Please post any videos of impressive athletes in actions. I realize most of you know who Alex Ovechkin is, but this is a higher quality video than the one that was posted here during the NHL season.

Do any of you have any youtube(or whatever) videos that I should view? I love sports because of the "overman" athletes, the guys who stand above the rest and do things that we mortals shouldn't be able to. Hopefully this is a long thread, if not, well, hope you enjoy this video of the guy I believe will be the greatest to ever lace them up.

Other videos worth checking out:

Ronnie Brown - Auburn (NCAA)

You will understand the meaning of "The Big Old Stone" after watching the Brown video

MLB Fights (not quite what I'm looking for, but I know some of you will enjoy this, including myself. Izzy Alcantara kicking the catcher at the 2:30 mark and taking on the whole infield is classic)

Greatest MLB Fight EVER! Actually its a minor league(Schaumberg,IL) fight that occured a few weeks ago and is surprisingly getting no airplay at all, even though there are more fists flying in this fight than the past 100 MLB fights combined.

The catcher kicker and the NOlan Ryan headbut are absolute classics.

Great view with field audio

That's awesome.

(I wish I could slow that down too, the girl who passes by right in front of the camera looks a little like Jennifer Connelly to me, but it is way to fast to tell)

Ah, nice job. Probably not her, though I wondered as it was just about when she started to get into the movie business, and a part as an extra (like Jean Claude) wouldn't have been unheard of I guess.

Getting back on topic (although I hate to with the fantasticness of that clip), I present Brian Leonard. And I'm sure this has been posted plenty of times by people like me, Cthomer, and General Mike, but nevertheless...

Well worth your 30 minutes if you have any interest in boxing. GREAT brawl, super hot crowd, and I think that Jim Lampley, Emmanuel Steward, and Larry Merchant don't get enough credit for being one of the best modern announcing teams, regardless of sport.
