Sacramento State player hits a 75 footer to beat Weber State in overtime

I saw the craziest basketball game and the wildest finish that I have ever seen on Saturday night when Sacramento State defeated Weber State in overtime 78-75.

The refs called a technical foul on the Sacramento State coach for arguing during a crucial point in overtime which almost cost the Hornets the game but Davion Berry of Weber State missed both technical free throws.

With Sacramento State down by a point, the refs called two technicals on Weber State in the final minute of overtime. The first technical was for calling a timeout when they had none left and the other one was for Weber State's coach arguing on the sidelines.

Was that a make-up call for calling a technical on Sacramento State? It sure seems like it.

The Hornets made all four technical free throws to go up 75-72 with about 10 seconds left when Berry tied the game with a clutch three-pointer with about two seconds left and then Dylan Garrity hit a miraculous 75 footer to end the game.

Here are videos from the game.

Portland's Bobby Sharp hits 8 three-pointers to help the Pilots beat BYU in triple overtime

Bobby Sharp of the Portland Pilots helped his team upset BYU in triple overtime on Thursday night by hitting eight three-pointers. The Pilots won 114-110.

What was so amazing about Sharp's three-pointers were that they came in the clutch and he was off-balanced on some of his shots.

Portland was down 101-97 when Sharp hit a three to get the deficit down to one point and then hit another three to tie the game at 103-103  to get the game to triple overtime. The BYU defenders were draped all over Sharp and he still swished his threes.

Jonathan Holmes hits the game-winning 3-pointer to help Texas beat Kansas State at the buzzer

Jonathan Holmes hit a three-pointer with no time left on Tuesday night to help Texas beat Kansas State 67-64. Texas only had 1.9 seconds to get off a shot and they found Holmes in the right wing.

Video: Richard Sherman in new Beats by Dre commercial "Hear what you want"

Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks has a new commercial for Beats by Dre. It doesn't look like Sherman's rant after the game vs. the 49ers will affect his marketing value. Although fans might despise Sherman for his so-called classless antics and rants, the sports media loves him because he makes their job easier since controversy sells.

Nevada's Deonte Burton shows off his vertical with an alley oop dunk against UNLV

High flying point guard Deonte Burton of Nevada showed off his impressive skills again on Wednesday night when he did a one hand alley oop dunk off a pass from Marqueze Coleman in a game against UNLV.

Burton ended up with 29 points as Nevada upset UNLV on the road 74-71.

Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders hula hoop in sexy bikinis

Here is a sexy video of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders hula hooping in bikinis. The Cowboys are out of the playoffs this season so these girls don't have much to cheer for now but they can rest up and get ready for a new season in a few months.

Video: Ric Flair gives the San Francisco 49ers a speech and pep talk before the Packers game

Here is the video of WWE Superstar Ric Flair giving the San Francisco 49ers a pep talk the night before they beat the Green Bay Packers on the road 23-20.

The 49ers were surprised to see the former wrestling champion show up to speak to them. What a coup by the 49ers and Jim Harbaugh to get Flair to speak to the team. Flair is from North Carolina and the Carolina Panthers and their fans won't be happy to see this video.

Flair entertained the 49ers with his famous "Whooooo" catch phrase and told the team he was honored to be there.

Steph Curry hits the game winner over Shawn Marion and the Mavs

Steph Curry hit the game-winning midrange jumper over Shawn Marion and the Mavs on Wednesday night 95-93. The Warriors trailed by double digits for most of the game but they came back in the fourth quarter.

Curry had to save the day for the Warriors as Klay Thompson, David Lee, and Harrison Barnes did not play well at all.

Chris Paul's alley oop pass to DeAndre Jordan for a dunk goes awry as the ball gets stuck on the rim

Here is something that NBA fans have probably never seen before. During the Clippers vs. Celtics game on Wednesday evening, Chris Paul passed the ball to DeAndre Jordan for a dunk but the ball didn't go through the rim. The ball got stuck on the rim instead.

I've seen balls get stuck on the rim many times on jumpers and 3 pointers but never on an attempted dunk.

Kobe Bryant's first dunk of the season

Nevada point guard Deonte Burton throws down a nasty dunk on the Cal Bears

Check out Deonte Burton's nasty dunk on the Cal Bears near the end of the first half on Tuesday night.

Cal beat Nevada 92-84. Burton finished with 26 points.

NBA scouts love Burton's athleticism and some team will probably draft him in the second round or sign him as a free agent for their summer league roster.

5'9" Isaiah Thomas stuffs 6'10" Bernard James at the rim

Here is a video of Isaiah Thomas stuffing Bernard James at the rim in last night's Kings vs. Mavs game. Thomas is generously listed at 5'9" but he is probably only about 5'7" or so. The former Washington Huskies star showed off his hops by blocking the 6'10" James' shot.

The Kings went on to upset the Mavs 112-97. Thomas had 24 points and 12 assists on the night.

Creek had 25 points to lead George Washington. Here is the video of  the game-winning shot from three different angles. Creek was a big time prospect for Indiana but never fulfilled his potential  due to injuries.

Nick Young tries a crazy and ridiculous 360 layup shot vs. the Raptors

 Nick Young of the Lakers tried a hilarious 360 layup attempt against the Raptors on Sunday night.  The crowd would have gone crazy if he had made the shot.

The Raptors won 106-94 in Kobe Bryant's return to the court. The Raptors were without Rudy Gay as he was traded earlier in the day to the Kings.

College football fans on Twitter were outraged with Cox after this interview and some demanded her to be fired from ESPN.

NFL Free Pick Winner for Week 9

Another winning week last week on Twitter  @Dwizzlesworld and yesterday. Here is my pick for today.

Money Line parlay 4 teams

Kansas City
Dallas
New Orleans
Carolina

NFL Week 8 Picks and Winners with Analysis

Another winning day yesterday as I posted winning upsets on Twitter with UNLV +6 and Tulane +2 both winning straight up. My big play on Buffalo -2 was a winner as well as they smashed Kent State.

This Sunday in Week 8, I like the money line parlay with the Kansas City Chiefs, Bengals, Packers, Seahawks, and the Saints.

The Chiefs should win as the Browns are playing Jason Campbell at QB.

The Bengals are playing the tough Jets who have a great defense but the Jets are still partying it up after their big win last week against the Patriots. Today they will have a letdown and the Bengals are back at home in front of their loyal fans.

The Packers play the Vikings on Sunday night and although there are many WR injuries on the Packers team, they still have one of the best QBs in the NFL behind center. Christian Ponder starts for the Vikings and he might be able to dink and dunk but he can't win a shootout against Aaron Rodgers.

The Seahawks vs. Rams game on Monday night is a no brainer. Seahawks will dominate. The Rams can't stop the run to save their lives and they have a back up QB starting.

I do believe the Bills could give the Saints a run for their money but this is the second straight game on the road for the Bills. Sure they defeated the Dolphins last week but they won't beat Drew Brees inside the dome today. They won last week due to three horrible turnovers by Ryan Tannenhill and Brees won't make the same mistakes.

I do love the Bills' defense though especially their defensive line which is the best in football.

Other picks are Over 51 in Cowboys/Lions and Over 57.5 in Broncos/Redskins.

Two upset picks are Dolphins +5.5 over the Patriots and Redskins +10  over Denver.

The Dolphins looked horrible last week but they have all their guys back on defense today against Tom Brady and this is not the Brady of old. Brady and Eli Manning are two QBs that have seen their stock fall this season.

No Aquib Talib for the Patriots means Mike Wallace can run free and I expect him to make some big plays down the field for the Dolphins.

The Redskins might be a bad team on defense but they can win a shootout against a bad Denver defense.

NFL Free Pick Parlay

As posted on Twitter, my free parlay pick this weekend in the NFL is a money line parlay with the Chargers/Panthers/Dolphins.

The Chargers are a way better team than the Jaguars and the Jaguars are 0-6 for a reason.

The Panthers will beat the Rams at home and this is the first outside game for the Rams all season. It is not easy playing back to back road games in the NFL as well and the Rams played at Houston last week.

The Dolphins are coming off a well needed bye week and will be ready to rumble at home against the Bills.
