Top Five Unintentionally Hilarious Sports Moments

Funniest "Whoops!" Sports Moments

Throughout the history of sports there have been many ridiculous and hilarious moments. The blunders of a single player costing a team the big game, band members and referees getting knocked to their faces by behemoth athletes and surely a tragic crotch shot or two sprinkled in over the years. With that in mind, here's a list of some of the funniest unintentional sports moments.

Feel free to add your own funniest sports moment in the comments section below. One note, as long as the hilarious sports moment happened in some relation to a sporting event, it did not need to happen during the game to be included in my list.

Top 5 Funniest Sports Moments - (Videos included where possible)

5. "I'm a man, I'm 40!" - Coach press conferences are an abundant source of material for unintentionally hilarious sports moments. From Dennis Green and Jim Mora in the NFL to a variety of college coaches as well, coaches love making a scene at a post-game press conference. A classic recent addition was Oklahoma State's football coach Mike Gundy ranting and raving at a few journalists about it's okay to criticism him, because he's a man, and he's 40 years old. I wonder if his wife got that memo as well.

4. Butchered National Anthem- I actually feel bad for this woman, but that doesn't mean it's not hilarious. She's singing the National Anthem and then forgets the lyrics, stops and says "sorry" then walks behind the bench to go get a written copy. Returning to the ice, ready to salvage the moment with her index card, she slips and dunks it on the ground, and promptly flees the scene.

3. The Joe Paterno Dance - Unfortunately I was not able to grab a video of this, however the dance will live on eternally in my head. Joe Paterno was celebrating, or something, at a Penn State pep rally and then decided to break out some dance moves. He did something that looked like a combination of raising the roof and an epileptic seizure. Another great Paterno moment is his attempt to wrap his head around Twitter, calling it "tweedle doo or tweedle dee", which is very reminiscent of one of our elected officials calling the Internet a series of tubes which can be filled.
