BIG BLAST
Trumbo crushes 475-foot home run
The Angels' Mark Trumbo has tremendous power, and the 27-year-old put that talent on display in Oakland on Monday night in an AL West divisional battle against the A's.

Here's the Chris Paul buzzer-beater that gave the Clippers a 2-0 series lead over the Grizzlies

Report: Texas A&M LT Luke Joeckel "will be" the Chiefs' pick at No. 1
The 2013 NFL Draft begins a week from now, on Thursday April 25th (first round only).
The Kansas City Chiefs hold the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, and the assumption for months has been that they'd take a left tackle with the selection. And for a while, it seemed to be a near lock that Texas A&M left tackle Luke Joeckel would be the pick, but Central Michigan left...

Here's a game-winning lacrosse goal at the buzzer
I don't remember the last time we had a lacrosse post on here, so it's about time we gave the Lax brahs their due.
Check out this buzzer-beating goal from Wesleyan Men's Quentin DellaFera with 0.1 seconds left to knock off Colby:
Wesleyan was down four goals to Colby late in the game, and certainly concluded the comeback in pretty fantastic fashion.

Rays 3rd baseman Evan Longoria is already making insane defensive plays
The Rays and Orioles are currently opening up their seasons at Tropicana Field, and Rays star third baseman Evan Longoria is already making absolutely absurd plays at third base.
After making a terrific play defensively in the top of the fifth, Longoria ended the inning with what is definitely the top web gem we've seen so far in the first two days of the MLB season.

Yankees fans stick around Yankee Stadium for 9th inning to support team on Opening Day

There is now a beer pong arcade machine, the "Beer Pong Master"
Yep, Pop-a-Shot style beer pong is apparently a thing now. And no, there is no beer drinking involved in the game, so you're just paying to toss a ping pong ball into a bunch of red cups.
The arcade game is called "Beer Pong Master", and it was recently shown off at the Nightlife and Bar Convention in Las Vegas.

VIDEO: Kings guard Tyreke Evans pulled off an incredible 360 layup vs the Suns
While 99% of basketball fans were watching the NCAA Tournament on Thursday night, the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns met for a game that was only watchable if, like me, you're a fan of Bill Walton and his commentary (he served as the Kings' color commentator for this game).
But, there was an awesome play in the game at least. Watch Kings guard Tyreke Evans make an insane...

UNC fan sad during loss to Kansas
No. 8 seed North Carolina had a 30-21 lead on No. 1 seed Kansas in the first half of Sunday's NCAA Tournament action in Kansas City... and then it all fell apart in the second half.
