Hat Tricks in Soccer?!?

So who is Jermain Defoe? Have you ever heard of him? I doubt it. I'm going to let you in on a little known fact. Last Sunday Jermain Defoe, the Tottenham's striker, added his name to the history books as he knocked in five goals over Wigan, winning 9-1. This tied Manchester United's league record for goals by a player in a single game. Not only did Defoe have five goals but he also managed to turned a hat trick between the 51st and 58th minutes of the game. No, that is not a typo. One player had three goals in a span of seven minutes. This story got about three seconds of notoriety on ESPN, which I found to be slightly ridiculous. Come on, the guy scored five goals and his team accumulated nine points. Am I the only one that found this to be a big deal?

For some reason I have a feeling I will never hear about Jermain Defoe again, so today on Thanksgiving, I salute you Jermain.

Matthew Stafford goes against the training staff's orders and re-enters the game for the final play. This guy has guts, because the on previous play he took a hard hit that separated his shoulder. Good thing for the Lions, he ended up throwing the game-winning touchdown pass after subbing himself back in.

Flipping the bird

Titans owner Bud Adams flips the bird toward the Buffalo Bills last week. I found this hilarious but odd. You would think an owner would have a little more self control and be more respectful to the opposing team. I guess when you lose your first six games you forget how to behave. Oh well, the NFL took action by fining him a much deserving $250,000.

Bill Belichick's face in dismay as he and his Patriots blow a lead in the 4th quarter. This photo was taken just after Belichick's controversial 4th and 2 call was halted by the over achieving Colts defense. I love this face!

Sammy Why?!?!?

To be honest when I saw this photo, I was slightly frightened. People say steroids do a lot of different things to you, but what could possibly influence a man to do something like this?

Side Show Bob Get Out The Way!!!

The week is not over yet but I am officially declaring this the dunk of the week no matter what happens Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

Boy Can He Jump!

This little guy is only listed at 6'0!!!!

Look at her go!!!!

Talk about a comeback. Undefeated Zenyatta pulled off a very impressive win, taking home the Breeders Cup Classic Saturday. Not only was the comeback amazing but Zenyatta also made history, becoming the first female to win the Breeder's Cup Classic. You can watch the race below:

Where did the hair go?????

Last night I was watching the 60 minutes special on Andre Agassi. The big story was him talking about(promoting) his new tell it all novel. The major story discussed was Agassi admitting to his past addiction to Crystal Meth. As serious as this may sound, this was not the part of the story that bothered me. I was actually more bothered by all the videos they kept showing of a young Andre Agassi, with a head full of hair. Every time an old video was shown, I found myself laughing because I never pictured Aggasi not being bald. Then I heard them mention Agassi started losing his hair at the age of 17, so he tried to cover it up with a weave. I immediately knew he would soon be the center of a joke on one of my blog post. So here you go, I hope this photo is as funny to you as it was to me.

This is how you make your parents proud

I decided that starting today, I will post up the "image of the week" every Monday, from the week prior. This week's image of the week belongs to the new World Champion Yankees, they won their 27th World Series title last week. Hats off to the Yanks, congrats.
