Any chance of a quick summary of these?

They're all pretty well worth watching, but here's a rundown:

1) Poker is a cruel mistress, and sometimes the best strategy can be to embrace chaos.

2) The Olympics weren't as big of a thing back in 1904, and the games that year were basically a side-show for the World's Fair in St Louis. Basically nobody showed up, and the few that did almost died in the marathon for a myriad of fascinating reasons.

3) In revenge for a previous embarrassment in a basketball, John Heisman basically forced an under-trained college football team to play a game until the end, with a crazy score and a lot of strange plays and injuries resulting from it.

4) An important kick is missed in an important football game after a miracle play at the end of it. It is one of 3 kicks the kicker missed in his entire career.

e: Beaten, but whatever.

It's worth it to mention that in the first one, a player wins an important match by doing nothing for half the game. He doesn't even look at his cards.

I'm sports agnostic; their alright and there are some drat good stories in them. I am growing absolutely tired of the, "haha I don't get sports!" That some goons seem to relish in. No one who follows sports cares enough to be mad, so it's not good trolling, and like, it doesn't cost anything to learn it and there are plenty of people who'd be excited to share with you, so it's not a great joke to make fun of an exclusive community.

Not to defend HA HA SPORTS R TERRIBLE guys, but it's honestly hard to tell what's going on in some sports gifs if you don't know things like a swinging door formation. I watched football has a kid and I had no clue what was going on in that either.

Not half the game, the whole game. He does the same thing every hand but 3, I think. It's honestly impressive.

My favorite football clip (besides the butt fumble) is when Clowney blew up that Michigan runningback. The context is even better, because Michigan was just favored on a pretty questionable call. The very next play, that guy gets trucked and they lose the ball.

For anyone that doesn't want the full breakdown and wants to see the exact play that led up to the missed (tying) extra point, just watch the absurdity of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTGco82JKHo

Him missing the field goal after the immense effort the players put up, which is all but guaranteed at the distance of 20 or so yards out, is a sight to behold and I'm glad I got to watch that live.

You'd think you'd have stopped trying some flashy through-the-legs bowl after the first time.

Badly misstated.

Folding every hand would be "doing nothing".

If you don't realize that it worked because most of the people in the room didn't need to win, you need to watch the video again. Bois explains all of this.

quote:

An emergency call of nature has seen a desperately unlucky Tom Dumoulin lose a large chunk of his lead at the Giro d'Italia during a thrilling 16th stage

Sunweb's Dumoulin still managed to hold on to the leader's pink jersey, but not before flinging it off desperately on the side of the road for an emergency pit stop after encountering stomach troubles.

"I just had problems, I needed to take a dump — I couldn't hold it anymore," Dumoulin said.
