Got a cool and/or funny sports pic? Dump it here.

[SIZE="1"]Moderator: If this should be in the 'Quality Images & Videos' thread feel free to move it over there.[/SIZE]

I don't know who the guy in red is, the guy on the (our) right is Muhammad Ali. And back there in the next row? That would be a Ray Leonard, of the Sugar variety.

Spinx used to use his face to tire opponents, maybe is was beat up boxer day at the stadium... although Sugar Ray still looks like he has it together.

Where Is Leon Spinks Now:
Spinks was reportedly homeless just over a decade after winning the heavyweight title. Later, after getting divorced, he briefly lived in a shelter in his native St. Louis. He's been a greeter at Mike Ditka's restaurant in Chicago. He also helped start a gym in Detroit and did assorted odd jobs in California.

More recently, he was living in Columbus, Nebraska and working at a local YMCA and McDonalds. He was also volunteering at an after-school program for youth.

sad.

Bootsy Collins recorded an original track for NBA Jam back in the early 2000s. I didn't get to sit in on the sessions myself, but my two coworkers reported back that he was a very mellow, cool guy in person. A career musician who didn't let the fame go to his head.

Former Miami University star and current Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is taking a beating on Twitter for the hat he wore to a postgame press conference following Pittsburgh’s overtime loss to Denver in Sunday’s AFC wild-card game.

Here are some of the funnier (clean) Tweets we’ve seen about Big Ben and his hat:

@SarahSpain: Apparently Big Ben’s got a 1920′s murder mystery dinner to attend after this presser.

@DeLaNate: Ben may have single handedly just killed the fedora fad. At least he did something right today.

@EddieMcClintock: Ben Roethlisberger; Big Man. Big head. Small hat.

@sidmanlaw: I wonder if #Roethlisberger got Steelers-branded lederhosen and a tankard when he bought that hat. #oktoberfest anyone?

@Elisemenaker: Big Ben murdered Professor Plum in the dining room with the candlestick.

Yeah, yeah, short holes. But any way you look at it, that little girl put a (roughly) 1.5" ball into a 4.25" hole that was (for the shorter of the two) almost 200 feet away!

Twice, in one round.

Amazing! That's so cool. My dad didn't get back into golfing like he wanted until about 10 years ago, but he's since had two holes-in-one.

For a girl that age to do that? In one round? Unbelievable! When she gets older I hope she stays that good. Bigger person, bigger courses. Because she will be legendary.

That is impressive hops, for sure.

Not to split hairs, but I would measure an effective vertical by what you are able to reach--overhead, not by how tight you can tuck your heels. (This is based on the assumption that the purpose of a vertical is to do awesome slam dunks, like over dudes heads and what-not. By no means the only reason to develop a vertical--it's just the only thing I ever did with it.)

Maybe ya can't tell without the Crown Royal hat, but, that's Troy Tulowitzki getting, uh...

[ATTACH]38786[/ATTACH]

...I'm not sure what's going on there.
classicman • May 17, 2012 9:54 pm
A night after a foul ball by teammate Dexter Fowler struck near his left knee, Tulowitzki returned to Colorado's starting lineup Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants despite some soreness in his leg.

Tulowitzki had yet to see a replay of the incident - and isn't sure he'd want to watch one anyway. He said he'll still stand on the dugout steps - something he has done his entire career - before he's on-deck but will certainly do more to shield himself.

''Maybe not like on the top, top step,'' Tulowitzki said. ''I've been standing up there forever. But I guess all it takes is one time.''

Colorado knows the injury to its star shortstop could've been far worse.

Fowler sent a line drive into the Rockies' dugout along first base in the eighth inning of San Francisco's 3-2 victory Monday night. After being examined by athletic trainer Keith Dugger, Tulowitzki stayed in the game and took his turn at-bat.

He reached on an infield single against Javier Lopez but hobbled to the base, clearly in pain. Manager Jim Tracy and Dugger hustled out to first and Tulowitzki was lifted for pinch-runner Chris Nelson.

I've been doing an intense regimen of heavy metal drumming coupled with bodybuilding-style weightlifting, coupled with middle distance running incorporating pullups, pushups, and crunches to 'spike' my heart rate--in other words, interval or 'military' type training. I've gotten to a point where my body fat is pretty low and my muscles are extremely conditioned. I don't seem to be gaining any mass, just getting leaner and more muscular. I've realized that what I could acheive with this program is a boxer's physique. Ali is just about about perfect. I'm aiming for this look.

It's funny, because I don't know shit about football but I always remember that 2002 is when the Houston Texans came into existence. Because we were in final beta for Quarterback Challenge 2003, and the designers were shoving the brand new team data into the game at the last possible nanosecond. Except we'd already done the audio with the professional sports announcers months ago, and there was no way we could afford to get them back for another session. But I did have approximately 16,000 files of source material. So I went through and pulled the audio file for every Hugh, Hubert, humongous, and humor; and every Johnston, Royston, Livingston, and Penistone; and every Tex syllable; and every "unz;" and spent all night Frankensteining various combinations together into appropriate inflections for every team name stitch in the game. Ironically, the dude actually said the words "Houston" and "Texans," in an unlockable interview clip talking about how he remembered something not-at-all-interesting about the Dallas Texans in the 1960s. But he slurred his speech and it was unusable.

It has come to my attention that some recent new members seem hopelessly incapable of understanding how to post in a discussion (sort of) forum like the Cellar. So here are a few tips (and don't forget the jar, either).

1) Post randomly in threads that have absolutely no connection to whatever message it is that you're trying to get across. When folks who have been here a while chide you on this behavior, going ballistic is always a good way to make lots of new BFFF.

An example of this can be found here.

Good on you Ohio State!!! You guys rock!!!

[SIZE="1"]via Yahoo!Sports[/SIZE]

Dom Tiberi, the sports director of WBNS-10TV in Columbus who has covered Ohio State football since the 1980s, lost his 21-year old daughter Maria, an OSU student, in a car crash on September 17.

After taking a short leave from work to mourn, Tiberi returned to Ohio Stadium to cover the Buckeyes’ victory over Wisconsin Saturday night, and as the players left the field following the win, each warmly greeted Tiberi with a hug.

The Buckeyes honored Maria with a moment of silence, [and] by adding her initials, “MT,” to the back of their helmets in last week’s dominant victory over Florida A&M.

Tiberi made his emotional return to the anchor desk last Thursday and tearfully thanked Urban Meyer and the Buckeye program for their outpouring of support.

Well done, Buckeyes, for a truly classy and heartwarming gesture.

When I think of the prospect of losing one of my children at such a tender age, I can't focus on that thought for long, it's so... unimaginably painful, like trying to stare at the sun. My mind reflexively turns away in self defense.

I feel very sad for him and his family. Kudos to the team, too.

Coyote Joins In 5K Run

[ATTACH]46029[/ATTACH]

[SIZE="1"]from RunnersWorld[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]By Hannah McGoldrick; Image by Marylin Aune[/SIZE]


The 5K at the Arizona AIA Cross Country State Championships last weekend featured a furry bandit.

A coyote jumped into the race at the 1.5-mile mark and ran alongside the race’s leader, Harvey Nelson, a senior at Catalina Foothills High School in Tucson. Trina Painter, cross country coach for Flagstaff High School, said the coyote ran alongside Nelson and another runner for about 50 meters before pulling off to return to the brush near the course.

“Everyone was thankful that nothing happened to anyone,” Painter said. “It was just so surreal.”

Karlene Nelson, Harvey Nelson’s mother, said she wasn’t near her son when the coyote joined in, but her sister Marylin Aune, who took the now-viral photograph (above), was there.

According to Karlene, Harvey didn’t realize the coyote was right next to him. Instead, he thought it was one of his competitors trying to pass him.

“It didn’t distract him,” she said. “He just kept running.”

Nelson held on to beat the coyote and the rest of the field, finishing first in 15:25.

His head was restrained in the car, so during all those rolls, it didn't snap around and break his neck. I'm surprised his brain didn't get literally scrambled though. I'd think flipping at that speed, his brain would turn to jello inside his skull.

There's probably some rule that they pick up all the debris to prevent others from hitting it and also wiping out. That would be a sucky job that would take a couple days. A debris field at least half a mile long and a hundred yards wide.

You'd need to do it systematically to make sure you got everything. Maybe set out cones and just go back and forth with a pickup truck and a couple of guys, moving the cones 10 feet each time you finish a row.

And then you have to replace the divots.

This doesn't really belong in "cool anything", it is decidedly uncool. What I'm talking about is throwing a ball. Or, rather the inability to throw a ball. Come on, now, it's a ball!!

I understand that some people can't throw a ball. In that situation why, WHY, would you ever agree to throw out the first pitch at a baseball game? In front of a huge crowd, on TV, even?

What makes it even worse is when it's a guy. Even worse than that, is when the person is a professional athlete.

Here's Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, throwing out the first pitch (with added commentary):

[YOUTUBE]YN8WRNkrYLI[/YOUTUBE]

Yeah, 'Fiddy' throws like a little girl.

Mark Wahlberg? Throws like a guy having a grand mal seizure...Carl Lewis? Throws like a little girl throwing with the wrong hand...Baba Booey? Throws like a little girl with no hands. I will bet, that somewhere in America is a little girl with no hands that throws better than Baba Booey.

[YOUTUBE]g8jVKoR2QB4[/YOUTUBE]

Has this ever happened:

MLB: "Would you like to throw out the first pitch?"

This should the thought pattern that occurs next:

Non-thrower: Uh-oh, I bet that involves throwing a ball. I can't throw a ball. I'll embarrass myself, and my friends. In front of a crowd. In front of a potentially huge crowd. In front of millions watching on tv.

Non-thrower: "I'll do it."

Now, when this all comes together, it's arranged well ahead of time. Many schedules have to be accommodated. What I'm getting at is that these folks have plenty of time to learn to throw a ball. Do they practice? No.

Dumbasses.
xoxoxoBruce • May 28, 2014 5:16 pm
Practice? Celebrity A practices, drills it close to the plate, gets on the evening news.
Celebrity B doesn't practice, drills the right field ball girl in the head, gets on the evening news all over the world, and on all the weekend sports wrap-ups, then goes viral on youtube with 73 billion hits.

xoB is right, Grav. I don't even have the TV on, or YouTube, only the radio, NPR not TMZ , and I've heard this story. As you can imagine, it's not really a story made for radio.... And yet, the throw was *so bad*, we're talking about it, talking about "Fiddy-cent" (I know it's spelled 50 cent, but the reporter even got the pronunciation right).

G.W. - dead center of the strike zone. I saw when he threw the first pitch for the World Series after 9/11. It's a very good story behind that pitch ("Mr. President, do not 'bounce' this pitch.", or something like that).

Nolan Ryan - 6 - 8 feet behind the batter? I call bullshit. Even when he's ninety, and in a wheelchair, Nolan Ryan's gonna put that ball across the plate. Verne Troyer outthrows Nolan Ryan? What planet was this on?

Heh, I just did a little reading on Mr. Ryan over at Wikipedia:

Ryan also ranks high on the list for four "negative" records; he ranks first all-time in walks allowed (2,795), first in wild pitches (277), third in losses (292—most in the post-1920 live-ball era), and ninth in hit batters (158).[1] Ryan is also one of two pitchers in MLB history to give up ten grand slam home runs, including one to Dann Howitt, the next-to-last batter Ryan faced in his career.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has a Hall of Fame Museum. They got some Indy 500 winning cars in there. Other famous/important race cars, too. Like the 1957 Corvette SS. With a body made of a magnesium alloy, the car is 900 lbs lighter than a standard 57 Vette. 307 hp engine. The thing about the museum is: They ain't afraid to drive 'em.

In 2011, they were showing off the 1911 Marmon Wasp that won the first Indy 500. It threw a rod. :eek: Yeah, they put it together again.

They took out the '57 Vette SS last weekend at the Brickyard Invitational to make a few show-off laps.

When it came to horsepower ratings they lied through their teeth. Sometimes high, but most often low, to con the frowning farts in the big offices. This was only two months before Detroit pulled out of factory racing entirely, because of some high profile deaths.

In the rest of the world they shrug and say it comes with the territory, and it's voluntary. But here, especially in the 50s, we moan, wail, and rent clothing, while looking for someone to blame.

xoxoxoBruce • Jun 13, 2014 7:08 pm
You're right, very little in common. But keep in mind none of the cars in the biggies like Sebring and Le Mans are stock models, every one is a purpose built racecar. The mad-men were in their own world and made it up as they went.

Duntov had been fighting an uphill battle with the executives since he took over Corvette. He wanted to build a real sports car and they didn't. He assembled a team of fellow engineers who were also racing enthusiasts, and worked on making cars that could win races. The strategy being winning would drives sales, and sales would drive public demand for cars from the dealer's showroom (or at least with help from the parts department), they could win races with.

That strategy worked eventually, in another 10 years they were winning both A and B production championships every year, but it was living in a minefield for Duntov. Every time he talked to the motor press he had to be careful. Of course he wanted to give the car magazines the best numbers he could, but his statements would make it back to the executive offices too.

So the interviews had a lot of, here's the numbers (wink-wink-nod-nod) and the writers would speculate what the real numbers were... in print. Then independent tests would pop up to confirm speculation.

Over at Ford, the T-bird had no mentor so that evolved into a "personal" car which is fine if that's what you want. The T-bird sold more cars and made more [strike]money[/strike] shareholder value than Corvette did for GM.

I'm glad Duntov won the fight against the executives, bean counters, and 4-door aficionados. :D

The NFL was worried that people wouldn't tune in this season because of the wife beaters on their payroll, but the fans don't seem to be too concerned about that. It's stuff like that horrible rule that will drive the fans away.

Ask anybody who doesn't know the intricacies of the rule to watch that play, and they will say he caught that pass.

So, Dez didn't have it in his control long enough for him to have enough time to have performed an act common to the game. even though he took 3 steps, and lunged. The overlap of his falling to the ground and the possession steps is what makes it NOT a catch. If he had hugged the ball to his body instead of reaching toward the goal line, maybe he could have kept it from moving more than slightly.

fucking shame.

It comes from the same place as politics. and religion.

respecting others' views, favorite teams, religious belief, etc comes from the same place too.

people that get all bent and froth at the mouth over their political OPINION, are likely to be the same way with respect to their rooting interest in sports.

In politics you vote with your vote. In sports, you vote with your dollar.

Don't like the mayor, let it be known, and vote him out, and you get another mayor.

Don't like the running back, let it be known, and don't buy tickets, and you'll get another rb.

Religion, sports, politics, they're all just a means of division. For whatever reason, humans seem to thrive on division.

Watch it again: Seahawks’ Kam Chancellor leaps over line – twice – on Panthers field-goal attempts

I swear there's a cool/funny sports photo at the link, two of them in fact, but I can't find a way to link to the animated gif and have it play here...

Aaaaannnnyhow. Kam Chancellor leapt over the offensive line to block a field goal attempt against the Carolina Panthers last week. He did it twice in a row. The first time, the field goal was no good but there was a Carolina penalty, so repeat the down. The second time Kam leapt over the O-line, tipped the ball and made it miss, but also tipped the kicker, so another do over. The third time, there was no high hurdle and the kick was good. But that is some dramatic athletic ability. Click the link, watch the gifs. Amazing.

WASHINGTON -- Someone once asked Jack Nicklaus's son, Jack Nicklaus, Jr., what his dad did, and a very young "Jackie" responded, "Nothing - he just plays golf."

Those 65 years of "nothing" earned him a Congressional Gold Medal, which was conferred upon the 18-Major-winning golfer in a ceremony Tuesday in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. Lawmakers cried, laughed, and applauded more boisterously than they could on almost any golf course in the country.

Sorry. The following link has the video of the 8-lateral touch-down play,
but you have to wait thru a booze commercial before you can watch it.

It is worth the wait.

However...

ACC suspends officials from Miami-Duke game; TD should not have counted
USA Today - Dan Wolken - Nov 1, 2015
The Atlantic Coast Conference acknowledged Sunday that Miami’s kickoff return touchdown
to beat Duke 30-27 should not have counted and that officials made four major errors during the last play.

Though the ACC is not overturning the result of the game, the league has suspended
both the on-field officiating crew and the two replay booth officials for two games.
. . .
The ACC determined that a Miami player’s knee was down before releasing one of the eight laterals
that allowed the play to happen, which was apparent both on video and in still pictures
that were being circulated on social media late Saturday night.

The ACC acknowledged that this call should have been overturned.
“If called, this would have ended the game,” the ACC said.
The ACC also said Miami should have been penalized for a player leaving the bench
and entering the field of play during a return. That penalty wouldn’t have impacted
the touchdown ruling because it should have been a dead ball foul.

The league said the flag for a block in the back that was picked up
— initially negating Miami’s touchdown before officials conferred —
was called correctly but that the referee didn’t properly communicate why the decision was made.

This is Dr. Tom Amberry.

[ATTACH]59987[/ATTACH]

Dr. Amberry was a podiatrist. That's not what made him notable, though I'm sure he was a fine doctor. No, Dr. Tom Amberry's notoriety comes from the fact that he once (in 1993) made 2,750 consecutive free-throws, at the age of 71. He said he could have made many more, but, the gym closed for the day and they ran him off.

That's quite a feat, 2,750 consecutive free-throws. Really, though, that's not what does it for me with ol' Dr. Tom. What gets me, is that he made 500 consecutive free-throws on 473 separate occasions!!

Amberry would go to the gym every day and shoot at least 500 free-throws, with the exception of Sundays.

He was 94.
