Nantz: Pebble Beach Is The World's Best Golf Course, So You Should Respect Bill Belichick For Playing It
Pebble Beach Golf Links (among the other courses associated with the Pebble Beach Pro-Am) is one of the most desired courses on Earth for hackers to play. Today's CBS broadcast of the event regularly referred to it as "The World's Best Golf Course." Yet for some competitors in the Pro-Am, CBS golf...
Sweden Has Rednecks Who Drift Tractors On Rally Courses
This is presumably a Michelin promo video for this weekend's Rally Sweden WRC event in Värmland, but for whatever reason there's video interspersed of a side event which features people drifting their farm tractors.

David Robinson Was Victimized By One Of The Great Videobombs Of All Time

Digger Phelps Is Tired Of Kentucky Fans' Bullshit; Kentucky Fans Tell Him To Go To Hell

Bill Murray Is Wearing A Ghillie Suit And Punting Footballs At The Pebble Beach Pro-Am
I'd urge anyone watching this to try not to make sense of it. Bill Murray (paired with D.A. Points) is competing today at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in a ghillie suit, what appear to be gardening gloves, and at one point he punted a football into the crowd. It's all so ludicrously surreal you may wi...

AccuWeather Predicts A One Hundred Percent Chance Of Derek Holland
Last night, Derek Holland dropped by News 8's studio to give Peter Delkus a hand with the weather forecasting. What followed was a clinic on how to be a goofball Major League Baseball player who reads the weather for a local news broadcast. Highlights include the weatherman—"meteorologist"—calling...
Clint Dempsey Is Still Scoring Goals, And This One Was A Tactical Nuke
Don't let this video frame fool you: Clint Dempsey is focused. The Fulham star continues to make his case for being the best American ever to play in the English Premier League, and this strike to put his squad up 2-0 on Stoke City was lethal. It's his 11th goal of the season. Sure, it may have te...

Jeremy Lin Is Eating Derek Fisher Alive
Jeremy Lin has 18 points at the half of the Knicks' home battle against Los Angeles, and the Lakers' strategy of having Derek Fisher guard the New York sensation isn't working out so well—as you can see with this spin-o-rama drive. Expect Kobe to be be on Lin for the second half in an attempt to ...
Vince Wilfork Straight Up Told The Refs They Blew A Call In New England's Favor

"This Is Live, Isn't It?" Asks The Rock Just After Dropping A "Bullshit" On <em>SportsCenter</em>
Once again, John Buccigross is in the middle of daytime SportsCenter antics, this time with Dwayne Johnson, who may or may not still be using "The Rock" professionally. Johnson was on ESPN to promote some lame-ass Jurassic Park ripoff titled Journey 2, which sounds more like the name of Steve Per...
Jeremy Lin Also Dominates Intramural Flag Football Games
There's just no stopping this Lin fellow. Here he is taking over what appears to be the 2009 Harvard intramural flag football championship between Winthrop House and Leverett House (respect).
