Yesterday we did a Top 5 post on fans throwing stuff onto the field, so today we thought we’d balance out the happiness with some negativity—a “worst of” post.
Here are a few entertaining “worsts” across the sports world:
Worst Idea to Have While at Fenway Park: That would be running onto the field, the end result of which […]

Rocky & Bullwinkle fans might recognize that as a Boris Badinov quote, but the $25K fine the NBA slapped Rasheed Wallace with conveys pretty much the same idea.
Why? Well, the Detroit Pistons forward ripped officials and was a pottymouth to boot following his team’s Eastern Conference Finals Game 5 loss to the Boston Celtics, 106-102. (And […]

Is it just us, or is Danica Patrick cute even when she’s mad? Maybe this bloggerette just has a soft spot for fellow petite chicks.
Anyway, Danica was none too happy about being knocked out of the Indy 500 yesterday on lap 171 by Ryan Briscoe. The pit exit dust-up—for which Briscoe is not apologetic—literally led to the […]

Second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera of the Cleveland Indians turned an unassisted triple play—only the 14th in MLB history. (Curious about lucky #13? That was Troy Tulowitzki of the Colorado Rockies last year).
Before we show you the video from the other day, we want to note two things.
1. “Asdrubal” is one of the coolest first names […]

This is an unorthodox post and not at all snarky, but does have the spirit of sports: After all, the most superior athletes, best teamwork, most intense competition, and the highest stakes take place in nature.
Nat Geo (the National Geographic channel) aired a documentary about the YouTube sensation (over 31 million views as of this […]

IRL hottie and interview rambler Danica Patrick hit a pit crewman—no, not her own—in yesterday’s Indy 500 practice. Fortunately Charles Buckman, the man struck by Patrick’s Andretti Green Racing No. 7 car, didn’t sustain any long-term injuries. (Thanks for sending this, Pat!)
Expect every late-night talk show host on the air and a whole lotta blogs to make […]

If you’ve been scoping out the sports headlines the past few days, chances are you’ve heard about Indianapolis Colts WR Marvin Harrison being interviewed about a shooting that took place in his Philadelphia bar, Playmakers.

Harrison hasn’t been arrested or charged but the smoking gun is in his hands, or at least in […]

Sure, Tony Stewart snagged his first victory at Talladega Superspeedway yesterday, but Kevin Lepage’s NASCAR no-no (16-car crash with over $3M in damages) hit the headlines, too.
Lepage’s boo-boo—zipping ahead of the pack straight off pit—sent Carl Edwards flipping (not, um, backflipping) and threw off 15 other drivers who, we’re guessing, used some colorful adjectives to describe Lepage yesterday. The race came to […]

Yay for commenters who leave fun things for us to post! Last month we posted about Brandon Marshall, the Denver Broncos wide receiver who had a McDonald’s wrapper mishap. (We also did a follow-up to Marshall’s slip-and-fall and subsequent arm laceration). Reader “boltvolt” recently left us a YouTube link in that post and observed how this 2-year-old […]

As demonstrated by this fan during the Red Sox–Rangers game at Fenway Park (57s):
Our favorite part? When he asks for the ball back. As if.
