It's one thing to humiliate yourself. It's quite another to do it in front of 50,000 people.
9. Patrik Stefan Missing an Open Net
Not only does he miss an open net to win the game, everyone is so surprised by his miss that the other team easily scores with 4 seconds left in regulation. On the embarrassing scale, that ranks right up there with "Not being able to get it up for a prostitute who's actually an undercover NBC reporter taping a special."
8. Jim Marshall Runs Wrong Way
This is so painful, every time I watch it I react like Brad Pitt in Seven, right after he's realized his wife's head is in the box. "NO! AW NO! COME ON!"
7.Hockey One Punch Knockout
It's one thing to get knocked out. It's another to get knocked out by one punch, fall unconsciously to the ground with your ass in the air, and have 9000 people simultaneously make the same face Paris Hilton makes when she sees poor people.
6. Goalie BLOWS it
Here's why this makes the list. If you came from outer space and had never seen or heard of the human race, and you saw this video, you'd still be like "Dude. Females will cease to procreate with that life form after whatever it is that just occurred."
5. Home Run Bounces Off Jose Canseco's Head
I've studied the bible, the Koran, The Torah, but this clip right here is what convinced me that there is a God.
4. Robin Ventura Charges the Mound on 43-year-old Nolan Ryan
What in the hell was Robin Ventura thinking? If you charge the mound and beat the crap out of him, you've successfully beaten up a man twice your age, who's a baseball legend. If you lose, well, you get this...
3. Chris Webber Calls Time Out In NCAA Finals
Time outs are hard to keep track of. Especially when you don't have the Pakistani kid who the coaches hired to do your homework, keeping track of them for you.
2. Vince Carter Dunks on a French Guy
This is why America is better than France.
1. Bill Buckner, Enough Said
If you have to move your place of residence because of something that happened to you in a sporting event, you probably make the list.
What about Lindsay Jacobellis getting all cocky at the very end of the the Women's Snowboardcross finals at the 2006 Turino Olympics? Fifty yards ahead of her nearest competitor, she goes over the final jump and does a grab trick only to miff the landing and lose the gold medal. Cockyness got the best of her, and she got what she deserved. I bet she cried herself to sleep that night.
I am surprised that the monday night football game from 2 weeks ago, where the patriots came back to embarrass the ravens in their own stadium wasn't on this list! Calling a time-out right before your team stuffs the undefeated patriots on 4th and short?? then going on to lose in the final minutes... that is demoralizing!
So as usual it's not "Cringeworthy moments in sports" it's "Cringeworthy moments in the little games yanks play that no one else gives a crap about because they're as exciting as reading a dictionary cover to cover, plus one football clip (and not even one of the better ones)".
Someone teach the yanks some more interesting games, please.
Yeah, what the heck is going on in #1? I realize you have to get your little quips in but how about at least a few words of explanation as to what's happening?
Got to love all the poor widdle hurt feelings from the Euros in the talkback - not enough videos of Cricket, Badminton and Tennis! Boo Hoo!
So we've got:
2 clips of Hockey which is played extensively in Canada and Europe
2 clip of Basketball that includes a European team, and is played extensively in eastern Europe and China
2 clips of Baseball, played throughout Central America and Japan
1 clip of of European "Football"
and no clips of American Football, the whining that you Euros do about THAT sport has turned into your continent's #1 past time. Poor babies. Anytime a sport has more than 3 Americans in it you guys start calling it boring. Well, bore me later, Nigel.
Non-American sports are about as entertaining as masturbating. Perhaps fun at first, but once you've found the real thing (i.e., American Football, American Baseball, American...just about anything) you forget the other even exists. And for good reason.
Why do the Europeans whine like little girls? No wonder they attack American Athletics... they see us do every day things they could never accomplish. The most advanced their culture ever got with athletics was kicking around animal stomach inflated with air. They're just bitter they wasted all their time drinking tea, jagging off over the Queen and FAILING to brush their banged up teeth.

I can't believe you left out the famous Gus Frerotte head but! November 1997, when he was playing for the Washington Redskins (American Football) he ran for a touchdown and was so excited that he head butted the wall and sprained his neck..... Can't find a video, but read the article here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/redskins/longterm/1997/gamer...
Scott Norwood? Anybody? The guy only blew the biggest kick of his LIFE and single handedly kick-started the Buffalo Bills unprecedented run of four straight losing Super Bowls. Robot Chicken still makes fun of it, and the whole premise of the first Ace Ventura movie was virtually based on it.
love how u mock europe... buts its not just europe... the whole world hates you america.. and we love to see how arrogant and stupid you are. ive read here about cricket... ok cricket its only played in england and india.. WTF has to do with the other 40 european countrys hein?? fuck educate yourselfs. BUSH, before getting ellected never went outside america... hahah thats so fuckin noob... having a president who doesnt even know what the world is. i pitty you.. and you so called "freedom". you dont realize u dont have more freedom than other... its the oposite
"the whole world hates you america.. and we love to see how arrogant and stupid you are."
Your arguments have convinced me. Americans shouldn't post sports clips to their blogs without first considering whether they've included enough foreign sports. Because if you don't include sports that you're not familiar with, then you're obviously an arrogant jerk. And if this blog is about anything, it's all about boobs, laughs, and improving foreign relations.
Here's a thought, AHHA. Maybe if you want to read about curling and speedwalking, you could write your own fucking blog. And maybe if you're going to criticize other people for being arrogant, there's a better way to do it than crowing about your own culture's superiority. Also you should probably stop wearing those skin-tight t-shirts and shave off that fruity little mustache, you silly wanker.
If whiny bigots like you hate America, then Americans should wear that as a badge of honor.
what about Aaron Brooks throwing a football backwards in order to avoid a sack? My friends and I re-enact that one every time we have a football in our hands.
Ahhhh! I forgot about the Saints and the missed extra point. I remember the wife and I, not Saints fans at all, let out a shriek when that happened.
There was also just last year when Chris Phillips of the Sens put the puck past his own goalie in last years Stanley Cup finals. I was laughing my ass off then felt sick for the guy when they zoomed in on his face when he was skating all by himself.
Another thought, isn't it a bit arrogant to chastise someone for not including more of the sports you love? If this was a European blog that included mostly soccer and cricket, Americans would probably not even bat an eye over it. Works both ways.
some of these should be in your top 10
from football
... the Jackie Smith dropped pass in the end zone in the best Super Bowl of all time... Pitt vs Dallas (jan 79)... it would have been the first Super Bowl to go in OT
.... NY Giants vs Philly... Giants are winning with less than a minute to go ... all they have to do is take a knee... instead they hand off, blow the exchange and Herman Edwards from the Eagles runs it back the other way
from baseball
.... the Cub fan that reached over a few years ago in the playoffs and Moises Alou couldn't make the out. The Cubs self destruct from that moment on
.... the Yankees blowing a 3-0 lead to the Red Sox in the alcs... the biggest choke of all time... unfortuantely you can't put that in a nice sound bite....
No Leon Lett? Also surprised to see no Bill Gramattica. Kicker for the Arizona Cardinals, kicks a short feild goal and starts jumping up and down celebrating only to come down wrong and tear his ACL. He never played another NFL down.

The part that always slays me about that Buckner clip is how much of a fairy Knight looks like when he jumps onto home plate to score the winning run.
