Scoreboard's ill-placed "On" button at last reachable

Written by Administrator | 29 November 2009



Kansas State guard Denis Clemente doesn't seem to care about the plight of ceiling-hung arena scoreboards.  They just dangle there passively, informing you to no end, then jokesters like this guy come along and exploit their superior ball-bouncing properties. You know you just voided the warranty on that thing, right Denis?  It's all good, D-Clem, at least you nailed it on your first attempt.  This was your first attempt...right Denis??

Nate Robinson Goes Both Ways

Written by Administrator | 21 November 2009



If we had an award called the Ridiculousies™, this mental malfunction might be a top nominee.  Knick Nate Robinson gets cute and heaves a quarter-ending three - at his own basket.  And nails it.  Buzzer had just gone off so it didn't count, but really!?  Yes, the two teams involved in this game are a combined 3-22.  But...really?!  Robinson's post-game sound byte: "My bad."  Jesus, Nate.  You know what, go stand in the corner. GO!

Trickery in Tandem

Written by Administrator | 21 November 2009



People are always building a better mousetrap in every industry, and free kicks are no exception.  It's estimated there've been nearly twenty-two trillion of these attempts in history, but not until these two MacGyvers stepped on the field have we seen this.  It's nice to see players collaborate so well; if these two aren't BFFs yet, well...they oughtta be.

Helicopter Impression - You're Doing It Right

Written by Administrator | 20 November 2009



Start practicing your multiples of 180.  The internets apparently have no clue what we're looking at here - a 360?  A 540?  A 720?  A Boeing 747?  The devil's in the details, and the slow-mo at 0:20 should be the judge and jury on this bad boy.  So who is this spinning top?  Dude's name is TJ Fontenete, and his streetball name is "Air Up There".  Big Kevin Bacon fan I guess.

Ball in Flight, Goalie in Despair: The Story of This Arbitrarily-Origined Video

Written by Administrator | 17 November 2009



Well that's just a solid boot right there.  Anyone up for petitioning FIFA with us to let goals scored from beyond midfield count for two points?  No?  No takers?  Really?  You know what, let's just leave the rules as they are, how's that sound?  This way you'll never have to leave your comfort zone.  Good?  Yeah.  It's all about you.

Puck Goes For a Ride; Goalie Cries, Drinks

Written by Administrator | 16 November 2009



Some say Robbie Binz was lucky.  We here at The Ridiculous Shots Foundation call him efficient.  Watch his uber-distant clearing shot eat net in an "I-Totally-Meant-To-Do-That" moment for the ages.

Olson Drains it, immediately writes thank-you card

Written by Administrator | 15 November 2009




Look, you're probably a very nice person and all, but let's face it: you can't hit a hole-in-one.  Actually neither could Leif Olson if he didn't get the wildly improbably deflection off the already on-the-green-lying ball of his course partner.  One might argue the ridiculous shot here was actually made by the sedentary Titleist and not Olson.  When Jameer Nelson lofts it up to Dwight Howard, do they share credit equally? Did either Tinkers, Evers, or Chance vie for approbation supremacy?  These and no other philisophical questions can be found by clicking the Refresh button on your browser.

That dumbfounded individual standing in front of the goal?  That's actually supposed to be a goalie!  No, seriously! This one was featured on our sister site omgthatsthebestfrigginshotiveeverseen.com (might be down for maintenance).   Anyone that responds with "i culd do that" will be banned from visiting this site again.  Just kidding, we don't get repeat visitors!

Taking Pong to the Next, Next, Next Level

Written by Administrator | 14 November 2009



In a time-lapse video titled "Millennium Pong", some ambitious alcoholics set up a quadruple-decker tribute to the game of beer pong.  It's nice to see this kind of professionalism in a sport that is often maligned for being brutish or overly simplistic.  Good work, kids: keeping it classy, one thousand cups at a time.  The real winner in this particular game?  Every cab company in a ten-mile radius.

Flame Shooters

Written by Administrator | 10 November 2009



Nearly five-hundred Brits* die annually in house fires.  And amongst them, these kids nearly had the honor of being the coolest!!  While we don't endorse this kind of activity, if you already did it and filmed it, it'd be a digital waste to not upload it.  Shorty fire burning on the pong table...wooo-OHHH!

*Couldn't quickly find US stats.  Google fail.
