The 10 Most Ridiculous Shots In The NBA In 2013
The most deceptive thing about watching the NBA is the way, from time to time, it makes everyone seem totally incompetent.

Dan Patrick Soldiers Through A Brutal Interview With Alshon Jeffery

Watch Some 5- And 6-Year-Olds Run The Statue Of Liberty Play
The Suniland Sundevils adorably embarrassed their equally adorable opponents with this trick play. If I coached pee wee football, I'd run trick plays all the time. Precious little swinging gates. Darling hook and laterals. Look at them! They think they're people!...

Quarterback Fakes Out Defense With Incredible Trick Play
El Camino Real's JV quarterback, Jahlil Pinkett (Jada's nephew), pulled off the old "this is the wrong football, we need a new football, nah just kidding it's perfectly fine, my center snapped it to me and now I'm going to run, untouched, into the endzone" play so well that the defense was all "yea...

Even Matthew Stafford Didn't Know He Was Going To Fake That Spike
In 1994, as Dan Marino hustled to the ball and motioned for a spike to stop the clock, he at least nodded to Mark Ingram to be ready for a pass.

Matt Harvey's Interview With Dan Patrick Got Real Awkward Real Fast
Mets phenom Matt Harvey was a guest on the Dan Patrick Show this morning, and he was not the ideal interview subject.
