sometimes sports bring us incredible
moments we will remember forever
other times we see things we wish we
could forget before we begin if you’re a
sports fan
check out the lineup a hockey trivia
game show with a WatchMojo twist welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
sports fails for this list we’re looking
at the biggest fails or collapses in
both individual and team sports number
10 the 2016 Golden State Warriors the
Golden State Warriors have handed the
Cleveland Cavaliers their first loss at
home in the postseason and they take a
commanding three games to one lead the
Golden State Warriors entered the
2015-16 season as the defending
champions and went on to have the best
season in NBA history finishing with a
record of 73 and 9 and breaking the
1995-96 Bulls record for most wins in
the regular season they returned to the
finals to face the Cleveland Cavaliers
for a second straight year and appeared
set to complete one of the greatest
seasons in the history of sports when
they jumped out to a three to one series
lead the Cavaliers recovered however and
forced a game seven where LeBron James
made a huge block in the final two
minutes to help Cleveland complete the
comeback and thoroughly embarrass Golden
State number nine John McEnroe at the
1984 French Open McEnroe is at the peak
of his game he’s unbeaten the last 42
matches things couldn’t have been better
for John McEnroe when he entered the
French Open final in 1984 he hadn’t lost
a match all year and looked nearly
unbeatable as he jumped out to a quick
two sets to nothing lead over Yvonne
Lendl however an ill-advised outburst
directed at a cameraman marked the
beginning of the end for McEnroe as
Lendl came storming back and won the
next three sets to take home the trophy
something into the earphones of ice
courtside reporters while Lendl’s
resolved played a large role in the
comeback
most people credit McEnroe’s ridiculous
outburst as the catalyst for his
collapse and for John McEnroe and once
again an American leaves empty from
Terrace number 8 the 2013 Toronto Maple
Leafs careful with it moving it over to
fan cackles to creep out every scores
Lee fans flooded the streets of Toronto
as their team jumped out to a 4-1 lead
in the third period of Game seven
against the Bruins in the first round of
the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs the Leafs
had been down in the series three to one
but rallied and only needed to survive
ten minutes to clinch the victory
the Bruins scored three straight goals
however including two in the final two
minutes of the game to send it into
overtime Boston then scored six minutes
into overtime to win the game and the
series as a result Toronto became the
first team to lose a game 7 after
leading by three goals in the third
period number seven the 1993 Houston
Oilers touchdown four years ago in what
remains the largest comeback in league
history
the Oilers somehow managed to blow a 32
point lead over the Buffalo Bills in the
wild-card round of the 1993 NFL playoff
the Bills entered the second half down
by 25 and the game appeared to be over
when Bubba McDowell returned an
interception 58 yards to increase
Houston’s lead to 32 early in the third
the Bills managed to score another 35
points and would eventually win the game
in overtime 41 to 38 all without star
quarterback Jim Kelly who missed the
game due to injury in Houston this
infamous game is known as the choke
everywhere else it’s called the comeback
[Applause]
record-setting wildcard playoff victory
here at rich Stadium number six the 1986
Boston Red Sox the focus wasn’t so much
on the fact that Red Sox lost that game
but it was that I lost as surprising as
it may seem to fans of the team today
the Red Sox went a very very long time
without winning a World Series back in
1986 they were looking to break a 68
year drought and appeared set to do so
as they led the New York Mets five to
three and needed only one out to clinch
the victory the Mets remarkably were
able to tie the game at 5:00 when Mookie
Wilson hit a slow grounder up the first
base line little roller up along first
the Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner
somehow let the ball roll through his
legs allowing the Mets to score the
winning run the Mets would win Game
seven and take home the series and
Buckner’s name became synonymous with
sports fails what the hell were you
doing no I did wrong with the hand
always like but you are gonna lose
control oh it was a watch it catch on oh
look a good roll
probably number five Roberto Baggio
‘he’s missed penalty at the 1994 FIFA
World Cup play Roberto Baggio had a
pretty remarkable World Cup tournament
in 1994 scoring five goals four of which
came during Italy’s quarter-final and
semifinal matches however he’s
remembered most for his worst moment of
the tournament Italy and Brazil remained
scoreless after regular and extra time
ending the match to a penalty shootout
with Brazil leading three to two
Italy sent Biagio up to keep his team
alive unlike the earlier games however
Biagio failed to deliver sending the
ball flying over the net and stealing
Brazil’s fourth World Cup victory
number four Jean Van de Velde at the
1999 British Open I think really if
anybody needs an advisor he does at this
at this moment sport of golf has seen
its fair share of epic collapses over
the years like that time Greg Norman
blew a six-shot lead in the final round
of the 1996 Masters but that was nothing
compared to john van de velde at the
British Open in 1999
van de velde held a three-stroke lead
going into the final hole of the
tournament he made a series of bad shots
and decisions however and wound up
taking a triple bogey on the hole he
eventually lost in a playoff completing
perhaps the worst choke in golf history
in fact some have even coined the term
pulling a van de Velde when a golfer
chokes away a lead no this video is
beyond the judge now he’s done Gaga
because this is this is quite I’ve never
seen anything like it before to attempt
to hit the ball out of there is pure
madness number three
Patrick Stefan’s failed breakaway the
the press file says he was about to
shoot it in the net a first round pick
by the Atlanta Thrashers in the 1999 NHL
Entry Draft
Patrick Steffen never quite lived up to
the hype and is regarded by many as one
of the biggest draft busts in NHL
history in this moment may in fact sum
up his career with just seconds
remaining in the game
stefan skated towards the empty net with
the puck but somehow mishandled it
failing to score even worse while
falling he knocked the puck back to the
Edmonton player who was able to move
down the ice and ultimately set up a
tying goal following this iconic fail
Stefan played in just 13 more games
scoring only two points Chris you
believe what we just saw number two the
2004 New York Yankees Robert will come
play the throw by William Bill Miller
hide it sometimes it’s a good thing to
be the first team to ever do something
in this case it’s the exact opposite as
the Yankees became the first team in MLB
history to lose a series after leading
three games to none the Bronx Bombers
certainly lived up to their name in the
first three games of the series pounding
their rivals the Boston Red Sox with a
total of 32 runs scored
the Red Sox remarkably escaped
elimination in Game four after trailing
in the bottom of the ninth and reeled
off three more wins to complete their
epic comeback and the Yankees epic fail
[Music]
[Applause]
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions the
Patriots scored 31
[Applause]
I’m not
[Applause]
number one the 2003 Chicago Cubs a
chance to win their first World title
since this day 1908 the Cubs appeared
poised to return to the World Series for
the first time since 1945 as they led
the Florida Marlins 3 to 2 in the series
and three to nothing in the game heading
into the eighth inning then in an
instant everything changed a fan named
Steve Bartman reached for a foul ball
and prevented the Cubs left fielder from
making a play on it
the Cubs then suffered a meltdown of
epic proportions
the Marlins proceeded to score eight
runs in the inning and would come from
behind again in Game seven to win 9 to 6
knocking Chicago out of the playoffs and
the story turned basically from Cubs
going to the World Series to this one
guy blew it for us even though the
pitchers gave up you know eight run do
