Giants fan salsa dances at UMass riot; gets sucker-punched
This season, Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz introduced us to the best touchdown dance of the decade - the salsa. Lucky for us, we saw his salsa ten times, including once in the Super Bowl.

Tigers ace Justin Verlander was the posterboy for the 2011 season after taking home the American League Most Valuable Player and Cy Young awards. Those accolades landed him on the cover of the MLB 2k12 video game cover.

Wes Welker given 900 lbs of Butterfingers in Boston
In honor of Wes Welker's not-so-sure hands in Super Bowl XLVI, the city of Boston received a 900 pound gift in his honor. Pawngo, an online pawn shop, delivered 8,000 Nestle Butterfingers to the center of Copley Square in Boston with a sign "Thank you Wes Welker."
There is no word whether Tom Brady's wife Gisele Bundchen had anything to do with the stunt after...
Highlights of Tallest HS Player in the World - 7'5" Mamadou Ndiaye
Seven foot five inch high school center Mamadou Ndiaye should be known as the "Human Double Take" because that's the obvious natural reaction when seeing or hearing about him. The seventeen year old junior has been dominating the (lack of) competition for Huntington Beach, California's Brethren Christian School. As you can see in the video, Ndiaye is as automatic...
WHL's Cody Beach slaps Tyler Yaworski after fight
The Western Hockey League is an NHL feeder and home to some tough hockey. Cody Beach, a 2010 fifth round draft pick of the St. Louis Blues, dropped the gloves twice during the Moose Jaw Warriors tilt with the Prince Albert Raiders.
In this bout, he got the better of Prince Albert's Tyler Yaworski in an extremely one-sided battle. Beach was the aggressor at the beginning...
Big Mac breaks Olli Jokinen's goalless streak
When Calgary Flames center Olli Jokinen had gone 15 games without a goal, he knew he had to change up something. So the former Phoenix Coyote recollected on some advice that was passed on to him by the Great One, Wayne Gretzky. He went out for a Big Mac meal.
"In Phoenix, I think I went 10, 11 games without a goal and he pulled me into a meeting and said ‘Hey, you take...
Bubba Watson and Ben Crane rap Waste Management Open
Wasted, but not lost during Super Bowl weekend was a gutsy performance during the Waste Management Phoenix Open. I'll be completely honest in that I had to look up who won (Kyle Stanley). And with no disrespect to Kyle, fine, maybe with plenty of disrespect to Kyle, his rally to overcome an eight-stroke deficit wasn't the highlight.
Golfers Ben Crane (sporting a helmet...
Maria Menounos pays on bet; wears Giants bikini
Maria Menounos is a woman of her word. And we are awfully thankful for it. Prior to Super Bowl XLVI, Menounos placed a bet with co-worker A.J. Calloway. If the Patriots won, Calloway would have to sport a Patriots cheerleading outfit on the air. If the Giants won, Menounos (a Bedford, Mass native) would wear a Giants bikini in Times Square.
Needless to say, Maria made a...
Super Bowl XLVI in 90 seconds
Just in case you missed the Super Bowl or want to see the Patriots get beaten again, we have it for you. But this time around, it won't take almost four hours and you'll barely see any of Grandma Madonna's halftime show.
Australian weightlifter considering playing football at Michigan State
Like many of us, Gawain Johnstone started to become accustomed to the NFL by playing Madden video games. But unlike many of us, Johnstone bench presses 530 pounds and squats 850 pounds (see video below).
A 26 year old weightlifter in Australia, Johnstone has recently committed himself to a move to the United States to pursue a college education and a roster spot on a college...
Super Bowl safety nets gambler $50,000 on prop bet
The intentional grounding penalty charged to Tom Brady in the first quarter of Super Bowl XLVI played a critical role in more ways than one. It gave the Giants a 2-0 lead because it occurred in the endzone. It gave people with abnormal-football-score-numbers a chance in their squares games. And it netted one gambler $50,000.
Benjamin Lyons bet $1,000 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas...
$20 Super Bowl Popcorn?!
I like popcorn as much as the next guy, but $20 seems a bit steep. That is, unless the popcorn will shine my shoes and give me a shoulder rub. If that's the case, I'll take two.
120 foot goal in the KHL
Barys Astana goalie Jeff Glass of the Russian Kontinental Hockey League could have a myriad of excuses as to why this 120 foot shot got passed him. His contact lens fell out. The puck hit a chip in the ice. The sun was in his eyes. Too bad for him, none of them are legit. Denis Kulyash of Ak Bars owns the second hardest slap shot ever recorded - 110 miles per hour. He didn'...

Video: Love steps on Scola's face
In a move that would make Ndamukong Suh proud, the T'Wolves all-star appears to have stepped on Luis Scola's face while he lay on the floor.

Video: Orpik check sends Paille into orbit
On Saturday, Boston Bruins forward Daniel Paille experienced what it feels like to be on the moon. After a center ice hit from Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik, Paille flew a good ten feet (25 according to the announcer) and forgot to pull his ripcord. Time and the law of gravity appeared to stop for a second as Paille seemed to hover over the ice.The hit was clean and...
Super Bowl QB WAG Battle: Gisele Bundchen vs. Abby McGrew
On Sunday, the husbands, Tom Brady and Eli Manning, will be doing battle on the Lucas Oil Stadium field in something called the Super Bowl. Somewhere inside Lucas Oil, Brady's wife Gisele Bundchen and Manning's belle Abby McGrew will be watching intently (maybe). Instead of a Madonna halftime show, we put in a late request for a Bundchen-Manning mud wrestling match at midfield...
THE TOOTH CRACKER
Butler's Nored cracks tooth, returns
Butler senior guard Ronald Nored isn't having a fun little Saturday. Just minutes into Butler's game against the University of Detroit Mercy, he did a face plant into the Hinkle Fieldhouse floor. The floor got the best of him.
And the result...not for the squeamish...
Midnight Lights at Century Link Field
Century Link Field is the home of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. A YouTuber named Jimmy Diebold put together a little light show incorporating, you guessed it, the lights from Century Link Field. And who doesn't like a light show?
I'm not really sure why or how one would put this little diddy together, but for some reason I'm fascinated by it. Then again, I...
The Wonderful Women of Gronk
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is a man's man. He's 22 years old, six feet, six inches tall, 265 pounds of goofy muscle. He goes by Gronk and has been the most popular subject of garage bands' recent cover songs. We receive twice-daily updates on the status of his ankle. He's become such a phenomenon that he can make passes at Maria Menounos in...

After he crossed the blue line, Wahlstrom dragged the puck through his legs and lifted it onto the blade of his stick. He...
