15 Bizarre Off-Field Baseball Injuries
Over the course of a 162-game MLB season, the daily grind—playing 6 days a week, summer heat, red-eye flights—is going to take its toll on every player. Injuries are going to mount as guys strain obliques, tweak hamstrings, dislocate shoulders, and pull groins. There’s just no way around it. Then again, it’s not always day-to-day [...]

This Day In Sports History (March 23rd) – Wayne Gretzky
It was on this day in 1994 that Wayne Gretzky scored his record breaking 802nd career NHL goal. Gretzky surpassed his childhood hero Gordie Howe, whose record stood for almost 15 years. In the second period of a game against the Vancouver Canucks, Gretzky received a cross-ice feed from Marty McSorley and buried it into [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 3/22/12 — Bradley Beal
Most NBA Mock Drafts these days will have Florida Gators guard Bradley Beal going somewhere within the top ten. That is largely because of his ability to do it all from the guard position, and he demonstrated that once again last night during the Gators’ Sweet Sixteen match-up against Marquette. Two areas of Beal’s game [...]

Scuba Diver’s Leg Nearly Taken Off By A Tiger Shark (Video)
When it comes to swimming, I have one rule: If it isn’t a mammal, I don’t want to be swimming with it. That includes everything, from snakes and jellyfish, to sharks. And believe me, there are plenty of mammals I also wouldn’t want to be swimming with, like lions, whales and fat chicks. However, there [...]

25 Excellent Cheerleader Gifs
I’m not going to waste your time with a lengthy introduction for this list. Cheerleaders are just awesome. You know it. I know it. They know it. So I don’t need to explain why I would do a list of cheerleader gifs any more than a short order cook needs to explain why he puts [...]

Chris Bosh, LeBron James and Kemba Walker have all provided us with some great basketball flops, but none may be more embarrassing, or more comical, than the flop provided by Mick Pinnisi of the Philippines Basketball Association.

Three Harlem Globetrotters Take On An Entire Team (Video)
Watching these three members of the Harlem Globetrotters dance around the opposition makes me wonder why an NBA team doesn’t acquire the services of “TNT,” “Too Tall” and “Firefly,” surround them with some big men, and let them run wild on the court? As a Toronto Raptors fan, I can’t help but wonder why they [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 3/21/12 — Josh Smith
With fourth-place in the Eastern Conference in their sights, the Atlanta Hawks are well aware of the fact that they have to win games like last night’s home contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers if they want any chance of hosting a first-round playoff series. And while the Cavs did give the Hawks everything they had, [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 3/20/12 — Malkin, Crosby And Neal
When the Winnipeg Jets hosted the Washington Capitals last Friday, their fans could be heard taunting Alex Ovechkin with chants of “Crosby’s better!” During last night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Jets players would learn that not only is Sidney Crosby better than Ovechkin these days, but so too are Evgeni Malkin and James [...]

Rapid City Rush Fan Breaks The Glass With His Hands (Video)
When the glass shatters during a hockey game, 99% of the time the impact causing it to crack comes from within the playing surface, whether it be via a 100-plus m.p.h. slapshot, or a bone-crushing body check. As for the other 1%, that would account for the odd instance when a fan’s excitement allows him, [...]

13 Worst NBA Teams of All Time
With the 2011-12 NBA season now a little more than two-thirds of the way completed, it’s becoming fairly obvious which teams are the cream of the crop, and which teams are at the bottom of the barrel.

Alejandro Paz Goes On An Insane Bike Ride Through A Peruvian Rock Garden (Video)
After making his way up the Andes with his mountain bike, there was only one way for Peruvian cyclist Alejandro Paz to make it back to the bottom.

Stat Line Of The Night — 3/19/12 — Brian Rolston
In terms of scoring, the 2011-12 NHL season hasn’t been a very productive one for Brian Rolston, as he entered last night’s game with just 13 points in 60 games. He recorded his first multi-point game of the season during a two-point effort against the Florida Panthers last Thursday, and he would double that total [...]

11 Best Athletes Currently Under The Age Of 23
The other day, as I watched highlights of 22-year-old Steven Stamkos scoring his NHL-leading 50th goal of the season, I got to wondering: how many people can ever truly say that they’ve reached the very top of their profession, whatever that profession may be? And then I wondered, of those people who do reach the [...]
