Just Give Mike Trout A Gold Glove Already<em></em>

Adrian Beltre Is Still Slapping Dingers From One Knee
Adrian Beltre is one of the most entertaining baseball players any of us will ever have the pleasure of watching. He’s done many great things on the field that I will remember fondly, but falling to one knee as he hits the goddamn hell out of a baseball will certainly go down as his signature move. ...
Edinson Cavani Is A Hero
Maybe we’ve been looking at this all wrong.

Here's Barcelona, Literally Walking The Ball Into The Net
Great goals come in all shapes and sizes. A particularly satisfying kind of wondergoal is the one where the players tip-tap the ball between each other, snaking their way through the entire defense with technique and quickness rather than brute physicality, and only sliding the ball over the goal li...
Soccer Man Gets Extremely Hyped About This Dope Thing He Just Did
It’s not often that defenders are the architects of highlight reel-quality plays, and seeing as an acrobatic goal-line clearance is basically the defensive equivalent of a golazo for an attacker, it makes sense that Bursaspor’s Aziz Behich was super pumped after pulling off this amazing feat:...
Mario Balotelli Is Back, Baby!
The shirt colors look familiar but the team is different, and so are the country and the pressure and the expectations, and maybe even the player, too. Mario Balotelli is back on the soccer field for the first time in a long time, and he’s doing good things for the first time in even longer....
Kevin Harlan's Play-By-Play Radio Call Of The <i>MNF</i> Idiot On The Field Is An All-Timer

Allen Robinson Is A Magician
The Jags lost, but it wasn’t for lack of effort. Allen Robinson took a ball-separating hit from Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, but made a clean recovery....
South Dakota State Tight End Makes A Gorgeous One-Handed Touchdown Catch
The fade route, in theory, should exploit the height mismatch between the receiver and defender, but it usually results in an aggravating incompletion. In Saturday’s game against Drake, South Dakota State tight end Dallas Goedert made it work....
Central Michigan Upsets Oklahoma State With Hail Mary Lateral [Updates]
Central Michigan, which completed one of the greatest Hail Mary plays of all time two years ago, did it again to beat #22 Oklahoma State 30-27 when Cooper Rush connected with Jesse Kroll, who then lateraled to Corey Willis for the touchdown. ...

Lamar Jackson Is Unreal
After accounting for eight touchdowns in the first half against Charlotte last weekend, Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson picked up the pace this week against Syracuse and scored three touchdowns within the first five minutes of the game. He added another one later in the first quarter. ...

Today's Shocking Miss Of The Day Comes To You All The Way From Lithuania
My Lithuanian is a little rusty, but I assume that the announcer’s “Oi yoi yoi! Oi yoi yoi!” in response to this Kauno Žalgiris striker missing the unmissible—a completely open net with the keeper yards away from goal—translates to something like: “Jesus Christ, did he really just blow that??? Like,...
Broncos Fullback Scores 28-Yard Touchdown On First Career Carry
A few plays after setting a key block to spring C.J. Anderson for a long run, Broncos rookie Andy Janovich took the very first carry of his career 28 yards into the end zone. Bene Benwikere clearly was not expecting Janovich to get the ball, as he ran in too quickly. Panthers safety Scott Simonson c...

Until a week ago, the fastest any human had ever gone on a skateboard was 80 MPH. That is fast enough to leave you streaked across a generous stretch of road should you fall, but it was not nearly as mega gnarly as Kyle Wester’s 89.4 MPH shred that he pulled off on August 29....
Dansby Swanson's First Career Dinger Was A Madcap, Inside-The-Park Dash
Dansby Swanson is one of the hottest prospects in Major League Baseball, and he hit the first home run of his career tonight in rather lively fashion. Swanson, whose name is real and not the product of an overly on-the-nose college football head coach name generator, sent a pitch all the way to what...
