Play of the Day: The No-Look, Off-The-Face Goal

Play of the Day: The No-Look, Off-The-Face Goal

You know, remaining scoreless at the end of a game is pretty embarrassing. But, there is something far, far more humiliating: living with the knowledge that one of your own players scored a goal for the opposing team by kicking the ball off his teammate’s face.

Play of the Day: Dwayne Wade Sinks Shot From Opposite Free-Throw Line

Over the weekend, Miami Heats star Dwayne Wade nailed a Hail Mary shot from 3/4 down the court, proving once and for all that he's either superhuman or, at the very least, demigod-like.

Play of the Day: Wyoming's Adam Waddell Performs a Post-Dunk Flip

The key to an amazing basketball dunk is style. Scoring the basket always comes secondary to the lead up—that is, the moves one performs before actually putting the ball in the hoop—prior to reaching the rim. Do you attempt a classic 360 spin? A Jordan tomahawk slam? Or, do you go for laughs with the windmill? It’s all up to you, but remember: f...

Play of the Day: Female Fan Angrily Commands NY Mets Shortstop Jose Reyes To Speak In English, Hilarity Ensues

It’s no secret that Jose Reyes, shortstop for the New York Mets, was born in the Dominican Republic. Naturally, this means that his native language is not English.

Play of the Day: Chris Paul Dribbles Between Jason Terry's Legs On a Fast Drive

Nothing screams paper-thin defense like having an opponent dribbling the ball between your legs on a fast drive. I mean, when an opposing player treats you like a fleshy bump in the road that’s easily circumvented with minimal effort, you know your defensive skills are sorely lacking.

Play of the Day: A Quick-Thinking Ball Boy Sets Up a Perfect Soccer Goal

Naturally, I have no idea what teams are playing or what the commentators are saying in this video, but I think the actions of the quick-acting ball boy speak for themselves.

 

In case you simple cannot follow the foreign concept known as soccer, here’s what happens: the ball goes out of play with Team A’s goalie running out after it. As soon as...
