Mark Vital, a senior forward at Advanced Preparatory International (Dallas, Tx.) threw down a dunk that defied the laws of gravity and has been receiving a lot of love from fans on social media. Vital, who stands at six-foot-five and is headed to Baylor in 2016, competed in a recent dunk contest. And judging by his jumping ability, it’s […]

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul spoke his mind in Tuesday night’s exhibition game against the Golden State Warriors, and he paid for it. Paul was clearly upset during the game and told a ref to treat him like the adult that he is. “I’ve got two kids of my own, don’t talk to […]

The MLB league office needs to look into amending the ground rules at Wrigley Field, because the Mets got robbed of a run in Game 3 of the NLCS on Tuesday night. It didn’t really matter, though, when it was all said and done, as the Mets defeated the Cubs 5-2. But it should’ve been […]

Monday night actually brought something good for a change, as football fans were treated to the official debut of the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens during halftime of Monday Night Football. The much-anticipated movie marks the first movie of the saga since 2005, when Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was released. The […]

If you were watching the Colts and Patriots square off on Sunday Night Football, you may have witnessed one of the worst special teams plays of all-time. While it wasn’t as bad as Jim Zorn and the Redskins’ “Swinging Gate” play from back in 2009, which you can watch here, it was still laughable. We’re not […]

New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez is good at baseball. Football, however, may not be his thing. Rodriguez appeared on the “FOX NFL Sunday” pregame show, as he recently joined the network as an analyst to cover the MLB playoffs. He threw a pass to Jay Glazer that shows the former high school quarterback clearly […]

New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall delivered the dagger in Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins. Marshall fought off contact from Bashaud Breeland and caught a back-shoulder throw from Ryan Fitzpatrick with his fingertips. The pass was low and not too many receivers would’ve made the catch to begin with, but Marshall didn’t stop […]

I don’t know how Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Marvin Jones maintained control of the football after absorbing a huge hit in Sunday’s game against the Bills, and after watching the video clip, neither will you. Jones caught a screen pass from Andy Dalton in the third quarter of the game at the Bills’ 11-yard line, […]

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry made a few Titans defenders look silly in the first quarter of Sunday’s game. Landry received a handoff from quarterback Ryan Tannehill on an end-around and picked up steam as he headed toward the end zone. The Dolphins helped him out with good blocking on the play, but Landry did the rest. He […]

Stop what you’re doing right now and watch the best catch of the 2015 college football season thus far. Stanford WR Francis Owusu was faced with the tough task of attempting to catch a ball in the end zone which was horribly underthrown in the third quarter of Thursday night’s game against UCLA. No problem. […]

Washington Redskins safety Trenton Robinson was thrilled when Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant missed a 48-yard field goal at the end of the first half of Sunday’s game. Robinson decided to celebrate, especially since his team was out in front with an insurmountable 7-3 lead. Clearly, there was no chance the Falcons were going to […]

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne thought New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman was going to run straight up the sideline during the first half of Sunday’s game. But Edelman didn’t. In fact, he faked like he was going straight on a go-route but cut back inside with a nice juke. Morris Claiborne bit on […]

Agility is not a trait that Texas Rangers designated hitter/first baseman Prince Fielder possesses. The 275-pound slugger gets a lot of power behind his swing and drives in runs like the best of them, but agile he is not. So when he tried to climb over the dugout railing to celebrate the team’s thrilling 6-4 […]

There was no love lost among players in Wednesday night’s NL Wild Card Game between the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. The Cubs shut out the Pirates 4-0 behind a dominant, complete-game-outing from Jake Arrieta, and it’s clear players on the home team were frustrated. It was no accident when Pirates reliever […]

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is already developing a bad reputation among his peers in just his second season in the league. Beckham had to expect a lot of contact from opposing defensive backs after his historic rookie season, as they were clearly going to look to take away the Giants’ biggest […]

Football is a game of inches—just ask Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Johnson caught a pass with under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game against the Seahawks, and he raced 10 yards down to the 1-yard line. As he prepared to stretch for the goal line, he was met […]

When Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is at his best, he can buy time in the pocket and make throws with pinpoint accuracy. That’s what happened in the second quarter of Monday night’s game against the Detroit Lions, when multiple Lions defensive linemen had a chance to sack him, but no one could. The Seahawks […]

Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world, but he needs to slow down and relax from time to time. The Jamaican sprinter hit up Oktoberfest in Munich this past weekend to do just that, and he rocked the lederhosen while in attendance, because you have to dress the part. Bolt downed a few […]

Saints head coach Sean Payton had no problem hanging around after Sunday night’s game against the Cowboys was in the books, especially since New Orleans pulled off a dramatic 26-20 win in overtime. The guys from the hit TV show “Duck Dynasty” were in attendance at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for the game, and they were […]

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has had a rough season so far, and Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers was no different. He completed only 13 of 25 passes for 160 yards (one interception), and took six sacks as well. Kaepernick continues to struggle going through his progressions, and accuracy and ball placement […]

Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh doesn’t smile often. When he shows emotion, it’s often in the form of anger or frustration, as he’s very competitive and does not like to lose. So few people were surprised when he appeared a bit grumpy after the team’s 27-14 loss to the New York Jets at Wembley Stadium […]

Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney had plenty to say after his team knocked off the (No. 6) Notre Dame Irish 24-22 on Saturday night. Unfortunately, ESPN was more interested in airing “SportsCenter.” Swinney was delivering a great postgame interview, and had just thanked God and his father. That’s when ESPN cut to two unsuspecting […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely be on the hunt for a new kicker after Josh Scobee shanked kicks from 49 and 41 yards out in the team’s 23-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. Scobee was having a subpar season by kickers’ standards heading into the Week 4 matchup, having made only […]
