I had someone send me a clip of a trick play, and as often seems to happen, I got so interested in it that I wanted to see more! Well, you guys know how that works. I figured that if I was already watching all these videos I might as well catalog them to share, and to save anyone else wanting to see a list like this some time.

So, all of you wannabe football players out there - listen up! You better study these plays because you either need to use them against your bitter rivals, or ensure that they don’t use them against you!

Folks I just had to share this video. Stay with me here, even if you’re not a sports fan because I promise this one will be of interest!

This is a video of a Football game from 1994 that just happens to be my own high school alma mater, Plano East Senior High. And this also has to qualify as the most amazing football game of all time. Bar none.

Humans have been taking part in sporting events for thousands of years, and now we’ve got ESPN to broadcast them 24 hours a day! However, you aren’t going to see these gems on TV even if you’re watching at 2am.

We’ve got a little of everything here from Camel Wrestling to Bog Snorkelling and Cheese Rolling to Ladder Racing. And if anyone knows of other insane sports to add please drop a comment below. Now, on with the madness!

I’ve seen a lot of really kick ass acrobatics, but I’ve never seen a compilation like this before! According to the description:

This video shows the 5 different disciplines of sports acrobatics. This videos were recorded 2006 at the world championships of sports acrobatics in Coimbra/Portugal.

But all I can say is that even after watching Kristina Kireeva the contortionist, the Urban Ninjas, the incredible World Class Breakdancers and Chloe Bruce’s Martial Arts - there is stuff here that you won’t see anywhere else!

Cirque du Soleil is, without a doubt the most amazing circus on the planet. They find the most incredible performers on earth and assemble them on stage for shows that literally defy description and leave audiences gasping and begging for more.

I’ve seen a number of Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas as well as in various cities when they travel. The bad news is that tickets normally run around $100 per person, and you have to buy them well in advance to get great seats. The good news is, you’ll never see anything cooler in your life, so the shows are worth every penny they charge. The even better news is that I’ve assembled 13 great acts here for you to see without having to pay to do it!

It’s a relatively well known fact that to throw a heavy punch you should put your body into it. This might sound simple enough in theory. Yet, during the years I used to practice mixed martial arts I observed quite a few people understand the idea, but still utterly fail in its application. Here’s a summary of how to throw a heavy punch, and a couple of nifty tricks I learned to help get it right.

After paying a record $38 million - per year - plus endorsements and other crap that adds up to $250 million, David Beckham has been sitting out games due to injury. This caused massive disappointment all over the country as stadiums were sold out to watch him play, and then he didn’t. This happened here in my home town of Frisco, TX where we have literally the nicest Major League Soccer stadium in the country.

But finally Beckham stepped up to play in a Superliga match on August 14 against D.C. United and scored his first goal in the MLS. It was a very nice free kick, I’ll give him that. But in my opinion bringing Beckham over here was still a horrible move.

Thanks again to Jimbeau for supplying us all with this crazy unicycle video of one of his friends who is basically a member of a unicycle gang called the Unicycle Bastards.

Some filmmakers hung around with them for a couple of days and made a short video of their crazy death-defying actions, but for some reason never shared it, so here it is. A Web exclusive!

The video clip below is from a 1987 match in Czechoslovakia between Canada and Russia. It started off just like any other hockey fight, but soon escallated into a situation where all of the players on the ice were going at it.

As if that weren’t bad enough, both benches cleared and eventually every player on each side was fighting a player on the other team. Heck, even the two goalies were going at it with one another!

As I’ve often noted, disabilities have no bearing on how much a person can achieve in life. Take for example Igor Plotnikov’s world record breaking 32.52 in the 50m butterfly at the Para-Olympics.

Now, if someone were to ask how you thought a swimmer without arms would do in a contest against athletes who’s arms were intact I’ll bet you’d guess wrong. Just watch and see.

I love New York! It is truly one of the world’s greatest cities, but I must say there are some of the worst drivers in the country clogging up the roads in Manhattan (yeah, I’ve driven there). So, its a little surprising that anyone would willingly get on a bicycle and fling themself infront of cars there!

I know the NYC bike messengers have a reputation as being the bad boys of the messaging business, but you just have to see how many traffic violations they can cram into an 8 minute trip.

This find is once again courtesy of Jimbo!

Generally speaking, my personal philosophy is to never make a woman mad if there is any way to avoid it. This is doubly true when it comes to Chloe Bruce, the martial arts expert.

Not only has Chloe won… well, like every major martial arts championship on earth, she is also a model and actress who serves as a double in martial arts films.

So basically, this makes Chloe the hottest woman on earth who can definitely kick your ass!
