The Stanley Cup Finals are getting better ratings in 2013 than they have in years. Sure, you could point to the fact that the teams are from major American cities, or that the quality of play has been stellar, or that the NHL’s TV deal with Comcast/NBC is actually paying off. But maybe something else [...]
It’s a shame the Upton brothers aren’t twins. I hear that twins can communicate with each other telepathically, and if Justin Upton and his big brother B.J. Upton could do that, they may have avoided their little collision in the outfield last night simply by thinking, “hey man, I got this.” The Upton brothers are [...]
Last night’s game between the Heat and Spurs was one of the greatest NBA Finals games we have seen for a long, long time. Miami was down by 13 with a few minutes remaining in the 3rd, they started the 4th down by 10, and then, with just 28 seconds to go, they were down [...]
Whenever we show you a highlight reel catch from a Major League Baseball game, the only obstacle between the player and the ball is usually distance, and perhaps a wall. You rarely see something like a peak or a valley get in the way of a player trying to make a catch on the diamond, [...]
Sometimes I wonder whether we’re being too hard on LeBron James. I really do. I mean, when it comes down to it, he actually seems a lot nicer than Michael Jordan. So why do we give LeBron such a hard time about his character even though we basically gave Jordan a free pass? Then I [...]
While our professional basketball players here in North America are busy flopping around like idiots trying to draw fouls, down in New Zealand, high school rugby players are demonstrating how to play sports like badasses. The clip we have for you here comes from a recent high school rugby game in Wanganui, New Zealand, between [...]
After the Heat’s mad fourth quarter comeback, the Spurs’ response, LeBron James almost fumbling the title away, the clutch game-tying three by Ray Allen, and big defense from Chris Bosh to help seal the Game 6 win for Miami in overtime last night, who even remembers what happened in the first quarter? Oh, right. Miami’s [...]
LeBron James certainly didn’t have his best game of the playoffs last night, as a couple of crucial mistakes by the reigning NBA MVP down the stretch nearly handed the game and the NBA Championship to the San Antonio Spurs. But when it was all said and done, the Miami Heat were able to earn [...]
Well, I guess NBC is going to have to bring in some censors for their coverage of the Stanley Cup Finals, because these hockey player just don’t seem to give a flying f@% what you are and are not allowed to say on live national television. Last year it was Dustin Brown letting loose with [...]
Last year, the big hit song of the summer was “Call Me Maybe” by some singer whose name I’ve already forgotten. And before long, pretty much everyone was doing their own “Call Me Maybe” videos and putting them on YouTube–including the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders. This year I don’t know if we have an official “Song [...]
Did you here the one about Vladimir Putin and how he supposedly stole the Super Bowl XXXIX Championship Ring of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft? Yeah, that was classic—and, also, not a joke. According to Kraft, that’s what really happened. He let Putin put the ring on during a photo op, Putin put it [...]
Have you found yourself wondering recently how Toronto Blue Jays hilarious utility infielder/outfielder Munenori Kawasaki stays limber while riding the pine and waiting for his chance to get in the game? Well, it’s all about the pregame stretching, apparently. And yesterday, Muno took time out of his busy pregame schedule (which I assume mostly involves [...]
The Pittsburgh Pirates do not have an explosive offense. However, they do boast a very good pitching staff and some excellent defense, and that’s got baseball fans in Pittsburgh thinking this might finally be the year that the franchise ends its two decade-long streak of losing seasons. It’s also got to have the Cincinnati Reds [...]
I’m starting to wonder if some big shot at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has a niece or nephew working in the editing department on Hockey Night in Canada or something, because those people are producing some pretty epic intro montages to each game of the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals. I mean, I can understand going [...]
It was on this day in 1979 that George Steinbrenner re-hired Billy Martin to manage the New York Yankees. This was Martin’s second of an incredible five stints as manager of the Yankees. Martin first began managing New York in 1975, when he took over for the fired Bill Virdon, and led the Yankees to [...]
Tahiti is an island nation of just 178,000 inhabitants, and it is obviously known more for its tropical beaches and gorgeous ocean vistas than its ability to field a competitive international soccer team. Oh sure, there is a Tahitian National Team, but there is just one professional player on it. The rest all make livings [...]
Should the Boston Bruins go on to win the Stanley Cup, Gary Bettman and company could have a hard time deciding who to hand the Conn Smythe Trophy to as the playoff MVP. The entire line of David Krejci, Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic could garner plenty of consideration, as they currently sit in first, [...]
If you watch enough basketball, you may be tempted to suggest that no one knows the art of flopping quite as well as LeBron James, but you’d be wrong. You see, James wasn’t born with an inherent ability to flop. Just like Luke Skywalker learned “the force” from Obi-Wan Kenobi, King James also had a [...]
Following a three-run homer in the ninth inning to cap off a 4-3 walk-off victory over the Chicago Cubs, the New York Mets improved their record to 25-39 on the season. That still leaves them 13.5 games back of the Atlanta Braves for top spot in the NL East, and an identical 13.5 games back [...]
In baseball, when we talk about amazing pitching performances, we usually end up just talking about no-hitters and perfect games. However, not all no-hitters and perfect games are created equal. In fact, just last year we did a whole list of the worst no-hitters of all-time. So wouldn’t it be nice if there were some [...]
