Soccer players have been known to be great actors at times when it comes to flopping/diving but this goal during an Israeli soccer match might deserve an Oscar for those involved. Check out the team in red setting up for the free kick as it first appears that the shooter has a disagreement with one…

Jose Canseco makes debut with Worcester Tornadoes, goes hitless (video)
May 19, 2012, 4:28 PM EDT
Recently, we’ve been paying more attention to Jose Canseco’s Twitter feed than his actual baseball career which he is still trying to continue. Canseco recently signed with the Worcester Tornadoes of the Can-Am League and Jose played his first game with the squad in their home opener against the Newark Bears. Sadly for Jose, his…

This post might bring a whole new meaning to the term “running on air”. An Australian marathon runner by the name of Rob Ginnivan decided to take his running to new heights as he ran thirteen miles on a treadmill (powered by a generator) that was placed in a hot air balloon. Ginnivan hired the…

There are a few things that I would never bring to a baseball game and a puppet is on that short list. Well, one Texas Rangers fan decided that a puppet was on his list to bring to the ballpark and brought a rather creepy one that was based on Rangers manager Ron Washington to…

We’ve seen some pretty hard hits so far during the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs but the biggest hit might have come in Stockholm, Sweden during the Ice Hockey World Championships.

Because it’s Friday, here’s a dog pedaling a bicycle (video)
May 18, 2012, 6:47 PM EDT
If there’s one criticism I most often get, it’s probably: ‘Hey! How come you rarely show videos of a dog pedaling a bicycle?’ I’ll have to admit, you’ve got a point. So here without further ado is Norman, the bike-riding dog. The next step, of course: get Norman a paper route. Is it just me…

May 18, 2012, 5:40 PM EDT
“Buckets. I get buckets.” Anyone familiar with Richard Pryor’s “Mudbone” character will appreciate Uncle Drew. That’s actually Cleveland Cavaliers Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving hidden with a bunch of makeup and prosthetics. “I know I’m old youngblood, but you want to switch sneakers?” Ha. It’s pretty fantastic how “Uncle Drew” changes from a wobbly…

No, we do not yet have our first transgender Miss Universe (that’s too much for even Joe Biden to arrange). But we officially have our first transgender Miss Universe contestant.

Coffee, tea, fire? Lit Olympic torch travels from Greece to England by commercial airliner
May 18, 2012, 1:49 PM EDT
“Welcome to British Airways. Your in-flight movie will be Backdraft.” The Olympic torch was flown from Greece to Great Britain earlier today, and since it’s the Olympic Flame, it of course had to be on fire during the flight. Must have been a very comfortable trip for the guy sitting there next to four lit…

Poor Pittsburgh Pirates … even their bobbleheads depict failure
May 18, 2012, 1:03 PM EDT
What you see here is possibly the most ambitious bobblehead doll giveaway item ever assembled: it’s The Slide, featuring Sid Bream of the Atlanta Braves. It’s really three bobbles in one, with Sid, the umpire calling him safe, and Pirates’ catcher Mike LaValliere lunging in vain to try and tag Bream at the plate. This…

Every state with Native American mascots in some of their high schools, please step forward. Not so fast, Oregon! All Native American-themed sports mascots and nicknames in Oregon — Indians, Chiefs, Braves, whatever — are to be phased out by 2017, decreed the State Board of Education in a 5-1 vote on Thursday. Call them…

May 18, 2012, 11:06 AM EDT
You laughed when Russia poured all of that money into psychic livestock research in the 1980s, but who’s laughing now? Russia claims to have an “oracle hog” that will predict results of the Euro 2012 soccer tournament, and will roll out the porcine prognosticator the day before the tourney kicks off, 20 days, 13 hours…

Morning Mail: Haircut kid scores Spurs tickets, swag from Matt Bonner
May 18, 2012, 9:00 AM EDT
So I suppose Patrick Gonzalez’s story has a happy ending after all. The San Antonio 12-year-old was threatened with suspension from his middle school for the intricate Matt Bonner portrait he had shaved into the back of his head. But Bonner was touched by the gesture, and showered his No. 1 fan with Spurs gifts,…

May 17, 2012, 7:50 PM EDT
Well, here’s your bit of irony for Thursday: Michael Vick is getting married in a town that bans pit bulls. The New York Post reports that Vick will wed longtime fiancée Kijafa Frink at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach on June 30, and the invitations just went out (runs to mailbox, sets up folding chair, peers…

What the heck was that, Lt. Dan? Your latest ceremonial first pitch fail is by Gary Sinese (video)
May 17, 2012, 4:45 PM EDT
We’ll need the team from CSI:NY to find the ball, I’m afraid. Gary Sinese threw out the first pitch at the Rangers game on Wednesday, and the results were only slightly better than Korean pop sensation Jessica Jung last week. And that’s not saying a lot. Well, he is a Cubs fan …

Rick’s Cafe: The bus to away games … how America’s youth got its groove back
May 17, 2012, 2:10 PM EDT
We are living in bleak, tenebrous times, my friends. Sometimes it seems as if we exist in a series of bubbles, living lives unilluminated by the light and heat of our fellow man. Even as the world becomes more crowded, we become more shut off from each other. I’m speaking of course about the Devil’s…
