The San Antonio Spurs beat the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night, giving them a valuable 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals. A 2-0 series lead is pretty exciting stuff, especially for one fan who was caught screaming "We did it!" at the top of his lungs shortly after the final buzzer. 

Remarkably, this is the second time we've highlighted a Spurs fan this month. You might recall that the Spurs-Warriors game, one which many have labeled as a classic, was almost ruined thank to the shrieks and screams from one loud female fan.

Aside from the fact the "We did it!" comment brings up the ancient debate of fans referring to themselves as members of the team, it's sort of odd that this individual chose such a phrase in the first place. Winning Game 2 doesn't seem to warrant a "We did it!" celebration, does it? Aren't those types of comments usually reserved for when your team wins it all and hoists a trophy? If the Spurs end up taking the title, let's just hope this gentleman is in attendance. The sports world deserves to hear his reaction if this is how he reacts to a Game 2 victory.

Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer in this generation and perhaps the most recognizable current athlete on the planet, has never truly had a rival.  Sure Phil Mickelson has his followers, Vijay Singh had his run-ins with Woods, and Rory McIlroy may be the next thing.  But Tiger Woods has never had that one person who could consistently challenge him on the course, draw the best out of him, and occasionally beat him head to head while looking him in the eye.  Palmer had Nicklaus, Nicklaus had Watson, and Woods has... Bob May?  Y.E. Yang?  

While never being able to best him on the course, Sergio Garcia has been the closest thing Woods has had to a rival off the course.  The two golfers have never been close and Garcia's exuberance and emotion, especially seen during intense Ryder Cup matches with the two on different sides, paints a completely different portrait compared to Woods' stoicism.  The differences between Woods and Garcia reportedly date back to the made-for-TV Battle at Bighorn in 2000 when Garcia beat Woods in a match play event and celebrated his victory a little too much for Woods' liking.  Over the years, resentment grew and came to a boiling point at this year's Players Championship.

Professional football is so powerful in the United States that even the Pro Bowl manages to perform quite well in terms of viewership. But the NFL knows that the game itself sucks and the league continues to consider ways to tweak it in order to improve on those ratings. The latest gimmicky consideration comes via NFL Network's Albert Breer per Pro Football Talk: 

The Los Angeles Kings have had the best team Twitter account in sports.  Funny, irreverent, engaging, topical, not afraid to take a dig at their rivals, worth following even if you weren't a Kings fan... pretty much the opposite of every single other North American professional sports team that operates in the social media space.

And then, for some reason, the Kings decided to hand over their Twitter account to a Los Angeles radio host - KROQ's Kevin Ryder.  It's a gimmick teams and leagues will often do, bringing in a guest tweeter to engage with fans and tweet from the team's official account to provide a few extra laughs or answer questions or be "edgy."  Who knows.  It's usually a pointless exercise that adds nothing (if I wanted to follow these people I could figure it out how to do it pretty easily), but these official Twitter accounts do it anyways.

.@thekevinryder is taking over @lakings for the 2nd period.... we've made a huge mistake.

Who could have predicted how scary accurate the Kings' prediction would be!  During that second period, Ryder tweeted out this sexual assault joke to the Kings' 225,000+ followers...

How did a man who started at ESPN in 1987 as a freelance researcher become a cult favorite and television star nearly 20 years later?

After working behind the scenes on the ESPN trivia show 2 Minute Drill in the early 2000s, Howie Schwab walked into Mark Shapiro's Bristol office and was told he was going to be the star of ESPN's next game show - Stump The Schwab.

"Are you [bleepin] serious?" was Schwab's first reaction to the ESPN Senior Vice President.

After a successful run of four seasons, 64 wins and 16 losses, Howie Schwab, ESPN researcher became known as The Schwab, sports trivia guru.

"I'm very happy that people respected the show and enjoyed the show. I never thought of myself as a cult hero or a TV person," Schwab said Tuesday.  "I've worked behind the scenes for 26 years.  My whole thing about doing TV is having fun, I just enjoy myself."  

Fox Sports 1 has made another big-name hire. Retired tennis player Andy Roddick will join the network as a co-host of Fox Sports Live. Roddick joins ESPN's Charissa Thompson as well as TSN SportsCentre anchors Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole as the key figures announced thus far for Fox Sports 1's daily news and highlights show.

According to SI.com's Richard Deitsch:

Ed Note: Did you know that ESPN college football analyst Ed Cunningham doubled as an award winning documentary producer?  While he's away from his ESPN duties, Cunningham dedicates himself to filmmaking.  Bloguin's Aaron Torres caught up with Cunningham at Crystal Ball Run and talked with him about his latest film project - a bizarre story about a North Carolina man's quest to get back his severed foot.  A bizarre, but entirely true story...

Here at Crystal Ball Run, we often joke that sometimes, the world of college football really does seem stranger than fiction. Only for ESPN analyst Ed Cunningham, his life is almost the exactly opposite; the wacky world of Les Miles and conference realignment is nothing compared to the work he does away from the football field.

That’s because when Cunningham isn’t sitting in a press box every fall Saturday, he spends his hours on Monday through Friday as a noted documentary film producer. Cunningham’s IMDB page is pretty extensive, with work on such prominent titles as “The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters” and the Academy Award winning “Undefeated” about a Memphis-area high school football team.

Yet it’s the film that Cunningham is currently working on- and needs your help to complete- which is his wackiest yet. It’s called “Finders Keepers” and well, it redefines the term “stranger than fiction.”

The staff at Awful Announcing scours feeds from all over the world to find the most amazing videos for you. For this story, we bring you a visual treasure from the Turkish Football Championship that took place over the weekend. Galatasaray won the title. Over whom it doesn't matter and you probably don't care.

After the game, Emmanuel Eboué decided to mess with the team's in-house reporter, Murat Borlu by picking him up, laying him on the ground, snatching his microphone away and interviewing him. Eboué ignored Murat's requests to speak in Turkish by speaking in English and takes over with one of the most bizarre field level interviews you'll ever see.

Now imagine if Dwyane Wade or LeBron James decided to pick up Craig Sager and lay him on the basketball court to conduct an interview. That would be one of the biggest viral videos in the history of YouTube.

But in our search for this video, we also discovered that Eboué has a history of messing with Murat. Here's Eboué firing balls at Murat during an interview.

And one more of Eboué picking on poor Murat.

Here's hoping we see more of the Eboué and Murat Show next season.
