Soccer violence is pissing us off now. It’s bad enough we have opportunistic soccerphobic haters berating the game every chance they get, but now we’re not so sure it’s unwarranted. Argentine Clausura was marred by more violence this weekend...

Fulham striker and American international soccer stud, Clint Dempsey, should jump on a plane and fly back to the States. No offense to British folk, but they can’t appreciate his lyrical flows and Texan ways. Here his is during...

Things were to get a lot brighter for Mike Bibby when he was traded from the Sac-Town Kings to the Atlanta Hawks. We’re not sure how exactly, but it sure brought in some seriously good money to Bibby. He’s...

Hey, George Dubya’s getting booed, but he can still manage a 60 foot toss from the mound. It’s like, he could totally run a war with his eyes closed, brother. [Red Lasso] Tennis pro Andy Roddick, the guy who’s...

German international soccer player and Arsenal FC goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was involved in a scuffle with paparazzi photographers last night at London’s renowned Embassy Club. He’s on the verge of being recalled to international duties so we don’t really...

When Formula One racing was pummeled by allegations last year that there was rampant cheating, they decided to clear out the airways by embracing their mistakes in an effort to move forward. Current FIA president (FIA is the governing...

We’d prefere a Fox Sports video, but this fan doesn’t do a bad job of capturing the Colorado Rapids’ Terry Cook nailing the rebound and scoring on Beckham’s Galaxy. If there’s one thing that isn’t faulty in Major League...

When you have names like Kim Kardashian, Snoop Dogg, Reggie Bush and something called “BunnyMania” (sponsored by Playboy), you know you’ve missed the greatest show absurdity on earth. For some, Wrestlemania 24 didn’t disappoint last night. The mega-farce entertained...

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox broke a major league record by playing a game host to more than 115,000 fans. That’s roughly 3 billion Dodger dogs served in one game. It would have been nice to...

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night MLS: Analysis concerning the Los Angeles Galaxy is futile at best. We’re simply going to reveal that Cobi Jones totally got out with some dignity. Los Angeles Galaxy 0, Colorado Rapid 4. [Daily...

Update Update: NetResult can’t translate Arabic. Update: Sorry for the gritty video, but the bastards at “NetResult” keep pulling EVERY SINGLE VIDEO of Ronaldo’s goal. Cristiano Ronaldo was notified by Satan this morning that his back heel would reign...

Jessicah Schipper is the Australian world record holder in the butterfly, and she’s got a bone to pick with Speedo. During her trials this weekend for the smog-infested squat toilet Olympics of 2008, her LZR Racer speedsuit made by...

We’ve never considered John Mayer to be anything more than a cool guitarist. [Ed. Note: Bug off, philistines.] Yet, after partaking in a 9-month shagfest with Jessica Simpson last year, and now calling a rather humorous play-by-play, the guy’s...

Speculations as to why England lost to France this past Wednesday revolved around analysis regarding Fabio Capello’s unorthodox formations and his decision to take a traditionally deep positioned England defense, move them forward and see them scatter like frightened...

A gust of wind sent advertisement placards flying through the air during a South African league match, hurting the linesman and a few players. Yet, some were spared serious injury because some players in the white unis (check out...

Bolivian President Evo Morales made some minor league La Paz team’s heads turn when he showed off some of his soccer skills during a charity match with Diego Maradona last month. He was so impressive that Litoral, a minor...

Apparently the only person that didn’t care about defending themselves from a flying bat is the man getting nailed in the jaw. That’s a sign of a calloused, fearless man; or the dude was blind. And deaf. Which is...

How do defenders still get dooped by the sombrerito move? You’d think a defender would have his body set to block out, his feet set to pivot and his brain set to not fling his arms in distress and...

When England national team coach Fabio Capello decided to let David Beckham join England’s World Cup qualifying squad, many assumed that after his historic 100th cap, the British icon would be sent back to the States to play sub-par...

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night March Madness: Louisville delivered a one, two punch that leveled Tennessee from tip-off. What are we supposed to do about our bracket now? We’re screwed. Louisville 79, Tennessee 60. [NYTimes] March Madness: Damn...

The Los Angeles Dodgers allowed ESPN writer Eric Neel exclusive access on their road throughout China to report back on any fistacuffs, maybe the occasional hooker scandal, or to simply report back on Joe Torre’s exquisite shoes, which he...

New York blogger Alex (triple tocayo?) Blagg took it upon himself to entertain us via getting thrashed by MMA knuckler Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. We had the same idea, but instead of a legitimate UFC champion, we’d take on those...

If you hadn’t noticed, SI’s Vault is open for article reaping. We’ve been perusing their stash and have come across numerous classic covers. Unfortunately, there isn’t much dedicated to soccer. It keeps our searches short (which we love), but...

The fact that Wrestlemania 24 will entertain the idea that a boxer can wrestle is enraging. Now that we see this clip of Mayweather Jr. without his Ritalin, we’re confessed nothing good will come out of this—unless someone is...

When it comes to the value of European soccer players in the United States, one can argue that M.L.S. would have better luck ransacking and fostering players from nearby Latino neighborhoods in every major city in the United States....

Graphic Video It turns out Spain’s not just about basketball blogging and hot girl contests—there’s also ass kickings asunder! This video, which was recorded on a cell phone and shown on television in Spain, shows Sevilla fans whooping on...

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox are set for an exhibition showdown (how can they fit in exhibition games when the season started in Japan?) in the famed Los Angeles Coliseum this weekend and there are...

The announcers are bemused by the fact that Brazil isn’t winning 3-0. We don’t speak Portuguese, but that’s what it sounds like. Thank goodness Sweden’s goalie is a goof ball and Pato’s a savvy youngster. Did you notice how...

Meet 89-year old Furman Bisher. Furman’s a baseball writer for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and he has a problem with Major League Baseball’s insistence on opening their season over in Japan. But it has nothing to do with starting the...

It was probably the best thing in the eyes of the Miami Heat organization to ship Shaquille O’Neil off to the Phoenix Suns last month. His overbearing contract, along with minimal play because he was a fat lug, were...

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night International Friendly: The biggest hype of the day came when David Beckham won his 100th cap of his career. The moment of reality came when Frank Ribery scored a penalty, Beckham was given...

This video above, though we apologize is quite the lo-fi experience, is of Pavel Pardo saving Hugo Sanchez’s tenure as manager. Mexico completely outplayed Ghana in their 2-1 victory and were able to salvage integrity after Ghana’s John Mensah...

Apparently this list started at 239, but who has time on a Wednesday for 239 clips of goals? And, how in the world is Diego Maradona’s goal number 2? [YouTube] Sports Illustrated has opened up their archives to you,...

Mexico has been gearing up for their friendly clash tonight against Ghana, in what is likely to be a do-or-die situation for coach Hugo Sanchez—at least that’s what all the melodramatic publications want you to believe. We, on the...

People say you should feel safe when there are crying babies on board an airplane. We personally feel rage and anxiety, and want to scream “pipe down junior!” We’d feel much safer is there were Rugby players on board...

A Spanish newspaper, which we’ve been feverishly looking for sans luck, sent one of their greasy haired interns to Photoshop an image that contained an advertisement for a rival publication. (Enlarge picture.) Um, the poor guy ended up cloning...

When it comes to pinning hottie against hottie, no one does it better than FHM. Except, maybe, Playboy, Maxim, Stuff, oh you get it. FHM’s monthly boobathon takes us around the world where scores of women were photographed in...

When Martin Taylor almost kicked Eduardo Da Silva’s lower leg off last month, it sent the Arsenal striker not only to the hospital, but into a state of amnesia. At least, that’s what he said in his first interview...

From the always-exciting Polish soccer league comes this 60 yard strike from Górnik Zabrze’s Tomasz Hajto (say that three times fast). Our favorite part of the vid, other than the amazing goal, is how cooly the announcer describes the...

If you want to compare the LPGA’s best and the PGA’s best, stop right here. We perused through USA Today’s golf page when we caught sight of Lorena Ochoa’s name and a post commending her recent visit to Ping,...

English Premiership manager Paul Jewell is in a heap of trouble after News Of The World reported that the Derby County manager participated in a salacious rendezvous with someone other than his wife. Quite the novelty these days. There’s...
