This remix of Pete Weber’s epic celebration is beyond exemplary (video)
And here I thought there was no way Pete Weber’s celebratory meltdown/stroke/seizure display after he won the U.S. Open bowling title could never be improved upon. Thank goodness I was wrong. Courtesy of dubnasty.com (by way of Terez Owens) comes this delightful remix of Weber’s over-the-top theatrics and let me tell you, it’s a trip, [...]
Kate Upton must have been eating Sour Patch Kids at T’Wolves-Clippers game (pics)
I’m quite certain most of you are aware of this revelatory bit of news already, but in case you have been living under a rock or do not take much interest in borderline-erotic, hyper-sexualized Hardee’s commercials, but this Kate Upton gal, in case you haven’t noticed, well, she’s pretty popular right about now. That certifiable [...]
Blustery wind conditions contribute to soccer goalie’s uncanny own goal (video)
“Need a little wind here.” An Israeli goalkeeper during a match between Maccabi Haifa and Dynamo Kiev clearly did not adequately take into account the gale-force winds he was kicking into, as evidenced by the unbelievable own goal he scored on himself during a friendly. The kicked ball rose high up into the air, only [...]

Gossip: Tim Tebow and Taylor Swift spotted on a dinner date in L.A.
While not as “interesting” as rumored potential paramours Katy Perry and Jenny McCarthy and certainly blows the patently absurd news that Kim Kardashian had reportedly set her sights on him, the rumor mill is spinning at full tilt with the gossip that Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow and pop-country songstress Taylor Swift were seen on [...]

WAG News: Los Angeles Kings star Dustin Penner’s actress wife files for divorce
Jessica Welch, the “actress” wife of Los Angeles Kings winger Dustin Penner, has filed for divorce in L.A. County Superior Court according to TMZ, citing the oft-used “irreconcilable differences.” I placed the term “actress” in quotes relating to Welch’s career of choice because a quick perusal of her IMDb page indicates things have been pretty [...]
Somebody made a Timberwolves-’Family Matters’ intro mashup (video)
Nope, I don’t know what the heck is going on here, either. Technically, it’s not so much the Family Matters intro blended with Minnesota Timberwolves players as stars as it is video and photos of T-Wolves players with the Family Matters theme song, “As Days Go By” playing in the background and a quick shot [...]
Riding the rail: Snooker player’s lucky shot keeps him in match (video)
Yeah, I’d like to see this guy make that shot again. Thai snooker player Thanawat Thirapongpaiboon was the beneficiary of a fortuitous roll of the ball during a match at the Haikou World Open match against England’s Robert Milkins. With a pretty easy shot in front of him, Thirapongpaiboon tried to bury the lone ball [...]
NHL coaches are now missing games due to concussion-like symptoms (video)
One doesn’t have to look too extensively at injury reports for NHL teams to take note of the troubling amount of players once on active rosters who are currently unable to play due to concussion-like symptoms, Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby of course being the most prevalent and noteworthy of those sitting out. Sadly, the [...]
CHICKS DIG THE LONG BALL
Video: PF's buzzer beater wins state title
With 5.9 seconds left on the clock and her team down 53-52, Florida A&M University (Fla.) High power forward Lekaris Salter inbounded the ball to a teammate, took the return pass and niftily rumbled, bumbled and stumbled her way through defenders across center court. From there, she dribbled down to the three-point arc and heaved [...]
Rob Gronkowski discusses post-Super Bowl dance video: ‘Life just moved on’
When the video of New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski whooping it up at a post-Super Bowl party — one hosted by team owner Robert Kraft, nonetheless — fans and media alike tore into the guy, viciously ripping him for the perceived nonchalance he demonstrated with his dance floor antics so soon after a [...]
Pair of underwear Jeremy Lin (allegedly) wore in college for sale on eBay for $1,000
Sigh. Let’s cut to the chase and highlight the considerable salesmanship abilities exhibited by the purveyor of the underwear in question in the item’s eBay listing (via BuzzFeed): My brothers friend went to Harvard and was in the same dorm, got his boxers from the dryer on accident. Got them from him for $100 because [...]
Truck Day clubhouse tour video revealed Jason Varitek’s impending retirement
Longtime Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Veritek is expected to announce his retirement on Thursday, but it appears that the organization knew about the impending announcement long before anyone else did. How so? Video of a New York family’s tour of the Red Sox clubhouse on Truck Day (the annual event in early February [...]
Uncoordinated, young soccer fan pokes self in the eye whilst celebrating (video)
Derp. This wee Liverpool fan — quite the cheeky monkey, by the way — clearly caught up in the moment during the Liverpool-Cardiff match of the League Cup, inadvertently poked himself in the eye as he cheered on his favorite squad. The boy, undeterred by his thumb jabbing straight into the vicinity of his ocular [...]
Wes Welker tweets that he just finished shooting a commercial for Depend (whaa?)
Working under the assumption that this is real, legitimate tweet from the New England Patriots wide receiver and not the outcome of some wisenheimer hacking Wes Welker’s Twitter account, or, even worse, an inappropriate joke offered up by Welker, that has to be one of the oddest tweets I have ever read. But hey, it’s [...]
WORLDS COLLIDE
Don Zimmer meets the Zim Bear
It was only two days ago, but it seems like much longer than that, given the inordinate amount of disturbing dreams I’ve been having ever since I first gazed upon the frightening image of Zim Bear, the terrifying combination of Tampa Bay Rays senior adviser Don Zimmer and a teddy bear which will be given [...]
This won’t end well: Ben & Jerry’s ‘Taste the Lin-Sanity’ contains fortune cookies
Holly Cherry Garcia, Batman! Featuring fortune cookies, Lychee honey (which Deadspin astutely points out comes from a fruit grown in Southeast Asia, not from where Lin comes from, California) and vanilla yogurt, the newest Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor will surely get people talking about the company, albeit perhaps not in the way they [...]
Nothing to see, just Buck Showalter signing baseballs for some Amish guys (pic)
Wow, these guys maintain their religious sect”s time-honored tradition of eschewing the conveniences of modernity AND are Baltimore Orioles fans? Talk about roughing it. I can’t confirm this, but sources tell me that after the task of autographing the baseballs was completed, Baltimore Orioles skipper Buck Showalter helped these Amish men raise a barn on [...]
Finally, a Jeremy Lin Photostitch Machine Embroidery Design craft kit! (pic)
And the ladies in my weekly sewing club said the day would never come. But I held firm, as I knew in my heart that one day, an enterprising individual would come forward and create a Jeremy Lin Photostitch Design kit and make it available for sale on Etsy.com, which Wikipedia informs me “is an [...]
MAD SKILLS
Video: Ricky Rubio sets record with shots
The best part? The record Minnesota Timberwolves rookie point guard phenom broke in Orlando during early All-Star Weekend festivities — according to the NBA, it was “Guinness World Record” but I cannot confirm that (mainly because I’m lazy) — was that the previous record stood for about an hour, as Evan Turner of the Philadelphia [...]
Beautiful girl takes the ice during intermission of Blackhawks game (video)
For a precious few seconds during an otherwise innocuous, run-of-the-mill highlight video detailing the high points of the Chicago Blackhawks-Dallas Stars game on Thursday night, the highlights from the game are broken up with a different kind of highlight: the image of an extremely attractive young woman participating in a “Shoot-the-Puck” contest during a game [...]
Breaking: Darren Rovell reports that Ryan Braun earns a lot more than teachers
(head asplodes) Talk about blowing the door wide open on a story. Ooh, tell me more, Wise Sage of the Calculator, Dark Lord of the Division Button and All-Knowing Overseer of the Twittersphere. With a tip of the cap and a deferential bow to the Artful Articulator of Arithmetic, I cannot wait to bust out [...]
Sights that can’t be unseen: OKC Thunder fan’s shirtless, jiggly jig (animated gif)
Oh my. And if you thought your appetite was ruined by the still of this obviously enthusiastic Oklahoma City Thunder fan who takes no issue with maintaining his modesty when it’s time to support the team, just wait until you see him grossly groove in animated GIF glory. Continue on. If you dare. See? Told [...]
From prime time to online: ESPN3 to cover Terrell Owens’ IFL debut
