Dad’s Soccer Practice With Son Goes Terribly Wrong
We’re having a bit of an ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ day here. First there was the incredibly painful faceplant compilation, and now we’ve got this kid getting smacked right in the face with a soccer ball by his dad.
Michael Phelps Sinks Ridiculous Putt
You don’t have to know much about golf to know that this is just ridiculous. Michael Phelps managed to sink a 153-foot putt at the Dunhill Links Championship. According to the announcer, Phelps is just learning to golf and is “26 handicapped,” which we’re pretty sure is Golf for “definitely shouldn’t make this putt.” Michael Phelps — there’s nothing he can’t do. As long as all he wants to do is s
Liam Neeson Goes on ‘Sportscenter,’ Knows Nothing About Football
Liam Neeson is a man who loves danger, which would explain why he went on ‘Sportscenter’ despite having no knowledge of football. The best part is when he asks to start over (they’re live), or maybe it’s when he drops an s-bomb, or maybe it’s when he admits he’s only seen two football games in his life. Brilliant work, Mr. Neeson.
The Best Reaction Memes to the NFL Replacement Refs
Woah boy. Even if you could not give one fraction of an iota of a care about football, you probably still heard about the game last night (thanks, Facebook!). To deal, we just imagined old-timey Keystone Kops music playing underneath the whole thing. Thankfully other people dealt with the insanity by making funny memes. Here are some of the best.
Clueless Sports Commentator Has No Idea What’s Going On
Sports commentator and former soccer player Chris Kamara has a bit of a reputation for not really knowing what’s going on, which makes sense when you watch this video of him not having any idea what’s happening. He’s at a soccer game, and has somehow failed to notice which player has been issued a red card and ejected from the game. Just a small detail.
Check Out the 2012 USA Men’s Basketball Team Blooper Reel
This is the most wholesome blooper reel we’ve ever seen. There’s no cursing or violence. It’s almost less of a blooper reel and more of a “look, basketball players can make friendly jokes” reel. I mean, nobody even hits their head on a door frame, which we secretly assumed happened to basketball players all the time.
Olympian Aly Raisman Turns Down Marriage Proposal, Keeps the Ring (Pop)
If you’re planning to win the hand of an Olympic gymnast who doesn’t even know you, it’s going to take a little bit more than some candy, we just learned. A fan got down on one knee (good start) and pulled out a Ring Pop (aaaand there it goes) before asking Aly Raisman if she would marry him. Mighty presumptuous of this guy, although, to be fair, she did take the candy.
Quadruple Amputee Swims Every Intercontinental Strait, Makes History
Well, we were feeling pretty proud of ourselves for finally looking up that Couch to 5k thing, but it’s going to take a little more than that to impress Phillippe Croizon. The quadruple amputee has made history by swimming intercontinental straits linking Oceania, Asia, Europe, America and Africa.
Ryan Lochte and Prince Harry Had a Drunken Swim Race
If there was audio for the video footage (available here) of Ryan Lochte and Prince Harry racing against each other in a Las Vegas pool, it would probably just be, “Jeah, brah! Let’s, like, totally race right now!” followed by a bunch of splashing and bro-chortles. But, alas we can only imagine what was actually said at 3am Monday morning (also known as “Party O’Clock” to people who don’t have to
