this list we’re looking at some of the
biggest foul-ups in sports history these
mistakes can come from anyone including
the players officials or the fans and
must have been a huge detriment to the
overall game we’ll be ranking our list
based on the infamy of the mistake
itself the overall cost of the mistake
and the resulting repercussions number
10
DeSean Jackson let’s go of the football
times all it takes is one ego to ruin an
absolutely brilliant play in this game
against the Dallas Cowboys Eagles
quarterback Donovan McNabb threw a
stellar pass to DeSean Jackson who made
an incredible over-the-shoulder catch an
easy touchdown seemed certain until
Jackson’s celebrated too early and let
go of the ball before breaking the plain
of the endzone
not only was dropping the ball foolish
but it ruined what would have otherwise
been a sensational throw from his
quarterback hopefully after this
premature celebration
Jackson learned a lesson or two about
hubris
number nine Jean Van de Velde triple
bogey he’s going to be at least three
shots ahead it’s easy to collapse when
you’ve got so much riding on your
shoulders
Jean Van de Velde was supposed to be the
upset Victor of the 1999 Open
Championship and if he had won he would
have been the first French player to win
a major championship in nearly a hundred
years oh you lucky little rascal he had
a three shot lead going into the final
hole but it seems the pressure got to
him as he ended up making a series of
rookie mistakes hitting the ball into
the grandstands a stone wall knee-high
rough a water hazard and finally the
sand bunker
he ended up scoring a triple bogey and
cost himself the historic victory number
eight Jim Marshall runs the wrong way is
there anything worse than watching Jim
Marcel run the wrong way in an NFL game
there’s nothing worse than that we all
have brain farts sometimes luckily for
us these embarrassing mistakes aren’t
broadcast to millions of people Jim
Marshall played with the Vikings for
nearly 20 years and had a Hall of Fame
worthy career but he will forever be
known for one thing the infamous wrong
way run during a game against the 49ers
Marshall picked up a fumble and
proceeded to run 66 yards in the wrong
direction resulting in a safety for the
while the Vikings would proceed to win
the game
marshals place in history was officially
set and many people now consider his
infamous run to be one of the worst
plays in NFL history 49er players came
up and said thanks Jim number seven Leon
let’s premature celebration Leon Lett
has certainly had an interesting career
he has made a few mistakes like the time
he famously fumbled a blocked field goal
during the 1993 Thanksgiving classic but
possibly his most famous mistake came in
Super Bowl 27 which saw let’s cowboys
[Applause]
after the Bills quarterback fumbled the
ball let picked it up and ran it all the
way to the endzone however like DeSean
Jackson he celebrated too early by
slowing down and lowering his hand
resulting in the ball being smacked away
before let could breach the endzone this
is the Super Bowl he has simply can’t
make those kinds of mistakes number six
Laura scary is terrible goal keeping bad
goal keeping is obviously embarrassing
like the time Peter ankle Minh
accidentally allowed Olaf Mel Burke’s
throw in enter Loras curious carrie has
found himself on the receiving end of
some truly hateful comments and death
threats after the UEFA Champions League
final against Real Madrid the first
mistake occurred when he tossed the ball
directly into Karim Benzema ‘s foot
allowing for an avoidable goal later he
mishandled a shot from gareth bale
leading to Madrid’s three-to-one victory
and leaving his fans in utter shock
Tamizh not the answer and I think
unfortunately that’s why bicurious for
me
sports psychiatrist Steve Peters
declared it would take Carius three
months to mentally recover while former
goalkeeper ray Clement said that Carius
would never truly get over his costly
mistakes and it’s not about him
the mistakes he might have made it’s
about what as a team we’re gotta get
together as a team and we’ll lose as a
team as well number five Jim Joyce ruins
Armando Galarraga is perfect game six
down here comes number 27 a perfect game
is a very rare thing in baseball to
achieve one a pitcher cannot allow a
single runner on base through all nine
innings and only twenty pitchers had
accomplished that feat prior to
galarraga’s game on the very last out of
the game
the Tigers successfully through out the
Indians base runner but umpire Jim Joyce
incorrectly called him safe and ruined
galarraga’s perfect game both Galarraga
and Joyce were praised for their
responses as Galarraga showed no
animosity towards Joyce and Joyce later
admitted to his incorrect call that’s
what we call sportsmanship and there’s
nobody that feels worse than I do
number four Steve Smith’s own goal own
goal nets in the playoffs are probably
the most embarrassing thing in hockey
just ask Martin Brodeur
luckily for Broder his team went on to
win the Stanley Cup
Steve Smith wasn’t so lucky during Game
seven of the 1986 smites Division final
Smith tried to clear the puck with 14
minutes remaining in the game
unfortunately the puck hit the goalie
stick and ricocheted into his own net
costing the Oilers the game and the
series the worst part it was Smith’s
23rd birthday while fans were upset the
Oilers won the Stanley Cup the next year
and Wayne Gretzky let Steve Smith have
the first skate with the trophy things
happen soon honest mistake that he would
love to have back but you know it’s part
of sports
number 3 Steve Bartman intercepts a foul
Steve Bartman is still a sore subject
for many a Cubs fan the Bartman incident
occurred during Game six of the National
League Championship the Cubs were five
outs away from winning their first
pennant since 1945 when Bartman
accidentally intercepted a foul ball
that may have been caught by Moises Alou
the Cubs collapsed after this event and
ended up losing the series Bartman was
subsequently pelted with food and
escorted out by security and six police
cars were posted apartments house to
prevent further acts of violence the
remains of the ball are now in the
Chicago Sports Museum and the Bartman
seat has become a tourist attraction at
Wrigley Field number 2 Andres Escobar’s
own goal yo pierre de austin de dez de
niro delantero DP released an earlier
most of these mistakes are minor when
compared to Andres Escobar’s everyone
else on this list was able to walk away
from their mistake
Escobar wasn’t as fortunate during the
1994 FIFA World Cup Escobar accidentally
deflected the ball into his own net
contributing to Colombia’s eventual loss
and elimination from the tournament
[Applause]
the bar on the
[Applause]
after returning to Colombia Escobar was
murdered by the bodyguard of a drug
cartel in retaliation for his mistake
the murderer served 11 years in prison
what kiddo gotta then wound up in a big
while the murder tarnished Colombia’s
reputation
Escobar himself was and continues to be
hailed as a national hero

a deal Putin don’t wait long before we
unveil our number-one pick

the fans are screaming out of the field
as if Missouri one oh my goodness and
yet on the other sideline funny you buff

[Applause]
take that Gopal take that go throughout
number one bill Buckner’s missed ground
just the name bill buckner is enough to
send a Red Sox fan into Fitz and his
infamous past ground ball is easily one
of baseball’s most legendary plays in
the 1986 World Series the Red Sox were
leading the Mets three games to two and
Game six was tied in extra innings
Mookie Wilson hit a slow ground ball to
Buckner who let it pass through his legs
allowing the Mets to score and win both
the game and eventually the series it’s
unfortunate happened but that’s baseball
