1) Sitting behind home plate can be a dangerous business, but after a while you become completely immune to baseballs flying towards your head.
2) If you are planning on clearing the danger, ensure your teammate’s backside is not in the way in order to avoid disaster.
3) Brighton might be a touch intimidated by the prospect of playing Manchester City in their FA Cup semi-final on Saturday but they do have some history in beating this weekend’s opponents. During their run to the 1983 final, they thrashed City 4-0. Watford will need to get past Wolves to get to their first FA Cup final since 1984, when they defeated Plymouth Argyle at Villa Park. Wolves’ most recent semi-final outing was back in 1998 when they were no match for Christopher Wreh. Whoever goes on to win it, let’s hope they fare better than Cardiff Met WFC goalkeeper Estelle Randall when it comes to popping the champagne cork.
This is the FUNNIEST trophy celebration you will EVER see!! Ever*

4) Don’t look down dept: man scared of heights tightrope walks 300ft above the Arizona desert. Mountain bikers whizz down insanely narrow path next to huge drop in Nepal. Why kayaking down waterfalls is not always smart (he’s OK). On the other hand, 150ft drops on snowmobiles seem fine.
5) Rocket-powered golf club: exactly as much fun as it sounds.
6) Good hands from Toulouse against Racing 92. And, talking of good hands, Jonny Bairstow is in stunning form in the IPL, but his week could have been even better if it was not for this stunning one-handed catch on the boundary by Dhawal Kulkami.
Our favourites from below the line last week
1) You all remember, Seibu Cup Soccer, right? And Chris Kamara’s Street Soccer, which almost certainly wasn’t a thing.
2) Dunks, dunks and more dunks: Shawn Kemp, Hakeem Olajuwon. Oh, and a 6ft 4in sixth grader putting the hurt on his 12-year-old opponents.
