Play of the Week...

This weeks play goes to Lionel Messi of Barcelona as he shredded the Real Madrid defense last night.  Five defenders and a goalie?...No problem for Messi:

Play of the Week...and Blooper of the Week

This weeks Play of the Week takes us to a Division II baseball game in Tennessee, where the pick-off move was taken to a whole new level.  The pitcher pretended to throw the ball to 2nd base to pick of the runner, when he in fact kept the ball in his glove.  With great acting from the shortstop, 2nd baseman, and the pitcher, then runner took off to 3rd, where he was easily thrown out.  Here's the video:

This weeks Blooper of the Week comes to us courtesy of Baylor Forward Quincy Acy, as he attempts to write a paper for one of his classes.  When realizing that he can't spell, and when spell check doesn't have answers, Acy decided to take his issues to Twitter and ask the entire world for help.  Here is his Tweet:

We'll give Acy some credit though, at least he is still in school and going to class...that's a lot more than some college athletes can say.

Play of the Week

This week's play comes to us from Europe as Dejan Stankovic scored one of the most memorable goals in soccer history. After Schalke's goalie headed a pass out of the box in the early seconds of the game, Stankovic fired a bullet from mid-air right into the back of the net.  Inter Milan lost the game, but this goal was definitely the highlight of the night.  Here is a link to the video, courtesy of deadspin.com.

Play of the Week

This week's play comes a little earlier than usual, but I have to pay tribute to my Wildcats and Derrick Williams.  Williams had a tremendous night against Duke, scoring 25 points in the first half, and possibly stating his case for a dunk contest berth as an NBA rookie next year.

As if this dunk wasn't enough, Williams threw down this vicious tomahawk dunk in the 2nd half.

(Sorry for the poor video quality)

Play of The Week

Derrick Rose is not only an NBA MVP candidate, but also the creator of this weeks SSN Play of the Week.

Plays of The Week

All I can say is...no matter your views of Lebron James, the things he can do on a basketball court are unbelievable.

And I have no idea what went through Nick Young's mind as he flew, spun, and hung in the air for this insane 360 degree layup.
