Happy October 19th! Season 4 of NBC’s woefully-undersupported-by-anyone-without-a-Tumblr ‘Community’ begins tonight!

To celebrate, this week’s Sports On TV column looks back at the 20 greatest sports moments from the show’s first three seasons. It’s a confusing mass of spaceships and ‘Glee’ slams and paintball epics, and it’s absolutely worth revisiting and celebrating.

Here’s the best way to enjoy tonight’s premiere: read this column. Click the like button. Share it on Reddit or Facebook or Tumblr (especially Tumblr). Drop a comment in the comments section about your favorite episodes, moments, quotes and character pairings. Come up with a fun name for them (suggestion: StarPelt). Flip through the 20 greatest sports moments dozens of times over the next few hours. Then, totally forget that ‘Community’ actually comes on television and decide to watch it on Hulu tomorrow morning. Because guess what? That’s the only way ‘Community’ has ever worked.

Please enjoy ‘Community’s’ 20 Greatest, Streets Ahead Sports Moments.

Good news for those of you sick of playing foosball without the snobbish component of European luxury. One Dutch design firm has just released a series of luxury foosball tables. Titled simply “11,” each table takes 12 weeks to hand-produce and will run you 48,000 euros (roughly $68,550 USD). I don’t know if that includes shipping.

From the creators’ web site:

11’s sweeping curves reflect the beauty and grandeur of today’s modern stadiums, while its atmospheric lighting and chromed metal players capture the excitement and drama of a classic sporting encounter.

Each individually numbered table is meticulously hand-finished to the very highest standards by skilled European craftsmen.

It keeps score for you and, if you’re having a slow day, you could probably bathe in it as well.

This thing is way too fancy for my place, but I know what big spenders you guys are, so just consider this “for your information.” And if you’re looking for something a bit cheaper, here‘s a $3,000 ping pong table that might float your boat. Yes, I know it’s called table tennis, but I’m going to call it a table tennis table. Do you call your mother a whore whore?
