Generally speaking, you think of goalies as the most attentive athletes on the field. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case for Enaut Zubikarai (wearing green), goalkeeper for Real Sociedad. [Read more...]

Video: Bill Gates leaps over a chair in a single bound…is he the greatest athlete who never was?
October 12, 2011 By 5 Comments
Bill Gates is many things. He is rich. He is a renowned philanthropist. He made the personal computer as ubiquitous as the kitchen sink.
But did you know that Bill Gates, in addition to his supreme intellect and drive for success, also had freakish athletic ability?
It’s true. Watch:
Video: Aaron Hernandez’s Ahh-somely bizarre media session
October 7, 2011 By 4 Comments
Aaron Hernandez is one of the most talented and prolific tight ends in the league. With Rob Gronkowski, he forms one of the most potent 1-2 tight end punches I’ve ever seen.
And yesterday he held one of the most bizarre media sessions I’ve ever seen and NFL player have.
Hilarious Video: “Don’t Be That Awkward Runner”
October 5, 2011 By 9 Comments
Earlier today, our very own Jon Washburn claimed that he found the greatest YouTube video of all-time. I posted it here for your enjoyment.
But now I’m joining the party with my own nominee…not for greatest YouTube video of all-time (because that honor is and always will be this video, of course), but certainly for Greatest YouTube Video of Today.
The Internet’s random, wacky sense of humor just doesn’t get much better than the video below. So watch it…and don’t be that guy.
Watch a group of Chinese Indiana Pacers fans in the “greatest basketball video” Jon Washburn has “ever seen”
October 5, 2011 By 8 Comments
I just received this text message from our very own Jon Washburn:
please post the video I just tweeted up on MSF…the greatest basketball video I have ever seen.
Whoa.
Coming from Jon, a certified basketball fanatic, saying it’s “the greatest basketball video” he’s “ever seen” is quite high praise. I was thoroughly intrigued to watch the video and am posting it on MSF, so it must be pretty good.
And it is.
Video: Father drops kid to go after fly ball then catches evil eye from his wife
September 27, 2011 By 20 Comments
This is one of the more hilarious videos you’re likely to see on the Interwebs today…and we can laugh at it because no one got hurt, except maybe the rather impulsive dad who made the split second decision that going after a fly ball was more important than protecting his kid.
But don’t worry…his wife lets him know how she feels about it.
Video: Charles Barkley shatters driver on 1st tee at Champions Tour Regions Tradition at Shoal Creek
May 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Charles Barkley is one of the most entertaining and engaging sports personalities of my lifetime. There are a variety of reasons why this is the case, and it is unnecessary for me to expatiate because I’m sure that you agree with me.
In this post, I am going to focus on one of the more notoriously entertaining aspects of the Charles Barkley Experience: his putrid golf game, manifested so awfully with every herk, jerk, and duff produced by his flagrantly ugly swing.
And recently, on the 1st tee at the Champions Tour Regions Tradition at Shoal Creek, Barkley delivered one of the more ignominious moments of his mostly ignominious golfing “career”.
Video: How to outsmart your child, the old-fashioned way
April 13, 2011 By 6 Comments
All I have heard discussed on the radio and TV this morning is the unfortunate Josh Hamilton injury and the inevitable should-he-or-shouldn’t-he have gone home. Yes, it’s a worthy debate…for about five minutes; but then let’s move on.
However, since this is a 24-36 hour sports dead zone – March Madness over, no football, end of NBA regular season, April baseball – the Hamilton injury is the story of the day and all anyone is talking about, because it really is all there is to talk about.
Rather than pile on, I’ll take this opportunity to post some random entertainment while we await Devon’s sure-to-be-badass NBA Playoffs Preview (to be posted later today).
Here is the first bit of random entertainment, a funny video teaching all of the parents out there how to outsmart their children…the old-fashioned way.
Wait, What Did Deacon Jones Say?!?
January 7, 2011 By 9 Comments
[Editor's note: Since this article was posted, a few people have commented that it is very similar to a bit Adam Carolla has been using for years. I don't listen to Carolla much (probably a mistake on my part, because he's hilarious) so I was not familiar with his Deacon Jones bit. Brandon has addressed the concerns in the comment section, and I accept his explanation. We always link out and give credit to original sources of material used here at MSF, and we should have in this case since Carolla's bit partly inspired Brandon's post. Here is Carolla on Deacon Jones.]
———-
Many football experts consider Deacon Jones to be the greatest defensive linemen of all-time and the real NFL sack leader. Unfortunately Jones played before the NFL recorded sacks as a statistic, so we will never know how many sacks this Hall of Famer really had.
The best move in Deacon’s arsenal was his famous head slap. The head slap is actually a pretty simple move: right as the ball is snapped you break from your stance and instantly slap the offensive linemen in the face. The hit to the head slows down the o-lineman’s quickness and gives the defensive linemen a better shot at getting to the quarterback.
In today’s game the head slap is an illegal move, because quarterbacks would be getting sacked left and right.
But sometime in the late 80s or early 90s, NFL Films interviewed Deacon and asked him about his famous move. Listen to what Deacon said, and remember this was not doctored in anyway and this actually appeared on television.

Another day, another hilarious Tiger Woods video to post.
This one comes courtesy of the Jimmy Kimmel Show and stars Billy Dee Williams (hat tip: SbB). What else do you need to know?
Candice Swanepoel Makes Shannon Sharpe Stare, Bill Cowher Stutter, and Dan Marino Forget
December 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Just stumbled across the video from the CBS NFL pregame show from this past Sunday where the hosts provide their picks for a selection of games.
Why is this interesting?
Because Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel joined JB, Dan, Bill, Shannon, and Boomer to promote the upcoming Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
What ensued was…well…pretty much exactly what you’d expect when a beautiful woman is placed right between four former football players: stupid questions, staring, stuttering, mocking, and heartier-than-normal guffawing.
Video after the jump.
Friday WYNTR: The Yankees Lose But My Horse is Amazing
October 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
If you are a Yankees fan, today is a bittersweet Friday for you as the ALCS will go back to the Bronx. And if you didn’t watch the game, this tweet from MSF’s second-favorite Yankee fan (Dad is #1) sums it up quite perfectly:
I’d like to see a “Yankees 3, Girard 2″ backpage tomrorow, with “Clueless Joe” as a runnerup. Don’t let me down, News & Post. Good night.
I personally couldn’t care less. I’m actually glad Joe Girardi keeps making baffling moves (and that the Yankees jinx themselves) because, in the absence of NLCS drama, the ALCS is at least giving us a 6th game.
So for all of you Yankees fans out there, don’t be too down in the dumps today. Your team is still up 3-2, you still have the best lineup, you still have Mariano Rivera, you still have C.C. Sabathia ready to dominate a Game 7, and…
…Derek Jeter is still daring Minka Kelly.
So continue reading as Minka and I show you What You Need To Read this Friday morning.
