here are a few...great read..
100. Notre Dame Hiring Charlie Weis

This guy ate your four-leaf clover with a side of sauerkraut
95. The End Zone Cell Phone
<SMALL class=photo-credit></SMALL>
Not only would this decision from Joe Horn cost him money, it just seems like way too much trouble for five seconds of recognition.
Just find some poor fan, steal their popcorn and pour it all over your face.
85. Michael Phelps Decides To Smoke Weed
<SMALL class=photo-credit></SMALL>
Win a record number of Gold Medals, become the sports hero of an entire country, then smoke weed. Sounds like a solid Summer...
68. "The Fifth Down"
<SMALL class=photo-credit></SMALL>
"As a 1990 game between the Universities of Colorado and Missouri wound down, Colorado set up shop just outside the Missouri goal line.
On their first play, they spiked the ball to stop the clock. On second down, a running play failed to breach Missouri?s defence. The Buffaloes called a timeout, during which the officials failed to flip over the down marker.
With the marker still showing second down, the Buffaloes ran again, then spiked again and finally scored on a quarterback sneak. The game-winning score was achieved on ?fifth? down.
The play tainted Colorado?s subsequent national championship."
57. Barry Switzer Elects To Go For It on Fourth Down From Own 29-Yard-Line
<SMALL class=photo-credit></SMALL>
The Cowboys and Eagles are tied at 17 with about two minutes left in the game. Faced with a fourth and one on his own 29-yard-line, Switzer decides to go for it and fails miserably.
But wait! Some shoddy officiating allows Switzer to try it again. And he does...with the exact same play...and the exact same result.
The Eagles would take over on downs and kick the game-winning field goal moments later. Brilliant!
