Sergio Ramos dropped Copa del Rey trophy under moving bus

Sergio Ramos' Copa del Rey celebration started off graceful enough with a short routine he performed on the pitch using a matador's cape after Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Barcelona at the Mestalla. But once he did a bit more celebrating, things took a turn for the worse.
When Real arrived back in a rain-soaked Madrid and boarded an open-top bus that would take them to the center of the late-night celebrations at the Plaza de Cibeles, Sergio Ramos took hold of the Copa del Rey trophy and held it high above his head at the front of the bus as it moved slowly through the streets filled with 60,000 fans. Maybe it was the rain, maybe it was all the jubilant jostling on the bus or maybe it was just Sergio Ramos being Sergio Ramos, but at approximately 4:15 a.m., the trophy slipped out of his hands and fell under the bus. Seriously. This is something that happened. Less than 24 hours after winning the thing for the first time since 1993, and Sergio Ramos broke it.
So with the cup lodged under the bus' front bumper, the driver had to stop and get out as a group of cops came over to pry it out. The celebration continued on and everyone seemed far too happy to be upset about the accident. Somewhere, Pep Guardiola watched and chuckled, knowing that his telekinesis worked.

UPDATE: Sergio Ramos joked on his Twitter account that the whole thing was a misunderstanding and that the trophy didn't fall -- it jumped to meet all the Madrid fans at Cibeles.
Well, it didn't quite jump far enough and instead, it met the front wheel of the bus.
According to a Real Madrid spokeswoman, the trophy "is not in good shape" and now the jeweler who made the cup will have some work to do. From the AP:
"I thought it was a joke," [Federico] Alegre told the Spanish newspaper El Mundo. "But later I saw that it was true. Now I will have to try and repair the damaged cup."
No, it was no joke, Mr. Alegre. It was The Ramos.

Calico cat does the dog paddle

By Mike Krumboltz
Popular lore has it that few things can be angrier than a wet cat—but perhaps wet cats should be given at least as much credit for their resourcefulness and pluck as for their hissiness.
That would seem to be the moral of a shaggy-cat tale from last weekend, when a soaking wet feline showed up on the shores of Governors Island in New York. Many believe the feline swam all the way from New Jersey a mile away. In other words: Never underestimate a cat who wants to get out of Jersey.

Nobody is sure what happened exactly. However, we do know that security guards on Governors Island found the cat looking a bit worse for the wear last weekend near the island's shore.
According to the AP, the cat's "fur was salty, matted, and caked with seaweed." Some of the workers on the island think the cat was swept up in a New Jersey rainstorm, and somehow managed to swim to safety. The cat didn't have a collar.
The story was originally covered by the New York Daily News. Workers on the island have apparently taken quite a shine to the mysterious cat. Elizabeth Rapuano, the park's director of marketing and communications, remarked that staff members have taken to feeding the cat cans of tuna. And while the brave calico appears to be in fine shape, she will be taken to a vet just to be sure.
A message on the island's website reads that "any information that leads her back to her family is appreciated." In the meantime, the staff of Governors Island is taking suggestions for a name for the cat. May we suggest Meowchal Phelps?
