Son of Horse Trainer Doug O’Neill Was a Total Gangsta at the 2013 Kentucky Derby (GIF)
Last year, the horse trained by Doug O’Neill won the Kentucky Derby.

This story is going to sound like some ridiculous scenario out of Caddy Shack, but I assure you it is 100% real. I know, because I read it on the internet.

21 Sports Plays with Bizarre Names
If you’re an avid fan of a particular sport, all the terminology and lingo sounds totally natural to you.

18 Sports GIFs Featuring People Doing Weird Things with Their Tongues
I was browsing around the web the other day when I stumbled upon a hilarious GIF of a certain famous, widely despised MVP basketball player (okay, it’s LeBron) doing something very weird with his tongue.

25 Yoga GIFs
Yoga is a truly wonderful thing. Not only is it good for your body and soul (so I’m told), but it’s also given us one of the greatest inventions in the history of capitalism: sexy skintight pants that cost $100 that women actually buy. Of course, you can look pretty silly while doing yoga—especially if [...]

Watch Some Dude Do One-Armed Push-Ups While Solving A Rubik’s Cube In Just 25 Seconds (Video)
Usually if we show you a clip of some really fit person performing an impressive physical feat, it just makes you feel lazy and untalented.

22 Goofy Sports Faces (GIFs)
There are 43 distinct muscles in the human face. Thus, any time you exert yourself, any time you are emotionally invested in something, or any time something completely unexpected happens, your face tells the story.

13 Athletes With Weird Eating Habits
We have this romantic notion (usually propagated by Gatorade commercials) that the bodies of professional athletes are high-performance machines that require meticulous maintenance and high performance fuels to achieve peak performance.

22 Weird (And Funny) Baseball GIFs
I love baseball, but I’ll be the first to admit that, when you think about it, it’s a pretty weird game. For starters, there’s no clock, so the game moves about as fast as the pitcher and manager want it to. Which can be pretty slow. And, unlike most pro sports, but very much like [...]

Huh. After researching this piece, it would seem that 2011 wasn’t THAT weird a year for sports. Sure, there were a handful of really bizarre small stories, and a few somewhat bizarre big ones (Tebow, Paterno), but it seems as though athletes were on fairly decent behavior this year.

Brock Lesnar’s Duck Hunt (Video)
Remember the hilariously weird video of Brock Lesnar shooting prairie dogs? Someone went ahead and made it even weirder in this “Duck Hunt” mashup. Brock is a pretty weird dude, and nothing is more cringe-worthy than millionaires bragging about being rednecks. He’s also apparently really into shooting things, like watermelon. Seriously, how did this dude [...]
