Teen Falls 45 Feet From Ski Lift After Throwing Snowball At The Chair Ahead Of Him
First, let's mention that this 17-year-old, who plummeted from the chair lift at Ski Santa Fe earlier this month, is OK. Despite being helicoptered from the mountain, he did not require surgery, and was released from the hospital after a few days of observation. Knowing that, we won't feel bad in ...
Greg Monroe Will Not Be Purchasing The Poster Of This Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Dunk
Shame is not the reason Monroe won't seek out this dunk again. It's because he's dead. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist killed him. He exploded Monroe into a million pieces. There are bits of sinew and gristle dotting the upper reaches of the Time Warner Cable Arena. Monroe's parents and sister were notifie...
Flyers-Penguins Is The NHL's Best Rivalry
You could call it hockey for people who don't like hockey, but that's a disservice to those of us who love a good, boring, defensive clinic, and also love Flyers-Penguins barnburners. Last night's edition featured everything you'd want to show a friend who isn't sold about the NHL: end-to-end action...
The Only Field Goal Kansas Made In Two Overtimes Was The Game-Winner
Kansas beat Oklahoma State 68-67 Wednesday night in a double-overtime thriller that had Bill Self dancing like a mad man. Kansas won, remarkably, despite failing to make a field goal for about nine minutes and 45 seconds of the 10 minutes played in overtime....
James Harden Sinks Half-Court Buzzer-Beater
As time ticked away in the third quarter of Oklahoma City-Houston, Russell Westbrook was hanging on for the last shot of the period and finally drove to the basket with about seven seconds left.

Did Derrick Nix Smack Cody Zeller In The Nuts, Or Did Zeller Make Him Do It?
Senior Derrick Nix is Michigan State's team captain, but he's done some pretty uncaptain-like things. Like an offseason arrest for impaired driving and marijuana possession (the latter charge was dropped.) Like offering up bulletin board material when he called Victor Oladipo overrated. And then, t...
The Worst Free-Throw Attempt Ever, Explained By The Woman Who Took It
On Monday, we brought you footage of what we described as the worst free-throw attempt of all time. The shot truly is a thing to behold, and we couldn't help but wonder (after watching it for the 20th time) how exactly a free throw could fall so far from the rim. This was a question that we neede...
Giancarlo Stanton Got Drilled In The Head With A Fastball
Giancarlo Stanton, the Marlins' best player and only hope of selling tickets, took a ball to the dome during a simulated game this afternoon. The offending pitcher?

This Behind-The-Back Table Tennis Shot Confused The Heck Out Of Its Victim
This happened over the weekend at the ITTF Kuwait Open (that explains the announcer), but we're just getting it to you now because we assumed you hadn't yet received your Kuwait Open highlights DVD. Sue us....
Pavel Datsyuk Scores Goal After Skating Through Entire Team
This is hockey's version of going coast-to-coast, though with a much greater degree of difficulty. It's the Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk single-handedly tying the Predators and forcing overtime with 6:30 to play last night in Nashville. Datsyuk ultimately couldn't do it all, though. The Preds went on ...
Tuesday Night Fights: Rodney Anonymous Examines A Redneck Double Feature Involving Brass Knuckles And Dumpsters

Nine Guys Putt Into A Single Hole And It's Sort Of Impressive In A Useless Way
Things we did not know: Campbell University, in North Carolina, has a PGA-accredited golf management program. It "allows students to acquire the specialized knowledge and skills necessary for success in the golf industry." One of those skills is trick shots. Each month, the program has a competiti...
Goalkeeper Collapses On Pitch From Heat Exhaustion, Terrible Human Being Scores On Him
This took place on Sunday, during a match in Peru’s top level. Club Union Comercio was down a goal with 20 minutes remaining when goalie Juan Flores corralled a ball before collapsing to the grass. It was heat exhaustion and Flores was fine, but we’ve seen far too many players go down like that with...
Is It Possible To <em>Accidentally</em> Break A Player's Jaw With A Two-Handed Stick Swing?
A major junior hockey disciplinarian is going to have to decide, after the QMJHL indefinitely suspended Moncton's Ross Johnston for this play. Johnston's stick struck Halifax's Brian Lovell in the face, breaking his jaw, and requiring surgery that will keep him out the rest of the season. But is i...
Bill Raftery Asks Jay Bilas If He's Ever Been Ridden
If you dig those awkward silences, this one's for you: a discussion about "riding the hot hand" during last night's Notre Dame-Pitt game led to Bill Raftery springing a loaded question on Jay Bilas. Nervous chuckling, and a "moving right along" segue followed....
Meet The Cowboys' New $2 Million Luxury Bus, Named "The Elegant Lady"

Forty-five feet long, 8'6" wide, and 13 feet tall, the coach will shuttle Cowboys b...
Cam Ward Is Bested By A Bouncing Puck Shot From Behind The Red Line
This is just poor. Max Pacioretty notched his first goal of the season in what can generously be described as a wrist shot, modified knuckle-puck, but more accurately described as a dump in....
When Is It OK For A Coach To Shove A Player?
Early in the second half, with Cal down 12 to USC at home, head coach Mike Montgomery called a timeout. When junior Allen Crabbe, the Golden Bears' leading scorer, reached the bench he was met with a sharp shove in the chest. Crabbe and Montgomery exchanged angry words, and Crabbe had to be separ...
