Grown-Ass Men Fighting Over A Baseball Bat, In Extreme Slow Motion
Edwin Encarnación let a bat fly into the stands during the ninth inning Saturday in Texas, and some Rangers fans engaged in some epic and embarrassing struggle in an attempt to take home a very special souvenir. We slowed the footage down for your enjoyment of every participant's role in this true t...

Let's Watch Arsenal Fans Celebrate The FA Cup In Extreme Slow Motion
Arsenal took home its first trophy in nine years thanks to Aaron Ramsey drilling home an extra-time winner to put the Gunners past Hull City at Wembley. Victory seemed quite in doubt after Hull took an early 2-0 lead, so you can excuse these Arsenal fans for going quite batty in the moment....

Yasiel Puig Hits Grand Slam With Self In Video Game, Reacts Accordingly
Does Yasiel Puig play as himself when he plays video games? Of course he does! Does he flip the hell out when he hits a grand slam with the digital version of himself in that video game? I think you already know the answer to that question....

Donald Sterling: "I Don't Know Why The Girl Had Me Say Those Things"
More than two weeks after the release of leaked audio that led to him losing the Clippers, Donald Sterling has broken his media silence, and he insists he's not actually as awful a person as his words, deeds, and decades of evidence would suggest....

Grieving Marty St. Louis Thanks Teammates After Scoring On Mother's Day
Martin St. Louis's mother died unexpectedly on Thursday. After flying home and speaking with his family, he decided his mom would have wanted him to play in Game 5. But Game 6 promised the full emotional wringer, and with his father and sister in the stands, on Mother's Day, St. Louis scored the gam...

A Goddamned Dinosaur Threw Out The First Pitch At The Padres Game
A dinosaur—an honest-to-goodness dinosaur—trotted to the mound and threw a ball to a hydrocephalic cartoon friar and then the Padres and Royals went and played baseball anyway. One of the largest hypercarnivores to ever walk the earth, here, in San Diego, after 65 million years of extinction, and we...

<em>Borderlands 2</em> Is The Best Video Game Ever
So a new Borderlands game is coming in the fall. Now, a guy like me gets all kinds of news throughout the course of the average day—Facebook ate a baby, girlfriend has a rash on her foot, another A's pitcher's getting Tommy John surgery—but this cut through the clatter like a broadsword through Ned ...

The Man Who Scored The NHL's Greatest Shootout Goal Hangs Up His Skates
Defenseman Marek Malik announced his retirement from hockey today, after five years in Europe following a 15-year NHL career that stretched all the way back to the Hartford Whalers. But few players, especially with that kind of service time, are so inextricably linked to one meaningless moment as Ma...

Jeremy Guthrie Chucked A Ball Into The Upper Deck
Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie, presumably upset about a home run allowed earlier in the inning, snagged a line drive for the third out and hurled that sonofabitch to the heavens. ...

How To Sneak Into A Baseball Game With Nothing More Than A Baby Bottle
The rest of this, I could take or leave. But there are important life lessons to be gleaned from that first bit—namely that looking purposeful, entitled, and a little bit harried will open many doors for you. (That's how Nick Young snuck into the NBA, isn't it?)...

Carlos Gomez Hug Makes Young Fan Cry
The hugs and tears are great, but the sweetest part is the tentative little wave she gives him to say hi....

Hey, It's 15 Years (And A Day) Since Fernando Tatis Hit Two Grand Slams In An Inning
On April 23, 1999, Fernando Tatis set an MLB record that's as unlikely as it is pointless, hitting two grand slams in a single inning. It is, I feel confident saying, unlikely to ever be broken....

Every Stanley Cup Presentation Since 1949
Via Kukla's Korner, this wonderful video shows a few seconds of each Stanley Cup ceremony dating back to the '49 Maple Leafs. Some old-timey differences are disconcerting (the top half of the trophy used to come off!), but on the whole, it's a reassuring reminder that the ultimate goal hasn't change...

Matt Cooke And The Myth Of Reform
Colorado's two-way defenseman Tyson Barrie, who's been one of this series's best players, will miss the next four-to-six weeks with an MCL injury after this knee-on-knee hit from Matt Cooke. Cooke will miss some time too—he's got an in-person hearing scheduled with the league, which means his suspen...

We're Really Going To Miss Mike Woodson Getting Pissed Off At The Knicks
The Knicks are done being bad for this season, so it's almost time to introduce a new coach. You know it, I know it, Carmelo Anthony knows it, Phil Jackson knows it, and Mike Woodson knows it. Steve Kerr knows it too, it seems: According to a report in the Post, Kerr "absolutely expects" to be offer...

This Might've Been The Ugliest Inning In MLB History
In last night's Blue Jays-Twins game, three Toronto relievers combined to bring you this disgusting eighth inning: walk, walk, sac bunt, walk, wild pitch, walk and wild pitch, stolen base, walk and wild pitch, stolen base, walk, walk, single, walk, strikeout, groundout. It was remarkable, really....

NBA Feuds Played Out In <em>NHL 14</em> Fights
It's not quite Melo/KG, Westbrook/Beverley, or Cuban/Stern, but it's probably the closest we're going to get....

The Pirates And Reds Hit All The Home Runs
The Bucs and Reds combined for 10 home runs in just six innings, before being suspended due to rain. Here are all 10 of them, hit to dwindling crowds, increasing rain, and—because it was Cincinnati's "Bark in the Park" promotion—presumably a growing stench of wet dog fur....

Phillies Fans' Reactions To Dan Uggla's Grand Slam Are Amazing
Your most compelling sports video of the year comes from ESPN, which caught these Phillies fans taunting Dan Uggla—then being rudely interrupted by Uggla's grand slam. It was brilliant enough (seriously, great job ESPN) but we took it a bit further with extreme slow motion....

Is MLB Replay Just Making Things More Complicated?
"It's extremely difficult to have any faith in the process that's being used," Red Sox manager John Farrell said of MLB's new replay review procedure, which went against Boston on consecutive days. "On the heels of yesterday, it's hard to have any faith in the system."...
