German Goalkeeper Scores Humiliating Own Goal During Friendly Against the USA (Video)
When I played soccer as a kid, they always put the kids who couldn’t kick or dribble in goal and prayed that, on occasion, they could at least manage to put themselves between the ball and the net. Apparently they take the same approach on the German national team. On Sunday afternoon in Washington DC, [...]

American Wins Most Prestigious Cheese Rolling Competition in England (Video)
At long last, the USA has conquered the most famous English sport. No, I’m not talking about soccer. The RW&B is still pretty mediocre at that. I’m talking about cheese rolling. On Sunday, at the annual running of the Gloucestershire Cheese-Rolling Race, an American man—who was decked out in a stars and stripes full-body leotard—made [...]

USA Goalkeeper Hope Solo Has A Pretty Sweet Bachelorette Pad (Photos & Video)
American goal keeper Hope Solo has a tendency to shoot her mouth off when she should probably keep it shut. There was the incident at the 2007 World Cup in which she threw her teammate and coach under the bus after being benched before a 4-0 loss to Brazil. And then there was that little [...]

Nigerian Basketball Player Breaks James Harden’s Ankles With Crossover (Video)
The USA men’s basketball team didn’t even come close to losing it’s first two games at the 2012 Summer Olympics. However, they’ve still received some criticism for their slow, sluggish starts. On Thursday, however, they silenced their critics by blitzing Nigeria right from the get-go, en route to a record setting 156-73 victory. What records [...]

LeBron James Flops With 30-Point Lead Over Nigeria (Video)
Talk about having no mercy! We already knew that LeBron James was more than willing to flop all over a basketball court in order to get a foul call, but is he capable of doing that sort of thing with a 30-point lead against a far inferior Nigerian men’s basketball team? He sure is! At [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 8/2/12 — Team USA Basketball
I was going to award the “Stat Line of the Night” for Thursday, August 2, 2012 to Carmelo Anthony after his 37 points and 10 three-pointers helped him break the Team USA single-game scoring and three-point records in under 15 minutes of action, but it was almost impossible to overlook the incredible statistical performance put [...]

Kobe Bryant’s Wife Not Too Happy About Those Pics Of Him Partying Without A Shirt
Did you know Kobe Bryant and his ridiculously hot wife Vanessa Bryant have patched things up? I didn’t. I thought they were getting a divorce. And it made sense, really, given the whole “cheating” and “being accused of rape” thing. But apparently, even though all the divorce papers were finalized this spring after Vanessa filed [...]

Here’s McKayla Maroney’s Jaw-Dropping Perfect Vault That Somehow Didn’t Receive A Perfect Score (GIF)
What you see above is what most are calling a “perfect vault” from 16-year-old U.S. female gymnast McKayla Maroney. It occurred during the women’s gymnastics team competition yesterday, and it was a significant moment for the American Team during their gold medal performance. Oddly enough, the only ones who didn’t seem to believe that this [...]

Kobe Bryant Signs Autographs Tunisian Player’s Shoe Following Olympic Basketball Beating (Video)
Question: Other than the final result, how does a basketball player know when he’s a cut above his opponents? Answer: When one of your opponents asks you for an autograph. What am I talking about? Well, let’s start at the beginning. Yesterday, the USA men’s basketball team played their second game of the 2012 Summer [...]

Michelle Obama Was Handing Out Official Congratulatory Hugs To The USA Men’s Basketball Team (Video)
The Obama administration decided to send First Lady Michelle Obama as the country’s official representative for the Olympic opening ceremonies this past Friday. It made sense, too, given the First Lady’s “Let’s Move” campaign aimed at ending the childhood obesity epidemic—she could stand in for the President (who’s kind of busy campaigning right now) and [...]

Check Out This Footage of the 1992 Dream Team Scrimmaging (Video)
This story is about a basketball scrimmage. Wait, don’t leave. It’s not about just any scrimmage. It’s about a scrimmage between members of the 1992 U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team—the original Dream Team. The one Kobe Bryant thinks the 2012 version could beat with “athleticism.” Apparently, in the final days leading up to the 1992 [...]

Fan Throws Shoes at Kevin Durant…Because He Wanted Durant to Sign Them (Video)
The 2012 Summer Olympics kick off this Friday with the Opening Ceremonies, but the U.S. Olympics men’s basketball team is still fine-tuning their game. Tomorrow they’ll play an exhibition against Spain, yesterday they played an exhibition against Argentina, and last week they played Brazil in D.C. (in front of President Obama) and Great Britain in [...]

Barack And Michelle Obama Were On The Kiss Cam At Last Night’s USA-Brazil Basketball Game (Video)
Whether or not you’re a fan of his politics, you have to admit that Barack Obama is the coolest President the United States of America has ever had. The guy smokes, drinks beer, has a hot wife, sings Al Green at press conferences, and, of course, is a pretty serious baller. That’s why fans at [...]

9 Olympic Flash-In-The-Pans
It’s hard to call any Olympic athlete a “flash in the pan.” First off, they clearly had a lot of success to get to the Olympic games. Secondly, the inability to achieve Olympic success doesn’t necessarily mean that one hasn’t achieved lot of success in other venues. However, there have been plenty of athletes that [...]
