This clip, courtesy of Cameron Smith over at Prep Rally, features a high school running back getting flipped, landing on his feet and running it on for a touchdown. It’s an amazing play, but it also makes our Internet-dar go WOOP WOOP WOOP, so here’s a quick rundown of why it could be real, and why it probably isn’t.

It’s real! It’s not such a stretch. We’ve seen something similar happen on a professional level, so if you take the athleticism of one player and pit it against the helpless high school play of everybody else, it could happen all the time. One guy who’s kinda good at gymnastics can set the curve for everybody. Plus, I wouldn’t want to think that guy grunting REYEAHH TOUCHDOWN, DARS TOUCHDOWNNN at the end is lying to me.

It’s fake! Come on, really? The play looks all well and good, but look at everyone else on the field. They look like extras playing “football guys” in a Beyonce-themed play on ‘Glee’. People just aimlessly block and move out of view and fall down aimlessly so we don’t miss anything. To add to the mystery, nobody can identify the players or the teams on the field. It could be because they’re terrible football players, but … yeah, it’s not on the level.

Welp, time to pack it up, UFC and Strikeforce, because there’s a new breed of fighter out there and his name is Zhang Feng. The 23-year old man, hailing from parts unknown (or China, if you believe him over me), recently put on a little fighting exhibition for China News, and quite frankly I am terrified of the results. It seems, if a YouTube video is to be believed, that Feng has mastered the Street Fighter art of Hadouken, or energy blast punches to us common folk.

Feng, however, calls his incredibly unique talent the “Shaolin Sunshine Hand”, which upon first glance is much weaker than the Buddhist Palm, but I suppose all mystical martial artists need to start somewhere. For this news interview, Feng lined up 15 candles, lit them and invited two journalists to punch at them and see if they could put any of the flames out. The woman could not and the man only managed to put out one flame. When it came Feng’s turn, he punched until every candle was extinguished.

Is he a great, big phony? Or is he the most powerful warrior on the face of the Earth?

I still think Pacquiao would’ve won that fight if he hadn’t used a cross to murder a gay guy during the pride parade.

Last week we announced (exclusively, I’m going to claim) that somewhat-socialite Kim Kardashian had gotten engaged to New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries, a guy with the same name as her mother. A few days later, we didn’t report that Kim’s fantastic engagement ring looked a heck of a lot like the one she bought a few years ago, when she was trying to convince people that she was getting married to Reggie Bush. Well, now it may shock you to find out that Kim is pregnant, and the story is only available in OK!

Which is weird, because I thought the story would only be available in Not OK. Here’s analysis from E!, and an article titled “So True? So False? Is Kim Kardashian Pregnant?” because E! lets iCarly write all of their headlines.

The shocker was delivered via OK! magazine—which blares on its new Kim-centric cover: “I’m Having a Baby!”—and features quotes from an unnamed “pal” saying, “Kim always thought she’d have at least one or two kids by now, so she’s absolutely in a hurry…Her friends are even taking bets on whether it will be a boy or a girl.”

So is she really having a baby? We’ve spoken to our very own Kardashian insider (someone extemely close to the family, if you catch our drift) and we’re proclaiming the Kim-with-child story to be…

So false!

I proclaim this piece to be….

So informative!

If Kim is really pregnant, good for her, and I know exactly what I’m going to get her for her baby shower. A set of dish rags. Wait, did you think that was the set up for a joke? Dish rags are great, and they come in handy when you need to wipe things up in the kitchen. Also, for a woman with a fake face and a fake ass who stars on a fake TV show about her fake family and lies about literally everything that happens in her life (I don’t have a sex tape, Ray J’s lying!, etc.) and is fake pregnant and fake engaged to a guy who plays for a fake NBA team, dish rags are real, and might send her into an existential psychosis.

Or, you know, she could use them to wipe up in the kitchen.

Well…no. This is actually a concept design created by Eric Epp, a graphic designer from Niagra with a little too much time on his hands. That said, this encapsulates some of the design elements revealed by the Buffalo Bills organization: keeping the current Bills logo, but changing from red helmets to white with a new overalll uniform design. Epp brings back the white shoes, with red trim, and a classic numeral set with rounded player name letters.

The numbers are the interesting thing here: we’ve seen most NFL teams designing their own sets of numerals. The Jaguars, Cardinals, Lions and Chargers all included distinct-looking numerals with their new uniforms. That distinction makes them eligible for trademarking, a proprietary measure that gives the NFL and its teams more control over their product. Expect the Bills to unveil a design similar to Epp’s creation here, but with goofier-looking numbers on the jersey.

Apropos of almost nothing, I still owe Pete Connolly an a capella tribute to the Buffalo Bills. Any help you guys could give me with the lyrics would be appreciated in the comments.

I’m probably not the only one that’s paranoid about buying tickets to sporting events online. Though I’ve done it a handful of times and not been burned by it, surely some people have. One such gentleman did get the shaft when a buyer reneged on a deal to buy his tickets for an undisclosed sporting event.

The auction had ended at 10:00am and by 5:00pm she still hadn’t responded to my emails trying to organize the exchange. Finally, at 9:30pm, I got a one-liner email: “I overbid and my husband won’t let me buy these. Sorry and enjoy the game! :)”

I first tried explaining that I wouldn’t have the time to resell the tickets (I already got turned down by the losing bidders). She said, “… that’s not my problem. It’s eBay, not a car dealership. I can back out if I want.” I still don’t understand the car dealership reference.

Instead of sulking and taking the loss, the guy fought fire with fire and pulled a scam of his own, and then shared the tale of his “conquest” on Reddit. You can read it over there; I won’t ruin the ending for you, but I’ll be curious to see what happens to the guy that basically confessed to pulling a scam on eBay. Hopefully he’ll get some kind of reward, but that broad–provided all of this actually happened–totally had it coming.
