It might have been silly to think the coaches would collude to tie before the game. Instead, the Raiders, at least, kept playing for the win, and Staley’s defense was helpless to stop Josh Jacobs, whose 10-yard run on a third down got the Raiders into field goal range in the final minute of overtime. It was the least-satisfying game-winning field goal ever, but it was a night we’ll never forget. Some football players can also crack jokes and make people laugh. Some of the funniest footballers on earth are known for their humorous posts on social media or hilarious quotes during press interviews. They are often joyful during training sessions and off the pitch, causing laughter among their teammates.
However, it did not stop them from eventually defeating the Africans 3-0. At John Terry's request they substituted their club captain in the 26th minute of his final game. It's the footballing equivalent of having a 'Live, Laugh, Love' cushion in your house.
However, before all that came his unforgettable reaction to receiving a red card. If his radical response is not enough, factor in the referee's comic tumble and Nigel Winterburn's infamous flinch. Sadly for Khalid Askri, his side eventually lost the shootout by a single goal.
What makes this a perfect Rory moment is that he didn’t. Scheffler birdied 14 and 15 immediately afterward and basically walked to victory. He had birdies on the first, third, seventh, and eighth holes; a chip-in on the 10th; an eagle on the 13th. As Scheffler and Smith struggled to stay at even par, McIlroy went and posted 7-under through 17 holes. He was just three off the lead when he went bunker to bunker on the 18th, a seemingly fizzled-out end to an otherworldly Sunday run.
A video of a female Brazil fan who went viral for using a man’s phone to do makeup during the game also found a place on the thread. Badr’s last match was appropriately chaotic. He dominated early against Overeem before fading late, allowing the former UFC stalwart to make a comeback. In the ring afterward, Badr interrupted a stare down between Overeem and reigning GLORY heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven to casually inform the crowd that he was, well, likely done.
Two batters later, Bryce Harper hit a two-run home run. The plunking may have left a bruise, but it also made Murphy an overnight sex symbol. Things have changed in the three seasons since Tom Brady migrated south for the winter of his career. The Pats are no longer the monolith that blot out the sun; they’re firmly average. In 2021, they backed into the playoffs only to be embarrassed by a team they used to routinely embarrass. In 2022, they appear headed to a below-.500 finish thanks to the Matt Patricia–Joe Judge brain trust, a half-dozen Mac Jones temper tantrums, and Bill Belichick’s nepo babies leading the defense.
MJ calls Magic “old dog” and challenges him to a game of one-on-one, turning the Lakers legend into a squealing kid. I can hardly wrap my head around how improbable this season was. I was happy just to see Pujols don the birds on the bat again; I never imagined that he’d inspire the same fear in pitchers or the Funny Football Moments collective anticipation in fans that he did more than a decade ago. In life and in sports, just because something makes for a great story doesn’t mean that it will happen. But in 2022, Albert Pujols reminded us that it can. The state of Hawaii has almost as much, if not more, love for Alo as Sooners fans do.
Immediately after Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers successfully threw a Hail Mary at the end of the team's Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions, everybody was left stunned. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown easily had the best touchdown celebration of the year during his team's Week 13 blowout of the Indianapolis Colts. He was flagged and fined, but it must have been so worth it. It wasn't the most memorable NFL season when it came to the quality of play.
And the Tar Heels will forever get to cherish sending Duke’s iconic leader-hero-god-king into retirement on the sport’s biggest stage. Because in 2022, at the Olympics and beyond, enjoying sports meant making incessant moral compromises with the ethical quandaries that invaded our courts, rinks, and fields. This was the year that the men’s World Cup delivered its most entertaining product ever, capped by the best final of all time—against the backdrop of corruption and human rights violations. This was the year that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens fell short in their final inclusion on the writers’ Hall of Fame ballots.
Can't believe yer da kicked a hole through the TV after watching this. Just when your university fund was recovering from the Moyes banner as well. A Twitter user compiled a few hilarious moments from the recently concluded FIFA World Cup 2022 and it is sure to take you on a laughter ride. In October, the now 38-year-old Moroccan Dutchman with the nicknames “Golden Boy” and “Bad Boy” strongly suggested that he would retire after a unanimous-decision loss to fellow combat sports legend Alistair Overeem.
