Little has gone wrong for the Tampa Bay Rays’ players within the friendly confines of Tropicana Field this season (they are 14-3 at home thus far). Unfortunately, the same can not be said for the Rays’ fans. Earlier in the month we provided you with footage of the magical home run ball that bounced off [...]
Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.
The Game: Phoenix Coyotes @ Los Angeles Kings
The Reason: You won’t see me pick the over in a Los Angeles Kings game often, but today I will be making an exception with the line set at 4.5. After struggling to score throughout the entire regular season, the Kings have been finding the back of the net on a much more consistent basis in the playoffs, as they have scored at least four goals of their own in six of their…
Scoring a goal against Toronto FC isn’t much of an accomplishment these days, unless it is done in a brilliant fashion similar to what Eric Hassli of the Vancouver Whitecaps provided last night. With the Whitecaps trailing 1-0 in the 91st minute, Hassli volleyed a cross from teammate Alain Rocha past the Toronto keeper and [...]
The NBA on TNT halftime crew are no strangers to awkwardness. That fact was evident when they decided to stage a “Shirts-Off Contest” between Charles Barkley and Shaq on Tuesday, and it was reinforced once again during halftime of yesterday’s Game Two showdown between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Lakers. Between their [...]
Entering the 2011-12 NBA season, the biggest question surrounding the Boston Celtics was their aging roster. Many believed the condensed schedule from the lockout would be especially taxing on their senior players, but it hasn’t been taxing enough to prevent them from finishing fourth in the regular season and winning their first-round playoff series against [...]
It was on this day in 1985 that Michael Jordan was named the NBA rookie of the year. He would beat out the likes of Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, Sam Perkins and Sam Bowie to win the prestigious award. Jordan averaged an incredible 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.4 steals per game that [...]
It was on this day in 1989 that Cito Gaston was named the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. It was his first managerial job in the Majors and three years later he would go on to lead the club to their first ever World Series title. Gaston joined the Jays in 1982 as a [...]
It was on this day in 1984 that the Chicago White Sox and the Milwaukee Brewers played in the longest game in Major League Baseball history. The game lasted eight hours and six minutes before the Sox finally won 7-6 in the 25th inning. The game actually began at 7:30 pm on May 8th, but [...]
Sacha Heppell’s attempt to make the Denver Broncos’ cheerleading squad as a male was nothing more than a joke. Sharon Simmons’ attempt to make the Dallas Cowboys’ cheerleading squad as a 55-year-old grandma is anything but that. While Sharon may be old enough to be the mother of most of the other women trying out [...]
Perhaps this home run ball, which bounced off the groin of one man before striking his woman in the face, was simply foreshadowing the events that would take place between this couple later in the evening. Whatever the case may be, this isn’t the first time a Rays fan has taken a homer to the [...]
Yu Darvish has displayed an incredible ability to send opposing batters back to their respective dugout on a regular basis, as he has struck out a total of 44 batters over the course of his first six Major League starts, while compiling a 4-1 record on the mound. During last night’s game against the Baltimore [...]
The LFL may be on hiatus for a year as they look to expand their product around the world while shifting their schedule from the winter to the spring and summer seasons, but that hasn’t stopped the league from continuing to produce some must-see footage. And speaking of must-see Lingerie Football League footage, check out [...]
The faces of all NBA players may be safe for the time being, as Ron Artest, a.k.a. Metta World Peace, is still serving his seven-game suspension for elbowing James Harden in the face during an over-enthusiastic post-dunk celebration. The face of Conan O’Brien and his sidekick, Andy Richter, on the other hand, were at serious [...]
Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.
The Game: Boston Celtics @ Atlanta Hawks
The Reason: After winning the first game of the series, the Atlanta Hawks have fallen on hard times, losing their last three contests to the Boston Celtics. Sunday’s 22-point victory for the Celtics seemed to be especially deflating for the Hawks, as they simply had no answer for All-Star guard Rajon Rondo. They had one day off to try and regroup before tonight’s…
The Phoenix Coyotes obviously weren’t distracted by the gorgeous redhead with the incredible rack seated behind their bench during Game 5 of their Western Conference Semifinal against the Nashville Predators last night, as they earned the 2-1 victory and will now take on the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Finals. I, on the [...]
