Funniest thing you ever saw in sports
 

The 7 yard punt .... Browns vs. Baltimore this Sunday. I think that pretty much shows how low Cleveland sports teams have truly sunk.

In baseball has to be when the fly ball hit Conseco on the head and bounced over the fence for a home run.

Ron Luciano told a story about a game he umpired against Earl Weaver's Orioles that I happened to be watching on TV one Saturday afternoon. During the game, an Oriole runner beat out the throw to first base and Luciano signalled him "safe." However, since he was standing sort of behind the Orioles' first base coach, he yelled "Out" just to see what would happen. The net result was that everybody in the ballpark saw the "safe" signal, but only the Orioles' first base coach heard the word "out," and nobody in the park could understand why he was arguing so violently with the umpire when his guy was called safe.

Earl Weaver came running out of the Oriole's dugout to back up his coach, but even he couldn't figure out what he was supposed to do since he'd clearly seen the runner called "safe."

It was pretty funny.

I saw a lot of crazy things watching minor league hockey here in Michigan. Back in the early days of the (now defunct) IHL, teams like Flint, Saginaw and Kalamazoo played to some pretty fierce rivalries.

One game I remember seeing the ref was calling such a bad game, the Flint coach finally decided to skate the entire bench over to the penalty box under protest. He left 4 skaters and the goalie on the ice for most of the third period. It was pretty funny seeing a dozen players sitting in a box built for about 3-4.

Another game saw Kalamazoo coach Ted Garvin so pissed at the ref he started throwing chairs, water bottles and even part of the bech out on the ice, almost hitting a linesman. He was ejected. /obvious.

I especially remember seeing many, many "bench-clearing" brawls, just like depicted in "Slapshot". It was pretty funny seeing the ref on the ice with notepad writing down penalties. Sometimes the announcement afterward took longer than the actual fight. "For Flint, number two, two minutes for slashing, two minutes for tripping, five minutes for fighting, a ten-minute misconduct and a game misconduct. Number four, two minutes for slashing..."

Ahh, the good ole days. :thumbsup:

Team Funny:
The New York Yankees failing to put my beloved Red Sox away after being up three games to none. I'm still laughing about that one.

Player Funny:
Steve Lyons, at the time playing for the ChiSox, dusting himself off after a head first slide when he forgets where he is and drops his pants.

Mike Tyson.

cant remember anything specific but knock outs are always funny and so are bird killings in baseball!
what are the chances??? i saw this one clip where the batter hits the ball and all of a sudden u see feathers everywhere... the bird flew right into the path of the ball! poor bird

I've got some random vids of soccer funnies, the best one has to be the goalkeeper kicking the ball 90 odd yards and score (!).

You might be thinking of the clip a few years back where Randy Johnson pitched the ball and it smacked right into a bird. Damn hilarious.

Does happy/funny count? I'm thinking of the Patriots/Raiders Snowbowl game, when everyone in the stands started throwing fresh powdery snow into the air, making it look like reverse fireworks were going off.

I don't know if this is funny or sad, but last season (or 2 seasons ago) the Saints kicker missed an extra point that would have put them in the wild card. With a few seconds on the clock and the Saints being down by a TD, they made a exceptional kick return filled with laterals for a TD; that is something you never see happen. In order to tie it though and take it into ot, they had to make the extra point, but the damn kicker somehow missed it. That has just got to be the biggest blow ever, I still found it funny though, in a sad way.

You mean the "biggest bullshit call in the history of the NFL" game?

Hey, the "miraculous nonfumble" call was perfectly in line with the rules. If you don't like the rules, change 'em. Notice that they didn't change that rule. (I'll admit, I thought it was all over at that point as well. But I hadn't read the rulebook that closely.)

/end threadjack

I also thought a really funny sports moment is when Degeneration X came out and made fun of the nation of domination.

Psycho Sid was also very funny. That one time when he jumped off the top rope and his leg turned to rubber was so silly. Such a silly man.

I was once watching a early April Cubs game and the Chicago weather was quite cold. Harry Caray went on and on for what seemed like a few innings about how he was drinking the best coffee ever. You would have thought it was made by Budweiser. After a lot of gushing about this coffee, Steve Stone finally said, "Harry, that is tea." Harry made a quick joke and then proceeded to continue announcing like it was nothing. I was rolling on the damn floor laughing my ass off. God, I miss Harry.

Watching David Ortiz throw Jeff Suppan out at third in this past WS was a good one to me

A few years ago (or more) a football player was in the process of making a long run to the end zone. As he neared the 5 yard line, he started to showboat and taunt. Another player came up from behind, hit him, and he turned the ball over. It was actually kind of like DH in Playmakers when he taunts the player and has the ball knocked away, but the situation I'm referring to happened years ago.. Don't know the details, but I remember the situation.

After reading this thread, I'll agree about the Saints missed XP after the crazy trick play. That was bonkos.

That just hurts bro... Some of us are trying to forget about that kick.

Ahhhh, I forgot about this one. The showboat was Leon Lett of the Dallas Cowgirls and Don Beebe of the Buffalo Bills (another good laugh from the early 90's) was the player that tracked him down and swatted the ball out of his coke-powdered hands before good ol Leon could finish he victory dance into the end-zone. No scoring on the play but the Girls managed to hold on to the game, 52-17.

My fondest memory of Harry was when the Expos and later the Dodgers came to town and Mike Grudzielanek would be playing second base. Harry could never pronounce his name so he reverted to calling him G-man.

Shaq shooting free throws. No one in the NBA ever should air ball those.

I've seen this one in the bloopers many times, but at a minor league baseball game, a guy hits a home run that just happens to break the passenger side window of a car driving by.

Also, anybody that got juked by Barry Sanders. It was so graceful and unbelievable it just made you smile.

you never knew what was going to come out of his mouth. without a doubt some of the best sound bytes came from him. especially when he was trashed. here are a couple that immediatley come to my mind.

the camera had a shot of two people kissing and Harry says
"i bet he kisses her on the strikes and she kisses him on the balls"
Harry had no idea what he had just said until stone started cracking up

and another

a latin player loses the ball in the sun and harry said something to the extent of
how do these mexican guys lose the ball in the sun? it's sunny there every day!

don't forget about giants punter sean landetta (i think it was him) completey missing the punt in the playoff game against the bears

That clip with Johnson hitting the bird is just damn ridiculous. Hilarious.

bahahahahahaha! thats it, just 7 yards. damn and i thought the cards sucked.

Browns have never been a great team though... imo

Funniest thing I recall was seeing a long fly ball bounce off Jose Consecos head over the fence for a homerun. He was playing right field, standing there with his glove outstretched at the wall and boink, right off his head for a homer. He didn't have a clue what happened. Then the center fielder comes running over pointing at him and laughing. It was an all time unforgettable moment. I still laugh when I think about it.

2nd funniest was the 7 yard punt by the Browns against the Ravens, or maybe it wasn't that funny. It just made me happy.

They had some GREAT teams in the 80's just had bad luck.... the drive and the fumble....

in the NBA a couple years ago, a player was in his contract year....he was one rebound shy of a triple-double, so he shot a basket at the wrong goal to grab an extra rebound. i guess its more sad, but still kinda funny

For boxing, one moment would have to be Zab Judah doing the wildest chicken dance after being knocked out by Kostya Tszyu. He then had the temerity to harass Jay Nady as if absolutely nothing happened.

Steve Lyons pulling his pants down at first base.

The punter (Last name of Ruebens I think) for Seattle in the late 80's or early 90's once punted the ball backwards 15 yards. So sad that it is hilarious.

Watch hockey long enough, especially below the NHL level, and you will see some of funniest stuff possible. Coaches going balistic at the referees are always the best.

That is just wrong..... cruelty to animals it is. Show the class those Squeeler fans have.

:lol:

I may love the Browns but I wouldn't let my dog touch anything that said Browns.

Haha! Very cute.

At first I was expecting the stuffed dog to explode or something, but that was definitely a funny video. The real dog got quite into it.. I kind of felt bad for the little guy.

This is probably already been posted a 100 times, but i think its still funny.
Its the unit, Randy Johnson, exploding a bird that flies by. here is the link.

you guys might just have to copy and paste.

ok now that got a chuckle out of me

Someone else went in depth about mine, when Jose Canseco let the ball hit him on the head and it ended up going over the outfield wall...

Darius Miles or Ricky Davis last year I believe.

That was Leon Lett in the Super Bowl (Cowboys vs. Bills), and that's not his most ridiculous play. The next year, the Cowboys were playing Miami on Thanksgiving Day, and it was snowing in Dallas. With about 15 seconds left in the game, Miami was down by 1 or 2 with a chance to kick a field goal to win the game. The kick was blocked, and it rolled to about the 5. Everyone on Dallas stopped and circled around it, waiting for the official to blow the play dead so that they would recover it...except for Leon Lett. He decided to go jump on the ball, and he slipped and kicked it. Miami wound up recovering, and their second field goal went in.

But the funniest play ever is Jose Canseco hitting a homer with his head. Even he couldn't stop laughing about it. Canseco was great, he didn't take himself as seriously as most athletes.

that was Ricky Davis

What comes to my mind is:
0) Shaq making a three pointer - a bank if memory serves - some years back.
1) Shaq dunking in the all-star game after being grabbed by four near players. He still went up and barely cleared the rim carrying all four of them up with him. Clyde Drexler was called for the foul.
2) Charles Barkley making a monster block on David Robinson right under the basket
ooh just thought of the playoffs last year when Kevin Garnett:
0) blocked/caught a shot and cradled it in the same move
1) blew by Chris Webber for an easy slam.

Wow I think that Browns/Steelers video posted above is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Garo Yupremian's (Redskins) attempted throw in the Super Bowl against the Dolphins was pretty funny. He tried to throw the ball, it slipped through his little hands, he tried to catch it, it bounced off him and went straight up in the air into the arms of a Dolphin who just bolted to the endzone.

The Leon Lett/Don Beebe play was good. What a hustle.

Anytime a kicker of either sort ventures downfield to try to make a tackle and ends up getting flattened by a block is a good laugh in my book.

Steelers and somebody else in the playoffs a few years ago, and the ref told the Steelers captain to call the coin flip for the overtime toss. He called tails, it was tails, but the ref misheard and gave the call to the other team. They won on their first possession. That was funny.

In baseball, a pitcher this year accidentally threw the baseball backwards halfway through his windup.

Also, in the 2003 baseball season, (the super-buff) Kyle Farnsworth of the Cubs hit pitcher (and frumpy looking guy) Paul Wilson of the Reds, who yelled at Farnsworth. They both ran at each other. Lets just say that afterwards the Cubs announcers solicited responses from Bears players on Farnsworth's impressive tackling technique.

A pitcher named Julian Tavarez pitched for the Cubs 5 or 6 years ago. He was really eccentric. One day he thought that his throws to first didn't feel too good. So every time a ball was hit back to him, he rolled it like a bowling ball to first base. It didn't make the other team too happy. Another time, in Spring Training of all times, he hit someone who charged the mound, and Tavarez tried (and failed spectacularly) to dropkick him! Also, I worked for the Cubs at the time as an usher. I was working a gate when Tavarez walked up in street clothes about 30 minutes before a game he was not scheduled to pitch. He gave me the "shush" sign and slunk in the park to go get dressed in the locker room. I imagine he really got chewed out that day.

Lastly, if you guys have never heard famous Orioles manager Earl Weaver's radio tirade, well, you are missing out on some of the best comedy ever.

http://users.rcn.com/pkatcher/audio/...averTirade.mp3

I worked for the N.Y. Mets' single-A farm team in Columbia, S.C., about 10 years back when the manager was former big-leaguer Ron Washington. Well, one night the first-base ump made a few calls ol' Ron didn't think too much of. After the last of them, he came out and had a world-class argument with the ump. After getting thrown out, he proceeded to walk over to first and pull it out of the ground. He then took it into the clubhouse and locked the door. After about a 15-minute delay, Ron finally opened the door and gave the base to one of the team officials ... spray painted day-glo orange.

that radio clip is fucker cocksucker shit motherfucking hilarious. but is it real? because at some points it sounded like he was stifling laughter, and the radioman's responses seemed staged. and of course the last question....but even if it was staged, which hell it was probably openly known to be staged and im an idiot, it was still funny as hell

Bears vs Jacksonville in January 2002. Keith Traylor (a defensive tackle) intercepted a pass and ran about 75 yards down field before someone finally tackled him. I was at that game and there wasn't as much cheering as there was laughing. And seeing the deer in headlights look on his face on the big screen during the replay was even funnier.

The Lakers getting it handed to them by the Pistons in NBA finals. All the "experts" thought the Lakers would coast. It was quite hilarious.

The brawl at the Palace and how people are trying to make it seem like it's the worst thing in the history of mankind! Such overexaggeration.

Two things this year in the NFL that are QB related:

Jake Plummer, Denver Broncos. I forget who he is facing, but they send a heavy rush and as he tries to scramble he tosses the ball left handed right into the defender who returns it for a score. The problem is, he's normally right handed.

Aaron Brooks, New Orleans Saints. Aaron Brooks is trying to escabe defenders, so he throws the ball -backwards- to an offensive lineman.

Nope. Not real. A radio stunt.

Wanted to add Auburn being left out of the BCS championship after a perfect season! :lol:

Well, I just have to add a video of the Baylor punter. I know, It's sad when your punter is the best player on the team, but at least playing for Baylor he gets alot of practice. This guy started as a linebacker, but was injured, and just started punting one day after practice in his red-shirt year, and he was pretty good at kicking it. You can tell that he used to be a linebacker, though, because he runs down the field and sometimes things like this happen.

Imagine the grief this guy got for being clobbered by the punter.

let me know if these work.

I have some baseball funnies that I remember.... :)

I was at a Reds game back in the late 80's (if my memory is correct). Terry Francona, who was playing for the Reds at the time, feel down pretty much on his face as he was going on a wide turn around third base. He was about 25 feet from the plate and he crawled on all fours into the plate.... now that was funny.

Another game between the Reds and the Astros had the "Nasty Boy" Rob Dibble get his ass kicked after charging the mound. Pete Harnish just leveled him flat. That's funny but in an unsportsman like sort of way. Here's DRibble running out to the mound to take this guy on and he gets clocked.

Tom Browning sitting on the roof top across the street from the game at Wrigley Field was pretty damn funny...:D

There was another event at a Reds game that involved a fan and a cop. The outfield seats at Riverfront stadium were completely empty. In the upper deck out in right field a guy comes running through the tunnel and heads toward center field. He had a cop chasing him at full tilt. As he's running the upper deck he keeps looking over his shoulder and sure enough the cop is closing in on him quickly. He keeps running and the cop keeps chasing and closing. He get's to Left Center field and takes one last look over his shoulder and at full tilt speed he runs smack into the edge of the stairwell. Poor bastard...:D He's laid flat out (and we now can't see him) and the cop comes over to him and leans over...the reaches for the squak box on his shoulder to call for a stretcher. I wonder what ever happened to that fool....:) This my friends is another example where I can't tell you how many times I've never run from police and had to be taken away on a stretcher.

Holy shit that was a vicious hit.

That vid was great!! Man I'm still having trouble believing that that is their punter who made that tackle!

I thought it was funny to see the yankees lose 4 strait to the red sox this year in the playoffs, couldn't stop laughing about that. Especially when ARod hit the ball out of the first baseman's mit and tried to play it off like he didnt do anything, and it almost started a riot.

Also once when i was young i was a at Atlanta Hawks game and they were playing Houston on Charles Barkley's birthday...so the Hawk's mascot gives charles a present, and of course its a wig. Charles just started beating the hell out of the mascot (It could have been staged, i was fairly young, I still found it funny though :D ).

probaly the world cup in korea
i think it was Korea vs Germany in the semi final...

i got no idea about the names, but one moment will always be remembered.

The ball was at around 20-25 yards from the goal and it was bouncing when the german midfielder decided to have a huge volley shot at the goal. It was a screamer, just came off his boot sweetly and rocketed towards the goal. Only it to be blocked by some korean guys balls..... Ohh the whole stadium just did one huge cry of pain when they saw that replay. The match was deleyed for 10minutes while he counted how many were left.


Also in the rugby world cup in australia, (i was at the game so i thought it was funny)
when it was South Africa vs Samoa. South africa was having a field day, doing what ever they want. Around 30mins into the game SA had a penalty on half way, so they decided to do a wide pass to the wing, but it was a shocker and the winger had to jump up with arms in the air to catch it. Meanwhile the Samoan they call the Chiropractor absolutly belted him, one of the best hits i have ever seen. The hilarious bit was looking at the replay, and the look of the SA winger as he saw the man come to tackle him... he knew he was in deep sh*t. The SA guy was down for around 10minutes after that hit

ohh yea, that fijian forward who was too fat to wear his jersy was a champion as well

Ooooh recent one that left me laughing.

The Green Bay game this week when Leftwich (Jacksonville QB) was about to throw, Gbaja-Biamila (Green Bay) pummeled Leftwich and knocked it out of his hands. It appeared to be an incompletion so two Green Bay linebackers walked away while Jacksonville guard Manuwai picked it up nonchalantly. Seconds later, Green Bay safety Darren Sharper ran in, stole it from Manuwai and ran it 15 yards for a touchdown.

How about that missed extra point that cost the lions the game this weekend?

pretty damn funny

The browns only having 17 yards of total offense was pretty funny two weeks ago

What about that minor leaguer running through that wall trying to track down a fly ball. Now that guy is really hard headed!

Whenever any NFL team is in desperation mode at the end of a game and start to lateral that ball to everyone on their team cracks me up everytime. A good example would be one of the Colts game's this year, cant remember what week but it was the last play and they just were trying so hard to do somthing even while there were penalty flags coming in from everywhere.

england 1-0 up against france in euro 2004...enter zidane.
cometh the hour cometh the man, etc.
also beckham skelping that penalty over the bar! whoohoo, sorry don't mean to england-bash but that pen miss was soooo fucking funny!
