"Senna" is one of the best sports documentaries we've seen. It holds its own in a genre that's been increasingly crowded with quality films, especially since the launch of ESPN's 30 for 30 series. 

Ostensibly, "Senna" has very little to do with Cristiano Ronaldo, but that's about to change. The team behind "Senna" has produced a documentary about the Portuguese superstar that looks at the life of one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, and how he got to be one of the most recognizable athletes in the world. 

When Real Madrid played Espanyol two weekends ago, no one expected anything other than a commanding Madrid victory, and that’s exactly what happened. No one player was a bigger manifestation of that dominance than Cristiano Ronaldo. He scored 5 goals that day, ending the season’s first prematurely controversial goal drought at just 2 games. He would go on to score a hat trick three days later in the Champions League.

Anyone who witnessed the pantomime that was Chelsea vs. Arsenal will have seen Diego Costa doing his very best impression of Tony Montana, albeit without the machine guns and enormous pile of cocaine. Of NBC’s circa 10 minute highlight reel, roughly five were dedicated to Costa’s shenanigans, first against Laurent Koscielny and then Gabriel.

Robert Lewandowski has scored 5 straight second half goals in 9 minutes against Wolfsburg. The Bundesliga game was at 1-0, it ended 5-1.

Here are all five of his goals.

Unbelievable. Mind blowing. Amazing. Lewandowski now owns VfB Wolfsburg, or he might as well. 

Have you ever seen footage of a flood? People talk about how there are massive, 100 ft walls of water that barrel across beaches and towns but that’s not really how it works. Water doesn’t just form a vertical wall; it seeps and flows, steadily, more rapidly than you think until all of the sudden a street is turned into a river 15 ft deep. It’s dangerous because people inland away from the initial landfall don’t react quickly. They want to see how the situation unfolds, and their curiosity kills them.  

We have no actual proof that freestyle world champions Laura Biondo and Andrew Henderson are actually a couple. We only have a youtube video called “soccer relationship goals,” and the fact that watching the two go about their business is one of the most unique displays of chemistry that we have ever seen. 

The moment Boca Juniors forward Carlos Tevez made the challenge on Ezequeil Ham of the Argentinos Juniors on Saturday night, he likely knew something had gone terribly wrong.

"I went for the ball, I didn't have bad intentions," Tevez said in a televised interview after the game. "I'm sad because I didn't want to hurt the lad, I've never hurt anyone playing football, this is the first time."

So Viktoria Plzeň's David Limbersky is a class A idiot, and he absolutely does not give a single f***. We’re about to find out how that last part is going for him real soon. Limbersky is apparently attempting to see how much he can try the patience of the Prague Police Department, or at least that’s what it seems like.  

This…is unfortunate. I am absolutely sure that during the 5 minutes immediately after the following ordeal, defender Helen Eke probably wanted to crawl into the nearest small dark space and stay there until the laws of physics and the slow crawl of inevitability transported her to the other side of the planet.
