When you run on the field during a baseball game, you should expect rough treatment from the security guards or the players, if they happen to get to you first.

However, Chicago White Sox left fielder Dayan Viciedo couldn’t have been more gentle when he apprehended a field invader during the sixth inning of his team’s game against the Baltimore Orioles earlier this week.

That’s probably because the runner is said to be four-years-old, and Viciedo was able to effortlessly swoop him up and carry him over to security.

“My first reaction was just to grab him,” Viciedo said via an interpreter. “What I was thinking was that I hoped a ball doesn’t hit him, so that is why I instinctively went to grab him.”

The boy and two adults were ejected from the game. Speculation is that the youngster was told by his dad to run onto the field.

Baseball fans may remember an incident at Chicago’s Cellular Field in 2002 when a shirtless and heavily inebriated father and son duo jumped out of the stands and attacked Kansas City Royals’ coach Tom Gamboa.

While that incident was downright scary, this father and son misadventure on Chicago’s South Side ended up being pretty adorable, with a big assist from Viciedo.

Both ‘SNL’ stars were obsessed with one of Gotye’s best known songs ‘Somebody That I Used to Know.’ In the music video, Gotye starts off naked and is then painted into the background.

Thanks to Samberg and Killam, we’ll never be able to look at that video the same way again. Things get creepy when the duo sneak into Gotye’s dressing room and recreate the video, nudity and all.

“We’re like you,” says Samberg. “Get it?”

Gotye may have got it, but he didn’t much care for having two naked ‘SNL’ cast members hovering around him. You can watch the original video below. We say if you make a video like that, you’re just asking for nude parodies to be thrown back in your face.

It would seem, after watching this video of ESPN’s live College Game Day Final Four coverage, that when the camera cuts back to the panel the former coach is catching up on some long overdue napping. Knight (who doesn’t need no stinkin’ sports coat) appears to be asleep, only to be awaken when fellow old man Digger Phelps pokes him.

Now some have suggested that Knight was simply reading his notes with his head pointed down but look at how grumpy The General looks when Phelps jabs him. That’s what you call a just-woke-up face.

Then again, it’s Bobby Knight we’re talking about here, so it’s entirely possible he does look that way all day.

The annual NCAA Tournament kicks off Tuesday with two games featuring lower seeds vying for a spot in the field of 64.

The winners of those matchups will try to make history by then knocking off a top seed. No #16 seed has ever ousted a #1, but four #15s have taken care of #2s in the first round. Here’s a look back at some of the most memorable first round upsets that have at once propelled some lesser known schools to fame and busted up many pool participants’ brackets:

#15 HAMPTON – 2001

In their first March Madness appearance, the Hampton Pirates took down #2 Iowa State in a nail-biter, as Tarvis Williams scored with 6.9 seconds left to give them a 58-57 win. They’re the most recent team to pull off such a big upset. The team celebrated in style. “In a moment that has been part of March Madness montages ever since, Hampton coach Steve Merfeld was lifted in the air by his players, pumping his fists in jubilation,” reported SIKids.com. Hampton’s success was short-lived, though. They were cut down by #10 Georgetown in the second round.

#15 COPPIN STATE – 1997

“We believed. We always believes,” said one Coppin State player after his team knocked off #2 South Carolina in a first round shocker. They battled back against the Gamecocks in the second half before pulling away for a 78-65 victory. Coppin State fought hard in the next round against #10 Texas, but ultimately lost 82-81.

#15 SANTA CLARA – 1993

The Steve Nash-led Santa Clara Broncos showed they were a force to be reckoned with when they ousted #2 Arizona from the tournament. After Nash missed two key throws that could have sealed the game, the team still held on for a 64-61 win. “They didn’t panic,” said Santa Clara Coach Dick Davey, “but I did.” The Broncos lost by 11 to #7 Temple in the next round.

#15 RICHMOND – 1991

University of Richmond

They made history, becoming the first #15 seed to take down a #2 seed, with Syracuse being their victims. “In every huddle, we said it was our game, we were going to win it,” said coach Dick Tarrant. They also made television history with their 73-69 win. More importantly, it was the first year that CBS had the rights to the opening round of the tournament. Richmond shocked the world, in primetime, on network television, and CBS has paid the NCAA billions to keep every game on its airwaves since,” reported TIME. Richmond dropped their next game to Temple.

#14 OHIO – 2010

Ohio pulled off the biggest upset in recent years when it beat #3 Georgetown. “We may not be a better team, just got to be a better team on a given night,” said one Bobcats player. They pulled out to an early lead and never looked back, cruising 97-83. Senior Armon Bassett led the way with 32 points on 10-of-19 shooting for the Bobcats. They couldn’t keep the magic alive, dropping their next game by 15 to #6 Tennessee.

#14 NORTHWESTERN STATE – 2006

Jermaine Wallace sunk a last-second miracle three to give Northwestern State an unlikely victory against #3 Iowa. The final was 64-63. “I chased it down and looked at the clock,” Wallace said. “I knew I had chance for one or two dribbles, so I shot it and fell.” But they were brought back to reality in the second round, falling to sixth-seeded West Virginia.

#14 BUCKNELL – 2005

Bucknell took home a surprise win 64-63 as they defeated #3 Kansas in a tight game. “Certainly it’s the biggest win we’ve ever had,” said coach Pat Flannery. “Our kids battled their big kids all night long. Our kids made them work for everything they got.” It sent a message that smaller schools were a force worth worrying about. Bucknell lost to #6 Wisconsin two days later.

#14 – WEBER STATE – 1999

Harold “The Show” Arcineaux made a name for himself, scoring 36 points in a first round upset of #3 North Carolina, sending Weber State to a 76-74 win. “I didn’t imagine we’d lose in the first round,” North Carolina player Ademola Okulaja said. “We’re definitely the better team,” North Carolina’s Ed Cota said. “But in this tournament, the best team doesn’t always win.” Weber Stat lost to #6 Florida in the next round.

#14 – RICHMOND – 1998

Richmond struck again seven years later, eking out a 62-61 win over #3 South Carolina.  As great as the Richmond win was, the focus was largely on South Carolina’s second straight disappointing season. “Upsets are going to happen, it’s happened to us two years in a row,” said South Carolina coach Eddie Fogler. “We’re going to have to live with this, but it’s not the end of the world.” The Spiders dropped their next game to #11 Washington by 15 points.

#14 CHATTANOOGA – 1997

Chattanooga made a real run of it after beating #3 Georgia. They then tackled #6 Illinois. Ultimately, they were cut down by #10 Providence in the Sweet Sixteen. After the Illinois win, one Mocs player said, “They didn’t acknowledge who we were… They acted like they were going out for a scrimmage or something.”

Super Fighter

It has been more than 14 years since the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) has had a new game to make it feel special and useful. Now a gaming company has offered a new reason to plug the thing back into your TV’s A/V output — a brand-new game for the classic console.

The Super Fighter Team of San Diego, CA announced plans to release the first new game for the SNES, a side-scrolling supernatural shooter called ‘Nightmare Busters.’

Turns out, it’s not a totally brand new title for the classic gaming system. It’s actually an unreleased title that was supposed to hit shelves in the twilight of the SNES’ heyday but was shelved in the figurative sense.

So far, Super Fighter Team put a 2013 release date on the console game and have started taking pre-orders in anticipation of its release. A single cartridge will cost around $70, but can you put a price on something that will take you back to the carefree days of gaming when opening a fresh video game cartridge carried so much hope and wonder? Relive your childhood with footage from ‘Nightmare Busters’ below.

The Jeremy Lin tale is one of a basketball player who happens to be a little different than his teammates coming out of nowhere to dominate  from the point guard position. So where have we seen that story before?

Yup, ‘Teen Wolf,’ the 1985 movie in which Michael J. Fox played a much more hirsute and acrobatic version of Lin.

In the film, the theme song ‘Win in the End’ plays when our werewolf hero leads his team to victory in the final game. Hmm, ‘Win in the End.’ What do you want to bet the song is called ‘Lin in the End?’

That’s actually Mark Safan, who sung the original song, doing the vocals for ‘Lin in the End.’ Which is reminiscent of the ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’ theme redux John Parr recently did for Tim Tebow.

Since if they were able to snag Safan, do you think they could also get Jerry Levine — the guy who played “Stiles” in ‘Teen Wolf’ — to relocate to the Madison Square Garden and be Jeremy Lin’s best friend? We’d pay ten bucks to see that movie.

Check out the original ‘Win in the End’ below.

Of course, the ad is already available online, because ‘leaking’ your own commercial is the thing to do these days.

The new Dolls lineup features ex-Girlicious member Christina Sayers, ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ contestant Paula Van Oppen, British dancer/singer Lauren Bennett, and cheerleaders Vanessa Curry and Erica Jenkins formerly of the L.A. Lakers and Dallas Cowboys, respectively.

A 30-second teaser for the commercial shows all the new Dolls in typically skimpy outfits and, for added eye candy, GoDaddy spokeswoman Danica Patrick makes an appearance that culminates in implied nudity. It’s anybody’s guess what this has to do with GoDaddy’s web hosting services, but we’ll take it.

Awww. The only thing Bieksa was really attacked with was adorable. And since at least one of his assaulters shared his last name, it is no surprise that he was able to keep his cool during this egregious personal space invasion. Thankfully, the little fans didn’t throw any elbows.

“We know you can throw an 80 yard touchdown pass, but can you sing?” Paisley asked the Denver Broncos quarterback.

Country music fans might remember that the pair sang this song together before at a 2008 concert in Gainesville, FL. Is Tebow the next American Idol?

The Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan was about half empty during Tuesday night’s match up between the Detroit Pistons and Dallas Mavericks, providing spectators with ample opportunities to improve their seats. As you can see, two fans took this to the extreme, and actually ended up sitting on the visiting Mavericks’ bench, between Vince Cater and Delonte West.

While the Mavs were a man down, due to Jason Kidd’s bulky back, coach Rick Carlisle resisted the urge to send either of the sauced bench invaders into the game.

Check out the Pistons’ TV announcers surprised reaction to the bizarre scene below.

The former basketball player and outspoken media personality, Charles Barkley, delighted sports fans with a pitch-perfect parody of Shaquille O’Neal on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Almost as entertaining, though, was when he got a taste of his own medicine.

Kenan Thompson joined Barkley on the replicated set of ‘Inside the NBA’ as — guess who? — Barkley. The two teamed up to slam the former pro basketball star with some of the funniest Shaq jokes of all time, like, “I’d rather be in ‘Free Willy 2′ than ‘Kazaam’ one.”

In the signature play of West Virginia’s 70 to 33 thrashing of Clemson in this year’s Orange Bowl, Mountaineer safety Darwin Cook returned a fumble 99-yards for a touchdown.

After he crossed the goal line for the score, Cook spotted Obie, the Orange Bowl mascot, cheering in the back of the endzone and delivered to the oversized fruit what wresting fans would identify as a flying clothesline.

While Cook initially seemed pretty pleased with his unique TD celebration, he did express some remorse when he learned that there was a woman inside of the mascot, telling her “I didn’t know you were a girl, I apologize.” Watch Obie get tackled below.

This dexterous fella has developed a novel technique for arcade basketball — he takes all the balls from the neighboring games and rapidly fires them all at the hoop using both hands.

The innovator also manages to be impressively accurate while doing so, shattering the high scores and the hearts of any small child hoping to win a stuffed Angry Bird.

If this guy has somehow tricked a girl into being his sweetheart, we imagine she has a house full of plush toys. Unless he also applies the rapid fire approach to dating.

While Deron Williams is perfectly capable of dunking on his own power, the New Jersey Nets’ point guard got some extra air on his way to slam during a preseason game via an unlikely source.

New York Knicks’ forward Amare Soudemire grabbed Williams mid-air, as he leapt toward the hoop, and then helped propel the opposing player to the goal.

A Cowboys Stadium sideline cart made a break for it this past Saturday and plowed into a group of people on the field following a Texas 5A Division II game.

Fox Sports Southwest caught the entire accident on video as the cart crashed through a group of coaches and field staff during a celebration of Spring Dekaney High’s 34-14 win over Cibolo Steele.

Seven of the men hit by the cart were treated for minor injuries. One suffered some leg abrasions and was brought to a hospital as a “precautionary examination.”

We’re glad that no one was seriously injured but it’s hard to ignore the fact that this is the most dynamic rushing display at Cowboys Stadium this season.
