Miami Heat Set Hall of Shame Record

The Miami Heat should be red in the face for this honor: They set an NBA record for fewest field goals in their 88-62 loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday. The magic number? 17 FGs. Ouch.
Percentage-wise it worked out to be 28.8% for the game, which helped the Heat notch their 60th loss for the season […]

Video: Awesome Bicycle Kick

Is this the coolest shot possible in soccer or what?
We saw a clip (53s) of this awesome bicycle kick goal in the Iran–Kuwait World Cup 2010 game and just had to share. Keep your eye on the white jerseys. The goal happens so fast you might miss it the first time; wait for the replay […]

Should Danica Patrick be Hot or Heavy?

The Indy Racing League just implemented a rule likely to send Danica Patrick fans running to their 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for comfort. And IRL officials shouldn’t be surprised if a particularly die-hard contigent of them storm the next board meeting wielding pitchforks and rolled up SI’s.

The Alarming Trend in March Madness Pools

If this doesn’t make you shake your head, say “Kids today” right after a world-weary sigh, and finish it off with a tsk-tsk, nothing will.
We’re in a March Madness pool with five other bloggers, and that’s all well and good. But what Frank Coffey and the Goodfellas at eTrueSports uncovered pretty near guarantees that you’ll […]

Derek Jeter Loses a Bet, Surprising No One

You know how the “house” always wins at the casino? And how, luck and (sometimes) skill aside, the “little people” don’t really have a chance?
Playing the role of the “house” today is Hideki Matsui of the New York Yankees (Bobby Abreu serves as understudy). Derek Jeter is stepping into the role of the “little people.”
That […]

Don’t Throw That Water Bottle Just Yet

Did you ever get the urge to throw your water bottle at someone, like we did when we saw that chick at the gym reading a book while doing leg presses?
Well, if the case of 23-year-old Roland Flores is any indication, we urge you to suppress the urge. (That’s not a typo; that was us engaging in […]

Procrastination Technique No. 528: Digital Baseball

We’re always looking for new ways to procrastinate. Thus, when we discover new ones, we consider it our civic duty to pass them along. (We’re good like that.)
Maybe you knew this, but we didn’t: MLB.com has a high-quality 24/7 online video service with all sort of packages–even on mobile devices.   
Really, push us over with a feather plucked from […]

Video: David Beckham Making Anderson Cooper Look Like a Putz

Take your pick on the spin for this one. Here are your choices:
(1) It’s awesome to see David Beckham in action.
(2) It’s awesome to see Anderson Cooper flailing around.

(4) Anderson Cooper was OK, but […]

It’s All Fun and Games Until Someone Gets an Arm Laceration

Well, well, well. There’s more to the Brandon Marshall–McDonald’s bout than the sports world initially thought.
ESPN reports that the “two-week cast and a few stitches” aspect of the story was a gross under-exaggeration. The Denver Broncos WR, according to the team’s trainer, ”sustained right forearm lacerations to one artery, one vein, one nerve, two tendons and three […]
