Brent Musburger Closed Out Tonight's Broadcast By Saying Holly Rowe "Was Really Smokin' Tonight" [UPDATE]

John Wall Had Ish Smith Jumping All Over The Place Tonight
First, Wall literally pump-faked Smith over his entire body. Smith, however, was unfazed. He quickly bounced back and blocked the real shot. Pretty impressive.

Lacrosse Team Pulls Off Hidden Ball Trick To Perfection
Keep an eye on No. 15 Luke Wiles flipping the ball to No. 11 John Tavares at the start of this clip, from Friday's NLL game between Buffalo and Philadelphia.

Let's Watch Lance Armstrong Repeatedly Deny He Used PEDs
Lance Armstrong's sitdown with Oprah Winfrey—which is being taped today but won't air until Thursday—won't have a ton of drama. He's going to admit to doping, and he's probably going to cry.

Man Performs Feat Even More Incredible Than Making A Half-Court Shot For $1,000

James Harden Crossover Gives Jrue Holiday Whiplash
The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Houston Rockets 107-100 last night and oh, who cares?

The St. Joseph's Halftime Show Featured A Dunk Crew Who Couldn't Dunk
It was a big game for St. Joe's. Kicking off the conference schedule, hosting No. 14 Butler. The university knew it would need halftime entertainment commensurate with the occasion. They got some guys throwing up botched dunk after botched dunk....
NBA Ref Explains Why He's Making The Lakers And Spurs Stand Around: "I'm Stalling For Commercial Time."
The Lakers lost. Yes, again. That's not news, but this fourth-quarter conference, between Mike D'Antoni, Gregg Popovich, and referee Bill Kennedy, is one of the best things we've seen in a while....
Jamaal Franklin Goes Off The Backboard At Full Speed For This Dunk Of The Year Candidate

An Inside Look At The Impending Flying Robot Apocalypse (And How To Put A Stop To It)
The Consumer Electronics Show, held in Vegas every year during the second-ish week in January, is an odd duck.
