What do you call it when two sides of seven Frenchmen try to throw a 60-centimeter-diameter ball into a two-by-three-meter goal for an hour? Answer: the four-team championship weekend of the Ligue National de Handball, AKA the Coupe de la Ligue Handball Championship, which for the first time ever is being played on U.S. soil.

If you haven't been caught handballing recently, teams score on average almost a goal a minute, so the action is très fast, and the French league is the best in the world. (France won the 2008 Olympic gold, after all.) Don't believe we know anything about handball? Go watch highlights of the Olympic matches on YouTube and judge for yourself. In the meantime, we'll just keep doing what we do, Googling search terms like "handball."
