From basketball players swatting bats to a misjudged ski jump, it must be time for Links of the Week.

Great tackle, bad awareness
The latest sportsman to enter the fail hall of fame, a gridiron player who manages to tackle his own team-mate.

Bat Man
Holy reflexes Bat Man. Spurs star Manu Ginobili comes to the rescue after someone thought it would be a good idea to let a bat free at an NBA game during Halloween.

Celebration of the week
Here's how to celebrate when no fans turn up to watch. Canterbury rugby players take note.

Crash of the year
It's hard to top Nascar driver Ryan Newman's crash at Talladega last weekend. If only his car knew how to turn right.

It's my ball
Good luck to this fan who caught a soccer ball during the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Nigeria. With all the people crowding around him I doubt he took it home with him.

Like father like son
Michael Jordan's son Marcus played in his college basketball team's opener this week a wearing Nike Air Jordan shoes, just like his dad. Which may prove costly for his school Central Florida who are sponsored by Adidas and now could be sued for millions.

Best man caves
My wife and I are currently in the process of purchasing a house and while she checks out the kitchen size and resale value at open homes I usually look for two things - a decent backyard for cricket and the potential of a man cave like one of these. I can only dream.

Mask gallery
It was only 40 years ago that ice hockey goalies thought it would be a good idea to wear some form of protection to stop them from getting hit in the face by pucks. SI.com looks at the best masks over that time.

15 funniest sport gifs
There's so much going on in this link I don't know where to start but a midget wrestler sliding on his face is probably about right.

Snow way
I began the links with a fail and I'll finish with one as well with this poor attempt at a ski jump.
