(5) Hello, I am LIONEL MESSI IS AN ALIEN.
Man ... I mean, I’m kind of an idiot when it comes to physics, but I’m still amazed when a pitcher throws a curveball. At least I understand that there’s a twist of the wrist involved, and that the fingers can grip the seam of the ball and make it spin that way.
This is a different matter. This is a ball in motion that is struck by a foot, which cannot grip things, and it’s done extemporaneously, through a space that opened up 0.5 seconds ago. Lionel Messi is not the only soccer player to have done this, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t absolutely bananas clownshoes insane.
(12) Hello. I am ROB GRONKOWSKI SHOULD BE DEAD.
I’ll just allow this frame to speak for itself:
