“There’s the sleeper! Get him!”

Personally, I don’t know how anyone can be bored at a tennis match.  From the epic meltdowns to the crazy outfits and trick shots, even the longest tennis match in the world is a fascinating, edge-of-the-seat experience for me.  Maybe it’s just me, and maybe I’m just a tennis fan at heart.  However, a fan at the Japan Open wasn’t quite as lucky.  During a match between Marco Chiudinelli and Janko Tipsarevic, Chiudinelli noticed a sleeping fan near the court and had Tipsarevic do something about it.  The 9th rank tennis player in the world hit a sleeping fan with a thrown tennis ball, to the delight of pretty much everyone ever.

Why was the fan such a distraction to Chiudinelli?  Who knows and honestly, does it matter?  Tipsarevic’s response was brilliantly ad-libbed, and perfectly executed.  It’s just a shame there wasn’t a better camera angle to see the fan getting bonked by the lobbed tennis ball like an unaware dog.

It’s easy to take things for granted when you work with inflammable materials all day long.  So many work places feature chemicals that could potentially be a fire hazard, and that’s not even considering the massive amounts of gas cans, old paint, oil, and other fire-worthy chemicals around the home.  Even the experts aren’t immune to accidents.

The Fox Network is no stranger to courting controversy.  Indeed, one of their star show is Family Guy, a show about a baby trying to murder its mother and conquer the world that features an alcoholic dog, a moron, a shrew, terrible kids, and a whole town full of weirdos, misanthropes, and other repugnant sorts [...]

Once upon a time, Bobby Knight and his disciples ruled the college basketball world.  They were rude and dismissive to reporters and students, and physically violent and mentally abusive towards players.  In particular, Knight was legendary for this, throwing chairs, grabbing players, threatening to whip players, calling them every name in the book, berating anyone [...]

College basketball is a strange place.  Given the multiple amounts of games, especially during the NCAA Tournament, means there’s a lot of time to fill.  Pregame shows, postgame wrap-ups, halftime shows… they all need talking heads.  Hence, you get some guys who make bad jokes, such as during the pregame show for the Miami versus [...]

Tiny Robert Morris University in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, doesn’t have a storied basketball history.  In fact, the school has only one NIT win in their college’s history, but it’s a doozy.  Last night in the opening round of the National Invitational Tournament, Robert Morris upset the top-seeded University of Kentucky 59-57.  That’s Robert Morris’s first [...]
