David Beckham Shows Off Some Old Magic

David Beckham Shows Off Some Old Magic

David Beckham Shows Off Some Old Magic, David Beckham shows he can still blast it into the top corner, The soccer legend leaves television announcers in awe with this impressive, long distance shot. It's been an unpleasant start to the season for the LA Galaxy. On Saturday night they looked more like reigning MLS champions after a 3-1 win over Portland that was topped off by a beautiful goal from David Beckham.

Beckham was given too much time and far too much open space in the middle of the pitch to blast his shot into the top corner from distance. And the result seemed inevitable even though he was subbed out of the last match he played at halftime. But, as everyone should know by now, David Beckham has a habit of reminding people that he's still got it whenever they start to doubt him.

SNL Mocks Kim Kardashian's Relationship With Kanye West

SNL Mocks Kim Kardashian's Relationship With Kanye West

SNL Mocks Kim Kardashian's Relationship With Kanye West, Saturday Night Live The jokes were inevitable: A week after Kim Kardashian and Kanye West took their romance public, the comics at Saturday Night Live questioned its validity in one of their sketches. The April 14 episode, hosted by Josh Brolin, featured Nasim Pedrad (as Kardashian) and Jay Pharaoh (as West) weighing in on the Trayvon Martin case during an appearance on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight.

Pedrad's Kardashian was shocked that it took Florida officials so long to arrest George Zimmerman and charge him with second degree murder. "Forty-six days!" she whined. "That's like half a marriage!"

After the comics poked fun at Kardashian's past relationships, Taran Killam (as Morgan) asked: "Is your relationship for real, or is it just another publicity stunt?"

"I love this woman," Pharoah's West said. "As I said earlier this week, she's my Beyonce."

Pedrad's Kardashian added: "Only without the singing, or the dancing or the acting. I'm a zero-threat!"

Jokes aside, multiple insiders tell the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that Kardashian's relationship with the hip-hop megastar is the real deal. "It's not a PR stunt," a source insists of the rapper, 34, and reality star, 31. "They're perfect for each other."

Seattle Mariners Dad Surprise Son During Safeco Field Homecoming

Seattle Mariners Dad Surprise Son During Safeco Field Homecoming 

Seattle Mariners Dad Surprise Son During Safeco Field Homecoming, Army father dresses as umpire to surprise son during Safeco Field homecoming (VIDEO), Soldier's homecoming gets a clever twist, The Seattle Mariners come up with a witty new way to reunite a 13-year-old boy with his dad. The Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics held an opening day in Tokyo on March 28, another in Oakland on April 6 and one more — just for old time's sake — in Seattle on Friday. Army Sergeant's surprise reunion:

"I'm a little tired of seeing them," Seattle ace Felix Hernandez told reporters.

That may be, but it'll be hard to tire of seeing arguably the best highlight from any of the three games. Watch what happens as 13-year-old Kyle Smerer is asked to take part in the "Steal-a-Base" onfield promotion at Safeco Field and is surprised by his father, Steven Smerer, an Army First Sergeant who had just returned from a tour in Afghanistan.

Wow. Now that's a great homecoming.

And a great surprise, too. Kyle said he had no idea that his father was back in the country, let alone the ballpark on Friday night. He really thought he needed to get back to the warning track as fast as he could with second base.

Instead, Kyle was interrupted by his father, a 17-year Army veteran who had been out of the country since December. And it wasn't an interruption that Kyle welcomed at first.

From MLB.com:

"Somebody grabbed me and I was like, 'What are you doing? I'm trying to run back in a little amount of time,' " Kyle said.

He was in so much shock that it took him a few seconds to realize it wasn't an umpire. Instead, it was his father, First Sgt. Steve Smerer, who Kyle thought was still deployed in Afghanistan.

"I was really shocked to see him," a beaming Kyle said afterward. "I didn't know he was going to be here. I'll probably never forget this."

While Kyle's reunion with his dad was great, it was his teary reunion with 16-year-old daughter Kayla — whom you can see near the end of that clip — was just as emotional and highlight-worthy.

Seriously, what a great memory and what a beautiful family.

Thanks for a great highlight, Smerer family. And thank you for your service, sergeant.

Player's slide might be worst ever

Player's slide might be worst ever

Player's slide might be worst ever, Kelly Shoppach steals his first base with quite possibly the worst slide ever (VIDEO), Boston's Kelly Shoppach starts feet first, ends up head first, and doesn't look so good in between. Before Friday, Boston Red Sox catcher Kelly Shoppach had gone 464 games without attempting to steal a base — a length of time that qualified for an active MLB record and dated all the way back to the 31-year-old's big league debut in 2005. Shoppach's slow stolen base:

Of course, once you see this highlight of Shoppach's first career steal — which took place during a 12-2 win over Tampa Bay in Boston's home opener — his reluctance to take to the basepaths becomes a lot easier to understand.

Watch as Shoppach somehow manages a feet-first slide into second base that ends with him diving head-first into the bag. (Really, you have to see it to believe it.)

Yep, worst slide ever.

The good news, though, is that Shoppach was able to manage more than a few laughs out of his Boston teammates — Cody Ross described the catcher's move as "Wille Mays Hayes-ish" — as well as a few chuckles from himself. Shoppach had a huge day outside of his adventures on the basepaths, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI. He also called a fine game for Red Sox starter Josh Beckett, who pitched eight innings of one-run ball.

Afterward, Shoppach talked of his plans for the base like he was Rickey Henderson.

From MLB.com:

"It was awesome. I actually have already got a great idea of how I'm going to hang [the base] up," Shoppach said. "Still photo of me sliding, jumping, kissing the dirt, getting the bag up."

Shoppach said the theft was his first on the pro level since 2002, when he was a member of Boston's minor league system. Given that he may never receive another chance at a stolen base, we're glad he made the most of his only chance and got to second safely — by any means necessary.

Young soccer player's ridiculous goal

Young soccer player's ridiculous goal

Young soccer player's ridiculous goal, U-15 player scores with an overhead kick off a backheel to himself, A teen in New York scores with two of the cooler moves you'll see at any level of the game. In a U-15 match between Hauppauge "Brazil" and Dix Hills "Heat" on Long Island, New York, Dix Hills' Nkosi Burgess put on a lovely display of coordination that's going to get him a bit of attention.

Burgess was on the receiving end of a free kick into the box, which he backheeled over his head to set himself up for a little overhead volley for the goal. This elicited a stunned "wow" from one spectator who obviously didn't expect to see such an impressive goal at a local youth match.

Burgess' goal speaks for itself, so just watch and enjoy.

Trendsetter's high-tech locker room

Trendsetter's high-tech locker room

Trendsetter's high-tech locker room, Oregon Ducks' Amazing Locker Room, The Oregon football team's quarters have a lighting system that most other schools can't touch. The Oregon Ducks have 512 uniform combinations to entice recruits, and if that wasn't enough, their locker room can beat the other 119 in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Bryan Bennett, a sophomore quarterback, takes fans inside the Ducks' locker room, and let's just say you'd be hard pressed to find a more impressive facility in the National Football League.

The football building is dedicated to legendary Oregon booster Phil Knight. Accordingly, the co-founder and chairman of Nike doesn't have your typical boring photo displayed. Knight, with a net worth of more than $14 billion, is showcased wearing a sweet pair of shades. And by sweet, we mean they look like something out of "Blade Runner" or "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure."

Beyond that, each individual player's locker includes the latest in technology, according to the official Oregon Ducks channel on YouTube. Locker stalls are metal, with vents above each player's equipment to prevent that nasty smell of body odor on shoulder pads from stinking up the facility.

In addition, the lighting system has three options: Lounge, Huddle and Game Day. The locker room has sensors that match the lighting in Autzen Stadium, so that on game day the players don't have to change their eyes to adjust to the light, they're ready to go.

Oregon's football team has a 34-6 record the past three years, including a Rose Bowl win.

The two-story facility also features lockers that are angled toward the middle of the room so that players can hear every word from coach Chip Kelly.

A mere six minutes into Yokohama F. Marinos' J-League Cup match against Consadole Sapporo last week, defender Naoaki Aoyama took a tumble while running backwards to collect a ball in the middle of the pitch.

This gave Sapporo striker Hideo Oshima a leisurely one vs. one against the keeper that resulted in a goal. Sapporo ended up winning the group B match 2-1 and Aoyama learned that he should save the moonwalking for halftime.

People who think the Titanic is just a movie

People who think the Titanic is just a movie

People who think the Titanic is just a movie, Twitter Backlash for People Who Did Not Know Titanic was Real, Tweets expressing surprise that the tragedy actually happened flabbergasts the Web. The social news-sharing site Reddit has a knack for exposing people and situations. The latest topic of discussion to generate controversy is a series of tweets from people who did not know that the sinking of the Titanic was a real historical event. 100th Anniversary Titanic Memorial Cruise Sets Sail, A cruise will travel the exact route of the Titanic, stopping at the crash site for a memorial, and a Ryan Gosling themed egg hunt springs up in New York City.

Apparently, an entire generation of people associate "Titanic" with the Hollywood blockbuster starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Here is the disambiguation for you. The RMS Titanic sank April 15, 1912, after hitting an iceberg. The tragedy is considered one of the deadliest of peacetime maritime disasters. More than 1,500 people died.

"Titanic" the film was released December 19, 1997, and was an instant success. It became the highest-grossing film of all time for 12 years, until "Avatar" debuted in 2009.

For all the history buffs reading this, the next couple of sentences may be too painful to contemplate. A couple of the tweets from the uninformed read, "Nobody told me titanic was real? How am I just finding this out?" Another tweet read, "Guys, the Titanic was real! #mindblown."

Most people ware of the existence of the RMS Titanic are in disbelief. One such person tweeted, "The ignorance is astounding." Another person said he was "weeping for the future" at finding out that so many young people are unfamiliar with such a well-known fact.
