LFC’s Adam Lallana Misses Open Goal Vs. Besiktas In Europa League (Video)

Adam Lallana appeared to leaving his shooting cleats at home. Lallana missed the easiest of scoring chances Thursday in the second half of Liverpool’s UEFA Europa League round of 32 game Thursday. A mix-up between goalkeeper Cenk Gonen and defender Pedro Franco gifted Lallana an opportunity to score in the 49th minute, but the Liverpool midfielder inexplicably shot over the crossbar from just six yards out. Many believed Lallana is nearing his best form, given his performances in the Reds’ last two games. He set up Mario Balotelli’s game-winning goal in Liverpool’s win over Tottenham on Feb. 10 and scored the game-winner himself in t...

Craig Sager Returns From Illness To Interview Carmelo Anthony (Video)

Craig Sager’s back, and it’s like he never left. The colorful NBA sideline reporter did his first interview since being diagnosed with leukemia Sunday before the NBA All-Star Game. Sager interviewed Carmelo Anthony via satellite from Orlando, Fla., and even showed off his, well, interesting short suit. Sager said he hopes to be back full-time by March 1, and he’s been recovering thanks to support from the NBA community. Even Kevin Garnett, who famously told Sager to burn one of his crazy suits, checked in on the reporter every now and again. And even though Sager is itching to get back on the court, he’s still living life t...

Steelers’ James Harrison Lifts 135-Pound Barbell With One Hand (Video)

James Harrison came out of retirement to re-join the Pittsburgh Steelers in September. But will he come back for yet another season? After a quick trip to his Instagram page, that answer appears to be a resounding yes. The following is a video of the Pro Bowl linebacker — who’s 36, by the way — using one hand to hoist a 135-pound barbell over his head like it’s a small twig. That’s one scary man. Harrison’s Instagram account is a gold mine of impressive feats of strength. Another video shows him dominating the same exercise with a 115-pound barbell, while a frightful clip from last week captures him lifting two 15...

Cialis Commercial Parody Should Help Patriots With Deflated Balls (Video)

Help is on the way for those suffering from deflated balls. The folks over at Benstonium.com are taking full advantage of the “DeflateGate” mess, creating a new commercial parody on the same day ESPN reported a league investigation found 11 of the 12 balls the New England Patriots used in their 45-7 rout of the Indianapolis Colts were under-inflated. The rest of the sports world can go on debating what this actually means for Bill Belichick and the Pats — while trying not to giggle every time they say balls — but we’re going to go ahead and laugh at the crazy with these guys. Deflated balls won’t be a problem for the Pats anymore with the revolutionary drug

Dez Bryant, Malcolm Jenkins Go At It Before Cowboys-Eagles Game (Video)

In case you haven’t heard, Cowboys-Eagles is a pretty big rivalry. Add Dez Bryant’s refusal to back down from any fight whatsoever, and you’ve got yourself a pregame confrontation. During warmups before Sunday night’s NFC East showdown between Dallas and Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field, Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins had a few words for Bryant near midfield. The Cowboys wide receiver didn’t take kindly to these words, and the two spent the next several minutes saying mean things to each other that we probably can’t repeat on this website. The jawing went on for so long, in fact, that teammates from both sides had to separate Jenkins and Bryant several times, presumably to remind them that
