High School Basketball Coach Commits Hilarious Pep Rally Fail (Video)
Having the assistant coach of the boys basketball team throw down an alley-oop slam over a student is a good way to get the students at your school revved up for the team’s pep rally. Having that same assistant coach miss the alley-oop and shatter the backboard in the process is an even better way […]

Rangers Goalie Prospect Scores Embarrassing Hockey Own-Goal (GIF)
Relative to soccer, hockey own-goals are rare. Pucks go in the net off defensive players all the time as the result of deflections. But real hockey own-goals, where a guy actively directs the puck in his own net? You only see those a couple times a year. This is one of those times. On Thursday […]

Sad 76ers Miss Five Shots in a Row, Prove They Still Suck More Than Knicks (Video)
After the New York Knicks went and lost 16 games in a row recently, NBA fans and pundits started to wonder: could they, and not the Philadelphia 76ers, be the worst team in the league? But last night the 76ers put an end to all that silly talk with an emphatically pathetic game against those […]

This Cole Aldrich Hook Shot Airball Sums Up the Knicks 13-Game Losing Streak (Video)
The New York Knicks suffered a 101-91 drubbing last night at the hands of the Washington Wizards. The loss puts their record at 5-33 (not a typo) and extended their franchise-record losing streak to 13 games. There is much you could say about this stretched of sustained futility. You could talk about the injuries. (Oh, […]

There Was Some Accidental Nudity at Canada’s World Junior Championship Celebration, Courtesy of Alex Bilodeau (Pics)
In the center of this photograph, wearing a black coat and holding the IIHF World Junior Championship trophy, is Canadian Olympian Alex Bilodeau. He won gold in men’s moguls at the 2010 Vancouver Games, then repeated as champion at the 2014 Sochi Games. So he’s kind of a Canadian sports hero, which is why he […]

Islanders Reporter Shannon Hogan Forgets Name of Player She’s Interviewing (Video)
Islanders reporter Shannon Hogan had a moment she’d probably like to forget during the first intermission of Monday night’s Islanders-Capitals game at the Nassau Coliseum. The guys in the booth threw it to her for an interview with Isles center Anders Lee, who had scored the first period’s only goal, and she totally blanked on […]

The Jonathan Bernier Nelson Mandela Interview: So Excruciatingly Awkward, and Yet So Hard to Look Away (Video)
Last Friday was the first anniversary of the death of Nelson Mandela, and on Friday night the Toronto Raptors hosted a little gala called “The Giants of Africa” to honor the late South African leader. It was a pretty fancy affair, really. There was a red carpet, and a bunch of sports celebs. All very […]

Here’s Elton John Falling Out of a Chair at a Charity Tennis Match (Video)
On Sunday, pop music legend Elton John got together with tennis legend Billie Jean King to stage a tennis match benefitting John’s AIDS foundation at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Andy Murray was there. So was John McEnroe, and Andy Roddick, Martina Hingis, and a couple thousand well-heeled London tennis fans. So how did it go? […]

Tiger Woods Struggles: Former Best Golfer in the World Now Plays Like You and Me (Videos)
Tiger Woods returned to competition on Thursday for the first time since July. It was an unmitigated, albeit hilarious, disaster. The top-ranked golfer in the world just a year and a half ago, Tiger shot a 77 in the opening round of the Hero World Challenge—his own charity tournament—which puts him dead-last. The source of […]

Little Kid Gets Clotheslined During Warmup Skate at Oshawa Generals Game (Video)
It seemed like a good idea at the time. A few weeks ago the OHL’s Oshawa Generals decided to give a young fan the thrill of his life by sending him out onto the ice with the team for the pre-game skate prior to puck drop. They put him in a tiny little Oshawa Generals […]

Mario Balotelli Apologizes For Racist Instagram Post (Pics)
Italian soccer star Mario Balotelli wasn’t on social media for a long time. Most observers thought that was probably for the best, given Balotelli’s rash personality and the fact that it’s extremely easy to cause controversy on Instagram and Twitter. Of course, Balotelli eventually did join Twitter, then Instagram. And now, he’s finally stuck his cyber […]

Washington State Fan Eats It, Reporter Has Laugh at Her Expense (Video)
The Washington State Cougars are pretty terrible this year, just like they were last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that, and…well, you get the idea. The Cougars always suck. However, none of that matters to Washington State fans when the Washington Huskies come to town […]

This Cal Fake Punt Attempt Against USC Was Just So, So Sad (Video)
College football fans (and sports bloggers) have been blessed with an overabundance of hilariously awful fake punts this year. So when I say this Cal fake punt attempt against USC last night might be the most hilariously awful yet, that’s saying something. Yes, that Arkansas State fake punt was terrible. I mean, Jesus, they had […]

25 Hilariously Awkward Cheerleader Faces
Hilariously awkward cheerleader faces do not get nearly enough attention. Sure, cheerleaders on the whole get plenty—sometimes just because they’re hot, and sometimes because they do something really awesome (or, on occasion, really terrible). But the goofy looks they get on their faces when doing their routines with the flips and the high kicks and whatnot? No, we need […]

You’ll Never Guess How this New York Jets Trick Kickoff Return Turned Out (Video)
The New York LOLJets attempted a trick kickoff return yesterday against the Buffalo Bills. Some would call it a failure because newly acquired Percy Harvin was tackled at the three-yard line. But I call it wildly successful because it didn’t end up a safety. Now, I know what you’re saying. “If a guy gets tackled […]
