Video: Swedish Hockey Player Hugs Opponent After Scoring Goal, Gets Punched in the Face

If you're a hockey player and you want to celebrate with someone after your team scores a goal, here's a tip: make sure you celebrate with a teammate and not someone from the opposing team. Otherwise something bad could happen to you, like getting punched in the face.

For most people, this would seem to be common sense.  Unfortunately, a Swedish hockey player had to learn this the hard way.

Video: Donovan McNabb Attended a Lingerie Football Game Friday Night

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Donovan McNabb attended a Lingerie Football League game Friday night as the Minnesota Valkyrie took on the Los Angeles Temptation.



It's debatable whether this impacted McNabb's preparation for last Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. However, McNabb will have more time to attend these games now that he is no longer the starting quarterback for the Vikings.

Given the circumstances, it's easy to say this is probably not the way that McNabb thought that things would work out when he was traded to the Vikings. At this rate, Chris Kluwe may have to ask for his jersey number back.

Video: After Onside Kick, Does Possession Go To Steelers, Titans, or Both?

At Heinz Field yesterday, the Tennessee Titans found themselves way behind the Pittsburgh Steelers late in the third quarter. After the Titans scored a touchdown to cut the Steelers lead to 28-10, they tried an onside kick to keep possession of the ball and get back in the game.

Players on both teams battled for possession the onside kick and the referees sifted through the pile to determine who had the ball.

This provided a confusing moment for the referees, commentators, and fans.

Video: LSU Touchdown Called Back For Taunting...by the Punter

LSU punter Brad Wing executed a fake punt to perfection yesterday and ran down the left sideline untouched for a touchdown near the end of the first quarter. However, the touchdown was called back because of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Wing...for taunting.



The play took place near the end of the first quarter with LSU already up 14-0. As Wing ran down the sideline, he briefly stuck out his arms around the 10-yard line as if to say "Hey, look at me" before getting into the end zone. Under the new rule in place this year for celebrations that take place before the play is dead, the penalty is enforced from the spot of the foul, so LSU would get the ball at the 23-yard line and eventually settle for a field goal. Fortunately for LSU, they had the game well in hand en route to a 41-11 win over Florida.

It's debatable whether this rule should be in place or not, as you'd like to see the players be able to express themselves and have fun once in a while. However, based on the rule, it would appear that the officials were correct in calling the penalty, and as they say, "the rules are the rules".

Personally I don't have a problem with this, especially knowing that the player in question is the team's punter. If you're a punter, you shouldn't be taunting anyone.

Video: Joaquin Benoit Forced To Remove Bandage Before Pitching

Benoit was wearing a large bandage on the left side of his face, but the home plate umpire umpire forced him to remove the bandage before he was allowed to pitch to Granderson.



This appeared to be some gamesmanship by Yankees manager Joe Girardi, as he most likely argued that the bandage might be a distraction to his batters. Benoit gave up a run in the seventh inning, but protected the Tigers lead through the eighth inning before handing the lead to Jose Valverde in the ninth inning on the way to last night's Tigers win.

Video: Shane Victorino's Outfield Blunder Results in Critical Run for Cardinals

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino slipped and fell while making a throw in the outfield in yesterday's NLDS Game 4 against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The play is probably one that Victorino would rather forget, not only because the Cardinals scored a run a, but the play will probably be part of baseball blooper reels for a long time.

Video: Texas A&M Running Back Steals Ball From His Quarterback...And Scores a Touchdown

Texas A&M scored first in their game against Arkansas today in a top 25 college football matchup. The touchdown play was a little strange, however, as running back Christine Michael took the ball from quarterback Ryan Tannehill...while Tannehill was about to throw a pass.



It happened two minutes into the first quarter. Tannehill took the snap and was about to throw to one of his receivers lined up wide towards the sideline. As Tannehill pulls his arm back to throw the pass, Michael steals the ball right out of his hand. Michael ran up the middle, somehow finding a hole and ran to the end zone for a 48-yard touchdown.

It seems safe to say that's not exactly how the play was drawn up...but sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
