First, we watched a former player turned radio host eating a rat because he lost a bet.

Then, news came across that a small Brazilian club raffled off a sheep at halftime to try to boost attendance. Seriously. A living, breathing sheep.

And finally, the scoreboard at Crew Stadium caught fire before the match between Columbus and D.C. United started. And yes, there is video.

How can you not love this wonderful sport, both the magnificent and the wacky?
