For The Second Week In A Row, Wisconsin Lost On A Ridiculous Last-Second Pass
People across the country might be celebrating Halloween tonight, but for the Wisconsin Badgers it feels more like Groundhog Day. While it wasn't technically a Hail Mary (it was first down and there were 30 seconds left) the details don't much matter as Ohio State—after giving up the lead late the...
Apparently Georgia Tech Has A Passing Game. Who Knew?
Georgia Tech is leading unbeaten and fifth-ranked Clemson 24-3 at the half, in part due to this Megatronic 44-yard catch by Stephen Hill off a Tevin Washington pass. Washington's been worse than trash most of the season as a passer & Clemson can't possibly play as inept an offensive game in the se...

Did Robin Van Persie Just Salute The Nazis?
So this is weird. I'm not saying Robin Van Persie is a bad guy, but it certainly looks like he agrees with the ravings of a certain Austrian sociopath. At least Ian Darke was there to class up the joint....
In Division II Football, They Play With The Difficulty Level Set To "Freshman"
Here's Minnesota State WR Dennis Carter scoring on a reverse during which he nearly goes out of bounds on both sidelines. Clearly he's been messing with the gameplay sliders, that cheater. This play would never work in real life. [CBSSN]...
Patrick Kane Pulled Off A Perfect Spin-O-Rama Assist Last Night
The Hawks beat the Ducks 3-2 in a shutout in Chicago last night, and Patrick Kane, our favorite Buffalo boozehound, provided the prettiest play of the game. This assist to Marian Hossa tied it up in the second period. Kane later told reporters that he'd discussed the move with Hawks great Denis Sa...
Don King Pops Down To Occupy Wall Street To Show Support, Famous Hair Erection
Courtesy of AnimalNY comes the latest celebrity sighting at Zucotti Park. King told Animal reporter Bucky Turco he's visiting the dirty 99% because their movement represents "Americana" and mumbled some stuff about the First Amendment. Only in a plutocracy! [AnimalNY]...
High School Running Back Believes He Can Fly
Kimlon "K.J." Dillon is a senior running back and safety at Apopka High in Florida. He's also a star hurdler on the school's track team, so he never really has to run those final five yards for a touchdown if he doesn't feel like it....
The Saints Scored A Lot Of Points Last Night
With Peyton Manning on the sidelines or in the booth in a polo shirt instead of on the field throwing for seven touchdown passes, the Colts have been awful this season....

Watch Lionel Messi Fail To Convert A Game-Winning Penalty Kick
"The reason [Frederic] Kanoute got so worked up was that after Sevilla worked so hard to hold Barca scoreless for 90 minutes, they were awarded a very soft penalty when Andres Iniesta went down in the box. Kanoute earned his first booking when he knocked the ball off the penalty spot as Lionel Mes...
You'd Probably Curse Too If You Got Stuck Reffing The Seahawks/Browns Game

Watch Manchester City Give Man U Its Worst Home Loss In 56 Years
"Manchester City inflicted Manchester United's worst home defeat since February 1955 as they thrashed the champions in ruthless fashion to go five points clear at the top of the Premier League. City were also the victors on that occasion 56 years ago, winning 5-0, but this visit was portrayed as a...
Michigan State Beat Wisconsin Last Night On A Game-Ending Hail Mary TD Pass (Video)
Keith Nichol caught a throw from Kirk Cousins on the game's final play, but it was ruled a touchdown only after a replay review determined that Nichol did, in fact, cross the goal line with the ball. Cousins-Nichol thus gets added to Doug Flutie-Gerard Phelan and Kordell Stewart-Michael Westbrook ...
Watch Cristiano Ronaldo Get A First-Half Hat Trick, Cop A Cheap Feel Of Air
Start this one at the 0:23 mark. You'll see the cheeky celebration, then the goal. Actually, it's a filthy good goal, too. Here's the first part of the hat trick, and here's the second....
Watch This Really Nice Glove Save From The Avalanche/Blackhawks Game
From last Thursday night's Blackhawks/Avalanche game, Chicago's Marcus Kruger probably thought he'd given his team a 3-1 lead with his first NHL goal. Colorado goalie Semyon Varlamov wasn't having it. Marian Hossa would score about three minutes later, though, so it was kind of all for naught....
There Is Also Full Video Of The Arizona Streaker Disrobing And Getting Driven Into The Ground By Security
Like some sort of Zapruder film for jackasses, this follows dude from the moment he enters the field until he is escorted off. You don't get to see the fight that ensued between the players as it unfolds, though. For that, be sure to go here. [h/t to Adam and Randall]...
Here's Video Of A "Streaker" Leading To A Bench-Clearing Brawl In Tonight's UCLA/Arizona Game
"The horrid football displayed by UCLA was only topped by a bizarre end to the second quarter that featured a streaking fan (sort of) and a bench-clearing brawl. Details of the streaker - really for a lack of a better word - are fuzzy, but it appears a fan ran on to the field dressed as a referee,...
There Was A Perfectly Placed Own Goal In Celtic's Europa League Match Today
"Around the half-hour a long punt by the home goalkeeper, Benoît Costil, was making its way harmlessly through to Fraser Forster in Celtic's goal but Cha Du-ri helped it on then watched in horror as the ball slipped past his goalkeeper and into the net. The South Korean was playing in midfield and...
Let This Serve As Proof That All Basketbrawls In China Don't Involve Georgetown
"Towards the end of a closely fought exhibition game, the CBA's Foshan Dralions got into a bench-clearing brawl last night with Australia's Melbourne Tigers, after a player from the Aussie team (in maroon) gave a tentative love-tap to a Foshan player (in white)." [Shanghaiist] (The action starts a...
