1) Just Elton John falling off a chair at the tennis. What more do you need?
2) Man loses fantasy football bet. Re-enacts Al Pacino’s Any Given Sunday speech. Horrendously. Brilliant.
3) Harry Carpenter introduces ‘the funnies’ from an old BBC Sports Review of the Year.
4) We’ve been trawling German football goals circa 2003. Here you go: Florian Gogolok’s overhead masterpiece and Fabian Ernst from way downtown.
5) A delve into the Pathé vaults for a selection of races: ‘car racing on the sands’ of Southport (1934), the 1925 Gordon Bennett balloon race, the 1956 Torbay to Lisbon yacht race, and the 1949 waiter’s race.
6) Another week, another mesmerising Bayern Munich rondo session.
Our favourites from last week’s blog
1) The Beast of Turin, roaring again after 100 years, plus this Arrows F1 car engine comes out of hibernation after 12 years and the Flying Merkel.
2) Extreme water-skiing, including being towed by a seaplane. Totally radical, dude (just for BlackCaesar)!
3) Dougie Lampkin: from Junior Kickstart to trials riding through a giant igloo.
4) Japanese rubbish robot wars.
5) Seven-year-old Shane Kluivert: like father like son, on the football field.
6) Australian NBA rookie Dante Exum shows off some Aussie Rules heritage to his Utah Jazz colleagues.
