Here Is The Exact Moment The Suns Gave Up
The Phoenix Suns were actually up by two on the Celtics in the third quarter in Boston yesterday, but they didn’t show much interest in keeping that lead. With the Suns on defense, some miscommunication led to Marcus Smart having an entire half of the court to himself. Smart couldn’t knock down the ...
TCU's John Diarse Lays Out For Spectacular One-Handed Touchdown Grab
Third-ranked Oklahoma jumped out to a 17-0 lead over TCU after just four total possessions this afternoon, and very much looked poised to run away from the Horned Frogs. A nine-play TCU touchdown drive made it 17-7, and, after a missed Oklahoma field goal, the Horned Frogs got right back to work, us...
Georgia Tech Lost On A Last Second Own-Basket
Oh man. Georgia Tech spent the final ten minutes of their game Friday night against underdog Grambling State scrambling back from a 16-point deficit, finally grabbing a one-point lead on a Jose Alvarado three-pointer with 1:02 left on the game clock. The teams traded free throws over the next 30 sec...

Giannis Bullied The Blazers
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is Shaq now, did not have his greatest game against the Blazers last night, scoring 20 points on 7-of-20 shooting in the Bucks’ 103-91 win. He also did some very rude things to some people. ...
Wayne Rooney Scored From Half Field And Maybe Saved Everton
Everton came into today’s game in 17th place in the league and only two points ahead of their opponents, West Ham. A loss would have sunk them into the relegation zone and extended their run of trash performances. They won 4-0, thanks to a goal from Ashley Williams (who is still butt) and a hat tric...
The Chicago Bulls Play "The Beautiful Game"
Casual basketball fans tend to wax rhapsodic about the fluid ball movement and deep unselfishness of San Antonio or Golden State. But true lovers of the sport look only to Chicago. Study every detail of this possession from last night’s Suns-Bulls game; this is what peak performance looks like....

Michael Crabtree And Aqib Talib Sparked A Raiders-Broncos Fight
Last season, Aqib Talib and Michael Crabtree had a bit of a kerfuffle when the Denver corner ripped the chain off the Oakland receiver on the field. Today, just four minutes into the Broncos-Raiders rematch, Crabtree went for payback, blocking Talib so roughly that he forced Talib off the field and...
Mohamed Sanu Throws 50-Yard TD Strike To Julio Jones
Third-and-one in the first half isn’t usually the time to reach deep into the bag of tricks, but the Atlanta Falcons clearly trust wideout Mohamed Sanu to get them all the yards they need, and then some. With the ball at midfield, they had Sanu take a shotgun snap and fire a pass deep down the field...
We Have A Contender For Worst Play Of The Season
Son, we recruited you to Western Kentucky to do one thing: punt the football. And you’ve done a hell of a job of punting that football this season. But what you did right here tonight, well, you did everything that wasn’t punting a football....
Antoine Griezmann Smacked In A Very Pretty Bicycle Kick Golazo
Atlético Madrid face an uphill battle to qualify for the next round of the Champions League, and though they have a slim chance to advance, they put their best foot forward today, beating Roma 2-0.

High Schooler Kicks Mesmerizing 70-Yard Punt On Clearly Flawed Field
I know it’s a lot to ask you to take a minute out of your day to watch a football roll very, very slowly for about 40 yards, but this punt is truly hypnotic. It appears to come from a high school game in Chicago, with Raby kicking away to Morris Community....

Mike Wallace Snags A TD With Damarious Randall Glued All Over Him<em></em>
This throw from Joe Flacco looks extremely ill-advised on first glance, with Green Bay’s Damarious Randall giving no space and covering Mike Wallace perfectly as he runs towards the end zone. But somehow, Flacco found a seemingly nonexistent window to fit the ball through, and Randall could do nothi...
Danielle Hunter Sacks A QB And An RT At The Same Time
The Rams’ Rob Havenstein was in perfectly fine position to block Danielle Hunter as he went to take down Jared Goff. But Havenstein’s strength was nowhere near enough. Hunter plowed right through the powerless L.A. right tackle, getting the third-down sack on Jared Goff without having to avoid block...
Giants Find Yet Another Way To Fail
Perhaps tired of seeing Eli Manning’s leadership of the New York offense come up dreadfully short, Giants coach Ben McAdoo called a toss for running back Shane Vereen and hoped he could give the team a lead with a tricky pass play. It went as well as any other McAdoo decision this year, with Vereen ...
