Jordan Cobabe, high school baseball pitcher in Utah, made a catch during a recent game that didn’t just help his team win, but might have even saved his life. The line drive in question might have obliterated Cobabe’s face if he hadn’t reacted as swiftly as he did, with less than a second to do [...]
We all know NHL players are tough, but during the Stanley Cup Playoffs they’re just ridiculous. They can lose a tooth, break a foot, or take a gash to the forehead, and chances are they’ll just miss a few shifts and get back onto the ice. So why do I bring this up? Well, I [...]
The vast majority of NFL analysts simply do not thing that Tim Tebow has the tools to be a successful NFL quarterback. And of course, for fans in most NFL cities the guy is just a circus sideshow. In Denver, the NFL’s only living saint had his fans, but also plenty of doubting Thomases. And [...]
The Toronto Maple Leafs recently suffered a devastating overtime loss against the Boston Bruins, and witnessing it all from the stands were Leafs goalie James Reimer’s wife April Reimer and former 24 star Elisha Cuthbert, future wife of the Leafs’ Dion Phaneuf. Their reaction to the moment of the Leafs’ defeat was captured and [...]
Any time an athlete does something that gets 5,000 people to throw $125,000 worth of hats on the ice, it’s pretty special. When you get them to do it during the playoffs? Well, that’s even better. Of course, in the case of the Boston Bruins’ David Krejci, these hats were figurative and not literal. The [...]
This year, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ most heated on-field rivals might just be the San Diego Padres, given the way the Padres’ Carlos Quentin broke Zack Greinke’s collarbone and all. However, for Dodgers fans, there’s no question that the San Francisco Giants are still enemy number one. And despite that tragic beating outside Dodger Stadium [...]
New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey has made just 17 starts in his major league career—10 last season, and seven so far in 2013. However, the hype around this 24-year-old is already reaching Doc Gooden proportions, and now, thanks to a bloody nose, he might already be turning into a legend. Last night the [...]
In case you were wondering, the working title for this piece was much simpler. It was called “9 Lies.” But we went with a less direct title. The Heat are looking pretty strong, Monday’s anomaly aside. But seeing as how they’re a widely reviled, heavily favored team, we owe it to ourselves to put on [...]
The gym really ought to be a great place for a guy to pick up chicks. However, you can’t take the same approach with women at the gym that you would at a bar or even the grocery store. At a bar you can just walk up to a woman and say, “hey,” and at [...]
Is it just me, or are NHL teams taking playoff gamesmanship to a whole new level these days? Last year, during the Stanley Cup Finals between the Kings and Devils, adult film star Taylor Stevens and her rather impressive rack somehow ended up right behind Devils coach Peter DeBoer. Of course, some may say that [...]
Most observers would tell you that the Toronto Blue Jays need a good slap on the side of the head to wake them up after a putrid start to a season in which they were supposed to be a shoe-in for the playoffs. That, however, is just a metaphor. What happened to starting pitcher J.A. [...]
New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey has been having himself quite the season in 2013. He kicked things off by pitching seven innings of one-hit ball during his first start of the year, and he followed that up by winning each of his next three starts in a rather dominating fashion. Heading into Tuesday’s contest [...]
There are certain individuals that you’d always like to have on your side, both in sports, and in life. Matt Kemp is one of them. The Los Angeles Dodgers’ outfielder showed why he is a great guy to have on your team in sports when he stood up for teammate Zack Greinke during a bench-clearing [...]
There were plenty of remarkably pleasing sights to take in during Game Four of the first -round playoff series between the Detroit Red Wings and the Anaheim Ducks last night (unless, of course, you are a Ducks fan). There were several key, highlight reel saves made by goaltender Jimmy Howard. Here’s a look at one [...]
Last weekend’s 139th running of the Kentucky Derby brought out a fair amount of celebrities, and there was no shortage of well-known athletes among them. Coaches and players, college players and professional retirees: Everybody wanted to be in on the action. And why not? If they let Jason Biggs strut around the red carpet like [...]
In America, an example of good sportsmanship in the game of soccer would be helping your opponent get back to his feet after knocking him to the ground, while an example of bad sportsmanship would be kicking the ball at him while he’s on the ground. I’m assuming that’s the case in pretty much every [...]
It appears as though Marco Belinelli‘s big cojones have earned him a rather big fine, as the Bulls’ guard will be forced to fork over $15,000 to the league for his obscene gesture during Game 7 of his team’s first round series against the Brooklyn Nets. With just under five minutes remaining in that game, [...]
According to a survey conducted by UNICEF on child well-being in rich countries, “Canada’s young people have the highest rate of cannabis use” among “developed countries,” at 28%. And falling within that 28% of young Canadian pot smokers is this Toronto Maple Leafs fan, who was caught by CBC’s camera taking a puff from a [...]
It was on this day in 1994 that the No. 8 seeded Denver Nuggets upset the top ranked Seattle SuperSonics in the first round of the NBA playoffs. It was the first time that a No. 1 seed fell to a No. 8 seed since the first round of the NBA playoffs went to a [...]
With just four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, it appeared as though the Golden State Warriors were in complete control of Game One of their Western Conference Semifinal series against the San Antonio Spurs. They were leading by a score of 104-88 at the time, and Stephen Curry was on fire. But the Spurs [...]
