SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

No sporting events got you down? Check out marble racing! Here is two and half hours of last year's marblelympics. So much fun

The production value on that is hilarious. I can't believe I watched this one in full.

Don't pass up the Marbula One races (with qualifying rounds)!

I've been a fan of his stuff on and off for a while now.

Jelle's marble stuff has appeared on ESPN "The Ocho" days, as well.

The Texans have traded DeAndre Hopkins to Arizona, making Cardinals GM Steve Keim look like a wizard the same way the Bears and Patriots anointed the Niners' John Lynch.

When crazy deals fall your way, all you have to do is not say no.

Wasn't the movie Something to Talk About filmed in South Carolina?

Cue up the Bonnie Raitt and get those sports boys on the phone.

I can't explain why that is entertaining, but my hat is off to the people who made that video.
