Friday Awards

I've thought of a new section in the blog that will address funny and terrible moments in the sporting world from each week. (I need a name for this section and am currently accepting suggestions). So here we go with the inaugural ridiculous moments in sports from No Offense.....

Coolest youtube video:
Perfect Shot
These kids tried to throw a basketball from Texas A&M's stadium's second level, decided to go up another level and then sank the shot. These fools were invited onto ESPN to talk about their video.
No Offense......but the video looks fake and he forgot to call bank on the shot.

Coolest dream scenario come true:
Drunk Russian Goal
During a Russian soccer league match and as one team lines up for a penalty kick, a drunken fan runs onto the field and blasts the ball past a stunned goalie and then runs and celebrates the goal.
No Offense....but was it worth having the KGB "break you like mule"? Also tell your slightly slower friend to stay in the stands next time as it looks like he would follow you anywhere (no homo....).

Freak injury of the week:
Derrick Lee injures neck
Are the Chicago Cubs truly cursed? Second baseman Jeff Baker hit a two-run, walk-off homerun against San Fransico Giant's closer Brian Wilson. After first baseman Derrick Lee crossed the plate with the tying run he was slapped on the helmet by teammate and reliever Angel Guzman. Lee has had neck and back spasms all year and aggravated the injury when Guzman slapped his helmet.
No Offense......But John Madden once said, "You know, there's a rule in sports. Don't do anything great if you can't handle the congratulations." This is almost as lame as Gus Frerotte injury his neck after head butting a wall in celebration.
*Runner up goes to Marion Barber's blown tire quad injury against the Giants Sunday night.

Moment most deserving of cuss words:
Lefty Shoots 8 at 14th
Sitting at 1-under par and after hitting a great tee shot at the 14th hole, Lefty put his approach into a bunker short of the green. From there he pitched it over the green and into the rough behind the hole. From their he pitched it back into the same trap from before. After that he failed to get it out of the trap. After finally getting the ball on the green he 2-putted for an eight and finished the day at 3-over.
No Offense....but as bad of a hole was for Lefty(almost excruciating to watch), Sportscenter anchor Robert Flores made a great call of this sequence on Sportcenter's Not Top Ten alluding to this sequence from Caddyshack.
Spalding Smails: Turds.
Judge Smails: Spaulding! How many times have I spoken to you about your language?
Spalding Smails: Sorry grandpa I forgot.
*Takes another whack...
Spalding Smails: Double turds.
Judge Smails: Spaulding!


Most devastating injury/injuries of the week:
The Philadelphia Eagles are without QB Donovan McNabb, RB Brian Westbrook and WR DeSean Jackson on offense and lost MLB Stewart Bradley for an extended period of time, driving them to work-out Jeremiah Trotter?
No Offense....but with a cupcake game against Kansas City this week and an early bye week next week, leave Trotter's fossilized-self at home and get some cajones for this week (I hate the Eagles and almost all Philadelphia teams in case you didn't know and I'm not ashamed to be biased).

That's it for the first-time-around. Let me know what you think of this section/idea and please feel free to spitball more ideas in the comments section.
