Predictable: White cop arrives on scene, encounters black kids... travels.

Dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk... DUNK IN YOUR FACE!!!!! (Hated that at first but then in grew on me...)

Most disproportionate level of reaction to quality of achievement, ever. Shitty haircuts all around is not grounds for that sort of celebration. Shitty pizza or tacos, maybe... but not haircuts.

Time capsule has to include that Cain at-bat leading off the ninth. Down 1-2, works a walk (with helluva take on 3-2 pitch, if I remember right). Then boom, he’s on 2nd, eliminating the double play. Great example of what made these Royals so tough to beat.

All studio talent should have a fall guy for moments like this.

Why didn’t the baby just catch the beer can? Oh, right... Canadian baby.

Abreu's back story is surely compelling, his personality more colorful than we think. But even if they weren't, just his ability to hammer the bejesus out of a baseball is enough for me. As Simon Barnes asked of people who slammed Pete Sampras for being boring: "If you find excellence boring, what on earth are you…

Yale is clearly better - after all, they did beat Harvard nearly half the time.

If you told me, from looking at that GIF, that both the faller and the guy to his right suffered torn ACLs in their left knees, I'd believe you.

Hasek probably doesn't - but should - come to mind when thinking of all-time great Olympic performances. What he did in Nagano, leading the Czech Republic to gold, was amazing.

Um, court invader... have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Didn't see the ball flight, but pretty sure dad pulled it.

Honest question cuz I don't watch tons of YouTube compilation clips: Could you make a clip like the dummy156 embedded, but replace Messi with Ronaldo? I'm one of those suckers with limited evidence that thinks Messi would never do what Ronaldo did to prompt this post (or at least that Ronaldo is way more likely to…

I love the photog guy pointing — but not shooting... seems he's doing it wrong.

Analagous Simpsons Quote: "The rod up that man's butt, must have a rod up its butt."

What's the "do it one time" exactly... and what's his left arm (and hand we can't see) doing? No way his "do it one time" just meant "take a routine selfie," right?

Best part: The reporter's on-camera tag, when she says, "Hosmer is celebrating something else this morning"... (ok, cool, I'm listening)... "He has a new nickname..." (awww, lame... but you appear to be reading it off your phone, so it must be clever!)... "And that is 'Hot-Hitting Hosmer,' after that 2-run home-run…

At the 2:01 mark, it says "Senators tie the score." But the ensuing footage shows a batter ground out to 1st, apparently ending the innning (defense walks off field). There was a runner on third who raced home and crossed the plate just before the out at 1st was made — back then, did that mean the run counts? Or is…
