Someone in America has compiled a list of the 50 most bad-ass moments in sport. Here’s a few of my favourites:
Gridiron star Tyrell Owens scores a touchdown, sprints to midfield, slams down the ball, and celbrates in the Dallas Cowboys’ star. This is like Graeme Souness planting the Galatasaray flag in the centre cirle that time. Watch what happens to T.O.
Darryl Dawkins prompts a chorus of tut-tuts from men in suits and wild admiration from fans when he shatters the backboard with an aggresive dunk in 1979.
George Foreman comes out of retirement to become the oldest heavyweight champ at 45 with a shocking 10th round win over Michael Moorer.
We’ll have to do an Irish version soon. Suggested entries: John Aldridge v the FIFA guy in the cap in Orlando; the ‘three-stripe affair’ that rocked the GAA in the 1970s and Donncha O’Callaghan’s risque adverts for a shower manufacturers. Any more?

good stuff dude!
On that note, isn’t there rules in place concerning celebrating in american football?

Thanks Kev; they get fined for taunting and stuff. Dancing on the team’s crest, half the pitch away, is taunting in fairness.

RE: The Irish version
I’m sure you can get many in rugby…will try to think of more…

that’s true: Paul O’Connell’s fear of God speech? former international Dick Spring bringing down the government?
