There are myriad ways to kill a day at work: kill your boss, kill your colleagues, kill kill kill. But clicking around YouTube is still much more socially acceptable than going postal in the office, and won't land you with a minimum 25-stretch either. So every Thursday we'll be needlessly wasting time rather than lives, in order to bring you our favourite clips. Then you can add your own and everyone will go home happy, unless you've just gone on that spree and are being carted off by the boys in blue in an armoured van.
1) Perhaps Steve McClaren can console himself with these other doyens of English footballing failure. "At the end of the day, I get the sack now ..." rants Graham Taylor prophetically in 1993 as defeat in Holland leads to an eventual failure to qualify for the World Cup; branded a clown by Brian Clough before the game, Polish keeper Jan Tomaszewski puts in a magnificent performance to earn his team a 1-1 draw and end England's 1974 World Cup qualifying hopes; and England get taught a footballing lesson in this 6-3 thumping at the hands of Hungary in 1953.
2) This is an NBA cheerleader making what is possibly the greatest miracle shot in the entire history of basketball. She's just simply brilliant.
3) Anything Johan Cruyff can do, Plymouth's Mike Trebilcock can do better. And nearly 20 years earlier t'boot.
4) Here's a snowboarder crashing into a fashion model on live television. "Are you OK?" the presenter asks afterwards. "Yes," she smiles. Quite frankly, we'd have been in snivelling tears.
5) The biggest sporting cock-up of all time? Here's Willie Shoemaker celebrating victory in the 1957 Kentucky Derby by standing up in his irons. Thing is, the finishing line was still miles away. This is part of a training video, so excuse the David Brent figure bookending the clip.
Our favourites from last week's blog ...
1) Here's Celtic legend Tommy Gemmell booting Helmut Haller in the trousers. A proper comic-book boot up the buttocks, this is brilliant stuff. (The clip's from Fantasy Football, a programme which stands up pretty well, all told, being witty and engaging with a lightness of touch. Compare and contrast to the bilge we're served up these days: we've got three words for anyone involved in Channel 4's insulting Fanbanta debacle: Bill, Hicks, marketing.)
2) Badminton makes its long-overdue debut in this column courtesy of Peter Gade and a truly filthy drop shot.
3) Relive the golden days of Emlyn Hughes v Bill Beaumont, when decisive questions on A Question of Sport still mattered. Plus there's a bonus seven minutes of Dallas at the back end of the clip too.
4) Two tables, six balls, one white and a man named Fast Larry. This is trick-shot pool at its best.
5) Take that, Cristiano Ronaldo. Brazil's Robinho makes a monkey of Ecuador's defence in this year's Copa América - in particular Reading's Ulises de la Cruz.
Spotters badges: Mitsuyaciderdrinker, MaidenFan, ephemeraljoy, TheCorporal, Luisinho.
And finally ... the best bits from the Guardian today
1) Regardless of what happened last night at Wembley, it seems right to recognise Croatia's contribution to world football, especially the fine side that finished third in the 1998 World Cup.
2) This selection of great rugby league tries also includes a wonderful score by Mike Gregory, who died this week, against the Kangaroos in Sydney from 1988, which clinched the first win over Australia for more than a decade.
