Golfer Anthony Kim's shot on the 18th hole of last weekend's AT&T National left one spectator with a rather sore fanny.
It's amazing what you can do with some music, amusing sports TV clips and good editing software.
Kudos to Steve Porter for taking the time. And thanks to WTN fan/Twitter guru Toby Srebnik for the heads up on this.
Some people take a glove to the game and hope to catch the ball. Others just duck and hope for the best. This guy flinches -- and gets more than he bargained for..

So the minutes are ticking down in the Brazil-Italy match in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup when the camera pans to this young fellow.
Maybe he could get an endorsement deal from Baskin-Robbins.
Yankees fans went to Times Square thinking they could get free tickets to Opening Day courtesy of Pepsi. That didn't happen.
This is a textbook example of marketing gone awry.
This clip from USA Network's "Tuesday Night Fights" was unearthed a couple months ago and some people are calling Brian Sutherland "the worst boxer ever."
Judge for yourself. Here's the March 9, 1993, fight in its entirety.
I've never heard sports announcers laughing so much.
How come this guy is alive? Rally driver Jari-Matti Latvala flew off a mountain track in Portugal during a race on April 3. His Ford rolled down the hillside, with cameras outside and inside the car capturing the terror.
Amazingly, Latvala, of Finland, and his co-driver escaped unhurt. But his team might fire him.
Oh yes, and this all happened on Latvala's 24th birthday.
This is pretty cool -- a time-lapse video by the staff of the Daily Tar Heel, the University of North Carolina's student newspaper, after the Tar Heels won Monday's final game of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
We'd celebrate too, but we're still trying to get over losing our basketball pool.

Thanks to UNC alum/WTN fan/Sentinel colleague Stephanie Horvath for passing this along.
March Madness is exciting, but where are the ninjas?
Legendary anchorman Ron Burgundy had to ward off the deadly assassins last year as he interviewed Michigan State basketball head coach Tom Izzo last year.

NFL.com came out this weekend with a fun ad for fantasy football featuring players doing amazing things (courtesy of some special effects). I enjoyed it, but I can see these sort of ads becoming cliche soon (i.e. Kobe jumping over a car, the girl who scales the fence in a baseball game to catch the ball).
By the way, if you are starting Marc Bulger and Laurence Maroney on your fantasy football team, your team is in serious trouble.
Unbelievable!! Check This out Man - video powered by Metacafe
See that? My second best headline EVER. The first being: Man makes chainsaw noise with an air hose and his butt crack.
This is a pretty funny clip. LeBron James sits down. Looks around. Gives a little grin.
Then teammate Anderson Varejao recoils in utter horror at... something that smells horrible. The speculation is that it was some flower-killing-strength flatulence, but I'll leave it up to our enlightened viewers to decide.
Wait for the slo-mo at the end. Trust me on this.
I'm all for celebrating, but this seems a bit out of hand.
Magic Madin Mohammed – got kind of a ring to it, hasn’t it? This 6-year-old soccer phenom is already being tracked by the world’s elite clubs. Spain’s Real Madrid and London’s Chelsea are said to be ready to pay the proverbial king’s ransom to sign up the Algerian-born French kid. And global futbol fans are already drooling at the prospect of a new Zinedine Zidane, the retired French superstar also born in Algeria. Let’s hope young Madin doesn’t share his famous compatriot’s lethal forehead.
This happened a few months ago at a Boston Celtics game, but it's just starting to get some heavy buzz.
I don't know if the dance was spontaneous or if it was planned. According to Internet reports, he's a high school kid who could not stop himself from rocking out to Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer."
What do you think?
Yes, this is from the last time the Steelers went to the Super Bowl. But I think it still works in 2009.
Watch now so you can learn it before the Super Bowl.
Time for some education! There's always someone who wonders aloud at football viewing gatherings, "How the heck do they do that cool yellow line thing?" (That'd be me, because I pay attention more to the tech doo-dads than I do the actual sports)
This clip is starting to circulate around the Internets.
During halftime of the Colts-Chargers game, the in-studio crew did a lengthy promotion for the upcoming movie "Monsters versus Aliens." And then something strange happened. At the -:30 mark, listen closely.
Is someone that excited about 3-D glasses?
Pete Carroll, control your team! They apparently can't handle being on the same sideline as ESPN's Erin Andrews (who I suspect gets this kind of B.S. quite a bit).
An apparently bored and/or easily distracted Rey Maualuga of USC decides to sneak up on an unsuspecting Andrews while she goes through her notes. It's captured all on video, and has gone viral -- more than 1 million views for a game that was played Thursday.
Just in case you want to blare the Miami Dolphins Fight Song whenever the team scores today, here it is.
If you are a Dolphins fan, you'll really enjoy this video. It may even cause you to tear up.
This clip was posted in March by www.firstteamadv.com.
I know I watched the ENTIRE Florida-Florida State game, and I did not see this on ABC.
This clip pretty much sums up why I gave up band in the 7th grade, because I could see this happening to me.
I wish I knew what state this was shot in so I could keep a good 200 feet from wherever this woman is driving. Mom-in-law apparently takes her first drive in a golf cart with disastrous, but hilarious, results.
And when she plows into some bushes, what does the family decide to do? Let her drive some more. Awesome.
Someone should have paid closer attention.
Twenty-three years ago, the Chicago Bears made music history with the song “The Super Bowl Shuffle.” The Shufflin’ Crew sold more than 700,000 records and 170,000 videos. William “The Refrigerator” Perry became a household name.
But the success of “The Super Bowl Shuffle” also emboldened other NFL teams to make their own music videos. And those videos were awful, truly awful.
YouTube now has given new life to these forgotten videos, which feature everything from barbarians to a keytar. Here are some of the worst.
The Miami Dolphins' “Can't Touch Us”
This video by "Cory and the Fins" lifted lyrics from not one, but two 1990 rap songs-M.C. Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This” and LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out.” There’s a keytar. There’s a guy wearing a white sports jacket and bow tie, but no shirt. There’s a cell phone the size of a brick. Yup, it captures the early ‘90s.
Most cringe-worthy moment: Remember Zubaz, those obnoxious striped pants? The Dolphins must have been sponsored by Zubaz that year.
The Los Angeles Rams’ “Let’s Ram It”
The 1986 Rams’ choreography is almost as bad as their lyrics. The worst two lines: “I like to ram it as you can see/Nobody likes ramming any more than me.” Defensive end Gary Jeter is standing in a locker for no good reason.
Most cringe-worthy moment: All-Pro safety Nolan Cromwell’s dancing. It’s hard to watch the last 20 seconds of the video.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ “Buddy’s Watching You”
The 1988 Eagles hit the studio to warn people that Coach Buddy Ryan is keeping an eye on you. Mercifully short video and some of the players don’t sound half-bad.
Most cringe-worthy moment: The 1:03 mark. Someone lets kicker Luis Zendejas near the microphone. He squibs his rhymes.
The Cleveland Browns' “Masters of the Gridiron”
Dressed like extras from an episode of “Xena: Warrior Princess,” the 1986 Browns fight white, middle-aged ninjas so they can get "The Ring." This nonsensical 18-minute epic features musician Tiny Tim as a hooded evil-doer. Seriously.
Most cringe-worthy moment: The 4:35 mark. Center Mike Baab in barbarian-garb standing on the edge of Lake Erie blowing on a horn.
This video is broken up into two parts:
Part 1
Part 2:
The Seattle Seahawks' “Cuz the Blue Wave is on a Roll”
The 1986 Seahawks got Michael Jackson to sing in their video. Linebacker Michael Jackson. It's no “Thriller.” Just “Bad.” Former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice must have taken dancing lessons from Frankenstein.
Most cringe-worthy moment: At the 1:40 mark, a saxophone player emerges from the showers and then plays in front of a shirtless player working out.
The San Francisco 49ers’ “Team of the Eighties”
The 49ers may have won the Super Bowl in 1989, but this video is unforgivable. The cheesy graphics look like something from a grade-school project. The poor horn players are forced to hang out in someone's backyard.
Most cringe-worthy moment: Why does cornerback Eric Wright feel the need to roll his tongue at the 2:24 mark?
The Los Angeles Raiders’ “Silver and Black Attack”
The 1986 Raiders shout out their chorus in a set-up reminiscent of the "We Are the World" video. Why are there always players in these videos wearing sunglasses? We see your number. We know who you are.
Most cringe-worthy moment: 5:30 moment. Coach Tom “T-Flo” Flores raps.
And of course, there's the video that started it all. The Chicago Bears' "The Super Bowl Shuffle." I can't believe I would watch MTV all afternoon just to see this video. Talk about wasted youth.
There is one video that I couldn't find-- it's sort of the Holy Grail of NFL music videos. The Dallas Cowboys put out a 1986 Christmas music video where Tom Landry raps along with the team. If anyone can find it, please send me the link. I want to see Landry spitting out some rhymes.
UPDATE: A Watch This Now reader found one of apparently several videos done by the Dallas Cowboys for a Christmas 1986 album. It is an earnest, tone-deaf holiday song. Thanks Haywood!
We were also alerted to yet another awful football rap video. This time courtesy of the 1989 Cincy Bengals. It's called the "Who Dey Rap." As in "Who dey heck thought this was a good idea?"
Here's what happened when one woman took her toddler to a World Series parade and he realized he could make people spontaneously break into applause.
Now I just need a South Florida sports team to win a championship so I can try this with my 17-month-old son.
Apparently they're starving for entertainment in Algeria. Helping to fill that void is this: a crowd gathers around two rams who run at each other and smack heads. Crowd erupts, guy runs around waving a road flare.
Now that I think about it, that sounds about on par with a Friday night on Himmarshee.
Earlier, I posted the amazingly stupid "extreme arm wrestling" clip.
To contrast that, here we have what may be the most awesome sport ever: baseball with nunchucks.* This guy is like a ninja and Japan is chock-full of awesome. Enjoy.
* I realize I spelled nunchaku incorrectly. I figured "nunchucks" is more familiar without resorting to using "numb chucks".
I hesitate to even list this under "sports." I'm a huge mixed-martial arts fan, but not a fan of arm wrestling. The "sport" in this clip tries to combine both and ends up with a sloppy mess resembling neither.
Watch as two men tethered together to arm wrestle pummel each other senselessly in this new "sport."
See, this is why you should not film yourself doing anything like this, because you will just end up looking silly:
This clip is a favorite of Sun Sentinel online producer Dan Scapusio. We hope that by posting this clip, Dan will then post the link under "Top News Stories" on the site. It seems like a fair trade-off, right?
This is easily one of the more WTF? moments I have seen in college football. Watch ref Stephen Garcia get in on the action to help LSU stop Carolina's quarterback.
Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps returns to Baltimore in a Hummer and with a pretty serious-looking security patrol. He is met by many, many people, several of whom are squealing and screaming marriage proposals at him.
I like that the first shot of this video is of some guy selling gold medals out of a shopping cart. Why didn't someone tell Michael Phelps that it was this easy? You didn't have to go to Beijing to earn your eight gold medals. Just buy them from the dude with the blue cart! They're three for $5! Just think, you give him $15, that's nine gold medals, and you didn't even have to swim a lap.
I must say, if this isn't the best, it's got to be up there in the top 5. Watch Edwin Baptiste, wide receiver for Morgan State, seemingly float in the air and effortlessly stretch out for an impossible, one-handed catch. The landing alone probably would have killed me.
Apparently Canada actually has football teams. Imagine that? And you know what? They actually have better touchdown celebrations than they do in the NFL. Here's the Winnipeg Blue Bombers showing those uptight NFL officials that the anti-celebration rules need to be scrapped, eh?
Remember when the Miami Arena was a viable sports and entertainment complex?
I do. I saw my first professional basketball game there (the Heat, of course), attended my first concert there (Amy Grant, on a church field trip), screamed through shows by a number big-hair metal acts (Poison, Cinderella, Extreme) and watched post-Van Halen David Lee Roth ride a giant inflatable microphone across the arena stage.
Sure, the arena was small, smelly and in a not-nice part of downtown Miami. And it's a downright pit compared to the American Airlines Arena. But don't you just hate to see memories blown up like this?
Rule #1 for singing the Star-Spangled Banner: Know the words.
Rule #2: A pinch of embellishment is cool, but keep it simple.
Kat DeLuna failed on both counts Monday at the Cowboys game. In this clip, she sounds like a combination of a 12-year-old boy going through puberty and a bad Christina Aguilera impersonator. And her gesticulations look like... well, see for yourself.
After the grace, the pageantry, majesty of the Olympics comes this: Russian high jumper Ivan Ukhov and a little too much Stolichnaya vodka and Red Bull. I'm not judging him, I've been there too many times before. I have never, however, attempted a high jump in front of a stadium full of people while in that state. Yet.
The video is a pinch slow to begin, but it's worth the wait. Gives new meaning to the legendary Fosbury flop.
There's a controversy brewing in College Football World, involving the Georgia Bulldogs and a should-have-been-a-highlight clip that wasn't.
The background: Georgia running back Knowshon Moreno, in the middle of a run, hurdles a Central Michigan University player. It's an amazing play, but apparently not amazing enough for ESPN to include it in its 400 million college football clips over the weekend. And that has irritated some folks, including Georgia's coach, Mark Richt.
You can read more about the controversy here, courtesy of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
And you can stay right here and watch the clip:
Thanks to WTN fan and Sentinel online producer Kara Romagnino for the heads-up on this one. Now, Kara, give it good play!
Somehow a squirrel made it on the field during Thursday's Indians-White Sox game.
Just a thought: Next time get the peanut vendor to come down and try to lure the furry fellow away.
Reason No. 1 is I'm afraid to get hit on the head. This is reason No. 2:
Something tells me these gymnasts didn't come home with Olympic gold.
They need to work on their choreography, but with some practice they could be medal contenders in the Office Olympics.
Sure, you may think you accompished a lot last week, but you didn't win eight gold medals.
And I bet your week wasn't compressed into a 60-second segment on YouTube:
I felt this way somewhere in the middle of a beach volleyball match over the weekend. But minus the beer and Cool Whip:
This clip is from the Sydney Olympics. It's so funny that part of me wants to think it's a fake, but I don't think you can fake this.
I just wish the two guys doing the voice-over on this could do commentary for NBC and their Olympic coverage this year. How awesome would that be? I would watch the entire Olympic Games if they were. And I can't recall really paying attention to the Olympics since about, oh, 1996.
Here's the clip:
Having a bad day at work? Check out the video below (at the :15 mark a guy face plants into a track hurdle) and then cruise on over to www.failblog.org. Think Lolcatz meets ultimate failures.
Wichita Wingnuts manager Kash Beauchamp is either: a) going absolutely bonkers or b) auditioning for an underarm deodorant commercial.
What is going on in his head?
"I don't like that call so smell my pits, ump!"
I've seen this video clip presented as real. It's not -- it's part of a Gatorade campaign.
But then again, on YouTube it doesn't matter if it's real or not as long as it's entertaining. This is.
Could this be the sneakiest soccer goal in history?
Back in the 1980s, the L.A. Lakers ruled the basketball court and Nancy Reagan was leading the "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign. When the two phenomenons collided, the results were uglier than a Shaq free-throw attempt.
They're supposed to rapping in this video, but it's more like semi-coordinated shouting. It's bad enough they wore the short-shorts on the court, but in the music studio too? Around children?
More questions: Why is Pat wearing sunglasses in the studio? Is that Kurt Rambis or Weird Al? Why are the voices out of synch with the video?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution did a story about the wild pitch in the video below. An except from their story:
Stephens County principal David Friend apologized Monday to the Georgia High School Association for an incident in the Class AAA baseball championship series Saturday in which Stephens County catcher Matt Hill ducked and allowed a pitch from Cody Martin to strike an umpire in the face mask."[The tape] looks bad, and most people who look at it come away with that conclusion," Friend said. "But there have been whacky things that have happened in baseball and high schools, and all I'm going to conclude is that it does need to be investigated. If we're found to be at fault, we'll effectively deal with the situation."

Mariah Carey "threw" the opening pitch at a Japanese baseball game this week. I use "threw" in quotations because it seems more like she dropped the ball.
Then again, you don't see many pitchers come out to the mound in high heels.
ESPN takes on the age-old question of who could score a touchdown first, the bear (named Ted E. Bear, of course) or a football player holding a glazed ham? (from gangrey.com)
This video just goes to show that fantastical match-ups aren't limited to comic book geeks and their Batman vs. Harry Potter what-ifs.
This is the kind of debate the American people demand! If only the wrestlers look more like the candidates they're playing. It looks like they just smacked a blonde wig on a woman and called her Hillary, and "Barack Obama" has ears that stick out so far he looks like Will Smith.
If only this is how they'd decide the nomation, or even the presidency. Except who would the WWE get to play McCain?
You have to give the guy props for catching this bare-handed... then you have to smack him upside the head for dropping it, stopping play, then expecting someone will throw the ball back to him. Sorry, buddy, you drop it, it's gone.
The best part: That he loses the ball while celebrating his catch, and it's all caught on camera.
I think the headline on this entry pretty well explains it.
Tennis player Mikhail Youzhny's frustration at the Sony Ericcson Open in Key Biscayne is becoming the stuff of YouTube legend. Well, at least for this week.
After a bad backhand, Youzhny slammed his racket against his face three times.
My favorite part, the commentator saying, "That had to be a fairly severe impact to draw blood." Yeah, I would think so.
President George W. Bush threw out the first pitch Sunday at the Washington Nationals season opener. Some in the crowd sounded less then thrilled as they booed him when he made his way to the mound.
Clearly there are some college coaches who are extremely... passionate about their teams.
Witness Michigan women's basketball coach Kevin Borseth go off after a recent loss. Make sure to pay attention to his entrance -- that's the best part. Also, he's very passionate about offensive rebounds.
Thanks to our colleague Brian Wacker for sending this my way:
If you want to compare and contrast angry coaches, here's Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy and his rant from last fall. A classic:
So which coach do you think ranted better?
Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard did a dunk, Superman-style, this past weekend at the NBA All-Star slam dunk challenge. Check it out as he flys through the air, cape and all.
Baseball has a rich tradition of pranks, but few have ever been as elaborate as what was pulled this week on Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick. This clip has caught fire on the Internets with more than 1.2 million hits in just two days.
Whatever you say about Packers fans, don’t question their passion. There’s even a band out of Wisconsin that has an album called “The Cheesehead Special,” which is solely composed of Packers-related songs.
If you want to listen to Elroy and the Diehards’ songs such as “Reggie” and “When the Packers Kick Your A**,” click here. Here’s their “hit song”: “We Love Brett Favre.” It’s sung to Toby Keith’s tune “I Love This Bar.”
I noticed this when I was watching the Colts-Chargers game. Any time your fans boo a 15-year-old girl, there’s going to be karmic payback.
Remember the days when the Dolphins were “awesome in the day and magic in the night?” WTN's Kevin Cobb found this clip last month, but it's so good we got to post it twice.
This ESPN segment featuring the new Dolphins head coach is good fun.
If only picking a president were this easy. And if only their ads were this straightforward.
This has to be my favorite "Leave Britney Alone!" parody since Seth Green's clip (which, if you want to search for it in the archives, is part of our top 10 videos of 2007).
North Carolina’s Tyler “Psycho T” Hansbrough challenged the tallest player in college basketball, North Carolina-Asheville’s Kenny George, Wednesday night and it looked something like this:
Even though it’s not the “Super Bowl Shuffle,” this Miami Dolphins rap by Cory and The Fins is a gem.
I know I’m going to regret mentioning this … but apparently Zubaz pants are coming back. Yes, those Zubaz pants. Visit their store here.
We like this stuff. We think about it. And we show you our favorites.
