UConn wins NCAA Women's Championship: A dominant UConn team wins its 8th national championship with a 33 point margin of victory. Coach Geno Auriemma tied legendary Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt for most titles. Freshman Breanna Stewart looks like a force to be reckoned with for years to come.

Would You Rather Win Silver Or Bronze? (Be Careful What You Wish For): "If you set aside the happy people who win gold and look only at the people who come in second and third, it's the men and women with bronze medals who invariably look happier than the athletes who won silver."

Yankees belt three grand slams in a single game: The first time this has ever happened. They blew out the hapless A's 22 to 9.

I am still angry that Monica Seles' attacker more or less seemed to get away with it.

He doesn't have the personnel evaluation skills to build an team. It's a shame he doesn't find some other part of his empire to ruin for a while.
This is actually exactly how incompetence works. The same skills you need to be good at something are the same skills you need in order to judge if somebody else is good at that thing. Jones is a good businessman and the boss of the Cowboys so he figures he must be good at football as he is at business and nobody can tell him otherwise. So, he sucks at football, he can't tell he sucks at football, and yet he believes he's good at football and is surrounded by sycophants that tell him he's good at football. Its a cycle only death can break.

Just came here to share that same link. It is, indeed, the coolest baseball gif of all time.

An example of Metafilter doing sports well, in reference to Segura.

This is ludicrous. Goats don't even like baseball. They prefer parkour.
Though they make great hecklers too.

No, it will only be fucking hilarious if thousands of innocent people in South Korea are destroyed and the US finds themselves involved in another conflict it can't afford to be in.
For what its worth, this would be a huge tactical mistake for N. Korea just based on how many Chinese nationals are in S. Korea. I can't imagine China would watch thousands of their citizens get murdered without some sort of swift and horrible retribution. Just out of enlightened self-interest, N. Korea should probably avoid invoking the wrath of their enormous neighbor.
I'm living out here in Hawaii and, if N. Korea has nukes, surely they are trained directly on me. The reason we don't worry about that out here is because N. Korea has demonstrated, time and again, that they are not serious about following through on their threats. It would be national suicide for them to attack S. Korea, Honolulu, Austin or especially Foxboro because, very frankly, the bombs that Tom Brady throws are infinitely more powerful than the bombs N. Korea possesses.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you The American Athletic Conference.

Presumably the uproar isn't what got him fired so much as the whole physical and verbal abuse thing? I mean, on paper at least.

So it was a bad landing combined with forward momentum. Holy cats. I am stunned that a human can leap with more force than his bones can handle. I suspect this is something that somebody who wasn't in peak athletic shape would have to ever worry about. Amazing. Thank you for the analysis!

Reading the description of Mr. Ware's injury makes me cringe. I don't think there is anything that would make me watch the video. Can anyone explain how this injury was possible? Just a bad landing or a combined twist and landing? It reads like a freak accident.
Best thought to this unfortunate young man and sincere hope that he beats the odds and recovers 100%.

We all laugh at this, but if somebody had asked Greg Maddux how he felt about girls (or just people in general) before he joined MLB, think of how many lives would have been spared.

Obligatory link to facts about McDonalds Coffee Case. Obligatory statement about know the facts. That's all I got.
That obligation out of the way, there are lawsuits that sound frivolous and lawsuits that actually are frivolous and sometimes those two sets of lawsuits overlap. I will be very curious to see what the court system does with this case. Based on what I've read in the articles (which may or may not be 100% accurate), it seems pretty clear that this event falls under the "damn shame that it happened, but not really anybody's fault" category.

Well said, Hugh. Proving once again that Washington fans are pretty classy, even if the team owner is not.

SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle
I couldn't watch that the whole way through because the tears of laughter quite literally became too much to see through. Will return to it later and save it for when I need a pick-me-up. Hopefully, YouTube will never improve their tech support for their auto-translate feature.
