Alabama's Trevor Releford Beat The Georgia Bulldogs On A Nice Little Floater From Beyond Half-Court

Sun, 10 Mar 2013 10:00:08 EDT

At this point, it's useless to compare buzzer-beaters. This one's the best, that one's the best, the one with the chunky Canadians is the best—it's all relative. But if you're a fan of unexpected end-of-game twists, graceful floaters from about 55 feet away, and jubilant hometown crowds, we recommend you watch the video above. Trevor Releford has a nifty trick he'd like to show you. More »

It Just Got Really Dusty In South Carolina

Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:00:08 EDT

Not relevant, but still awesome.Welcome to the 578,682,357,683th installment of With Leather’s “We Are Absolute, Unapologetic Suckers For Any Video Of U.S. Soldiers Surprising Their Families At Sporting Events” and today’s video clip is a 5-star general of a doozie. During Saturday’s otherwise uneventful, one-sided 35-7 South Carolina Gamecocks win over the Georgia Bulldogs, the wife and two children of Sergeant First Class Scott Faile were brought on to the field to receive a special video message from their hero.In case you’re afraid to show emotion in front of your co-workers, here’s the breakdown from WLTX:The family (his wife two children) were brought onto the field as the Columbia Metropolitan Airport MilitaryFamily of the Game. They then saw a videotaped message from Sgt. Faile, explaining how much he loved and appreciated their support. At the end of the message, Faile said how he wished he could be there with them to see the Gamecocks beat up on Georgia.But that blurb does absolutely zero justice to the actual video, which I command you to watch after the jump. OBEY!This is right up there with the Fenway Park soldier return, but I’m not about to pick favorites here. What I wonder, though, is at what point a family finally doesn’t fall for this and when the soldier walks onto the field, they’re like, “Oh hey, what’s up. There’s some pizza in the fridge and the car’s been overheating.” That would be kind of fun, right? Oh what do you people know.(Banner via)The post It Just Got Really Dusty In South Carolina appeared first on With Leather.

Faces Of ‘Freude: Poor, Poor Derek Dooley

Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:00:05 EDT

My friends and I were joking this weekend, as I struggled through watching the UCF Knights blow their game against the Missouri Tigers and the Miami Dolphins really blow their game against the Arizona Cardinals, that I could just do these Faces of ‘Freude (new name, this one’s sticking) posts with pictures of me screaming at bar TVs for three hours every Saturday and Sunday. And yeah, once the Orlando Magic season starts, I may be able to power the entire planet with just my rage. But I’m not sure the world is ready for so many pictures of how handsome I am.Thankfully, we have Derek Dooley and his derpy dome to fill the void. On the surface, a 3-2 record shouldn’t have a team’s fans searching for the world’s tallest bridge, but Dooley’s Tennessee Volunteers dropped to 0-2 in the SEC after yesterday’s exciting 51-44 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs. I like Dooley and I don’t have any problems with the Vols, so I think it’s encouraging that they’re putting up such a good fight. Hopefully they’ll start winning more so fans can finish washing away the Lane Kiffin stink.But in the meantime, keep baking those frownies, college football fans.(Banner via, screen caps via my neighbor’s pool boy, ParadigmShift, of Twitter and Throw the Flag fame.)Trust me, guys. I feel your pain.(Via)Then there’s Captain Victory here, as Urban Meyer and the Ohio State Buckeyes peed on the leg of every Michigan State fan by squeaking out a 17-16 win. UGH.Damn it, Mark Dantonio. You had one job to do. Hey, you look at me when I’m wagging my finger at you through the Internet.Much better.Meanwhile, congrats to this Ohio State fan on his millions of dollars.Seriously, this is my submission for the Sports Couple of the Year.No Dairy Queen for you guys after the game.The tiara on the right makes this picture so amazing.(Via)This is my favorite picture of the week because 1) this play was incredible, 2) that guy in the middle is having the most appropriate reaction to the one-handed touchdown catch, 3) Middle Tennessee State had at least three Play of the Year qualifiers in this game, because those guys were playing balls-out football, and 4) I got crap on Twitter because I said that the Georgia Tech uniforms, and they are.(Via)The post Faces Of ‘Freude: Poor, Poor Derek Dooley appeared first on With Leather.

That Scholarship Changed My Life Forever

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 15:30:02 EDT

As part of WNBA.com's celebration of the 40th anniversary of Title IX, we've featured a women sports pioneer, a politician instrumental in the passage of the landmark legislation, an early beneficiary of the law from the Ivy League, athletic icons from sports other than basketball and current WNBA stars who grew up in a world with female sports role models and with the opportunity to play in an American professional sports league.

In our latest installment, Teresa Edwards, winner of five Olympic basketball medals, more than any other American -- man or woman -- sheds some light on the time period between the establishment of Title IX and the birth of the Women's National Basketball Association.

"First of all, I want go on the record with one thing: I totally capitalized on Title IX, directly benefited from it, and for that I will always be grateful," said Edwards, who has been busy in her role as Chef de Mission of Team USA for the London 2012 Olympic Games. "I was in school when it passed, and by the time I was in high school, it was something very real to me, that there would be increased opportunities for me, a female athlete, to be able to actually go to college and play the sport I love, while also getting a great education."

As a star basketball player at Cairo High School in Georgia, Edwards led the Syrupmakers to a 58-3 record in her four-year career, which piqued the interest of college coaches that now had incentives inspired by Title IX to offer young female athletes.

"Scholarships were in place for girls and I was highly sought after, but it was all so new to me and others of my generation," said Edwards, who eventually opted for her home state Georgia Bulldogs. "Sports for girls at that time, was like a hobby, entertainment. But that scholarship changed my life forever. I was the first in my family to go to college and there is no doubt that Title IX and the opportunity it gave me to go to Georgia was the key factor, along with my ability to play."

Edwards could indeed play, leading the Lady Bulldogs to the Final Four in both 1983 and 1985 during her All-American career, which caught the eye of the U.S. Olympic Committee, resulting in yet another first, as Edwards made her first of five Olympic appearances in the 1984 Los Angeles Games. The youngest player on the squad at 20-years-old, Edwards earned a gold medal, along with veteran teammates Cheryl Miller, Lynette Woodard and Anne Donovan. Los Angeles was the first of Edwards' four basketball gold medals, a feat equaled only by Lisa Leslie, Edwards' teammate during the 1996 Atlanta and 2000 Sydney Games, who also struck gold in 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing. In Barcelona in 1992, Edwards earned a bronze medal.

But that scholarship changed my life forever. I was the first in my family to go to college and there is no doubt that Title IX and the opportunity it gave me to go to Georgia was the key factor,

"My Olympic experience has been a wonderful dream, a wonderful journey for me," said Edwards. "To represent your country is a very high honor and I'm very proud of what my teammates and I have achieved for our country and I'm very proud of all our Team USA participants, medalists or not, over the years."

Unlike current Team USA stars Tamika Catchings, Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird, two-time gold medalists shooting for a third this Summer in London, Edwards didn't have the option of graduating from college, playing in the Olympics AND playing professionally for the WNBA, as the league didn't exist in the early 80's. According to Edwards, the access to domestic professional leagues like the WNBA is another opportunity that can trace its beginnings to Title IX.

"I feel strongly that every young player should be educated on Title IX, because it's not an issue of sports, it's an issue of civil rights and that is something that needs to be treasured and protected," said Edwards. "We have great young players who have just come out of college and are moving right into the WNBA now, who when they were girls had the chance to look up to Lisa Leslie or who saw [Diana] Taurasi playing on TV, and that is great. But we need to remember that wasn't always the case. I never saw any women basketball players, so my favorite player was Dr. J!"

After playing nine professional seasons abroad, in Italy, Japan, Spain and France, Edwards did eventually get the opportunity to play pro ball in the United States, first with the ABL and later with the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA.

I'm real excited about where we are today, with the WNBA as something for young girls to aspire to achieve.

"It was tough at the time, seeing the men players go right from college and into the NBA, and not having that same chance to play at home, but we did what we had to do and playing overseas was a great experience," said Edwards. "But I'm real excited about where we are today, with the WNBA as something for young girls to aspire to achieve. It's a great thing, and much of that is directly as a result of Title IX, which we should never forget. The sky is the limit now and we need to keep pushing."
