"Ay Sanka! Ya dead, mon?"
That wrestling moment with all the flipping was pretty smooth for me. Like a twist ending that just keeps twisting.
Ya mon
Moneyball, as a film, was interesting. Worth a gander.
As a software developer I found it to be fantastic from the comp sci. angle and compelling as a drama. Let's be honest; if Brad Pitt or Ryan Reynolds are involved in a project, it's worth your two hours and twenty bucks. They don't miss.
In soccer passing the ball between defenders legs is a form of mockery so the last clip was extra juicy
KAN TEEEEEEEEE
Nut meg! It's petty and I love that.
The one car racing video you didn't know what it was happened to be Drag Racing. The top vehicles can reach over 300MPH in a thousand foot run.
IRT drag car race; very fast cars can use a parachute to help them slow down. When the drag car went into out of control wheelie, appears the driver activated the parachute to hopefully slow down and regain control.
Thanks for explaining this!
@@NoProtocol You are welcome!
4:56 -- That deer gets it. He knows the game!
I watch Snooker and that shot from Reanne Evans wasn't special. She had better shots in that match, the shot they showed was fairly common for professional Snooker players.
Unless it was the leaning over? I will knock a few of those in down the snooker club after a couple of pints.
@@SirHargreeves That lean might seem impressive but Reanne is short, she'd used to those shots. Graham Dott took the majority of his shots like that. I can't explain it's inclusion...
*Pool. In Snooker all the balls, except the cueball, are red and don't have numbers. She's playing Pool
@The Great Amida Nope. In snooker there's a yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black. Including the reds and the cue ball.
That was an easy shot. I would do that shot one-handed with ease.
The guy doing "hurdles" is Stefan Hom, Swedish olympic gold high jumper. One of few guys over 2.40 meters, and record holder of in-doors I think. He also has the "unofficial" world record of being the one who's jumped the highest above his own height. High-jumpers are known for being extremely tall, whereas Stefan was quite average (around 180 cm or so).
The hurdles were just part of his regular training routine :) #casual
Holm*
Thank you for the information, it is remarkable to watch:)
Holm*
He's from the same town as my mother.
Holm is under 180 cms, more like 178. He's an amazing high jumper, so technical.
Whoever made the video you're reacting to obviously knows sweet FA about snooker. That was a perfectly routine shot, performed in a perfectly normal manner!
Yeah I don't get it. Was it because it was a woman? Even then, Reanne Evans has won plenty of frames against men, nothing too special about that either.
Not if she is right handed, which most people are.
@@krystofdayne I've got a feeling the clip was there to witness her behind - which is bizarre.
@@theshiftybloke4672 yeah now that I think about it, you're probably right, it was probably just there for the clickbait thumbnail. Still kinda weird though, you would think they would include some women playing beach volleyball or wrestling or something like that for that purpose, they are dressed much more provocatively. Maybe because it looks kinda impressive in a still the way she stretches for the shot? Still not at all unusual for a snooker player. Idk, just kinda weird.
@@krystofdayne Yeah there is plenty more provocative outfits in sports, so who knows!
The one with the car flip you asked about was Drag Racing. There are several different classes. Those looked like "Street" cars.
That may be a street class, but could also be any number of Sportsman classes too. That one is pretty wild that his chute saved him from flipping backwards, and came down wheels down. I saw a guy running 1/8 mile once that had a couple nitrous kits, and power wheelied off the line, and with each consecutive stage. Set it down from the third wheelie at about the 600 ft mark. That was something I'll never forget. Oddly enough, it was a red first gen Camaro similar to the one in the video, but I think it was a '67 or '68, not a '69.
@@mikefelty2625 I'm not really familiar with drag racing all that well. I only know a couple of the classes I've seen in passing. :)
That was a fun one! The Randy Johnson vs a seagull comes to mind as a one in a million moment, but probably too graphic for most people.
I was going to comment on that, but you beat me to it
Yes! I was going to suggest that one, too. I'd wager it's far, far beyond 1 in 1M, when you consider how many other points in space (and time) that bird could have been in. It's one of the best demonstrations I know of that any stochastic process will eventually produce all possible outcomes, given enough trials.
I recall it as a dove not a seagull.
Also did you know that pigeons are doves?
@@moonshinethics You're probably right. Pigeon, dove, seagull, whatever it was, it ain't no more.
That planking out on the bike is pretty brilliant. he has a nice downhill section and he is reducing his aerodynamic profile to a fraction of normal. I'm kind of surprised you don't see that a lot on any race with a long downhill section.
Someone in another comment said it's now outlawed
You ever see the Randy Johnson pitch that disintegrated a bird on impact? Now THAT's the most memorable baseball one in million moment lol
I actually did the same thing (unintentionally) as that motorcyclist riding on the side of his downed motorcycle. I wasn't facing the direction of travel, as he was, but facing opposite the direction of travel watching the pretty sparks rising up. I was completely unhurt, fortunately. I never thought of it as being as rare an occurance as 1 in a million.
Man you were lucky. I assume your motorcycle was fucked? Better that than getting torn to shreds though..
@@GerryBolger I was indeed lucky. Neither I nor my motorcycle hit anything (the incident occurred because I took a tight curve too fast in the rain). My motorcycle was scratched up (sparks had been produced in abundance) but suffered no significant damage. I rode the it home after taking a couple of minutes to calm down.
I'm quite fond of the Roberto Carlos free kick, I've never seen it replicated
Im sat here like a martial arts nerd on fizievs lean back going ye thats fiziev he's a special talent but shes not to know. Then says " thats fiziev and hes fighting gaethje this weekend" damn... showed me. This channel is so good.
Love your videos!!! Always quality and interesting content
Glad you like them (:
I'm pretty sure that move lying horizontal on the bicycle is outlawed now. A great sports book is Eleven Rings by Phil Jackson. It's a great read for bball fans, but also a great insight into leadership techniques.
Fever Pitch is a sports book I would highly recommend. I think it works even if you don't care about soccer as it's mostly about life for an obsessive fan.
Now I'm going to have to watch Cool runnings again lol.
0:10 Not the most interesting story in the world but a few years ago I was walking around London (I'm not from there) just enjoying a nice stroll, and I happened to see media surrounding Stephen Curry while he was swishing some hoops for a photoshoot or something. I had no idea who he was (cause I'm British and don't follow basketball) but I lurked for a little while cause I knew he was obviously famous. It's interesting how in big cities you can just find yourself in encounters like that. Happened to me in London a few times
You publish the coolest stuff. Wish I actually knew you, conversations would be so interesting. Thanks.
Best regards from Indiana.
Thanks fir mixing it up. You play to your own beat when it comes to content
3 sports books you may wanna check out are "The Spencer Haywood Rule" by Marcus J. Spears, "Jim Brown: The Fierce Life of an American Hero" by Mike Freeman, and the memoir "Jay Williams: Life is not an Accident"...and a GREAT article "The Loser: The Most Honest Sports Story Ever Told" by Gay Talese, it's a profile on Floyd Patterson in a 1964 issue of Esquire Magazine 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
A short stories book: "Rope Burns: Stories from the Corner" by F.X. Toole. One of the stories - "Million $$$ Baby", was adapted to film, and won four academy awards, with Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman and Hilary Swank.
Other short stories collections is the early ones by Ray Bradbury ("Fahrenheit 451"), proving science fiction can be both philosophical and beautiful (and without ray guns and aliens).
Cool runnings!!
"Sanka, ya dead mon?" Haha
One of my favs...
The sport at 4:42 is called Drag racing 👍
you have such a great calm voice! keep up the great work! big love to all people :)
The baseball pitcher having the ball come back that fast and go where it did with him leaning was impressive or shall I say the most impressive. The wrestling one with the kid getting flipped then winding up on his opponents back & the other guy dodging the head kick was also a good one! Maybe watching a most insane compilation of extreme sports like the x games, motocross, cycling/mountain biking etc could be interesting and also a good watch!
The car "flying" (lol), is just your good ol' fashioned Drag Race. In fact, it's not too uncommon to see a Drag racer "fly".. Some of those cars get going to so fast, and they're so aerodynamic, they can't help but lift-off. However, my favorite video of these.. The Deer playing Soccer & makes a goal and then is so happy with himself.. I wonder if he's watched the kids playing.. Either way, it's a 110% give-away of Animal Intelligence. Next time someone says to me that Animals are dumb, I'm going to show them Mr. Deer here, and explain to them why they are in fact, the idiot.
4:50 This sport is called "drag racing", two cars race each other down a straight track that is typically 1/4 mile long but can also be 1/8 mile long or rarely 1/2 mile long.
"What is that sport?" "Drag racing."
Didn’t know that included a parachute lol
@@NoProtocol The top fuel cars cover 1/4 mile in a little over 3 seconds. They are going about 335 MPH. They need them to stop. :)
You should react to top 20 nba dunks in the NBA dunk contest got some crazy ones.
Oh and I love how you keep surprising me with your MMA fandom. Knowing it's rafael fiziev in the clip is impressive lol
The baseball one got me.
As someone that plays golf, check out Maurice Allen clearing Niagra Falls with a driver. Definitely a rollercoaster if you're into long drive.
Also, if you're into pool, check out a highlight reel of Efren Reyes.
There were multiple baseball ones. for me it was the one where the ball went into the hole in the ceiling. I hope it's still there
This video is a reminder of my entire time on a skateboard. I've gotten lucky and landed many one in a million things, and I've had a lot of almost death but end up completely okay bails.
Cool runnings goes through my mind everytime I see a bobsled. “People say they know they can’t believe, Jamaica we have a bobsled team”.
Cycling and golf are dope
The one with the car Doing a wheelie into a flip (called a blow over) is drag racing. I seen Don Garlits blow over at the US nationals in Indy and cross the finish line upside down and backwards at like 150 MPH
The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi. Saw it once in the sports section. I suppose it would sort of apply to contemporary kendo . Since it's mostly about sword techniques . But it's also philosophical ? Gonna have to read it again.
Just love her smile.
Dude that was a fire intro lol
"Hey" ☺️
Have you ever seen that famous goals that Pele did ? The goal keeper throws out the ball to continue the game , and Pele does a backflip and kicks the ball in the air so hard it shoots past the goalie and scoring.
One sport not represented here is tractor pulling, Smarter Every Day has one of the most informative videos I've seen on the sport, even though he is clearly learning as he goes. It might be a bit long for a reaction video though. Literary recommendation, Lone Wolf by Doug Wolfgang and Dave Argabright (Sprint Car driver autobiography)
You have such a wide range of interests. I love to see the intrigue in you eyes
Been waiting for you to get back into more MMA stuff. You seem to be more than a casual fan, i would even bet you train BJJ or something. Would love to have your take on Valentina Shevchenko, and other thoughts about the sport.
I could bore you with baseball all day long but I won't. Love your videos! Do you do music reactions? A good starter suggestion if you're interested. The band Living Colour;the song; Cult of Personality
Very visually satisfying!
I tried doing Superman on a bicycle when I was 10-ish… it did not go well 😂
A good sports book is Open by Andre Agassi. I'm neither a tennis, nor an Agassi fan and I thought it was amazing. One of the best books I've ever read in any genre.
What's so good about it?
you're amazing and that smile is 1 in a million also
Hello from The Netherlands. Thank you.
No Protocol : What part of the states are you from? I love your content and the quick intros are refreshing. Not to be "that guy", but you have a very pretty smile as well which doesn't hurt..
"What is that sport?" (I'm biting my tongue from 'shaming' you because I love this channel, and adore you as an intellectual
1:48 hockey breakaway, throwing the stick. that was during a All-Star game/ skills competition, you couldn’t do that during a actual game
5:56 hockey goal off the referee. That goal didn’t count. There is actually a rule that it cannot deflect in off the referee.
Either way, it left the referee seriously pucked up.
That motorbike continuing to power along without the rider was bizarre. That sort of speedway-type motocycle in the UK has a cord around the rider's wrist which comes away when he is off the bike and stalls it so it can't move and injure other riders or indeed the public.
Most of these were extraordinary, atypical or unusual moments, but one in a million might be a bit of a stretch. That said, the bike running off on its own was cool, a bit scary as well. The Shohei Othani home run hitting the top of the stadium isn't the first; Darryl Strawberry hit one off the top of the roof of Olympic Stadium in Montreal back in the 80s. There are some interesting baseball compilations that have some interesting moments (to me) in them, such as "Top Plays," "Greatest Throws," "Fastest Reflexes" and such.
You & your followers are brilliant
I agree on the moment being the pitcher dodging the ball.
I've seen the movie and liked it a lot.
Then again, I'm a baseball fan..............
Hey NP am i right to assume since you like mma you have taken some sort of mma training? If so can you give me advice about what to focus on before entering kick boxing? My cardio is trash so I try to run, is there other stuff i should focus on?
I would LOVE some more mma videos
Was waiting for Randy Johnson's pitch hitting a bird that flew by. That to me was the most random moment I've ever seen in sports.
That was different. Impressive.
I will say the Alexander Ovechkin hockey goal from his back, I don't think you can even recreate it using optimal conditions without opposing players. No control over his body's momentum, very little control over his stick, and still it goes in. Never seen anything like it before or since.
The baseball just missing his chin, and the three guys getting "megged" are really the only one in a million moments.
The one with snooker was more like 9 out of 10.
Being pedantic it was more like 49 out of 50. That's 1of the most basic shots for a pro. Only easier shots are one's where balls are literally just hanging over the pocket.
Cool Runnings 😊Same !
I agree, only one vid seemed a 1 in a mil moment. Mine was the buck celebrating after the goal. Though two other vids peaked my interest: One was the Neo moment; being a Justin fan, I'm worried about this weekend (but haven't lost faith - at least in a fight of the night). 2nd was the "that's why people who study wrestling in the mountains of (former USSR) should not be trifled with". Not sure about you, but this weekend's rematch in London has got me a tad excited. Not sure if you will answer, but what are your pics for wins?
The third clip is the swedish high jumper Stefan Holm. He was the best in the world 2001-2008.
@2:46 There are a couple of years separating the Brownlee brothers' ages. Almost the funniest part was when they were interviewed afterwards. Interviewer: "Of course you would've done the same for Alistair wouldn't you?" Johnny Brownlee "No, I would've left him."
I love the movie as I'm a big baseball fan but did not know that there was a book written, probably by the general manager of the Oakland team. Billy Beane who was also previously a player with I believe the Cleveland at the time Indians now Guardians
9:50 it's drag racing, the car was producing so much torque at the real wheels that it almost flipped over
Is the parachute a requirement or a choice?
@@NoProtocol It helps slow down the car after the run is over, just a safety feature.
If you type in ball girl baseball catches in to the search, you'll find an amazing one off catch by a young lady who climbs the wall to make it. It's about 38 seconds long, but it always makes me smile. I've seen a soccer shot in a top game similar to the clip where the ball hit the divot and diverted it past the keepers dive. Same result. And in a grass hockey game as a youngster I shot for goal, watched the ball pass the keeper and turned to run in celebration of my score. My joy cut short when I was told I'd missed. Also diverted onto the goal post and out, by a divot. Such is life. Fun though. I liked the guys on bikes, surfing to a stop and the one sliding into standing to walk off. Fun to watch though. Keep on with the joyful and interesting stuff. Have fun.
You can tell when somebody has a mind and soul when they name their channel No Protocol. Nice shallow depth. Muy bien, muchacha, muy bien 🙂.
At the 5:46 I had a friend who lost his right leg when he tried to step up when he was downed on his bike. He said he was so disorientated up seemed down down up then the world stopped and he thought he was stopped.
That faziev gaejhe fight was amazing as expected
I’m glad how it ended up too
4:54 Drag racing
The guys jumping highhurdles is an old swedish high jumper doing training (Stefan Holm)
Thank you for that! Had no idea of what sport that was
lol the 2 that get me is the deer scoring a goal knowing what it ment to some degree and the dance after doing it is the most imprssive thing on here but she liked the 360 dunk just afterwards .....
what ya gunna do ......
The hockey puck carry and stick throw was legal FYI. (Also last video - 4 pairs of legs get nutmegged)
5:15 the editing on this KILLED me 😂😂😂
Is that real?!
Attack Of The Killer Bike
You had me at cool runnings
Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time!
Greatest smile! 😁
Yours vídeos is Very nice and you is bealtful,🇧🇷🇧🇷♥️
Definitely the baseball going into the hole of the ceiling. It just needs to stay there, that's it's home now
Drag racing, funny car series
If you want a good, quick one, check out Jon Rahm’s golf ball that he skips across a lake for a hole in one! That’s 1-1,000,000!
Great reaction, maybe react to some Tiger Woods best moments, I noticed you say you golf, his moments are more than incredible.
I’m not surprised at all that video didn’t show the greatest moments in sports: 1) in 1970 tom dempsey kicked a 63 yard field goal w no time remaining. His Saints were trailing so they had to try it. The previous record was 57 yards. Tom was missing his toes on his right (kicking) foot. He kicked it and 1 player said “it sounded like a bomb went off” so he makes it and half the fans are on the field and it’s insane! 2) the Miracle on Ice 3) secretariat wins belmont by 31 lengths and breaks the record “he’s moving like a Tremendous machine!” The announcer (1973). (I highly recommend all 3 highlights, with no 1 the most incredible moment in sports)
4:50 that sport is drag racing. you drive in a straight line for 1320 feet as fast as possible. the fastest cars can do it in less than 4 seconds at over 330mph. those particular cars in the video can run it in roughly 6 seconds at over 200mph. and that one clip wasn't jiu jitsu, it was wrestling.
Cool runnings is hilarious.
I would love to see No Protocol in that Thumbnail position
the only way the snooker shot was '1 in a million' would be if it were me playing the shot🥴
The beauty of hockey is a great video. Hockey is not as popular as basketball or baseball but is in my opinion the best sport to watch live.
6:07
Did I just heard "Ay pobre"?
I've watched the film, but not read the book. Alas I do not read books as much as I used to. Movies are like a more compressed version of a story. Although something is always lost or altered in compression. In any case, I enjoyed the movie quite a bit. Jonah Hill gives a great performance and Philip Seymour Hoffman is in it as well. Well directed, well acted movie with a great story.
Same, I don't read as much anymore. But Michael Lewis is a good writer. Even when I can tell he has a bias (and I disagree), I still can't put down whatever he's written.
I've seen the movies The Blind Side and The Big Short as well as Moneyball, but oddly haven't read anything by Michael Lewis. I'll have to find a book of his to read
Not a sports guy but I did see and enjoy Money Ball.
As a non-baseball fan, I think it was still presented in a way that makes an interesting storyline
The guy on the soccer (football) pitch that came to play croquet instead 😂
The one where the ball flies inches from the pitchers head happens thousands of times in Cricket.
If you need a good sports book reference, check out The Inner Game of Tennis! Classic.
Please do a review of the book The Deficit Myth
May I ask exactly how I could get you to react to a request of mine? Many thanks and great choice of video. 🙏🇬🇧✌
Will you do UFC live stream at some point in the future?
No, that’s not for me. I really enjoy watching. There are some solid channels who commentate the fights though, I used to frequent one called WADE Concept. I don’t know if he still covers UFC but it’s worth checking out if you’re looking for one
