9. BREAKING: Lionel Messi is human
The video below constitutes proof that the Barcelona star does occasionally miss chances, albeit with more than a tad of misfortune to blame for such shortcomings.

8. Jockey prank
The moral of this story is: never do an interview while simultaneously standing naked in the shower room. Unfortunately, Davy Russell learned this lesson the hard way.

7. The man of the moment
The Pittsburgh Steelers just about emerged from their Monday Night Football encounter with the Kansas City Chiefs with their playoff hopes still in tact.
However, despite the fact Lawrence Timmons intercepted the Chiefs’ Matt Cassel in overtime to set up Shaun Suisham for the game-winning field-goal, it is Mike Wallace Steelers fans can thank for getting them out of this one by scoring the team’s only touchdown.
It was one of just three receptions on the night for Wallace, but it’s a catch that will live long in the memory.

5. Suspicious minds
James Harden got fouled by Ray Allen last night, and it was a technical so he got two shots and possession.

4. Basketball madness
The Belgian basketball league is hardly much discussed or celebrated by most followers of the sport. However, perhaps these non-believers are missing out, as the madcap play in the video below suggests.

3. Faking it
Unfortunately for the individual in the following video, he didn’t realise a camera was focused on his shenanigans. Hence, his desperate attempts to get the race re-started, as he apparently faked injury, were there for everyone to see.

2. Whatever doesn’t kill you…
It seems as if the injury that sidelined the Philadelphia 76ers starting shooting guard, Jason Richardson, is bothering him no more.
Richardson contributed 20 points, four rebounds and two assists on his return from the ankle injury that saw him ride the bench for four games.
However, his efforts were all in vain as the Sixers lost 105-96 to the Milwaukee Bucks.
A relatively unremarkable game, however, was enlivened by this incredible 360 dunk that whipped the Wells Fargo Centre crowd into a frenzy.
