50 Greatest Athlete Wardrobe Malfunctions
Before Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake came along, we didn’t know what to call it when an athlete’s basketball shorts got pulled down, or their swimming suit got tugged by an overzealous water polo opponent. But now we do. We call them athlete wardrobe malfunctions. Of course, in the olden days, athlete wardrobe malfunctions were […]

When you host an international soccer match, there are lots of things you have to do to make it go off smoothly.

JJ Watt Box Jump Proves JJ Watt Can’t Do Everything After All (Pic)
We’ve already seen what a really, really insanely awesome box jump looks like today thanks to Florida State’s PJ Williams. Now we’re going to see a really bad one courtesy of footballmonster JJ Watt.

Andrea Bargnani Really Sucks at Defense (Video)
Andrea Bargnani is nowhere near the worst #1 NBA draft pick in recent memory, let alone of all time. The guy’s averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds per game in his nine-year NBA career, and his PER is just a hair under the league-average of 15.

Alex Ovechkin Wipes Out While Celebrating 40th Goal of the Season (Video)
Alex Ovechkin is playing for a new coach in a completely new system this season. That often causes problems for one-dimensional players.

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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.
