Funny

In what has to be one of the weirdest stories we've come across in awhile, a well-meaning friend tried to find his soccer player buddy a cool place to play some football. That's not exactly weird in and of itself. It's more how he did it. He posted the question on a forum for poker players. 

It started out exactly as you would expect. There was ridicule and nobody really seemed to take him seriously. I mean, really man? How did you think this was going to work? 

Look what turned up at this Argentinian fourth division game: a soccer horse.

This past week, we've been treated to two of the most wildly mishit shots you’ll see all season. Just to be clear, we're not trotting out some amateur videos from a far-flug corner of the footballing world, these hilarious attempts at completing the most basic action in soccer are brought to you by 44-million-pound-man Angel Di Maria and Robert Huth, the center half for Premier League leaders Leicester City. These are shanks of the highest standard. 

It's a fail off!

Ladies and Gentleman! The moment you've all been waiting for! Kevin Hart vs. Joe Hart!

Comedian Kevin Hart visited Manchester City's training complex with only one thing in mind...to convert a penalty against one of the most in-form keepers in the Premier League, Joe Hart. What followed was a penalty showdown of absolute ridiculousness. We don't want to rock the boat, but we suspect that Joe Hart may have thrown the contest. Maybe a little greasing of the wheels? Padding of the pockets? The fix is in guys! No? Whatever. Just watch it.
