The Look Of Horror On This Punter's Face Is Priceless
Michigan punter Will Hagerup's muffed attempt to receive a snap in the second half of the Wolverines' battle against rival Ohio State left him mortified—and it's even better when slowed down 20x and set to indie music, this time "Scared of Love" by Small Factory. [ABC]...
LSU-AlabamaArkansas: And Just Like That, It's Tied At 14 Thanks To The Honey Badger
Tyrann Mathieu made his name—and his Honey Badger moniker—on defense, but it was this 92-yard punt return touchdown in the second quarter of LSU's matchup with the Arkansas Razorbacks that has been the play of the game thus far. [CBS]...
Arkansas Takes 14-0 Lead On Top-Ranked LSU Courtesy Alonzo Highsmith Jr.'s Fumble Return Touchdown
In a game proving to already be more interesting than the LSU-Alabama "game of the year" three weeks ago, the third-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks have a 14-0 lead on LSU in the second quarter courtesy this wild play, only the seventh turnover all season for the LSU Tigers. Nothing makes a man feel ol...
This Is What Edinson Cavani's First Goal Against Man City Looked Like From The Napoli Stands
Napoli beat Manchester City 2-1 today in UEFA Champions League play. Edinson Cavani scored both goals for the Italian side. He hadn't scored since late October, and his breaking of the drought put Man City in a tough spot for advancing to the knockout stage....
Let's Watch The Patriots' Julian Edelman Somewhat Improbably Return This Punt For A Touchdown
Julian Edelman's been everywhere on the field for the Patriots tonight—making tackles on coverage teams and now returning a punt 72 yards to paydirt. It made for 24 (and counting) unanswered points against the Chiefs, and you probably forgot that he's done this before....
Rajon Rondo Goes Off The Forehead To Rudy Gay
A month ago, he was rocking the no-look over-the-shoulder lob. Now, with this off-the-forehead alley-oop over the weekend, Rondo has cemented himself as the highlightiest player of the lockout....
The Eagles' Nine-Minute Game-Winning Drive in 90 Seconds
To the surprise of just about everyone last night, Vince Young—whose play up until this point in the game could generously be described as erratic—led an 18-play, 80-yard death march of a touchdown drive that would eventually decide the game. Here's the drive, condensed into a much more palatable ...
Landon Donovan, David Beckham and Robbie Keane Team Up For Goal That Won The MLS Cup
The LA Galaxy defeated the Houston Dynamo 1-0 tonight to win the MLS Cup....
DeSean Jackson Appears to Return Another Punt Against The Giants, Refs Disagree, Eagles Score Anyway
It was a close call to be sure, so it was strange that the play was not reviewed. Not to worry, though. Noted winner Vince Young hooked up with noted former Giant Steve Smith and the Eagles got their touchdown. The two teams bored us to tears for 28 minutes, but brought the heat at the end of the...
Rex Grossman's Perfectly Thrown Ball Sends Redskins-Cowboys to Overtime
Grossman hooked up with Donte Stallworth at the back pylon for a nifty little touchdown grab. The extra point tied the game at 24. The Cowboys got the ball back with 14 seconds left on their own 20 following a touch back on the kickoff. They took a knee, and their chances, going into overtime....
The Miami Dolphins Offense Drops 28 On The Bills In The First Half
This is not a season highlights package. This is a first-half-against-the-bills highlights package. This is noteworthy because the Dolphins have scored over 28 points only once this year. They put up 31 against the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago. It looks like that poor kid may have been wrong....
LeGarrette Blount Steamrolls The Green Bay Packers Defense
There's really not much to add to this. He even gave us the obligatory faux Lambeau Leap....
Baylor's Kendall Wright Scores Ridiculous 87 Yard Touchdown On A Tipped Ball
"Sometimes you'd rather be lucky than good." ...
Predators Player Breaks Away On Empty Net, Sends Puck Flying Over The Crossbar
Craig Smith channeled Patrik Stefan in the third period of the Predators' 4-1 win in Nashville last night. Sometimes, I guess, the net just looks that big....
The MLS Goal Of The Year Is Incredible For Any League
Remember the name Darlington Nagbe: it's a wonderful name. But also because the Liberian-born, Ohio-raised midfielder was the second overall pick in this year's MLS draft, and scored his first career goal for Portland on this amazing juggle and volley in July. Today it was named the MLS Goal of th...
Here's Stanford's Gabriel Harris Calmly Sinking A 65-Foot Buzzer-Beater
Stanford guard Gabriel Harris averaged fewer than two points a game last season, but here he is topping that average with one shot—a 2/3 court buzzer-beater to bring the Cardinal within two at the half of their home bout against Colorado State. It was a much-needed boost for Stanford, who were dow...
Yesterday: The Greatest Catch That Never Officially Happened Of The NFL Season
There hasn't been much to be happy about recently in Kansas City, save Todd Haley's beard. Yesterday the Chiefs lost to Tim Tebow, who completed but two passes all day, and his third-string running back, Lance Ball....
The Dejected Faces Of Mark Sanchez
The great battle for AFC East supremacy last night turned into somewhat of a Patriots blowout and a game that was not all that much fun to watch. The one thing that did bring great joy was the body language of Mark Sanchez, whose moods ranged from misery to dejection to bike-pedaling, sisyphean ex...
Teams Should Probably Stop Punting To Devin Hester
The Detroit Lions brought in a new punter this week and apparently no one gave him the memo that Devin Hester is really good at returning punts. Robert Malone made the mistake of kicking it in Hester's vicinity and, well, you can see what happens from there....
Dez Bryant Sends Jim Nantz Into Hysterics With Great Touchdown Grab
Dez Bryant ripped this pass right out of the hands of Leodis McKelvin and scored the Cowboys first touchdown of the day. It is unclear whether a CBS intern was required to get a new pair of underwear for Jim Nantz. We are following up....
