Last year, the horse trained by Doug O’Neill won the Kentucky Derby. That horse, of course, was I’ll Have Another, and he then went on to win the Preakness before pulling out of the Belmont at the last minute. Unfortunately, his success didn’t turn O’Neill into a rock star in the world of horse racing. [...]
The San Francisco Giants’ AT&T Park is famous for a number of reasons. Its picturesque setting and rabid fan base make it one of the best ballparks to take in a game. It’s the place where Barry Bonds made his historic steroid-fueled assault on baseball’s home run record. It’s the place where fans chiseled a [...]
I don’t know about you, but when Ruben Guerrero, father of boxer Roberto Guerrero, called Floyd Mayweather a “woman beater” last week at a press conference, I didn’t really have a problem with it. I mean, Mayweather is a woman beater. He’s been arrested three times for domestic battery and, if he were not one [...]
It was on this day in 1997 that Hartford Whalers owner Peter Karmanos officially announced that the team would be relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina, and be known as the Carolina Hurricanes. Karmanos was frustrated with the team’s poor attendance figures as well as a lack of corporate support, which prompted the move to North [...]
You generally don’t see as many hockey fights during the playoffs as you do in the regular season. The reason is that, during the playoffs, every single minute is crucial, and every single player is needed. If a guy isn’t deemed absolutely crucial to his team, then he isn’t in the lineup. So teams just [...]
While most of us will probably remember Game 3 of the first round playoff series between the Ottawa Senators and the Montreal Canadiens for the ridiculous number of penalties that were handed out in the third period, Jean-Gabriel Pageau will always remember it as the game when he scored his first career NHL playoff goal and his [...]
This Saturday is the first Saturday in May, so you know what that means: it’s time for the 139th running of the one and only Kentucky Derby. The most famous horse race in America has long been billed as “the most exciting two minutes in sports,” and whether or not that is actually true, there [...]
NHL fans are already a pretty wacky bunch, and when the Stanley Cup Playoffs roll around you can usually count on them to take things to another level. However, at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. last night, there was one guy who was just not feeling it. Despite the fact this his team, the [...]
Catching a foul ball with your hat is impressive. What’s even more impressive is catching a foul ball with your hat while holding a baby with your other arm. One brave father attempted to do just that during last night’s game between the Detroit Tigers and the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park, and it was a great [...]
In soccer, there are reckless challenges, and then there are insanely vicious challenges. The challenge that Manchester United’s Nani put up against Real Madrid’s Alvaro Arbeloa in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16—the one that got Nani sent off, enabling Real to score two more goals and knock Man U out of the tournament? [...]
The flopping epidemic has already spread from soccer to hockey and basketball. In fact, it got so bad in basketball that the NBA now fines players for flopping. Now it appears this flopping business has even spread to baseball. However, ballplayers are still new to the flopping game, so they have yet to hone their [...]
Last night the seventh-seeded Ottawa Senators beat the second-seeded Montreal Canadiens 4-2 to snatch a one-game lead in their opening round playoff series against their regional and divisional rivals. However, they only did it after one of their players knocked a top Montreal forward out of the game and, in all likelihood, out of the [...]
Hockey goaltenders that allow two goals against over the course of a 60 minutes game are rarely awarded the “Stat Line of the Night,” but there is always the occasional exception. Take Craig Anderson‘s performance during Game One of the Ottawa Senators’ first round playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens, for example. You see, while [...]
You may not be interested in this Saturday’s Welterweight title fight between Roberto Guerrero and Floyd Mayweather Jr. because you probably already know what is going to happen—a Mayweather victory, probably via unanimous decision. But one thing you will almost certainly find interesting is the pre-fight press conference that took place earlier today. Why, you [...]
Last week we showed you a mesmerizing aniamted GIF that shows the trajectory of each pitch that Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish throws. To create it, some guy out there on the internet named Drew Shepard superimposed five separate clips of Darvish pitching over each other and then lined up the release point. The results were so awesome that [...]
First it was bowling. Now it’s flamenco dancing. Apparently, either Andrew Bynum just doesn’t know how not to be a giant douche, or the guy just doesn’t care. You know the story, right? Bynum was traded by the Lakers to the 76ers back in August. Everyone in Philadelphia was super excited. Then, a few days [...]
Remember the vuvuzela, and how is drove you absolutely insane while trying to watch the 2010 FIFA World Cup? Well, that may have been annoying, but at least the instrument was a genuine part of South Africa’s indigenous musical heritage. The 2014 FIFA World Cup will be played in Brazil, and since they apparently don’t [...]
Sports provide us with a nice diversion for the worries of everyday life, but of course sometimes we all get a little carried away. One bad call, one bone-headed play, or one epic flop, and all of a sudden we’re a bunch of angry douchebags doing things we would never do in “real” life. For [...]
If Yu Darvish were to pitch to Babe Ruth, who do you think would win that battle? Babe Ruth has always been thought of as one of the best hitters to ever play the game of baseball, but in his lifetime he never had to deal with a pitcher that had an arsenal like Darvish’s. So [...]
For the life of me, I can’t understand why any sports fan wouldn’t like hockey. Baseball? Sure, I get that. Baseball is probably my favorite sport, but I’ll admit that it’s basically just 45 minutes of action surrounded by two hours of pauses and crotch adjustments. Football? Sure, I get that, too. If you don’t [...]
