Mario Balotelli has a pet pig

AC Milan star Mario Balotell joined Twitter last week, and unless you are fluent in Italian, you won’t be able to understand a solid portion of his tweets.  That being said, you still get gems like these where he reveals the fact that he has a pet pig.  Having a pet pig seems like a pretty logical thing for Balotelli, especially given his history for theatrics.

Chargers draft pick Keenan Allen caught wearing Raiders hat

San Diego Chargers 3rd round draft pick Keenan Allen has already done something pretty taboo and he hasn’t even been a part of the NFL for very long.  The former California Golden Bears receiver sent out a video on Vine while he was wearing an Oakland Raiders a hat, an inner-division rival of the Chargers.  If this had been pre-draft it wouldn’t have been a big deal, but since...

Insane Trampoline Basketball Trickshot

This shot that was made is completely and utterly ridiculous.  According to the YouTube description, the shot was made from 63 feet away on a 10 foot hoop.  To be able to shoot the ball only holding it between your knees and while doing a front flip is impressive enough, but to make a shot on a basketball hoop from 63 feet away is amazing.

Broken 'Bama BCS Trophy sells for $105K

At the Alabama Crimson Tide Celebrity Golf Tournament on Sunday, the Crimson Tide auctioned off the broken 2011 BCS Championship Crystal Ball Trophy.  Last April, the trophy had been accidentally broken and it was reportedly valued at $30,000.  On Sunday, the trophy was auctioned off for more than three times that much and went for a whopping $105,000.  That’s an obscene amount...

Shawn Marion has a sick new ride

Dallas Mavericks’ Shawn Marion took to the highway with his new ride, a Thoroughbred Stallion Trike.  The base pricing for one of these tricycles in 2011 was $28,315, but something tells me there is nothing basic about Marion’s version. [Reddit]

The 2013 Jaguars’ Cheerleaders in swimsuits

Nothing better than a behind the scenes photo shoot of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Cheerleaders in Vieques Island, Puerto Rico, wouldn’t you say? At least the Jag fans will have one visual reason to attend EverBank field, because Blaine Gabbert is still the Jaguars quarterback. Related: Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders do ‘Call Me Maybe’ parody

Watch Miguel Cabrera’s three home runs against the Rangers

Even though the Detroit Tigers lost to the Texas Rangers, 11-8, Miguel Cabrera put on quite a show at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Cabrera finished 4-4 on the night (one intentional walk) and also hitting three long balls back-to-back-to-back. It’s either Cabrera or Albert Pujols for the best hitter in our era. I’d have to side with Cabby.

Gregory Campbell and Derek Dorsett square off in rare Playoff tilt

With a game two victory in hand, the Boston Bruins were content to just let the clock run out but the New York Rangers wanted to send a message.  Rangers forward Derek Dorsett was a pest all game, and finally found a dance partner in Gregory Campbell.  Campbell is a tough customer but not nearly the same quality fighter that Dorsett is.  I give Campbell credit for dropping the...

Rangers Coach John Tortorella freaks out on referee Dan O’Halloran

New York Rangers coach John Tortorella lost his temper on referee Dan O’Halloran after the second period ended when a punch to captain Ryan Callahan’s head was not called.  You can’t read Tortorella’s lips too well, but you can tell that it is an f-bomb laced tirade and he is clearly not asking O’Halloran to grab a beer with him after the game.

Tottenham’s Gareth Bale thought he deserved a penalty after going down in the penalty box during Sunday’s Premier League battle against Sunderland. Instead of awarding a penalty kick, the ref booked Bale was for diving. Yikes, tough break for the Spurs star.

Roy Hibbert stuffs a Carmello Anthony dunk attempt

Indiana Pacers’ Roy Hibbert came away with the huge block on New York Knicks forward Carmello Anthony during the 4th quarter of Saturday night’s Game 6. Melo appeared to have the clear path to an easy slam after spinning on Paul George. However, the 7’2” Hibbert came over from his help position to stuff Melo, and give the Pacers momentum before the game’s final push, which...

Vitor Belfort’s amazing KO on Luke Rockhold

Vitor Belfort was taking on Luke Rockhold in the UFC on FX 8 on Saturday night when Belfort rocked Rockhold with this kick to the head.  Nothing like taking a heel to the side of the head to KO you from a fight. The scariest part of that kick?  That is Belfort’s 12th career 1st round KO.  Impressive. Official Call: Vitor Belfort def. Luke Rockhold via KO (spinning back kick...

Jonathan Quick robs Andrew Desjardins with sick kick save

With about five minutes to play in the second period of a 1-1 game, Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick showed off why he is one of the best goalies in the NHL.  San Jose Sharks forward Joe Pavelski came out of the corner with the puck and looked like he was going to tuck it short side when he dished off the puck to Andrew Desjardins.  Quick was out of position and looked like...

NHL releases “Playoff Sounds of Round 1″ Video

This is the type of stuff that the NHL does very well.  They took sound bites from the different playoff series from Round 1 of the Playoffs and put together a clean compilation of the best stuff.  Personally, I’d love to hear the uncut version to hear what the players are saying to each other, but you get a great taste of what goes on during the game with this video.

Painful Memorial Cup National Anthem fail

The start to the 2013 Memorial Cup on Saturday was a rocky one.  The US National Anthem prior to the Portland Winterhawks-Halifax Mooseheads game was an unmitigated disaster.  If it weren’t for the fans helping her along, I don’t think she would have ever finished it.  You know you’re doing a horrible job when you can see players starting to laugh at you and you are making...
