Awww, doesn’t that just melt your hardened heart? I know these “kids being videotaped by heartless parents while crying over sports” is getting a bit tiresome, but this one’s different.  First off, this dad seems like a good father, and not some douche looking to exploit his child with a crushed soul for hits on YouTube.  Plus, this little guy is so sweet you just can’t help but feel bad for the kid’s broken heart.

Stupid 49ers! (more…)

Of course he does…

I don’t have any tattoos and even I can tell that’s fake. First of all, it’s too damn shiny, and on top of that, it looks like it was done in magic marker.  Plus, if it were real, and based on what little I know of A’s pitcher Dallas Braden, Rollie Fingers would be naked, and the tattoo would be 10 times as large and on Braden’s back.

Unless you’re one of the Beastie Boys or Eminem, white guys shouldn’t rap, and geeky white guys with full beards should never, ever rap about Rob Gronkowski, or even sports in general.  They lack the proper enzymes or chromosomes or something that allows them to drop sick rhymes and whatnot.  It’s just science.

Still, there’s something to be said about “The Gronk Song,” a lyrical tribute to the Patriots superb tight end.  It’s not the best fan tribute song out there, but I do believe it’s the first, and only, one to feature the phrase “Gronk boner.”  I’m not 100% sure what a “Gronk boner” is, but I have a feeling if I ever got one I’d know it right away.  And I also have a feeling it would be very, very unpleasant.

"In Russia, football kicks you..."

Pay close attention NFL scouts, because if your team is interested in a new field goal kicker, then you might consider signing Russian kicking sensation Vladimir “Bobby” Bütitfar and his golden right leg.  His demo reel is beyond amazing, and I just don’t mean his kicking prowess and phenomenally athletic physique.  The production values are off the charts.

But what else would you expect from the uproariously hilarious Funny or Die? (more…)

Obviously this ball boy wasn’t content just to chase loose balls all over the court, instead choosing to use his panther-like reflexes to snag a ball hit his way during Thursday’s Federer-Nadal semi-final match at the Australian Open.  While our ball boy ninja didn’t get any recognition from either player, at least the appreciative crowd gave him some applause for his sick catch, as they should have.

Mavs forward/center Dirk Nowitzki sat out Wednesday’s game against the T-Wolves due to a lingering knee injury, but that didn’t stop Disco Dirk from getting on the highlight reel, thanks to this tremendous impromptu color commentary of a Jason Terry/Brandan Wright alley-oop.

Nowitzki embraced his short-lived role as color man with such verve and elan that if you closed your eyes you thought you were listening to Gus Johnson, only with a German accent and a better jump shot.  Dirk can definitely use this as an audition tape should he ever seek a post-basketball career as a basketball announcer.

What could possibly go wrong?  Oh yeah, this…

Dude had to know that this stunt would not end well, and yet he still went through with it, much to the chagrin of his now crushed testicles.  Sometimes ignorance isn’t just bliss, it’s awesome.  Not so much for him, but definitely for the rest of us who aren’t him. (more…)

Chuck Giampa is a renowned boxing judge turned analyst for Showtime Boxing, and this past Friday Giampa made his rather unforgettable television debut.  When host Al Bernstein, who refers to Giampa’s esteemed record as a judge (3000 fights judged, including 132 world championship bouts), throws it over to Showtime’s newest analyst, for what we the viewing audience can only imagine is some sort of unique insight into judging boxing, Giampa repeats his opening line “Thanks Al, tonight I will be taking you inside the mind of a judge…” twice mind you, before pausing in a splendid moment of awkward silence.  He ends his segment with a mumbled “sh*t” before producers mercifully cut away from the frazzled Giampa.

All in all a moment of television gold that old Chuck would just as soon forget.

Wait, make that the third worst thing to ever happen to former NHLer Richard Zednik.  I forgot about the two years he spent with the Florida Panthers. (more…)

See people, like I’ve been trying to tell you, hard work and determination rarely pays off.  All this high school basketball player’s hustle results in is an absolutely insane 3-pointer for the other team, and a starring role in a soon-to-be viral video. (more…)
