Lately it seems like every time you log onto the internet, there is another "amazing" sports video that has made its way into the e-mail inbox or is being discussed on a message board. First we had the Kobe Bryant "car jump" video, then Kobe jumped from the equivalent of the three point line (a'   more...

Yadier Molina is on a mission to destroy the New York Mets.First, it was 2006. Now, he's hitting line drives off of the players.
