We aren’t huge football fans (rugby, now there’s great sport with an irregularly shaped ball!), but if we had to pick a favorite sort of football highlight it would be between the acrobatic catch and the return for a touchdown. After all, what’s the point of having such a huge field if you can’t run [...]

As kids we were total trampoline addicts – we were on that thing all the time, and though we never came away with any serious injuries or even substantial some of our friends took some mighty impressive tumbles. We never ever broke a trampoline, although a rather heavy-set friend of ours definitely bent his out [...]

We appreciate that, in the NFL more-so than any other professional sports league, you never know just how short your career might be, so you really have to capitalize as quickly as possible. Like, for instance, making small and silly endorsements deals with local businesses and appearing in their poorly conceived and executed commercials. That’s [...]

We’ve recently featured some videos of tall buildings going up real fast, and other buildings coming down or ripping apart very fast, but one style of structure seems especially pre-disposed to controlled detonation: the sports stadium. Just look at Super Tremendous’ listicle of The 7 Greatest Sports Stadium Demolitions, which features some great arena take-downs, [...]

You know what the beginning of Fall means (especially on college campuses): football! Seriously, though, the college football that will get us through the next few months is just getting started, and we’re a little overwhelmed with all the statistics and studies that we’re already behind on. Complex contributes another slightly overwhelming set of stats [...]

We’ve never been big on baseball, but like NASCAR, we understand the appeal of a hobby with such an obvious potential for pain and injury. In fact, the only time we really watch baseball highlights anymore is when we’ve heard about a good fight (like the recent Red Sox-Tigers throwdown) or a painful pitch gone [...]

It’s kind of a slow time of year for pro sports, especially with no World Cup or Olympic Games this summer, but what better excuse to indulge a sweeping sports history retrospective. We suggest Complex’s listicle of The 50 Most Badass Moments in Sports History, which includes some questionable entries like Zidane’s headbutting adventure, but [...]

Ah, the sports fart. Always a bit of a gray zone, since it’s pretty hard to control farts during arduous physical activity, and since we’re already all sweaty, smelly and gross, does it really matter? Well, in a loud gym during a half-hour on the treadmill, probably not. However, professional athletes and televised workout gurus [...]

Our team name in junior high was the Flyers, which didn’t mean that we passed out pieces of paper inviting locals to our events, but that our school occupied an old airfield, and its gym was an old airplane hangar. In college we had a men’s team named the Redmen (not because of the natives [...]

That epic get-together of the craziest and most daring athletes/stuntmen/daredevils, the X Games, is currently going down in Los Angeles (or, to be more accurate, is currently flying over LA while doing no-hands 520s). At any rate, if you don’t know what to expect from the event – because, really, isn’t it all about achieving [...]
