It's been awhile since i've last posted, and i wanted to make this one a good one. If you don't know what the Darwin awards are They're basically awards for people dying in stupid ways (you don't actually have to die but it helps your case if you do). As i'm looking through the site i thought to myself there could be a whole catergory for this in sports. So i decided to make up a list of the dumbest, funniest, and weirdest things ever done in sports.

NFL Darwin award

Tie: Leon Lett, and Gus Frerotte

While playing for the Redskins in 1997 Gus Frerotte ran for a rushing td in one of their games. Gus didn't score many times so it was understandible that he was excited. But i think he took it a little too far when he headbutted a concrete wall running full speed. He left the game with a mild concusion

The Dallas Cowboys were winning Super bowl 27 by a score of 52-17 early in the 4th quarter when Leon Lett recorvered a fumble. Whatever happened on the play was irrelevent , they were still going to win. But still all of Dallas' fans rose up to cheer what looked like an aparent touchdown... and looked at each other in shock and disbelief when Lett raised his arms in celebration about a yard away from the endzone, and the ball was stripped away from him from behind by a hustling Don Beebe. The Cowboys ended up winnig the game but no one will ever Let leon forget that play.

MLB Darwin award

Jose Canseco

On may 22nd 1993 the Oakland A's were playing the Cleveland Indians When in the eigth inning Carlos Martinez hit a high fly ball to right field. Canseco circled back almost to the wall and appeared to have it in his sights. But for whatever reason he lost the ball. As it came down it came into contact with Canseco's head and bounced over the wall for a home run. The announcer at the time said it best, "DOINK".

NBA Darwin Award

Dennis Rodman

There's really no one incident with Rodman its really just his whole carrer. From marrying Carmen Electra for 10 days, to wearing a dress to a press conference, this guy's whole life is a Darwin moment.

Hope you guys enjoyed it. I know i did.
