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.
Sadly, the throw didn't count, because the referee had already blown the whistle, but that doesn't make it any less impressive, especially when you consider t...
March Madness—also known as the ‘Big Dance’ to college hoops fanatics—kicked off yesterday, but today, our top story in the world of sports comes from the tournament’s storied past. The time is 1992, and the two teams in question are Duke and Kentucky. The moment? The most famous buzzer beater in NCAA history.
With only 2.1 seconds remaining i...
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...
Here’s something Conan O’Brien never did when he was the host of “Late Night”: dedicate an entire segment to the lowest ranked NCAA team in the March Madness tournament. Last night, his successor Jimmy Fallon did just that, airing a two-minute video clip honoring the 16th seeded University of Tennessee Chattanooga Mocs.
Despite being a late-ni...
Every athlete has a pregame routine that’s designed to help them get mentally prepared for an upcoming game. For some, it’s as simple as touching home base before heading onto the field. For others, it’s as complex as choreographing a mock photo shoot with your teammates.
LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates fall into the latter ...
Back in the late 80s/early 90s, “Iron” Mike Tyson was a heavyweight boxer who was both feared and revered. Then, Don King came into the picture and changed everything with a slew of calculated decisions and arranged matches that led to Tyson’s cataclysmic fall from grace.
Few would argue that Tyson’s woes—if you understand him to a be nothing ...
To understand the absurdity of this shot, I turn to Google for the official definition of the word ‘goalie’:
Goalkeeper, goalie, goaltender, netkeeper – noun, the defensive position on an ice hockey or soccer or lacrosse team who stands in front of the goal and tries to prevent opposing players from scoring.
As you can see from this succinct, ...
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. However, just because he’s often heard conversing in Spanish to coworkers and friends alike doesn’t mean that he doesn’t understand our language fluently.
Apparently, not everyone i...
Not sure how many Big East fans we have here, but as a graduate of Syracuse University I feel like I am required to follow the conference. Not like Big Ten basketball scores in the low 50's are really making me regret my decision, but anyway...
This year, the Big East tournament will be including all 16 teams. I'm sorry, but this is just pla...
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.
Over the weekend, New Orleans Hornets star Chris Paul prove...
I tried this out last week, and it seemed to get a good response. So, again, i present a smattering of NBA news and notes, funny (and/or embarrassing) videos and commentary from the Association in condensed form. Enjoy.
Our first blip comes from the Birdman, Chris Andersen. The former Slam Dunk contest participant and former drug addict Ch...
The No. 2 ranked cornerback in the United States, Janzen Jackson, has dealt a blow to LSU recruiting roster for '09 by picking Tennessee as his school of choice for this upcoming football season.
Previously he had committed to LSU about a year ago, but then changed his mind and signed with Tennessee this morning:
"It was a very tough decisi...
Sure the title of this video doesn't sound like the most exciting thing in the world, but stop and think about it for a second. Jarron Gilbert jumps OUT of a pool? Wait a minute. Have you have been in a pool? Yeah, no imagine jumping out of the shallow end (3.5 feet of water). Most likely you'd crack your chin open.
But Jarron Gilberty? Nope, ...
A few days ago, I found myself at my local Blockbuster when I decided, foolishly, that I wanted to try the new MLB 2K game.
I say foolishly for two reasons. First, do you have any idea how much games at Blockbuster cost nowadays? Maybe I'm just that removed from the video game scene that I'm simply unaware that fair market value is around ...
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...
It’s the endless debate in college football: To playoff or not to playoff? And if to playoff, how to playoff? Still with me? Good, because another entity has thrown its opinion into the ring and that’s the Mountain West Conference. I’ll pardon your look of bewilderment, but yes there is a Mountain West Conference.
USA Today reports that the of...
I know the baseball season is a ways away, with the first game not until April 6th. Still though, Spring Training and the World Baseball Classic (ugh) are going on and those are usually eternal resting places for optimism for major league clubs across the country.
As they say, everyone's in first place in March.
Every year you hear some idi...
According to Wikipedia, Richard “Digger” Phelps, an ESPN college sports analyst, is pushing 67 years old. Based on this video, however, it’s clear that he has the spirit of a vibrant 19-year-old hip-hop artist trapped within his body.
For the uninitiated, the “Stanky Legg” is a dance popular dance routine in the Dirty South in which an individ...
Meet Madine Mohammed, France's next Zinedine Zidane. He's being scouted by club teams left and right, who are keeping and eye on his every move as he works his way through the ranks of youth soccer. They have high hopes for him and presume he's going to be the next worldwide soccer great.
Oh, by the way, he's six.
Check out his YouTube highl...
I promised, and so I deliver.
I must admit, I've thought about who would make my All-NBA Ugly squad. I've seen some guys either on TV or in person at arenas and thought (after shrieking in horror) that player X would be a perfect fit on the team.
Now that I have my own forum here, I present to you, the Ugliest Starting Five in the NBA, and ...
