Gregg Popovich sideline interview consists of brief discussion about 'turnovers' (Video)

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is known for his abrupt sideline interviews, and he provided another perfect example during the break at the end of the first quarter of Saturday night's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

As Popovich summed it up, the poor first quarter performance by the Spurs was all about "turnovers".

Angel Pagan hits walkoff inside-the-park home run (Video)

A walkoff home run is not unusual in major league baseball. A walkoff inside-the-park home run, however, is extremely rare.

However, San Francisco Giants center fielder Angel Pagan was able to pull off Saturday night. With one on and one out in the bottom of the tenth, down 5-4 at home to the Colorado Rockies, Pagan hit a fly ball to deep right center at AT&T Park that he turned into an inside-the-park home run to give the Giants a walkoff 6-5 victory.



Fans of the "Killer P's" must be loving this.

Heath Bell makes terrible dive while attempting to field bunt (Video)

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Heath Bell is not accustomed to fielding bunts. This became painfully obvious after his attempt to field a bunt by San Diego Padres batter Will Venable during the ninth inning of Friday night's game, as Bell's dive was terribly late and really ugly.

Venable's bunt was placed perfectly between the pitcher's mound and the first base line, and even if Bell's dive was successful, it's unlikely he would have recovered in time to make a throw to first. Fortunately, Bell did recover in time to finish off the inning and get the save in the 5-2 D-backs victory.

Dwyane Wade delivers flying elbow to Lance Stephenson's head (Video)

Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade delivered flying elbow to the head of Indiana Pacers guard Lance Stephenson, and was not called for a foul, during the fourth quarter of Friday night's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Was it an accident, or was it a cheap shot? You be the judge:



TNT announcers Marv Albert and Reggie Miller didn't think it was intentional, but we would have to disagree. It looked like there was plenty of room for Wade to maneuver around Stephenson without jumping up and throwing an elbow to Stephenson's head as he ran by. Plus, Wade has been known for throwing around some cheap shots before. We'll see what the NBA thinks.

Umpire Angel Hernandez blows another call, Hawk Harrelson rightfully goes nuts (Video)

Another day, another blown call by MLB umpire Angel Hernandez at a critical juncture in a game.

Friday night at U.S. Cellular Field, the Chicago White Sox were tied 3-3 with the visiting Miami Marlins and had loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning. White Sox batter Alex Rios hit a ground ball to shortstop and the Marlins turned the 6-4-3 double play. Unfortunately, it was obvious to everyone watching, especially White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson, that Rios beat the throw to first base. Not only should Rios should have been called safe, but the White Sox would have won the game with the runner from third coming home on the play.

Harrelson, who is known for being a bit of a White Sox homer with his announcing style, was justifiably outraged after the blown call from Hernandez, who cost the Athletics a game earlier this month after blowing a home run call.

Fortunately, however, the White Sox were able to overcome the bad call and win the game in the bottom of the 11th inning, so it didn't cost them the game. However, it's just another example to show Bud Selig to justify the expansion of instant replay, which clearly can't come fast enough. And how bad does Hernandez have to be before MLB gives him an extended vacation?

Terry Francona playfully attacks Red Sox announcer Don Orsillo (Video)

Cleveland Indians manager (and former Boston Red Sox manager) Terry Francona playfully attacked NESN play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo before Friday night's game at Fenway Park.

Francona first chased Orsillo out of the Indians dugout. Then, as Orsillo came back, Francona grabbed his tie and got him in a headlock. Fortunately for us, Orsillo's NESN colleague Jenny Dell captured it all on video.



When it was all over, Orsillo finally left the dugout to fix his tie, which was a complete mess, while Francona shouted "Come back here, you big baby."

Looks like if this Indians gig doesn't work out, Francona might have a future in the WWE.

Marian Hossa is the answer to 3rd grade math problem (Photo)

A third grade student in the Chicago suburbs used Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa's name as the answer to a math problem on one of her tests.

Maggie Ciara, a student at Columbus Manor Elementary School in Oak Lawn, Illinois, wrote down "Hossa" as the answer to "9 x 9" on her math test.



Her teacher initially returned the paper with a red circle around Hossa's name asking "What is this?" However, she was clearly satisfied with Maggie's explanation, as she gave her a perfect score on her math test.

The precedent has now been set, boys and girls. Marian Hossa is now an acceptable answer for "9 times 9". Remember that for the next quiz.

Dwyane Wade has his own Gatorade refrigerator (Photo)

Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade is one of Gatorade's professional athlete endorsers. Apparently one of the perks of being a Gatorade sponsor, besides being paid to be in their commercials, is having a fully stocked Gatorade refrigerator in your house.

The caption with the photo: "Just came home to a packed #gatorade machine..I give it 2weeks b4 we need a refill..#kidsdrinkupeverything".

Based on the photo, that's about 400 bottles of Gatorade right there. That's a lot of Gatorade. Hope everybody there is brushing their teeth.
