19 Funny Ball Boy GIFs
In the world of pro sports, athletes get 99% of the attention. And that’s probably fair, since without them nobody would watch. But there are a lot of other people involved in making sports happen, and every once in a while it’s nice to give them a shout-out. A few months back we tried to […]

Double Anthem Fail: Singer Botches Both American and Canadian National Anthems (Videos)
It’s not uncommon for national anthems to get butchered at sporting events. Often, this seems to happen because the person singing an anthem isn’t actually from that country—like the guy who sang “O Canada” before a CFL game in Vegas back in 1994. And sometimes singers will even botch the anthem of their home and […]

Confused Wizards Announcers Mistake Airball for Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater (Video)
All sports announcers know that, while they must pay close attention to details—things like knowing the rosters and how to pronounce all the names correctly—it’s how they call the big plays that defines them. Nobody really remembers if Al Michaels could pronounce the names of all those Soviet hockey players back in 1980, or if […]

Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan Misses Free Throw by a Foot and a Half (Video)
The term “wide ride” is normally a term used in football to indicate a field goal attempt went to the right of the uprights. It’s rare that we can use it when talking about basketball, let alone NBA basketball…let alone a free throw. And yet, here we are. Last night during the Los Angeles Derby […]

How Many NHL GMs Does it Take to Operate a Television? (Video)
“How many NHL GMs does it take…?” That is the title of the following YouTube video. We’ll simply assume that the entire question being ponder is, “How many NHL GMs does it take to operate a television?” As for the answer, we don’t quite have a definitive one. What we do know, however, is that […]

Nets Bench Player Mirza Teletovic Shot Three Airballs in Less than a Minute (Video)
It seems like every NBA team has at least one bench player that barely gets any playing time. In fact, sometimes those players become fan favorites, the way Brian Scalabrine, a.k.a. “the White Mamba” did in Boston and Chicago. Unfortunately, though, not everyone is so lucky. Falling into the category of unlucky bench players is […]

Referee Takes a Caron Butler Block to the Face (Video)
I’m sure there are times this season when NBA players have wanted to whack a referee upside the head with the basketball. After all, the refs have done some pretty bizarre stuff. One guy used his foot to keep the ball inbounds for a Miami Heat player; another guy did a goofy dance just to […]

Robert Carter Jr. Goes Down Hard After a Dunk (Video)
Some people don’t mind a little showboating in sports. Other people can’t stand it. But one thing I think we can all agree on is that, if nothing else, showboating has a time and place. For example, if your basketball team is playing a far superior opponent, in their gym, on national television, and you’ve […]

21 Ill-Advised Sports Tattoos
Remember last week, when we told you about the rather interesting tattoo New York Jets coach Rex Ryan showed off on his Christmas vacation in the Bahamas? Well, that got me thinking: where does Ryan’s tattoo of his wife in a Mark Sanchez jersey rank in the pantheon of ill-advised sports tattoos? Now, by “ill-advised” […]

Female News Reporter Gets Bulldozed By Crazy Minnesota Vikings Fan on Live TV (Video)
So apparently Minnesotans were pretty pumped up for their Wild Card playoff game against division rival Green Bay this past weekend. We already told you today about the crazy fan who filmed himself smashing a coffee table (supposedly in response to the Vikings’ loss) and uploaded the video to YouTube. Now we have a video […]

Is This the Worst Free Kick Ever? (Video)
In recent months we have seen some pretty terrible penalty kicks. There was the terrible one by Jonathan Soriano of Red Bull Salzberg in Austria. And there was that equally terrible one by Brazilian superstar Neymar. However, while these awful shots must have been extremely embarrassing to the players who took them, they at least […]

Knicks’ Raymond Felton Delivers the Worst Field-Goal Attempt of the Season (Video)
As a team, the New York Knicks shot 46.2% from the field and 50% from beyond the arc during their 100-97 victory over the Nets last night. Despite the victory, one individual who didn’t appear to be helping their cause–at least not in the shooting percentage category–was guard Raymond Felton, who couldn’t seem to hit […]

This Cheerleader Hasn’t Quite Mastered the Basic Cheerleading Skills (Video)
Basketball is getting more popular in Europe every year. More and more players are getting drafted by NBA teams, and the professional Euroleague is getting better all the time. In fact, some teams are even trying to mimic the true American basketball experience by introducing cheerleaders. Unfortunately, the cheerleaders haven’t come nearly as far as […]

Watch This Referee Give the Miami Heat a Helping Hand (Video)
Maybe Mark Cuban is right after all. I always thought the Mavericks owner was just a hotheaded loudmouth spouting ridiculous conspiracy theories about how refs fix NBA games for certain teams. But I now have to admit that, after seeing the following play, at the very least I can kind of see where the guy […]
