Tom Crean The Weirdo, A Sleeping Raider, and the GIFs You Missed

Welcome back to the work week and your Monday morning GIF-fest. We've got you covered for the water cooler if you missed anything.

It's Monday and that can only mean one thing: only a fool speaks in absolutes…except for that one part about "only" a fool speaking in absolutes. That's definitely true. Anyway, it's Monday and it means a lot of things, but specifically, right now, it means you are about to view a weekend's worth of sports ephemera. And what a weekend it was to be a sports fan. We had basketball, ping pong, hockey, soccer, wrestling in soccer, and so much more. Come on down and check out what you missed while you were shoveling snow or doing whatever you warm assholes in Southern California do.

Like it's nothing. You know you've hit a good shot when your opponent just throws down his racket in disgust and looks at you.

Life as a Knicks Sideline Reporter

It was a strange afternoon on Celebrity Row at Madison Square Garden Sunday. Jill Martin was ogled by this guy who looks like he just got his driver's license and may have been propositioned for a threesome by Justin Bartha, The Other Guy from movies.

God, I Love This Vine

Tom Crean is too weird to exist, but I'm so very glad he does.

The Definitive Oakland Raiders Vine

Whether this is Oakland GM Reggie McKenzie or his twin brother Raleigh, who is a scout for the Raiders, is immaterial. An important person for the Raiders may or may not be sleeping on the job. We can't say for certain that he is sleeping here, but the point is that he could be and that's a believable scenario.

Speaking of Asleep at the Switch

VCU fans not only faked out UMass players with this phony shot clock countdown, but they also fooled the referees. How does that happen? It's not like the actual buzzer sounded; the students even made their own horn sound, too. Not a good look, refs. [serious DeNiro face, finger point] Smarten up.

This Will Earn You a Flagrant, Montrezl

It's really hard to explain this one in any way that does not include Montrezl Harrell wanting to throw the ball at Tonye Jekiri's face. It's almost as hard as he threw the ball. Look how fast that thing redirects off Jekiri's face.

Ah, the beautiful game.

30 Embarrassing seconds for Cleveland

We're just talking about the sports team during this specific game. Obviously the city's entire existence is embarrassing; They managed to set water on fire, for Christ's sake. Anyway, John Wall burned Kyrie Irving on the old walk-the-dog move and turned Irving's attempt to save some clock into a Wizard's possession. Then Kevin Love couldn't dunk. It was all very sad.

Keeper Scores Last-Minute Equalizer

This was a wild finish for Augsburg to eqaulize in the Bundesliga and everyone on the team loved it. Marwin Hitz was up near goal (the other one, natch) for a corner kick with time ticking away and after several fortuitous bounces, the ball found its way to him and he made the most of his shot at glory.

Kentucky Kentucky'd Auburn

A no-look behind-the-back pass and a windmill dunk. Yep, Kentucky is still undefeated.

Philippe Coutinho, Jesus!

Scorcher, screamer, laser, taser, ICBM, bazooka—whatever you want to call it, Coutinho ripped it for the opening goal in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Southampton.

AHL Line Brawl Has Something for Everyone

The Hershey Bears and Bridgeport Sound Tigers put on a show Saturday. Do you like Goalie fights? Done. A fight where one guy actually wants to fight someone else, but still keeps punching his current opponent? Coming right up. A daring escape from the penalty box to keep fighting? A sports fan after my own heart; it is yours!
