An Actual Video Of 6-Foot-7, 410-Pound Motekiai Langi Playing "Football"
Yesterday I wrote that there was no video available of BYU’s newest recruit, Motekiai Langi, from the island nation of Tonga. As it turns out there is a very short video of Langi playing something resembling football at a Tuhulu football camp. It doesn’t show much, but the “light on his feet” com...
BYU Signs 6'7", 410 lbs. Hulk Based On Two Year Old Pickup BBall Game
The most intriguing news out of signing day—at least for those who find tracking every tiny movement a bit weird—was that a 6'7", 410 pound manchild signed a letter of intent to play football at BYU. The problem was, nobody knew jack shit about Motekiai Langi. No grainy highlight reel, no photos of ...

Double-OT Miami Beach Bowl Ends In All-Out Fight Between BYU & Memphis
It's a Monday afternoon, and thus time for college football live from an MLB stadium.

Cristiano Ronaldo Statue Features A Big Ol' Bulging Dick
Cristiano Ronaldo is, quite deservedly, an icon in his hometown of Funchal, Madeira, Portugal—so much so that he has a museum dedicated in his honor.

Derrick Rose Crosses Up Josh Smith, Throws No-Look Dime
When Derrick Rose was at his MVP-best, he used his speed and quickness to ruthlessly attack backpedaling opponents. Just watch people try and fail to stay in front of him in this video from 2011. Even if they knew what he was going to do, few were able to stop it....

Wazzu QB Connor Halliday Breaks NCAA Passing Record, Still Loses
Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday threw for 734 yards and six touchdowns last night against Cal. That broke not only David Klingler's 24-year-old FBS record, but the overall NCAA record of 730 for a game that was set by Old Dominion's Taylor Heinicke two years ago. The Cougars still los...
BYU Loses Quarterback Taysom Hill, Falls Apart Against Utah State
You normally wouldn't stay up late on a Friday night for Brigham Young football, but if you were ever going to, it would have been this season to watch quarterback Taysom Hill.
