Ever See A Walk-Of Presser...???

((HT: ABC Columbia))

The OBC had a 14-point lead at home against Tennessee last night...

It didn't last as Joshua Dobbs hooked up with Jason Croom and Tennessee had a monstrous fourth quarter to send the game to overtime.

In the fifth quarter, the Vols kicked a field goal, the Gamecocks went backwards and lost 45-42.

All that caused what is, probably, the shortest Steve Spurrier press conference ever...


Makes you wonder if this week of prep will be one the players at Sakerlina will not like at all...

Ivory Coast Was In, Then They Weren't...

((HT: ESPN/FIFA))

If the Ivory Coast won with the firepower they had- Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure, Bony, and Drogba... then it would have been a great offensive show for the knockout round. If only the head coach had gotten his starting line-up right (or just kept it constant). Drogba came in as Super Sub in the 2 previous games, but was started in Game 3.

This kill shot didn't work. But a comeback over Greece almost got them in with the draw...

Yeah, that didn't go well either in stoppage time...
It has to be seen to believed...


So, Greece advances to the knockout stages for the first time with the 2-1 win...

Bully for them...

OSG Prem: Liverpool Commits Epic Collapse To Draw Palace

((HT: NBCSN/BPL/BBC Sport))

There is no other way to describe it...

The collapse of Liverpool was nothing short of jaw-dropping in the last 20 minutes of their match with Crystal Palace. And, frankly, it was a ten minute stretch where the game went from 3-0 Liverpool to a 3-3 draw. It amounts to an amazing home finale for Palace and the run that manager Tony Pulis had when he was named manager during the season.

And it amounts to leaving the title in Manchester City's hands as the Citizens have a game in hand that they make up this week against Aston Villa. A win on Wednesday will eliminate Chelsea from title contention and leave it to a two-team race on the final day. City plays West Ham at home while Liverpool takes on Newcastle.

Here's the collapse- edited, of course...


And the Reds knew it, too, once the final whistle sounded...


And the HQ gives mad props to Arlo White, Lee Dixon, and Rebecca Lowe in the broadcast. White and Dixon laid out (That's a TV term for "not talking") for almost 2:30 to let the above breath. And Lowe, in her talk back in studio expressed the right amount of context as to JUST HOW GAWDAWFUL important and outright shocking it was.

Here's Brendan Rodgers afterwards all-but-conceding the title


Now, Liverpool needs to make sure ManCity draws or loses Wednesday to get back in it.
Hey, happened when Norwich played Chelsea...
