worst Penalty Misses You'll See
The great thing about soccer announcers is the brutal honesty. They are a close second to golf announcers, who also never pull any punches, but do so in a whisper that is so incongruous with what they're saying you can't help laughing. Soccer doesn't have to worry about the niceties of golf, thoug...

JaVale McGee Just Created Two Of The Best NBA Highlights Of The Season
Our old buddy Pierre just posted both of the clips below to his Instagram account, and I cannot stop laughing at them for reasons I can't completely explain.

Florida State Wins A Positively Bonkers BCS Championship Game
Florida State looked to be shit out of luck tonight thanks to a taunting penalty after a scoring drive. The Noles quickly bounced back and returned a kickoff to go ahead of Auburn 27-24. The final minutes were an insane back-and-forth, but Florida State hung on to beat Auburn 34-31....
