Cuddly Andr�s Iniesta befriends a bear, a linesman loses his wig and the most intimidating under-12s atmosphere ever
1) Ever wondered what La Liga players do on their winter break? They make weird films of course ... well, Villarreal's players do, round at Giuseppe Rossi's house. And Barcelona's Andr�s Iniesta too who, when he isn't being lauded by his enemies, plays hide-and-seek with really big bears. Oh and while we're on the subject of Barcelona players, where's Xavi?
2) If we all had 1980s Volvos perhaps Brits would be able to drive in the snow. Then again maybe you need to be a middle-aged Swede with a penchant for synth-pop who appears to be suffering a breakdown to truly master it.
3) Is it bad form to take out an NFL player who isn't wearing a helmet? Yeah, it probably is. San Diego Charger Mike Tolbert takes it all in his stride, though. Losing his lid then getting decked doesn't bother him one jot.
4) How do you make a linesman go from looking like Elton John to Pierluigi Collina in the space of a second? Easy, whack the ball at his head and knock his rug off.
5) Take a clay-pigeon slingshot into the desert and some of Europe's best golfers and watch what happens. It's good, but not as much fun as skimming golf balls over a loch towards a gong.
6) Are futsal players better than football players? On the evidence of this jaw-droppingly good goal you'd have to argue that they are.
Our favourites from last week's blog
1) Is this the most intimidating atmosphere at an under-12s football match ever? It takes competitive fatherhood to a leg-wobblingly frightening level.
2) Brendan Venter's monosyllabic interview after Saracens' defeat to Racing Metro was cringe-inducing, but at least it was intentional, unlike the Australian rugby league player Darius Boyd who simply doesn't know how to elaborate.
3) If you can't jump over them, erm, don't bother. Here's the route-one approach to hurdling.
4) Lobbing 23,000 teddy bears on to the ice rink during the Calgary Hitmen's NHL match with Red Deer Rebels looks like a lot of fun. It was also for charidee, so no sniping about what a waste it was ...
5) With things not going so well for Paul Collingwood with the bat in Perth, hopefully he'll find some inspiration in the field at Melbourne instead. Well, he has got previous.
6) Do not click on this link if you've just stuffed yourself full of Christmas trimmings.
