Robbie Findley Missed An Open Net From Two Yards Out
He didn't even come particularly close, either. The US national and Nottingham Forest striker will be rueing this one, from the first half of today's FA Cup replay at Leicester City....
Chandler Parsons Just Dunked On JaVale McGee
Sure, it's a tip-slam, but if you're 7'0" JaVale McGee then the likes of Chandler Parsons should not be dunking on you—under any circumstances. Parsons then rides around with his crotch in McGee's face for a few seconds just added to the degradation, but these sorts of things are how a team like ...
Washington State Head Coach Ken Bone Eats It On The Court
Halfway through the second half of the hotly contested battle for the state of Washington, Wazoo head coach Ken Bone is just a tad too exuberant with his request for a timeout. I hope, for his sake, he was able to pick up the spare. [FSN] ...
Hakeem Nicks Hauled In A Halftime Hail Mary
The Green Bay Packers' circumstances for the second half of their playoff game against New York changed enormously when Hakeem Nicks brought down this heave by Eli Manning, turning a three-point Packers deficit into a 20-10 doubling-up. [Fox]...
Darius Morris Hit A 50-Foot Contested Buzzer-Beater
Darius Morris hasn't seen much action for the Lakers this season—the rookie guard has tallied all of 55 minutes thus far—but you might be seeing more of him after this buzzer-beater in last night's 102-94 loss to the Clippers. That or it was just a fluke. (It was just a fluke.) [NBA TV]...
Jamaal Magloire Airballed A Free Throw In Spectacular Fashion
12 seconds left, game on the line. In whose hands do you want the ball? Definitely not Jamaal Magloire, who sealed a Pacers win by airballing his first free throw and bricking (but at least catching rim) on the second. [TSN]...
Somebody Stole Magic Johnson's Cue Cards
We already knew that Magic Johnson, a member of ESPN's NBA studio team, is terrible at delivering serious-faced post-game monologues straight from the cue cards. Here is further evidence that this man should not be on the mic, ever—and especially not without those cue cards. He sounds like a barit...
Total Prick Drops A Woman Outside A Hollywood Club And Nobody Drops Him
I know not where in Hollywood, Cal. this huge brawl featuring "guys hitting girls, girls hitting guys, girl on girl, guy on guy - it was absolute chaos" went down. But what I do know is this: In light of all the carrying-on about finding the Flyers fans who dropped the Jersey War Hero Wearing A Ra...
This Portuguese Soccer Highlight Is Brought To You By Some Guy Named Artur
As you already know, Sporting Braga bested Beira-Mar 2-1 on the Portuguese pitch yesterday. It would have been 2-0, however, had Artur not concocted this sweet lil shot before halftime, his third in a 14-game-old season. Hate to think of how the Beira-Mar home crowd would've taken to a shutout....
Thierry Henry Scored For Arsenal In His Homecoming Match To Put Them Up 1-0 On Leeds
Call it a fairytale, call it destiny, don't call it offside (which he was, most definitely) but Thierry Henry scoring for Arsenal—where he scored a club-record 226 goals between 1999 and 2007—is a story from the pages of British pulp fiction. That he scored the deciding goal in the Gunners' FA Cu...
Teamwork Results In One Of The Greatest Cricket Catches You'll Ever See
From New Zealand domestic competition, Central Districts' Bevan Small corrals the ball as he sails over the boundary rope, and flips it back to Michael Mason to save the six. Cricket!...
Professional Bowler Does Thing You Usually Only See From The Very Drunk
Josh Blanchard is a rookie PBA bowler. If he manages to have a long career in pro bowling, he's unlikely to ever live this moment down, from a World Championship qualifier in Las Vegas today....
Blake Griffin Destroyed Ersan İlyasova With A Monster Dunk
Hillary Clinton had to phone Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to apologize for the utter destruction and humiliation of their son Ersan İlyasova after Blake Griffin dunked on him in the second half of the Clippers' bout with Milwaukee Saturday night. [NBA TV]...
Arian Foster's Touchdown Run Is Just Embarrassing For Chris Crocker
This twinkle-toed TD from the Houston Texans' Arian Foster made NFL safety Chris Crocker look more like internet celebrity Chris Crocker. Leave Chris Crocker alone! (The Texans won 31-10.) [NBC]...
One Of The Best Strikes You'll See All Season Just Put Tiny Macclesfield Town Up On Bolton
It's been a bad week for Bolton goalkeeper Ádám Bogdán. First he let Tim Howard score on him and now he's been victimized by this ridiculous strike off the boot of League Two Macclesfield Town's Arnaud Mendy in FA Cup action. It's 2-1 in Macclesfield 2-2 now after Bolton just equalized. Macclesfie...
The First Two Points Of Kenneth Faried's Career Came On This Silly Rudy Fernandez No-Look Alley-Oop
I hope Faried knows they're not all going to be this easy, or this pretty....
Demba Ba Drew First Blood For Newcastle Against Man U With This Fantastic Volley
In a week that's belonged to the giant-killers, Newcastle's aiming to be the next David and has a 1-0 edge on Manchester United thanks to this perfectly-placed volley by Demba Ba. [Fox Soccer]...
No, Brad Nessler, West Virginia Is Not A City In Virginia
This just in from the Allstate Sugar Bowl featuring Michigan vs. Virginia Tech: In tomorrow night's Orange Bowl, the Clemson Tigers will "take on another team from the state of Virginia: West Virginia." (H/T Jeff Q. and Cyrus the Virus)...
Emre Colak Scored A Pretty Nice Goal In Galatasaray's Match Today
"Fortunately, [Galatasary's] Emre Colak was determined to hit his mark on the match. Taken by almost single-handedly kept alive the second set of goals. And then the ball handling skills as well as an extraordinary man in an effort to prevent or remove the opponent was a worry. In short, this youn...
The Capital One Bowl Brought Us The Rare Defensive PAT
You won't see this play in the No Fun League (defenses cannot score on a PAT in the NFL) but college football still permits the glory that is sprinting the length of the field with a measly two points as reward, an opportunity of which South Carolina's Stephon Gilmore made the most....
