This past Sunday in an Italian league soccer match-up between Catania and Torino, three players from the Catania team dropped their shorts.  This is the newest, creative strategy that is used to block the goaltender’s vision of the ball.  Nothing better than to confuse the keeper with a pair of balls in order to block his site of the soccer ball.

Knicks lose division lead

By Micah Warren | 1 Comment

After jumping out to a scorching one-game lead in the Atlantic Division with just 81 games left, the New York Knicks collapsed on Friday night to the 76ers 116-87.
