What's the last thing you want on a cold, rainy day? How about an front flip followed by a ball fired off your face? This young lad got exactly that, not to mention a firm place in YouTube history.

The 24-year-old striker, who recently signed an £80,000-a-week deal, was asked what he would do if he was PM. Adebayor, who scored 30 goals in 48 games last season, only signed his previous contract in the summer of 2007 [. Click to continue reading...

It's so nice that the drought seems to be over or at least improving. We've had a lot of rain this season, compared to almost none last Fall.

Okay, so the title could be misleading but it wouldn't at all surprise me if it happened again. But I found some funny photos on the LA Galaxy's team blog today.
