Artem Anisimov's Third-Period Hat Trick Was Just What The Blackhawks Needed
Artem Anisimov is in his ninth season in the NHL and he has, apparently, not been thinking about this moment. After scoring his first career hat trick, all in the third period and all crucial for a 6-3 Blackhawks win over the Rangers, the 29-year-old center was asked what he was going to do with the...
Pau Gasol Gets A Front-Row Seat To Dennis Smith Jr.'s Giant Dunk
Everyone from LeBron James on down knows that Mavs rookie Dennis Smith Jr. is an awe-inducing athletic talent with a penchant for all-out slams, so you can’t blame Pau Gasol for wanting a glimpse of Smith’s abilities for his own.

The USMNT's Newest Teen Sensation Provides Hope, Teammate Snatches It Away
Today is the USMNT’s first game back on the pitch since The Loss.

Which they did! Until they didn’t....
Boris Diaw Buzzer-Beat A Buzzer-Beater
Perhaps Boris Diaw left the country too soon, but it was hard not to be happy for the roly-poly polymath, ambling into the sunset with his ring, bound for better wine and pastries....
Jaguars Run A Fake Punt For A 56-Yard TD
Up 37 early in the season against Baltimore in London, Jacksonville decided not to limit themselves. They ran a fake punt to running back Corey Grant for a huge gain of 58, setting up another score against a then-helpless Ravens defense....
Maurice Harris Might Have Just Made The Catch Of The Year
This outstretched one-handed falling grab right on the sideline by Washington’s Maurice Harris initially looked like an impressive failure, with the play ruled out of bounds. But on further review, the catch was good, and Harris had come down with one of the best plays of the year....
Mike Hoffman Skips The Puck Past Jonathan Bernier For A Truly Freakish Goal
I think I’ll be giving Ottawa’s Mike Hoffman way too much credit if I imply in any way that he knew what he was doing here. But even if his goal yesterday against the Colorado Avalanche in Stockholm, Sweden was a complete accident, it’s still something I’ve never seen before....

The only acceptable response to this: “Damn.”...
High School Football Team Wins Game By Scoring 19 Points In Final Minute
Minnesota’s Class 6A state quarterfinals featured one of the wildest endings to a football game you will ever see. Down 27-10 with 4:30 left to play against St. Michael-Albertville, Maple Grove capped off a 70-yard drive with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Curtis Haugen to Joe Raymon. That made it 27...
The Year's Best Slapstick Comedy Is This Video Of Three Bumbling Soccer Ladies
Kudos to the lowlight reel maker here for backing this hilariously embarrassing moment from Wednesday’s Barcelona-Gintra Women’s Champions League match—which features one sort of big screwup followed by a ginormous one—with an appropriately vaudevillian score. We present: The Three Stoogettes....

Cody Zeller, You Have To Retire Now, Those Are The Rules
Watching Kristaps Porzingis do anything is a delight. We could talk about his outrageous shooting, where he’s added volume but only increased in efficiency. We could talk about how players only shoot 35 percent at the rim when he’s lurking there. Or we could just watch this:...
Giannis Antetokounmpo Denied By Older, Smaller Opponent<em></em>
Giannis Antetokounmpo turned in another monstrous night against the Cavs, scoring 40 points on 16-21 shooting. But this was not one of his finer moments. The Greek Freak looked guaranteed to score when he got the ball right under the basket, with only Dwyane Wade anywhere near him....
