Funny Football Moments
That was the moment, for me, that Mariners baseball got fun again. The Chiefs went on to win the overtime coin toss and drove down to score a touchdown, winning the game without the Bills touching the ball. A couple of months later, the league changed the overtime rules for the playoffs to ensure that both teams get to touch the ball at least once. While neither of these teams made it to the Super Bowl, this game literally changed the sport—and raised the bar for quarterbacking. To forget all that mediocrity on the field, we decided to focus on the many tremendously funny moments of the 2015 season.
The next month, the Usos defeated RK-Bro to win the Raw Tag Team titles, matching the Tribal Chief in titles held . Sure, Reigns and the Usos continued to take on all comers, but that’s when the Bloodline started to take shape. They did it through perseverance, a methodical offensive attack, and stout second-half defense. They did it on the back of Cousins.
As the clock drains to zero, running back Rhamondre Stevenson takes a handoff, runs through the gut of a prevent defense, and cuts to the right. He flips the ball back to wideout Jakobi Meyers. Meyers—the Patriots’ emergency QB, it should be noted—looks back and sees an open guy. And in front of Mac Jones is Raiders pass rusher Chandler Jones lying in wait. Meyers throws the ball, and it lands directly in the Raiders defender’s breadbasket.
But if it was so absurd that it had no merit, why did Niemann have his butt cheeks scanned at the U.S. Niemann even said he’d play naked to prove he wasn’t cheating. For Karl Power, that was exactly what happened on the night of 18 April 2001. Galvanised by this incredible setback, the Americans proceeded to play with style, grace, panache and poise, losing 6-1. Ok, this one is a little over-played, a little obvious, but can you really deny either its outrageousness, or its hilarity?
Brazil were awarded a 2-0 win, and Chile were not only eliminated from the 1990 World Cup, but banned from the 1994 tournament as well. Rojas was banned for life by FIFA- although the ban was lifted in 2001 under appeal….when he was 44. That was probably the most hilariously awful trick play in history. The Colts decided to shift all the linemen toward the sideline. San Diego Chargers was sad that he had just lost to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.
It takes a special sort of person to instigate a riot at a football match and Emmanuel Adebayor is exactly that. During this perilously short cameo - in his final career appearance against United - Steven Gerrard's only involvements were clattering into one of football's nice guys, Juan Mata, and stamping on Ander Herrera. Delia Smith traded her mild-mannered sensibilities to deliver a rousing half time pep talk to the Norwich City players. Most players can only dream of having the power that Rory Delap enjoyed during Stoke City's' reigns of terror in the late 2000s. At the time though, pulling out a tragically over the top celebration for a 2-2 draw against lowly West Brom provided rival fans with plenty of ammunition. The Scot claimed Robin van Persie was lucky to avoid death when Ashley Williams...checks notes...kicked a ball at his head.
After winning 23 major titles, the perennial no. 1 had nothing left to prove or give. I’m just glad that we Funny Football Moments got one last chance to pull for her. Romario amused fans with many hilarious quotes during his career.
It will be a real treat to watch as Sinner the tennis player tries to climb them, all the way to the top. It’s getting harder to convince him I’m the fatherly version of Tony Romo. On Thanksgiving, before the game started, I pointed to the big, red Salvation Army kettle behind the end zone at AT&T Stadium. “You know,” I said, “Zeke Elliott jumped in there a few years ago.” Fast-forward three-and-a-half quarters.
The next day, Carlsen dropped out of the tournament entirely. Sportsbrief.com also listed the NFL teams that have never won a ring in the tournament's history. The NFL's final, Super Bowl, is one of the world's most popular and famous sports events. While some teams might have been lucky to have won it, some have yet to be so fortunate.

But on 1 November 1975, in a game between Lee’s Derby County & Hunter’s Leeds United, the two stamped their names into the history books in indelible ink for all the wrong reasons. At this point, a fired up Di Canio pushed Alcock with both hands in the chest. Out of order of course, but the manner in which the referee stumbled theatrically to the ground following the push was not only bizarre, but utterly hilarious. There are few things more nerve wracking in football than the penalty shootout. Standing in the way of Jan Molby when the tannoy announces half price burgers perhaps? But for sheer edge of your seat tension, the old shootout has to be the king.
