By the end of this video, you will be well aware of with whom jiggy has been gotten — in the spirit of Top 21 Frisbee Trick Shots and Johnny Mac Trick Shot Quarterback comes Nick DiChiara Long Snap Trick Shot Video, wherein the Nick DiChiara of the BB&N High School Class of 2012 long-snaps a football to close lockers, block lay-ups and throw out a guy stealing third.

The full court shot (pictured above) is especially impressive. The full video, courtesy of DiChiara himself, is after the jump.

“Top 21 Frisbee Trick Shots | Brodie Smith” chronicles the 21 best frisbee trick shots of Brodie Smith and … well, that’s what it is. I guess there was no point in putting “we added a loud beat over the clips to help drown out everybody going OOOOHHHHHHHHHH every time a shot worked”.

Anyway, I’m with the YouTube commenters who feel that #6 (SMACK SHOT) is the best on the list because of its impossible difficulty, although #8 (NO LOOK SHOT) earns points for the guy who forgets they’re doing trick shots and tries to catch it at the last minute. The whole video earns bonus points with me for Brodie’s amazing mission statement, which can only come from a guy named “Brodie”:

1 year ago I decided to upload a video of me throwing frisbees into trashcans in hopes of bringing more attention to Ultimate Frisbee.

Sometimes sports news has nothing to do with Playboy parties and gossipy rumors or Tebowing or who’s psychic told them to divorce who — sometimes sports news is “this guy is awesome at sports”. Take, for example, Philadelphia 76er Andre Iguodala’s amazing circus shot from Monday night’s game against the Lakers.

Seriously, look at this:

I left the basket in the upper righthand corner so you could see what he’s working with. This is more or less the best shot I ever made by complete accident f**king up a game of Horse, and I applaud him for it.

Now let’s see him do it again!

One of my guiltiest white nerd pleasures is billiards, as I played a lot growing up and learned how to hustle at an early age. Now it works out great for playing drunks for free shots, so I’m sort of glad that I was allowed into pool halls at 11-years old. But I’m also especially fond of trick shots, because, again, I’m a nerd and easily impressed by stuff. Factor in my appreciation for attractive blonde women and today’s pool trick shot video is especially great.

In the video you’re about to watch and share with all of your friends, an unnamed billiards guy (player?) receives assistance from an attractive young lady as he performs trick shots around her on the table. It’s pretty impressive that the balls never touch her, which I assume is not the case at her other gigs. But I like to imagine that when they were done filming he asked her if she’d like to get some drinks and she laughed and went home with someone who doesn’t play billiards.

Soccer is extremely bipolar. There’s no even, steady feeling in soccer. The spectrum goes from complete indifference (“soccer isn’t a sport”, “nobody likes soccer” etc.) to full-on passionate fury (throwing cups of vomit and urine onto opposing fans, running onto the field to commit religious hate crimes), and that’s not just for the game itself — it is a spectrum that includes fan reactions. Nobody sees a controversial soccer moment and says “oh, okay, that weird thing happened”. It’s either “meh who cares” or “THIS [racial slur] MUST BE BEHEADED AT DAWN”.

Case in point: During Sunday’s preseason exhibition game (or “friendly”) between the LA Galaxy and Machester City, star striker (and Iron Chef) Mario Balotelli was one-on-one with the goalkeeper. If he moved his leg slightly, his team would go up 2-0. Instead of kicking it, he started shuffle-stepping and tried to backheel the ball in. It dribbled out of bounds harmlessly and ended as a goal kick for the MLS side.

Now, my initial reaction is to type “lol” in lowercase and think he looked like a dummy. A second watch reveals that he thought he heard a whistle, so he was just screwing around. Neither of those reactions were shared by The Soccer Community, be they on the Internet, playing or calling the game. Their reactions were “this man is a disgrace to humanity” and “BLEARGHHH”. Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini was so enraged by Balotelli’s Tony Hawk Pro Shot that he immediately took him out and started yelling. The crowd booed. The announcers said YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN’ ME and said fans of both teams were disappointed.

At once, one of the least important looking things I’ve ever seen became a furious debate. Should I not care, or care so much it boils my blood? I can’t pick a side, so I’m opening it up to you. If you read this and have an opinion, leave a comment. Preseason miscommunication or treason? Let me know.
