Funny sporting moments


Recommended Posts

just felt like posting tht, today i went to see Marseilles - Toulouse, and the match was quite dull apart from this relatively funny moment when the ball went into the Yankee supporters (they're a name - nothing meant against americans lol) at which point this lil kid grabbed it (after this kind of struggle for it - didnt c much i was at other end) and ran for his life, followed by a group of 7-8 other ppl running after him. He disappeared in the exit. Dunno what happened next.

Anyone else seen such moments?

Mods if this counts as spam/"post your" thread feel free of course to delete this thread, i just felt like posting it after remembering this lil kid :p

i had lots of fun with the cubs fans at the braves/cubs division series this year. when sammy sosa's bat broke in game 1 i think it was, everyone was yelling "check the bat". sosa hit a ball off the top of the wall in game 2, and i was sitting in the 2nd row along the right field line, so when he came back out me and some of my fellow braves fans suggested to him that he put a little more cork in the bat. he glared at us for a brief second. In Game 5, there was a Cubs fan in my section that said he was going to run out on the field if the Cubs won. He was trying to convince the other cubs fans to come with him. many of them said they'd be right behind him. the cubs did win :( , and he ran onto the field - alone, gave sosa and kenny lofton high fives, then ran around in the infield for a while. we all got a kick out of watching him get his ass kicked by security.

at a falcons game earlier this year, our entire endzone was chanting "fire dan reeves!" we got our wish. :).

none of my stories are all that funny, just lots and lots of heckling, you'd kinda have to be there to appreciate it. every game me and whoever im with will find someone on the field/ice/court to pick on. im sure some of you can relate.

I remember a Sox/Cubs series not too long ago...a few drunk fans felt the need to call a guy peanut head and throw peanuts at him. It ended up with one black eye and a pair of broken sunglasses. It was quite funny being there and my mom was in the picture in the paper. :happy: :laugh:

Anything that involves a player getting hit in the nuts.

That funniest moment i can remember was a soccer player in the premier league diving feet first trying to save a goal, instead he slids too much and ended up with the pole between his feet.

happens quite often...

how about those goalkeepers who dived for a slow ball coming towards them and later they find out that the ball has gone between their legs for a goal

this was pretty funny i guess. there is a really good weekly feature on aol called 'did you see that!?!'

it has some of the best picks in sports. i gotta find the archive, there is some really funny shti in there.

I remember the pic of Sammy Sosa getting beaned in the nugget, and his helmet shattered. That was a pretty cool pic as well.

That is the best. One year me and my friends went to all of the bomber games, and rushed the field after every game. It is awesome. Mingle with the players, and once we did it once or twice alot more people would follow so security wouldn't buother with us.

School basketball: Our team was getting our asses kicked. One of the guys almost lost the ball.. bounced infront of him, he reached out to get it, guy from the other team sprinted up to it and kicked it as hard as he could. It went straight into the nose of his team mate that was sitting on the sideline.

It must have hurt, I had never seen someone kick a basketball that hard before.

What about the WS baseball game boston/new york, I think it was game 3 when manny "started" a fight and pushed the yankee coach to the floor!!!!!

I was LMAO after I saw the replay of that!!!!

and it wasnt the world series either. good call

and it wasnt the world series either. good call

Sorry for the bad details guys, I didn't see the game and was kinda sleepy when I saw the replay of the fight...

But this post made me remember it and at that moment I was laughing again...so I had to post it. ;)

At least you got the idea of what I was talking about. :)

I was at that game where he hit the ball off the top of the wall. Flew down from Chicago to see it. After that first inning I was sure we were going to crush you. Good game.

yeah it was a great game, and a great series. i went to all 3 games in atlanta, and i really enjoyed the company of the cubs fans, its great how loyal you guys are to your team. flying or driving from chicago puts my 2 hour drive to shame. i would have loved to go to the games at wrigley, but i figured the chances of getting in would be about 1000:1.

    • I have a couple to mention, and they still run great on Windows 11 Adobe Lightroom Version 2 Alcohol 120% ISO Buster Pro version 1.9.1 (Still supports HD-DVD too) Nero Burning Rom 8 (Only the burning software, no backup, media converter, etc)   PowerDVD 12 Ultra SPTD (SCSI Pass through Direct Driver) UltraISO WinImage    
    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
