What is your favorite sports Blooper?

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I got to thinking of this when I was watching the MLB Bloopers DVD I just bought. Some of this stuff is so hilarious...

So I thought I'd ask y'all, what is your favorite blooper you have ever seen (in any sport)?

Me, I think it's this one Marlins game back in '93 at Dolphin Stadium, where there was a rain delay and the grounds crew had a hell of a time trying to get the tarp on the field. The crew decided to start from way the hell out in right field, and they got STUCK halfway down! So they had to keep backing up and running - literally, running - so they could try and get the tarp all the way across. They kept getting hung up, but eventually they made it...and of course by then, the rain had completely STOPPED.

Any others you'd like to share? Again, any sport will do. I'm just personally familiar with the baseball ones 'cuz that's the only sport I watch regularly.

Bill Buckner. Simply because it genuinely seems to have caused permanent emotional damage to a lot of people.

This is one of my favourites. What should have been the game-winning goal for Dallas turns into the game-tying goal for Edmonton.

That was my first thought, too.

Worst. Hockey fight. Ever.

The Habs gave them a run for their money this year. They slipped helplessly through the ranks and almost fell out of playoff contention, got swept by their rival in their Centennial season, bilked their fans by selling them bricks, and had players linked to the Montreal mafia. Good show!

Between that and your shit talking to CleverWombat in TNZ, I have to say I think you're just wonderful.

Yeah, tell me about it. Our centenial year and we finish with no owner, no gm, no coach and no freaking players. That definetely is my blooper.

Ouside of hockey (and I'm not sure it counts as a sports blooper) but whenever WWF wrestler Owen Hart fell from the ceiling and died... pretty funny.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Still waiting for an explanation, Daedalus...

 

[Roger Wilco]

I don't know any specifics, but since Liverpool didn't win any titles that year, I'm guessing they planned their victory party prematurely.
