What happens when something both frightens and amuses you all at once? You share it with other people. Behold, then, this basketball fan, who really, really, really wants a free throw missed and doesn’t care what he has to do to make it happen. Seriously, someone needs to try this at a Timberwolves game. Or a Gophers men’s hoops game. Though it might not be as funny without all the other people in the seats.

In your face, Kanye West! As it turns out, our president does, indeed, care about the people of New Orle- … oh, not that hurricane. Instead, members of the 2006 Stanley Cup-winning Carolina Hurricanes will finally get to meet President Bush in a White House ceremony scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Friday. Highlights from the press release: Media members who are U.S. citizens that wish to attend will be “required to provide their date of birth and Social Security Number.” And, sadly, this is not open to the public. Otherwise it could have made a fantastic Coors Light commercial. No word yet on whether the Prez and Rod Brind’amour will drink Molson from the cup. Also, there has so far been no substance to the rumor that Bush was rooting hard for the Oilers in the cup finals. (And thanks to colleague Jay Weiner for the heads up on this story).

This has made the rounds on the Internets today, but this video confirms what we all know: The Duke men’s basketball team cannot win without cheating. Nothing like some hometown clock operation when you need it.

You’ll probably see this way too much in the next two weeks, so you might as well get the first viewing out of the way. Yes, it’s the Super Bowl Shuffle, circa the 1985 Bears. That’s. Just. Ridiculous. The part we really enjoy, though, is how at all times it looks as though they’re dancing to seven different songs. That’s what you get for involving Jim McMahon.

We saw this on Deadspin earlier today, as did one of our readers. It is, indeed, amazing. We’ll provide the link to this crazy Youtube love of a gust of wind carrying sign boards onto a soccer field in South Africa via Stephen Hawking’s Football Boots. We don’t imagine Deadspin needs our help. But seriously, check out the link. It’s a little frightening, like trying to imagine playing soccer as you decompress coming out of the Metrodome, except with huge boards flying around.
