I knew what this was going to be before I clicked the link. Yes, that one was pretty epic.

Can it be football, but not soccer? I saw [this one](http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/) last night and thought it was pretty cool; around 27 seconds into the _Highlights: HAM 24, SSK 37_ video, watch Dave Stala hackey-sack a football.
