Top 5 Most Devastating Sports Moments

Well... Sports... Its part of my life... and sadly a large part of my life. At a very young age, i realized that my growth disorder was preventing me from being a viable professional athlete. This picture is of me when i peaked in my athletic career... 4th grade... when everyone was short !

Annnnnddddd.... I digress... About three years ago i was at a charity event that had a bunch of big name athletes (Jerry Rice, Robert Horry, Gary Payton, Eddie George, Tony Hawk, etc...) and at the after party, i needed an "in" to talk to all the women at the party. How could i compete with Gary Payton! We'll... i instantly became a triple crown jockey and thus, a legit professional athlete... BOO- YEAH!

Aaaannnnnnnnddddd.... I'm back... For those that know me, i grow anxious about my sports teams. I endure Raider games, celebrate Laker wins & Championships :-), jump for joy when the Dodgers are televised on the east coast, and follow the Maize 'n Blue.

However, with every great win, there are painful sports memories.

Below are my top 5 Most Devastating Sports Moments in my life.

1. The Tuck Rule- It was a fumble. I hate Walt Coleman. Enough said.



2. 5th Grade Basketball - While on the Curtis School A Team, we travelled to JTD (Arch rival) and mid-way through the third quarter, the ref called me for palming the ball on four (4) consecutive plays. I got taken out..........


3. 2005 NBA Finals - The lakers were such a highly favored team I was eagerly anticipating running around Michigan with Laker Championship gear... except... they got run off the court.



4. Circa 1991 - Dodger Stadium - Random Game - As a young lad, my grandmother would take my mom, brother and I to Dodger games. We would sit right next to the Dodger's batter's box. Well... Orel Herschiser began chatting it up with Mama Millman and i couldnt understand why... and now i do. Having Orel Herschiser hit on my mom doesn't sit well with me... or my dad.



5. Appalachian State- I mean, DI-AA... You are Michigan! If you are going to schedule a cupcake, you better win! What makes it even worse, a routine field goal was blocked to win the game. COME ON!
