Celebration Fail: Korean Baseball Player Prematurely Celebrates Home Run, Watches in Horror as it Turns into Pop Fly (Video)
I’m not one of those stuffy old baseball types who thinks celebrations should be reserved for the clubhouse. However, I do believe that there is a time and a place for everything, and that certain types of celebrations are just uncool. Consider, for example, the home run celebration. It’s natural to be excited when you [...]

Celebration Fail: Cane’s Jussi Jokinen Scores Goal, Takes a Spill (Video)
Even if you do fancy yourself a good ice skater, if you have never played hockey you probably don’t realize just how difficult it is to do some of the things those guys go on skates. Personally, I can skate around in circles while holding a girl’s hand, and I can even do it while [...]

Two Ravens Fans Demonstrate the Perils of Excessive Drunken Celebration (Videos)
They love their Ravens in Baltimore, so it’s no surprise that people took to the streets to celebrates their team’s big victory over the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday. If you’re a hardcore sports fan, it’s hard to blame them. After all, they only have two pro sports teams in Baltimore, and the [...]

Robert Carter Jr. Goes Down Hard After a Dunk (Video)
Some people don’t mind a little showboating in sports. Other people can’t stand it. But one thing I think we can all agree on is that, if nothing else, showboating has a time and place. For example, if your basketball team is playing a far superior opponent, in their gym, on national television, and you’ve [...]

Danny Amendola Spikes Football, Hits Old Dude in the Face (GIF)
Wide receiver Danny Amendola is one of the St. Louis Rams’ biggest weapons and probably the third-most important offensive player after QB Sam Bradford and RB Steven Jackson. Unfortunately, the guy has had to deal with a lot of injuries over the past two seasons. Last year he suffered a nasty injury during Week 1 [...]

20 Awesome Sports High Five GIFs
The high five has been a part of sports since time immemorial. It is the primary form of congratulation during a sporting event, right ahead of the traditional sports butt slap. So you might think there wouldn’t be anything particularly interesting about high fives. They happen about 15 times a game in most leagues, and [...]

Jazz PG Randy Foye Has His Chest Bump Rejected By Coach Tyrone Corbin (Video)
The Los Angeles Lakers made some pretty big additions to their roster in the offseason—Steve Nash and Dwight Howard—that elevated expectations through the roof. So after starting the season 0-3, everybody was losing their minds as though 0-3 was some sort of black hole no team could climb out of. Then, of course, they “finally” [...]

Genius San Francisco Giants Fan Almost Blows His Hand Off With Fireworks (Video)
There are lots of great ways to celebrate your team winning the World Series. Dancing, of course, would probably be the safest and most obvious choice. However, if that doesn’t quite do it for you, you could try some good old-fashioned rioting and car-burning (though that might land you in some legal trouble). Or, if [...]

Caps Prospect Filip Forsberg Gives Us A Great Goal And A Bad Celebration (Video)
When you score a sweet goal that starts a rally and gets your team back into the game, it’s totally natural to celebrate. Just try not to knock out a pane of glass while doing so. Otherwise, you could delay the game and sap your team’s newfound momentum in the process. Leksand and BIK Karlskoga, [...]

Vernon Davis Gave Us The Year’s First Great Touchdown Celebration Fail (Video)
They say that those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. And apparently the 49ers’ Vernon Davis is no historian. You see, there have been a number of really embarrassing celebration fails over the years. Last year Marion Barber tried a backflip after scoring a touchdown, which didn’t turn out too well. [...]

Olympic Celebration Fail: Water Polo Coach Jumps Into Pool, On Player’s Head (Video)
Unlike other team sports, such as soccer and basketball, women’s water polo is relatively new to the Summer Olympics, having been added only 12 years ago for the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney. And unlike those other sports, the USA has not completely dominated women’s water polo. Coming into London 2012, the Americans had medaled [...]

FAIL: CFL Player Celebrates TD Too Early, Gets Tackled On 1 Yard Line (Video)
There are a number of things I don’t like about Canadian football. There aren’t enough downs, the end zone is too big, and, most importantly, the ball is too big for my dainty hands. However, one thing I do like is the fact that the uprights are in play. Thus, if the kicker misses, his [...]

20 Soccer Celebration GIFs
You can’t blame soccer players for going big with their goal celebrations. There are so few opportunities, you just have to make the most out of each and every one. And of course, the same applies to fans. Given that there’s a 40% chance you’ll see a 0-0 draw any time you fork over your [...]

Scottish Rugby Players Celebrate Huge Win Over Aussies With Flying Headbutt (Video)
When I first came across this story, I assumed the so-called “flying headbutt” was on purpose. After all, it’s rugby players we’re talking about, and they are nothing if not two things: tough as nails, and completely insane. But it turns out that they aren’t quite insane enough to intentionally smash their skulls together at [...]

Double Celebration FAIL! (GIF)
Failed celebrations are nothing new to the world of sports. We have seen plenty of them before, whether it was Nate Robinson going up and over Paul Pierce before landing on his neck, or Zlatan Ibrahimovic hyper-extending his elbow during a fist-pump. However, it isn’t often that we bear witness to the incredibly embarrassing double [...]
