Sorry we're a little late to the party today -- an always exciting dental appointment was the culprit. Our streak of zero cavities continues, despite our best attempts to end it.
In any event, while searching for a first post of the day, we came upon an all-timer. From the AP:
Real Madrid waited 18 years to win back the Copa del Rey trophy -- only to drop the cup and watch it get crushed under the wheels of a bus.
Only hours after beating archrival Barcelona in the domestic cup final in Valencia, Madrid defender Sergio Ramos let the 33-pound cup fall from the top of the team bus during celebrations early Thursday morning in the capital.
The front right wheel of the bus rolled over the trophy before the driver stopped.
The broken pieces were gathered and returned to the bus, but the trophy did not reappear at the club's traditional celebration spot at the Plaza de Cibeles in central Madrid.
"The cup fell, it fell," Ramos said, according to Europa Press agency. "But the cup is OK."
