Earlier this morning, we showed you video of New Mexico women’s soccer player Elizabeth Lambert going full berzerker on the Lobos’ opponents, BYU.

WNBA’s One-Armed Juggler Will Haunt Your Sleep

We’re not going to extrapolate too much from this in terms of deeming the WNBA a “sideshow” - as we all know, the WNBA is a hugely successful league and this is just one halftime routine - but we were a little unsettled when we saw this pop up on the YOUTUBE just the other […]

Speed Read: An Evening Of Florida Pillow-Fighting

Normally, you don’t see a broadcast booth spend a plurality of a football game raving about the “time of possession” statistic.
