"If They Overturn This, The Officials Will Not Get Out Of Here Alive": Highlights From Last Night's Dueling Packers-Seahawks Radio Calls

What In The World Just Happened At The End Of <em>Monday Night Football</em>?

CFL Player Returns Missed FG 129 Yards For A Touchdown
Trent Guy has had an interesting career. The Louisville WR was shot in the back at a club in 2008, during a fight with a man who groped his fiancée.

Here's Bill Belichick Making Gross Noises
Bill Belichick has a reputation for giving boring soundbites, but during his press conference following Sunday night's game against the Ravens, the moments when he wasn't talking are what stood out.

Torrey Smith Makes Diving Touchdown Catch
Torrey Smith's brother passed away early Sunday morning following a motorcycle crash. Smith left the team hours later, but told John Harbaugh he wanted to play.

Replacement Officials Actively Sabotaging Players In The End Zone Now
OK, so this was not on purpose, but is it ever funny. Here we have an official tossing his cap, which is not itself rare. However, Kevin Ogletree steps on the exact spot where the hat lands and he slips down, ruining the play. These things keep happening and we keep thinking of them as a perfect e...
Bengals Wide Receiver Throws 73-Yard Touchdown To Bengals Wide Receiver On First Possession
Mohamed Sanu is the lesser known Bengals wide receiver in this clip, but he threw a perfect ball to fellow receiver A.J.

A Horrific Injury To The Hurricanes' Malcolm Lewis Prompted A Surprisingly Tender, Touching College Football Moment

Juninho's Golazo Is Yet Another Reminder We're Lucky To Have Him In MLS
L.A. Galaxy are on a dominant streak at the moment, unbeaten in the last eight matches and out to a 3-1 lead over Toronto halfway through tonight's bout at Home Depot Center.

The Ohio University Marching Band Doing That Gangnam Style Thing Is Actually Pretty Good
I wanted to hate it, you know? Hot viral microshare reblog blah blah blah. But I also wanted to hate the actual video, and that's obviously the shit, so what can you do? These stupid nerds rocked it. I have nothing mean to say, about this routine, in particular. Good stuff. Looks hard! I hope it ge...
