LeBron James hits game-winning shot after controversial foul call

LeBron James went untouched for the game winning layup as time expired during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. LeBron and the Heat were put into the position after refs probably incorrectly gave Pacers’ Paul George three free throws with a little under three seconds left in overtime.

Daniel Alfredsson loses skate blade, hops on one leg to bench

Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson was forechecking in the Pittsburgh Penguins zone when he collided with defenseman Mark Eaton and his foot slammed into the boards.  The force caused the steel of his skate to pop out and resulted in some comical video of Alfredsson falling on the ice and then hopping to the bench.  Alfredsson had no clue the steel had popped out of his...

Chris Phillips makes clutch diving toe save on Sidney Crosby

In the first period the Pittsburgh Penguins were on the power play when Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson was caught out of position.  Lucky for him, his defenseman Chris Phillips was there to bail him out and made an awesome diving toe save on Sidney Crosby to keep their one goal lead.  Plays like these are what the Senators needs if they’re going to find a way to upset...

Gio Gonzalez wearing Nationals’ Pitching Coach Steve McCatty’s Playgirl Photo

  Washington Nationals pitching coach Steve McCatty was in a 1984 issue of Playgirl.  Naturally once word of that got around the clubhouse, Dan Haren had t-shirts with the photo made for his teammates to wear.  In an interview Wednesday, pitcher Gio Gonzalez wore the t-shirt, giving the photo more publicity than McCatty probably wanted and creating a hilarious photo.

Miguel Cabrera ignores tattooed chick begging for foul ball, gives it to hotter girl

Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera is the best hitter on the planet, and quite possibly the best hitter of our generation.  When he’s not hitting home runs, it appears he is scoping out the attractive girls in the stands.  On Tuesday night during the Tigers game against the Cleveland Indians he got ready to toss a foul ball to a fan in the stands.  A tattooed girl was...

LA Kings Tweet out sexual assault joke, issue apology

Kevin Ryder of the Kevin and Bean Morning Zoo show on LA’s KROQ took over the Los Angeles Kings Twitter Account during their game against the San Jose Sharks last night.  It turned out to be a really bad decision on the Kings part as Ryder made an off-color joke about sexual assault to describe a penalty.  The Kings quickly issued an apology and I think they will be more careful...

Quincy Pondexter posterizing dunk on Boris Diaw of the Spurs

It’s a battle between two fundamental teams, two half-court offenses, not a lot of expected highlight reel plays. However, in Tuesday night’s Western Conference Game 2, Memphis Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter went flying for the huge slam over San Antonio Spurs’ Boris Diaw during the fourth quarter. Even though Pondexter’s baseline slam helped the Grizzlies rally and force...

Ice version of air hockey table created

Unfortunately the Reddit user that posted this photo didn’t provide many details about the table, but that doesn’t make this Ice version of an Air Hockey Table any less impressive.  The detail on the rink is amazing and the only flaws are the lack of a red line and the crease is an International style crease.  Playing on this table would be an awesome experience, but some questions...

Chicago Cubs fan dumps beer on her husband after accidental spill

At the Chicago Cubs-New York Mets game on Sunday, Cubs’ Travis Wood hit a home run that this fan tried to jump for.  When he jumped up to catch the ball, he spilled some of his beer on his wife, and she didn’t take too kindly to the spill.  She was so upset that she dumped her beer onto him, which seemed like the logical thing to do after an accidental spill.  To add insult...

ESPN College Baseball Broadcast Epic Logo Fail

On Monday, during an ESPN College Baseball broadcast previewing the ACC baseball tournament, ESPN had a seriously epic fail when it came to team logos.  This is completely inexcusable on ESPNs part, only getting one name and logo combination correct out of four is brutal.  They didn’t even have four ACC logos on there.

Lingerie Football League Coach goes ballistic

I’m not sure why Chicago Bliss Head Coach Keith Hac takes his job so seriously, but he went completely ballistic in a recent game that he was mic’d up for.  The best part of the video?  When he gets corrected by one of his players and then she drops a snarky remark of “let’s go know your plays,” which sent this nut ball over the deep end.  Lighten up guy, it’s the...
