Here Are The Goofiest Baseball Umpires Ever Caught On Video

Cubs Catcher Is Winning Pitcher, Scores Winning Run In 16-Inning Game
I do not envy the hardy fans who watched all 6:27 of the game between the 43-63 Rockies and the 44-61 Cubs, including 12 straight scoreless innings. But those who did stick it out saw something rare: Chicago catcher John Baker pitched a scoreless top of the 16th, and became the winning pitcher whe...
NFL Exec Stumbles Way Through Ray Rice Explanation
Adolpho Birch became the highest-ranking NFL executive so far to publicly address Ray Rice's two-game suspension for domestic violence, a penalty that many found lenient. But in his appearance on Mike & Mike this morning, one of Roger Goodell's top deputies had no good answers....
Cop Gets Pushy With Rockies Bro; Rockies Bro Becomes American Hero
The temptation is to say there are no winners here, what with the cop getting needlessly pushy and the bro trying to summon James Madison from his grave with his slurring bluster about injustice. But you know what? Fuck this. We're on Team Bro here....
Tony Dungy Still Isn't Sure What The Problem Is
Tony Dungy tried again today to explain his Michael Sam comments, this time on the The Dan Patrick Show, and it somehow became all about Jonathan Martin. ...
Pujols, Trout Mock Fernando Rodney's "Arrow" Celebration
There's nothing more frustrating than an opposing closer being demonstrative about doing his job. Say, Fernando Rodney getting the third out, then miming pulling an arrow out of his quiver, nocking it, and firing. Infuriating, if it's against you. Yesterday, the Angels got the very best possible r...
The All-Star Game "In Memoriam" Montage We Should Have Gotten
MLB and Fox came under fire for not mentioning Tony Gwynn during the all-star game broadcast, and responded with a joint statement explaining that by singling out one recently passed ballplayer for recognition, it could be a slight to others. Well, here's the perfect solution....
Ivan Johnson Gets Tossed For Saying "Really, Motherfucker" At Ref
What you see here is the Dallas Mavericks' Ivan Johnson getting tossed from a summer league game against the Charlotte Hornets for the crime of looking staring at an official and saying "Really, motherfucker?" after having fallen to the floor....
Grand Jury Clears Texas Tech Recruit Of Charges For Pick-Up Hoops Punch [Update]
Nigel Bethel II was dismissed from the Texas Tech football team on June 29, a day after a scuffle with women's hoops leading scorer Amber Battle in a rec-center basketball game. Now he's been cleared of charges, and after viewing surveillance video that shows Battle punching Bethel first, the grand ...
Georgia WR Chris Conley Made A <em>Star Wars</em> Fan Film And It's Great
Georgia WR Chris Conley is an unabashed Star Wars geek. What started as a simple attempt to get some mock lightsaber battles going around campus eventually morphed into this: Retribution, a fan film with some ridiculously good production values....
Bizarre Footage Shows Oscar Pistorius Reenacting Girlfriend's Killing
Australian TV last night aired some truly strange video: Oscar Pistorius, reenacting the night he shot and killed Reeva Steenkamp. ...
David Ortiz Takes Off For First Before Ball Four Is Thrown
Some might say this was another dick move by Ortiz, walking to first before actually being walked. I would not! Last night's 2-1 Cubs win somehow took 3:35, and I am in favor of anything that makes Red Sox games shorter....
Rare Video Of Tony Parker And Boris Diaw Training Together As Teens
Here's some very cool, never-before-seen (by me) footage of Tony Parker and Boris Diaw balling together at Paris training center INSEP in 1999, when both were just 17 years old....

MLB's New Home-Plate Rule Had Its Lowest Moment [Update]
This run, the Reds' sixth of 11, didn't have much of an impact on the result of a game, which saw Pirates outfielder Travis Snider take the mound in the ninth (and strike out Joey Votto). But the controversial play at the plate may have been the best example yet that no one, not managers, coaches, o...
Pablo Sandoval Foul Ball Smashes Reporter's Laptop
MLB.com's Reds reporter Mark Sheldon had the first version of his game story all written up and ready to file, but he wanted to wait until the third out of the top of the eighth. With two outs, Pablo Sandoval fouled a ball into the Cincinnati press box, smashing the shit out of Sheldon's computer....
Ben Revere Homered!
It finally happened. In his 1,466th career at-bat, his 1,566th plate appearance, the Phillies' Ben Revere hit an honest-to-goodness home run. ...
Hero White Sox Fan Snags Flying Bat, Saves Baby
Eileen Depesa thought quickly—and acted quicker, with a one-handed snag of Tyler Flowers's runaway bat that seemed to be heading right for the infant sitting directly behind her. The gentleman next to her, ducking for cover? He did not acquit himself nearly so well....
Ray Rice: "Sometimes In Life, You Will Get Knocked Down"
Ray Rice, who won't see a day in jail for (allegedly) knocking the shit out of his then-fiancée in a casino elevator, held one of the most insanely un-self-aware press conferences in football history today. A sampling:...
Carey Price Is Out For The Series
The Canadiens' chances of reaching their first Cup final since 1993 has suffered a major blow, after coach Michel Therrien announced that goalie Carey Price will miss at least the rest of the series with an injury suffered in a Game 1 collision with the Rangers' Chris Kreider. As you might expect, s...
