Peyton Manning, David Beckham, killer baseball bees and a shocking layup

Welcome to a new regular selection of the best north American sports clips on the web, from the sublime to the ridiculous. Just click on the links. 1. Peyton Manning Inspired '70s Soft Rock Parodies The best way to understand the story of Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Peyton Manning's release by the Indianapolis Colts and subsequent wooing by other franchises is via the power of song. In particular, YouTube parodies of '70s soft rock classics. So, to the tune (?) of Elton John's "Candle in the Wind", one monotone fan successfully summarizes Manning's Colts career even while valiantly losing the fight against the very concept of meter . A little bit easier on the ears is this remake of David Loggins's "Please Come To Boston" that gives voice to the franchises trying to sign Manning , including the Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins. Forget reading Peter King or listening to John Clayton, you can learn everything you need to know about Peyton Manning's free agency experience through these songs. 2. McLovin's Breakdown Breaks Down Now, if those parodies didn't give enough insight into what's going on with Peyton Manning, here's Andrew "McLovin" Perloff using simple props to explain how the quarterback's decision will affect the… the… oh…. Oh dear… Yes, let's just move on. 3. What To Do With A Basketball To keep with the theme from the sublime to the ridiculous, this week gifted us both the coolest dunk of the season, this phenomenal windmill dunk from Gerald Green of the New Jersey Nets … 4. What Not To Do With A Basketball …And the worst missed layup of the season from the Boston Celtics' Rajon Rondo . For the record, Rondo is the superstar player and Gerald Green has been out of the league for awhile although it's difficult to tell from these contrasting highlights. 5. When Taunting Goes Wrong: David Beckham Edition When I was encouraged to include a Major League Soccer clip, I was adamant: Only if it contained David Beckham, tossed beer and toilet paper AND a game-tying goal . What were the odds? 6. BEES! This is dramatic firsthand footage of what happened when a Spring Training baseball game was invaded by a swarming mass of killer bees ! NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! Okay, it's absolutely totally for the faint of heart. Note: No relationship to the classic "Bad News Bees" Saturday Night Live sketch . 7. It Ain't Midnight Yet Y'All! If this high school basketball announcer doesn't have a future in broadcasting, I'm sure there's a Pixies tribute band looking for a lead singer. 8. Reader's Choice: Always Linning Last week we featured a selection of songs about Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin . Reader Josh Raff replied: " This one has surely been overlooked . Enjoy." Thanks Josh, as Linsanity settles into Lindifference, it's nice to have a majority of the Lin-puns in one very catchy song, although "You can't catch me I'm the Lin-gerbread Man" was perhaps too much. 9. Hockey Goalie Allows 13 Goals, Gets Standing Ovation It's absolutely terrible when a goalie allows 13 goals in a single game, but when it's a center forced into emergency goalie duty, it's downright heartwarming. Here's a collection of all of Connor Crisp's saves . 10. YouTube Classic: Jose Canseco's Greatest Home Run With the report that exiled slugger Jose Canseco shockingly failed a drug test while attempting to play baseball in Mexico, it seemed the perfect time to highlight the most memorable home run of Canseco's career. No, I'm not talking about any of the many, many home runs that Canseco actually hit, but the flyball that bounced off his head and over a wall for a home run . It's a blunder so legendary that minor league baseball teams have built entire promotions upon it . No wonder Jose believes he's the real life Kenny Powers.
