If you thought running with scissors was dangerous, wait until you get a load of trike drifting. These guys hooked up some homemade ‘big boy’ tricycles to a van, got the van up way above the speed limit and then all hell breaks loose. In some shots you can even see oncoming cars. We loved [...]

You might think highly-recruited high school football player Cassanova McKinzy of Birmingham, Ala. announced that he would attend Auburn University this fall because he wanted to one day be like former Tigers star, and No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick, Cam Newton. Nope. McKinzy chose Auburn because Clemson “had no Chick-fil-A on campus,” as the [...]

Somehow, one fan was able to evade all authority figures during the bottom of the ninth at last Friday's game between the Houston Astros and the New York Mets.

I'm guessing the fan served as a distraction to the Astros - the home team lost 6-4.
