In an effort to spice up life, I have recently considered giving bungee jumping a shot. After watching the video below, I think I’ll stick with roller coasters as my source of extreme adventure.

Picture Of The Day: By A Hair
In case you can’t tell, the horse at the top, Dunaden, was awarded the victory in this incredibly close photo finish at the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday.

Fierce Rugby Brawl Between Melbourne and Manly Of Australia’s Telstra Premiership (Video)
I love baseball, but when teams brawl there’s hardly ever a solid punch to be seen.

I am not all that familiar with the game of cricket. Therefore, I am not quite sure what would constitute “one of the most amazing catches you’ll ever see on a green field,” but apparently it involves making a barehanded overhead catch at the edge of the midwicket boundary and throwing the ball back into [...]

Picture Of The Day: Hanging On By An Underwear Thread
I have both seen and heard of a shoe-string tackle before, but never have I witnessed an underwear-elastic tackle before in my life, until now.

Is This 70-Meter Basketball Shot The Highest Ever Made? (Video)
Last month we showed you footage of some young males throwing a 120 yard hole-in-one on a golf course. Originally I had figured it was nothing more than a bunch of guys with a new video camera and plenty of time on their hands simply trying to become the latest viral sensation on YouTube, but [...]

Japan Executes Lacrosse Hidden-Ball Trick To Perfection (Video)
And here we have the hidden-ball trick; an oldie but a goodie in the game of lacrosse. And surprisingly, it came in a game between Japan and Australia. Who knew that these two countries even played lacrosse, let alone are capable of performing a move like this? I don’t know about you, but they definitely [...]
