Tim Tebow trips over own shoelaces, botches routine fly ball in Spring Training game

“This is the most Mets thing ever” is one of the more overused phrases in baseball, particularly because the Mets do “the most Mets thing(s) ever” on a regular basis. They've actually watered down their own badness. But if there was ever a situation “the most Mets thing ever” phrase applied, it's to Tim Tebow's all-time not-top-10 play from a Spring Training game on Friday.

Tim Tebow started the game in left field, eventually finishing with two strikeouts in two at-bats. But it was his defense that was especially ugly, mainly on a play in the top of the ninth in a game the Mets led 3-2 over the Cardinals. With two outs and nobody on, St. Louis second baseman Max Schrock hit a routine fly ball to left, giving Tebow a chance to catch the final out. Instead, the former Heisman Trophy winner tripped over his own shoelaces, falling face first into the grass and watching as the ball landed in fr..

Darts has the best entrance music in all of sports. This is not up for debate

It's been awhile since we've covered Darts here at The Loop, and frankly, that's upsetting. Night Four of the 2020 Unibet Premier League in Dublin provided enough content to last a lifetime, but we'll do our best to sum it all up below.
First up was one of the great feats in darts, and perhaps all of international sport: a nine-darter. Michael Smith of England was the latest to pull it off, throwing a nine-darter in the fourth leg of his best-of-12 match against Northern Ireland's Daryl Gurney. It was, as they say in Europe, great “scenes”:

For the darts noobs, the game is called 501, which is the amount of points both players start with. To win you have to get down to 0, and one of the quickest ways to do that is to hit the “treble 20” which is the spot Smith hits on the inner ring his first six throws. Each treble 20 is 60 points (60+60+60=180), so after hitting three of those your first three throws,..

This Anthony Kim song parody is so good it might actually bring him back

Ian WaltonFor golf fans, Anthony Kim is gone, but not forgotten. Gone from professional golf, that is. We know he's still alive because he pops up from time to time in a pet store or even on a golf course. Sadly, it's been nearly eight years since Kim last teed it up in a PGA Tour event. But if anything could bring him back (he's still only 34!), maybe it's this song.

A couple weeks ago we shared Sam Harrop's musical parody in which he took a classic REO Speedwagon song and wondered when Tony Finau will win again. It was so well done that even Tony got a kick out of it. And now, Sam has turned his attention to the MIA AK with a fantastic followup effort to Take That's “Back For Good.” Enjoy:

So catchy. So moving. And yet, so funny. Again, it's tough to single out one line, but this part was outstanding:
“So what club are you in? Has Robert Allen..
