Football

No, this isn't an episode of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' that was left on the cutting room floor. It's actually a father receiving the best gift of his life -- tickets to a championship football game. With the holiday season winding down its nice to remember the little things in life: family, sports, and the fact that fedoras only look appealing on certain people.

This Thanksgiving was kind of a disaster for pro football fans. Fans of the Jets could only watch in horror as their beloved team gave up three touchdowns in about a minute of game time. On the other hand, at least it wasn't the Lions/Texans game, where infamous quarterback Ndamukong Suh, who last year allegedly stomped on a Green Bay Packers player, went one better and kicked the Houston Texans'

We met Samantha Gordon last week, when a highlight video of the nine-year-old dominating her otherwise all-boy football league went viral. The folks at NFL GameDay were just as blown away as we were with her smooth moves, and invited her to be on Sunday's show.

A nine-year-old Utah girl is making headlines (see above) for her amazing skill at football.

So this video might not make you cry, but the story probably will. Michael Ferns, a senior at St. Clairsville High in Clairsville, OH, gave up a touchdown one yard from the end zone so that his teammate, Logan Thompson, whose father died two days before, could score instead.

There's a lot of argument over this anonymous clip. Not about the guy doing a forward flip right over the person about to tackle him: That's obviously a display of athleticism. No, some people think it was "staged" and others argue it happened spontaneously...

It's been a pretty rough year for the New Orleans Saints. Their head coach, Sean Payton, was suspended for the season for his role in the bounty-gate scandal and the team that went 13-3 in 2011 started the 2012 campaign 0-4.

When Tammy Faile and her two children were chosen as the military family of the game for South Carolina's match up Saturday against the University of Georgia, they probably expected some sort of message from their husband and father Sgt. First Class Scott Faile, who is stationed in South Korea. And that's what they got at halftime, a video message on the University of South Carolina’s Williams-Bri

Liam Neeson is a man who loves danger, which would explain why he went on 'Sportscenter' despite having no knowledge of football. The best part is when he asks to start over (they're live), or maybe it's when he drops an s-bomb, or maybe it's when he admits he's only seen two football games in his life...

Atlanta Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud is clearly a fan of the movie 'Super Troopers.' In the cult comedy, one of the chemically-altered cops wins a bet by managing to say the word "meow" ten times while writing up a motorist for a moving violation. During an interview with ESPN, DeCould tops that by meowing 14 times. SportsCenter anchor Bram Weinstein either has no idea what is going on o

There is a consensus developing that if NFL commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't bring back the striking referees soon, folks are going to stop watching football because the replacement refs have been so stunningly horrible. However, we're pretty sure this isn't true. In fact, the awfulness of the scab refs has now become part what makes the NFL so entertaining. (Granted, Green Bay fans or anybody w

Sure, high schoolers can be cruel sometimes. But every now and then, young people will rally around someone who's different and give them the support they need. Students at Linden High School in Michigan, for example, have appointed a senior with special needs as the school's football team manager.

Woah boy. Even if you could not give one fraction of an iota of a care about football, you probably still heard about the game last night (thanks, Facebook!). To deal, we just imagined old-timey Keystone Kops music playing underneath the whole thing. Thankfully other people dealt with the insanity by making funny memes. Here are some of the best.

We imagine playing a game of football with Brian Cushing would be a lot like playing a game of football with Gary Busey -- intimidating, entertaining and also where's our asthma medication?

Now here's a "video bomb" that is genuinely impressive. This fellow gets on the field post-game, AND he manages to get right behind the professional athletes being interviewed on network camera. Not only that, he lurks creepily behind them for at least two minutes.
