Mikhail Grabovski's Incredible OT Winner

I speak on behalf of all Toronto Maple Leafs fans when I say nothing compares to a Leafs versus Habs game. The most storied rivalry in the history of the NHL as well as being an original 6 matchup always has the potential of being a thrilling game down to the last second. Last night was no exception as the Leafs and Habs traded leads throughout the affair with nothing being decided in regulation and thus forcing over time. After a breakthrough season last year, Mikhail Grabovski has had a quiet start to the 2011-2012, but he more than made up for it last night with a spectacular OT winner on Carey Price. The Leafs are 2-0 against the Habs this season who are currently dead last in the division having won only 1 game so far. While the season is young expect last night's heroics to get Grabovski goin and take some of the workload of a streaking Phil Kessel who at the moment leads the NHL in both points and goals. KIF

University of Arizona vs UCLA Streaker Dressed as Ref

Streakers are opportunistic assholes. Usually they run on the field in the middle of play disrupting the game for their 15 seconds of fame only to be regarded as an idiot. Recently however, during a University of Arizona vs UCLA football game, some college student dressed up as a ref waited until the end of a play to make a call on the field. He goes to the line of scrimmage where the referee holding the game ball is before deciding to begin his streak, running to the end zone leading to the ensuing security tackle from behind. Points given for creativity and timing, well done.

MLB World Series - Game 3 - Albert Pujols in Beast Mode


The 2011 MLB World Series shifted to Texas for a big Game 3 on Saturday. After a low scoring Game 1 and 2, the St. Louis Cardinal's lineup exploded for a massive win beating the Rangers 16-7. One of those players - who has received a ton of criticism so far in the series in none other than Albert Pujols, who apparently had heard enough media smack talk directed towards him and responded with one of the best World Series performances of all time. Pujols belted 3 home runs, drove in 6 runs, and had 5 hits, simply put he was in Beast Mode. He is now 1 of only 3 players to ever hit 3 homers in a World Series game, joining some good company in Reggie Jackson who did it in 1977, and Babe Ruth who did it twice in 1926 and 1928. Furthermore, each pitch he took for a ride over the wall was against a different pitcher. Why Texas didn't walk him after his first 2 home runs is beyond comprehension. Pujols also became the first player in World Series history to record a hit in 4 consecutive innings. Game 4 will be played tonight in what should be considered a must win for the Texas Rangers. On the pitching mound tonight is RHP Edwin Jackson for the Cardinals against LHP Derek Holland of the Texas Rangers who clinched their spot in the World Series after winning game 6 against TBay.

The progression of Mac Miller's music from when he was known as EZ Mac is continuing to impress from mixtape to mixtape. When it comes down to determining his best work to date, its hard to say, each mixtape has new elements added which weren't prevalent in his music prior to that. Mac Miller released Best Day Ever earlier this year in March and was a huge success producing massive singles such as Donal Trump which has received over 30 million YouTube hits. Below you will find a recent Mac Miller interview speaking on his upcoming debut album Blue Slide Park amongst other topics, as well as his Best Day Ever mixtape. KIF
