Small Fat Man...Handcuffed Himself to the Goal

While the staff here at PengoSports were a watching exciting English Premier League Tuesday soccer action on Fox Soccer Channel, Everton hosting Manchester City, just before halftime, to our stunned amazement this wonderful bit of weird happened:

From the Guardian (the best newspaper in the world):

8.42pm: There's a break in play at Goodison Park because a small fat man in a baseball cap has sauntered over to Joe Hart's goal and handcuffed himself to the post. It's been a very long day, but I'm pretty sure I'm not hallucinating. He's got his arms either side of the upright with the bracelets round each wrist.

8.44pm: At Goodison Park, the players are standing around looking bemused as lots of stewards and police try to release the bloke who's handcuffed himself to the post, as he tells them all to eff off! Somebody produces a key or bolt-cutters, the cuffs are removed and he's dragged away.

The half finally came, Everton 0 - Man City 0 - Short Fat Man 1.

UPDATED! Everton wins 1-0. Fat man in hat protests a shi*ty airline:

Story at the Daily Mail

And now, for your pleasure, here's another freak in goal:

SWEET! Just SWEET!

Tonight! Well, Wednesday at 3:30 am, Queensland vs New South Wales at ANZ Stadium in Sydney in State of Origin 2! Set ye alarms ye scabs! Origin is here!

This Pirate Dude at the ballgame,

we guess, is an Origin fan

A huge PengoSports shout out to Russell Crowe, actor and the owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs (PengoSports team of choice in the world of the National Rugby League), we Americans can now watch the State of Origin matches AND the NRL Grand Final, LIVE on Fox Soccer Channel (Comcast 125 in the 719).

Never experienced Origin? All we can say is WOW! If there is a more intense sporting spectacle PengoSports has not stumbled across it. Imagine the Super Bowl, World Series and NBA Finals rolled into the awesomeness of the Stanley Cup Finals plus a couple of monkey knife fights tossed in for good measure!

Origin game time 4:00 am, pre-game at 3:30 am. The Grand Final is on October 2nd. Pre-game to start at 330 am Mountain Time. Huzzah to Mr. Crowe! Huzzah indeed!

Thank you Mr. Crowe. Thank you.

And then, and then! Later Wednesday night, GAME 7. Boston. Vancouver. Hate. Cheap shots. A sieve. A stone wall. Punks. Greatness. The Stanley Cup will be awarded. What a series! What a playoffs! What a great sport is the hockey! PLUS! We guarantee a Lebron-Free experience (although is Luongo plays like he's in Boston he will become the Lebron of Canada).

GAME 7!

Rave on. Rave. On.
