Bill Simmons Is a Big Baby (Video)
I like Bill Simmons. He’s a good writer, and Grantland is pretty great. That being said, he can be a bit of a baby sometimes, and last night was one of those times. During ESPN’s post-game wrap-up of Game 4 of the NBA Finals, it took a pretty long time for moderator Sage Steele to […]

Steeplechase Fail: Frontrunner Trips on Last Barrier, Falls on Face, Finishes Second (GIFs)
If I just showed you the GIF of this high school steeplechase runner tripping on a barrier and falling face-first onto the track, that would be pretty entertaining. But it gets more entertaining when you know the context. You see, this wasn’t just any 3,000-meter steeplechase. It was for the New York state championship. And […]

David Booth Tries Slacklining, Fails Hilariously (Video)
What is slacklining, you ask? It’s like tightrope walking, except you use an industrial strength nylon strap instead of a rope, and it’s not tight. Hence the world slack right there in the title. In any case, slacklining is a thing people do now. It’s a great way to improve your balance, lateral stability, and […]

Wrigley Scoreboard Operator Asleep on the Job Is Pretty Much the Most Cubs Thing Ever (Video)
The Chicago Cubs want us to believe things are going to be different. The Ricketts family bought the team in 2009. Since then they have hired former Red Sox GM Theo Epstein as team president, pursued major upgrades to the crumbling (but otherwise lovely) Wrigley Field, and committed to a major rebuild—all in hopes of […]

Maldavian Soccer Player Turns Epic Penalty Kick Fail Into Legendary Penalty Kick Goal (Video)
I’m not entirely sure whether the penalty kick you are about to see was born out of incompetence or diabolical genius. You’re just going to have to judge for yourself. On Thursday, the Maldives took on Afghanistan for third place in the AFC Challenge Cup—which is basically the Asian soccer championship for developing countries. Hence Maldives […]

This Rap Song About the Oklahoma City Thunder Is Really, Really Not Good (Video)
I don’t know what it is about sports that makes fans want to create songs about their favorite teams, but I do know that it’s almost always—and I mean like 99% of the time—a terrible idea. Whether the goal is to be funny or totally ernest, making good music (or even good bad music) is really, really […]

Browns Welcome Johnny Football to Cleveland with Embarrassing Twitter Fail (Pic)
Last night, the Cleveland Browns did some Cleveland Brownsy things and some not so Cleveland Brownsy things. The not so Brownsy things? They traded down from #4 to #8 and acquired another first round pick in 2015, which was actually really smart. Then they selected cornerback Justin Gilbert with the #8 pick, which was also […]

Chicago Sports Reporter Ridiculed for Asking Patrick Kane Moronic Question (Video)
Late last night, after Patrick Kane basically saved the Chicago Blackhawks’ season with an overtime goal against the St. Louis Blues in Game 4 of their Western Conference playoff series, the Twittersphere went apeshit when a Chicago sports reporter asked him if that was his first playoff overtime winner. Why did the Twittersphere go apeshit? […]

Swaggy P Throws Out Absolutely Awful First Pitch at Dodger Stadium (Video)
The Lakers had a pretty terrible season. Kobe played just six games and the team finished in 14th place in the Western Conference with a record of 27-55. Chalk it up to the curse of the Zen Master, I guess. Of course, all the misery was great news for Nick Young, aka Swaggy P, who had […]

Umpires Use Replay to Count Balls and Strikes, Still Get It Wrong (Video)
Last night in Tampa, with Rays shortstop Yunel Escobar at the plate facing the Twins’ Samuel Deduno in the bottom of the 5th, home plate umpire Paul Schrieber lost track of the count. But hey, no problem. MLB has replay now. All they’d have to do is look at the replay, count the balls and […]

MMA Fighter Collapses in Corner, Allowed to Continue Fight (Video)
On Friday night, the Resurrection Fighting Alliance and the Wyoming State Board of Mixed Martial Arts really looked like a bunch of idiots. Why? Because they let a fight continue after one of the guys had passed out cold in his corner in between the fourth and fifth rounds. The event was RFA 14, and […]

Atlanta Braves Set American Flag on Fire at Home Opener (Pic)
See that photo above? That’s Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves. If you look closely, out in center field, above the giant video board, you’ll see the American flag. Here’s what it looks like up close: Now, there’s nothing special about this particular American flag. It’s not unusually large, and as far as I […]

Worst Intentional Walk Ever Turns Into Walk-Off Home Run for Ole Miss (Video + GIF)
It’s always exciting when your team gets a walk-off win, and it’s even more exciting when it comes on a walk-off home run. But a walk-off win on a walk-off home run that was supposed to be an intentional walk? That’s just nuts. And it happened on Friday night at the Ole Miss Rebels’ Swayze […]

Philadelphia Eagles Sent Guard Evan Mathis a Check for $0, So He Posted It on Instagram (Pic)
Philadelphia Eagles left guard Evan Mathis just finished the second year of a five-year, $25.5 million deal. That’s pretty good money for an offensive lineman. In fact, the $5.1 million average value of the deal ranks 14th in the league among guards. Here’s the thing, though. Mathis isn’t the 14th-best interior guard in the NFL. […]

Even When the Chicago Cubs Win They’re a Disaster (GIFs)
Like the headline there says, even when the Chicago Cubs win they’re a disaster. Yesterday the baby bears were in Pittsburgh playing the Pirates, and although they managed to avoid a season-opening sweep with a 3-2 win, they could not avoid making asses of themselves on two separate occasions. The first offense came courtesy of […]
