Blaming Bartman for that lose is ridiculous. It was a foul ball ! A couple batters later the batter hit a perfect double play ball right at the shortstop. It would have ended the inning with no runs scored. But the ball went through his legs. It was worse then Buckner's play. But no one talks about that. The Cubs chocked, pure and simple.
To Bartman’s credit and his character, he has never taken a dime in regard to what happened, he has never sought to profit off of the incident. That makes him more of a class act than anyone else
That’s true. I just feel like Cavs could have had Game 1 if JR didn’t mess up but you’re probably right, they wouldn’t have won anyway. I’m actually a Warriors fan so I watched that live and was really nervous at the time, I thought we were going to lose Game 1 and be down 1-0! Haha

J.R. Smith runs the clock out in the 2018 NBA championship game, thinking the Cavs were ahead, when they were actually tied. That's definitely the worst thing in recent memory. It completely deflated the Cavs mentally and they were unable to recover.
Micah-David Saunders the first game is a huge game.... so much momentum came from that. sure they should have came out better but... oh well. but winning that first game is a game changer for sure
Richard Taveira not even his fault, shitty pitching got the runners in scoring position AND the passed ball let the tying run in, ALSOOO IT was only game 6, there was another game to be played
Bill Buckner was an outstanding player that got unfairly chastised. It was criminal what some Boston fans did to him. I’m a huge Red Sox fan, but these fans’ behavior was inexcusable during this time and for years after. It was the only time I’ve ever been truly embarrassed to be a Boston sports fan. Bill Buckner was a truly excellent player and an even better human. I really felt for him and his family. May he rest in peace.
I was so expecting the same thing. I was like ''hey, this video came out the week after the NBA finals, for sure they put Mr. Smith in there somewhere near the top...''
Agreed. They would have lost anyways. Also, you can clearly see that there were other fans who reached for the ball. My guess is that if Bartman hadn't been there, Alou still doesn't get the ball.
To add a bit more info to the Steve Smith own goal at 6:30: the Oilers and the Flames are provincial rivals (known as 'the Battle of Alberta'). The rivalry is well known in hockey and Canadian football, but also has some political undertones. Edmonton tends to be a more liberal city by Alberta standards whereas Calgary tends to be more conservative. The 1980's was the height of this rivalry as both teams were among the league's best. The Oilers had won the Stanley Cup in 1984 and 85, so this own goal interrupted a dynasty (the Oilers ended up winning the Cup in 87, 88, and 90). The Flames went on to lose in the Cup Final in 86 but won the Cup in 89.
Nick Van Berkel That was the best set of players for both teams! I miss when you could buy nosebleeder seats for $6.25..... my best friend and I would skip first period of class and wait in line to buy tickets. You could only buy four seats per person, one day before the game, so we always got eight, and then whoever wanted to go would fork it over and happily took the ctrain to the Saddledome. McCinnis, Roberts, Gilmour, the Hunters, Vernon, Nieuwendyk, Fleury..... I probably forgot some!
Andres Escobar’s was a result of an altercation in a club in which the guy realized he was the one who cost them the World Cup and that just added fuel to the fire, but it wasn’t the sole reason
Oh man, I was watching the Detroit game when Armando Galaragga's perfect game got taken away ( been a Detroit fan my whole life thanks to pops lol) and god was that incredibly upsetting. I remember hearing Jim Joyce's apology the next day, but it did very little for the soul lol
Two Association Football entries does not qualify it as a World Sports video. Now if WatchMojo were to limit the entries to one mistake per sport, it would be a lot more fair
Leave Steve Bartman alone. He isn't the reason the Cubs lost that game. There was no guarantee that Alou even makes that catch. Outside of that, the Cubs completely choked for several plays after that foul ball.
Agree!! Blaming Bartman for the Cubs losing was the most ridiculous thing ever!! He did what EVERY fan in that situation would have done. And the Cubs still had plenty of chances to win that series, and they completely melted down! I've always thought that guy got the rawest of deals.
Missing a decisive penalty in a shootout isn’t really valid. It’s misfortune, it happens. And if a fan can affect a baseball match without entering the field of play it shows what a stupid sport it is.
Gordon Hawkes baseball GAME*. Fans CAN interfere with the game but not without consequences. Its kind of an unwritten rule in all ballparks that you don’t mess with the ball if it’s that close to the field. Baseball is not a stupid sport, it’s a fantastic and complex sport that people who are simple minded (like you) can’t comprehend, then proceed to attack it!! And contrary to popular belief it’s beloved worldwide, though it’s not popular everywhere there are a multitude of countries that LOVE it
The outfielder was reaching into the stands... it was not fan interference. Jeffrey Meyer and the 1997 ALCS at Yankee Stadium was fan interference that should have been called.
What is with people putting death threats on one person for a mistake? Their are lots of other players on the team also who could have made one more play and avoided the situation entirely. No death threats for them. And also, this is a GAME. A game is not worth someone life.
If you're considering the implications of the plays, then Leon Lett doesn't fit at all. Dumb, sure. But the cowboys were up 52-17 at the time. Hardly mattered.
Leon Lett's other play sure did. The one where he touched the missed field goal by Miami - which turned the ball over and led directly to a Miami Dolphin victory
Not really a mistake. It was coaches call, a decision, and generally a safe play to call, with high probability of success. Seahawk guy was just slow on the ball, didn't make an effort, and Malcom Butler read it all the way, and cut in to make interception. He will have that for the rest of his life. Don't understand why Belichick wouldn't let him play in Super Bowl vs Eagles (2017 Season). He may have made the difference for Pats to win. But Butler was pissed, and now his gone from Patriots.
Spot on about Butler making the play vs Seattle, aspenrebel. There is an excellent breakdown online somewhere (can't remember at the moment) that explained EXACTLY why Belichick opted to leave Butler on the bench vs Philly. It made perfect sense, as Butler was the less-physical choice at CB for Belichick, and the poison that the Patriots picked was to make Foles throw to beat them. It showed how Butler got manhandled vs Jacksonville (a game the Patriots woulda/coulda/shoulda lost if the refs allowed the Jax DB to return the fumble for a TD, as he was never touched down) and that Philly would've gone after Butler the same way. EXCELLENT explanation if you can find it. Definitely worth your time. Basically, it was exactly what Belichick said it was. He went with the other CB because he felt it gave New England the best chance to win. Belichick wasn't lying or being coy. He was stating his reason very plainly and accurately. And it actually made perfect sense, once you understood the options Belichick had in view of what transpired in the Jacksonville game.
I know most probably aren't golf fans, but Van De Velde's collapse was so painful to watch, because unlike all the other events on this list, it didn't occur in a split second. While most of these errors are catastrophic, they occur because of a split second horrible decision. Van De Velde's incident went on for nearly 30 minutes (the video is on youtube), making constant bad decision after bad decision. At some points his blunders even get lucky breaks, and yet he still continues to collapse. It was to the point where fans, announcers, even his own caddie were pleading with him. I'll never forget that.
Pressure does get on the head at times. I am only surprised it doesn't happen quite often in a sport like golf where there are large idle periods between 'action'.
Sucks that you see people just falling over each other, because football is such a complex and strategically played game. Every play is a quick game of chess. The pieces are set, moves are made, everyone plays a part. There are tricks, fakes, covers, blocks... even the clock is a HUGE factor, and how you work out minutes and seconds left to your favor, or manipulate the clock to work against the opponent. It appeases every sort of fan. Some love speed, catches, and violent hits. Others like to step back and analyze the play. It's not for everyone, I gotta admit, but it's definitely not shit.
@Jopom, maybe, but the point is that nobody except Americans will ever care to figure this shit out. American football has been invented exclusively by Americans for Americans. For a sport to be exciting, its not only about the sport itself, but about a rivalry between countries and/or clubs from around the world. So it's really hard to get involved if you're not American or at least u don't live in America. Also it's a sport that you cannot just go and play with your friends, you cannot associate yourself with it in any way.
@Maciej Good points, so I'm hoping it'll go national some day, but I doubt it. As for playing with friends, it's a lot of fun. My friends and family play it often, very casually of course. Its a simple abridged version, the downs don't move, so you can just use a back yard. Lets say 2 vs 2, my turn to throw, my partner and I turn away and I silently go over the play using the football as a field, "run straight down for 2 seconds turn left fake then right" while the other 2 decide who's covering me or my receiver. We hike, I hope the bastard listened to me, then I hope I make my throw. Sometimes tackle, most times just 2 hand touch, and there's simply a touch down line. Like downs we get 4 tries before the ball is handed over. If there's only 3 people, it's just simply a thrower, a catcher and the dude trying to stop you from catching, no points, just messing around. More than 3 v 3 then we do downs and try to play a game on a field, but not often I find that many interested, lol.
@@maciejkowalski2759 I'm not american and I really like American Football (Giants fan here). I think that the sport is gaining popularity around the world and even if it never beats the original football, i'll still watching it.
That Buckner play really scarred me .Saying that he was one of my favorites and I never blamed him for that loss.......even though it was technically his fault. lol
"Is there anything worse than Jim Marshall running the wrong way?" Yes, yes there is... listening to your voice is like hearing sandpaper brush up against the buttox of a newborn water buffalo.
All joking aside, there is one thing that's worse than that: the general fan & media consensus that that one bad mistake is probably (and very unfairly) keeping Marshall out of the hall of fame with an otherwise very stellar career performance.
As a Detroit Piston's fan, I'll always remember the screwed up inbounds pass that Larry Bird stole, and won the game for the Celtics, and I think the playoff series...
By your logic, Game 6 of the 1985 World Series (and the Series win) should retroactively go to St. Louis because the same damn thing happened in that game.
I feel better now. I've been kicking myself for a very very very stupid mistake I made while running 🏃♂️. I was winning and almost in the finish line when I started overthinking and run back and took another unnecessary lane. To this day I really don't understand why I sabotage myself like that. I knew I was wrong but an impulse took over me because I was overthinking and nervous. And that was a stupid teenager race between 3 schools with no importance. I cannot imagine how sport professionals must feel making a stupid mistake in a serious competition.
I still don't understand why Baseball won't just give him the perfect game. "Well we don't want to go against the umpires". I understand that but this is the extremely rare case where ONLY history, and not the outcome of a game was severely impacted. It's not as if they went on to lose the game or the shutout even because of that extra out. Give the man his perfect game.
@@ozielich try to grasp what I'm saying. You throw a perfect game and I mess it up by blowing a call. A number of years later the league tells you they changed the score and you now have a perfect game...….you think SO WHAT!!!....it's not the same. The moment was lost when the call was blown. It can't be re-made. That is what I was saying.
I was one of the millions watch Mr. Galarraga’s stolen perfect game. He was so excited as he raced to first, certain (as the rest of us were) that he had beaten the runner. When Joyce called the runner safe, Galarraga gave a “you’ve got to be kidding” look. Most other pitchers would have thrown a tantrum. His grace, good sportsmanship (and the usually superb Joyce’s tearful realization of his blown call) made them both winners in my book. I can still see Miggie Cabrerra clutching his head in disbelief. It will always be the most vivid perfect game in my eyes.
Camille Richardson nah it wasn't a foul and Don't get me started on that hand ball there was no intent he was defending properly no other way he could of deflected it
The soccer goal on a throw in you showed at 4:42 was a referee mistake, on top of the goalkeeper mistake. According to soccer rules, this is not a goal, but a corner kick. You can't score a goal directly from a throw in. If you do, it is either a corner kick (in case of an "own goal"), or a goal kick (in case of a "normal goal").
All top ten were minor flubs compared to Pete Carroll's call in the Super Bowl. He was able to walk away from USC but I think he'll never be able to walk away from this shocking mistake.
Yeah, that Super Bowl pass Carroll called when they had the ball with 2nd down on the 2 yard line and Marshawn Lynch had been a beast all game should've been near the top of not number one on this dubious list.
But they didn't. So you're telling me that J.R's mistake was okay? You're saying "if" you can say that about all 10 of these it doesn't change anything.
What about Lindsey Jacobellis throwing away the Gold medal at snowboard cross in 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin by celebrating before she crossed the line?
I legit still can’t watch the replays from the Jim Joyce call. I’m not a Tigers fan, I’m a White Sox fan but I love baseball more than anything on earth and understand the difficulty of a perfect game and it just gets me every time I watch it. The responses from Jim and especially Armando were really awesome though. It would’ve been so easy for Armando to torch Jim in that moment and after it, but he understood people make mistakes and held no ill feelings toward him and it’s moments like that one that reinforce my love for the best game in the world ⚾️
What!? I'm not disagreeing with the fact that Bill Buckner's moment was bad but Escobar was killed because of his goal while Buckner was forgiven. That doesn't make any sense!!!
I'll make you a better list below. The biggest problem with this list is that the relative importance of the mistake. For example, Desean Jackson throwing the football in celebration is bad... but the Eagles still had the ball at the 1 yard line and scored a 1 yard rushing touchdown from Brian Westbrook. Even Jim Marshall's wrong way run against the 49ers was a game in the regular season. A list of "Most Shocking Mistakes" should be on important stages. My personal list: 10. J.R. Smith's Game 1 mistake (2018 NBA Finals) 9. Gareth Southgate's penalty miss for England against Germany (Euro 1996) 8. The ball going through Bill Buckner's legs in the 1986 World Series Game 6 7. Steven Gerrard's slip against Chelsea (2014 Premier League) 6. Seattle Seahawks interception at the goal line in Super Bowl XLIX 5. Snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis' showboating which caused her to lose the Gold Medal in 2006 4. Steve Smith putting the puck in his own net against Calgary in the 1986 Stanley Cup Playoffs 3. Fred Merkle's baserunning mistake in the 1908 National League season which led to a game replay 2. Jean Van De Velde's triple Bogey in 1999 Open Championship 1. Roberto Baggio's penalty miss for Italy against Brazil (1994 World Cup)
Here's one: NHL referee Kerry Fraser and his two linesmen completely "miss" an obvious high sticking infraction by Wayne Gretzky on Doug Gilmour in the overtime of game 6 of the 1993 Stanley Cup conference final between the Los Angeles Kings and the Toronto Maple Leafs. If the major penalty had been correctly called, Gretzky would have been booted from the game, as his high stick had cut Gilmour's chin. As Toronto was already up 3-2 in the series at the time, a five-minute man advantage with the sport's greatest star out of the game could easily have enabled the Leafs to win that match and, thus, the series and go on to the team's first finals appearance in 26 mostly painful years. The opponent would have been Montreal, and the Leafs' rivalry with the Canadiens just happens to be hockey's greatest and longest-standing. In short, there was a hell of a lot riding on the game, the overtime and whether this penalty would be called, both for the players and Toronto's long-suffering, rabid fans. Gretzky received no penalty and ended up scoring the overtime-winning goal in that game. He also scored a hat trick to help L.A. win game 7 and the Leafs have still yet to make the finals since. Even though it's now over 25 years since this happened, generations of fans in the hockey-mad city of Toronto still dwell on this non-call and its immediate and long-term effects. In the aftermath, Fraser admitted to missing the call. For more information, ua-cam.com/video/6sQHanp5aoo/v-deo.html. Haters keep your crap to yourself. I don't care if you don't agree with this one, if you dislike hockey or if you think this list was too pro-North American. If you don't like it, make your own video or contribute something more than a complaint riddled with spelling errors.
It's time to let it go. Why do I say that? Because there are more recent examples that cost other cities actual Stanley Cup wins. For example, the Flames in 2004 (I'm an Oilers fan, btw). Not only did Gelinas score a goal that was called back (because the officials "couldn't see" that it was clearly across the line), but St Louis also tripped Iginla - in the same game - just prior to scoring the official winner. Two blown calls against the Flames that 100% cost them the Cup as the Flames were up 3 games to 2 at the time. All the Fraser miss cost was a possible series win.
Also, why no mention of the 1978 Giants/Eagles matchup where Joe Pisarcik fumbled away an already sealed victory by trying to hand off to Larry Csonka, instead of just falling on the ball after the snap to run out the clock near the end of the game?
I think who atleast deserves an honorable mention is Oliver Kahn in the World Cup Final in 2002. He was the reason for why an average german national team with a few standout players reached the world cup final against Brazil, only for fumbling a straight up shot from Rivaldo that gave Ronaldo the chance for the 1-0. He still got the award for best player, but losing the world cup in that fashion is very frustrating.
Kurt Sudheim Those slips in other sports don’t cause a team to choke a title race that they haven’t won in many years. Especially with Gerrard who is one of the best of all time.
Documentaries that cover some of these moments: #7 ESPN 30 For 30 Four Falls of Buffalo (Though it's was really about Don Beebe's play), #3 ESPN's Catching Hell, #2 ESPN's The Two Escobars, #1 partially covered in Catching Hell
Yeah that definitely deserves to be on here since they're ranking by repercussions. It prevented the Oilers from drafting Patrick Kane! Although that's a whole lot of ifs and buts, you can't tell me that's not a crazily cool scenario to think about.
Yeah, ball was still LIVE as best I could see. Player could have gone back and tried to pick it up again, and tried to run it in for a TD again. What did they say, by Rule it was placed on the 1 yard line? Maybe refs blew the whistle though. What game was it, when something similar happened, and the refs DID NOT blow the whistle. Ball still LIVE. I think someone finally picked it up and ran it back the other way for a TD. I remember seeing the ref just standing there, looking at the ball, did not blow the whistle.
I remember a college game I think it was Stanford vs Oregon and a Oregon duck player drop the ball on the 1 yard and celebrated like he scored a TD and you see a line Judge squat and look at the ball and didn't give no TD signal and a Stanford player notice picked it up and ran the other way for a TD.
The Bill Buckner thing has never been fair. Mookie Wilson was one of fastest guys in baseball at the time and that ball took a weird hop there’s no question he would’ve beat that out if u look closely u could already see him 3/4 down the line the redsox would’ve lost if he made that play or not
How can a missed baseball through the legs be ranked 1 compared to someone who accidentally scored an own goal then was subsequently killed huh...? Only in America I guess....
Acel Damia So what's there not to understand about a guy missing the ball through his legs while playing a game of rounders huh? You've just proved my point about America you complete and utter fkwitt
If you want to go back as far as 1929, U. of California football player Roy Riegels picked up a Georgia Tech fumble and ran about 60 yards the wrong way in the Rose Bowl, leading to Georgia Tech scoring a touchdown and winning the game 8-7. In 1964, when the Vikings' Jim Marshall made his wrong-way run, Riegels sent him a telegram which said: "Welcome to the club!"
How is Escobar's not No. 1 when you're ranking by repercussions? He was murdered for his own goal!
Because they were not ranking by repercussions that's why. "Top 10 Most Shocking Mistakes in Sports"

I'm a Red Sox fan and I was thinking exactly the same thing. You can't compare a disappointing result with someone getting murdered.
Plus, Buckner's bumble was in a *tie* game, and in a Gm 6. The Red Sox had already given up the lead, as well as blew Gm 7.

To add a bit more info to the Steve Smith own goal at 6:30: the Oilers and the Flames are provincial rivals (known as 'the Battle of Alberta'). The rivalry is well known in hockey and Canadian football, but also has some political undertones. Edmonton tends to be a more liberal city by Alberta standards whereas Calgary tends to be more conservative.
The 1980's was the height of this rivalry as both teams were among the league's best. The Oilers had won the Stanley Cup in 1984 and 85, so this own goal interrupted a dynasty (the Oilers ended up winning the Cup in 87, 88, and 90). The Flames went on to lose in the Cup Final in 86 but won the Cup in 89.
Nick Van Berkel That was the best set of players for both teams! I miss when you could buy nosebleeder seats for $6.25..... my best friend and I would skip first period of class and wait in line to buy tickets. You could only buy four seats per person, one day before the game, so we always got eight, and then whoever wanted to go would fork it over and happily took the ctrain to the Saddledome. McCinnis, Roberts, Gilmour, the Hunters, Vernon, Nieuwendyk, Fleury..... I probably forgot some!
COME ON!! JR Smith’s dripping out the ball into overtime DIDN’T MAKE THIS LIST?????🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
biggybtoussaint because it’s not shocking, JR is not the sharpest tool in the shed
I was expecting it to be in the top 3. Who knows what could've happened if the Cavs won that game 1.
Maybe if it was tied 3-3 then that would have been a huge mistake!
Not even worth an honorable mention, even if he doesn’t make that mistake the series ends in warriors winning in 5
biggybtoussaint because it didn't cost them the game just made it overtime
Everybody: Boston will never recover from Buckner’s reputation!
Tom Brady: Hold my beer.
Andres Escobar’s was a result of an altercation in a club in which the guy realized he was the one who cost them the World Cup and that just added fuel to the fire, but it wasn’t the sole reason
Dude at 2:49 sounds like the slug woman from Monsters Inc 😂😂 *I'm watching you Wizowski...*
Seahawks choosing to pass instead of run
Iron Revenger9 we don't talk aboot that
Gabe D actually lets talk, lets talk about Carroll and the OC were complete morons for allowing that to happen
I thought that would be an honorable mention.
Lol 🏈🏃
As a Seahawks fan I though that was going to be number 1 lol
Number 5 deserves at least an asterisk to be acknowledged as an unofficial perfect game.
Oh man, I was watching the Detroit game when Armando Galaragga's perfect game got taken away ( been a Detroit fan my whole life thanks to pops lol) and god was that incredibly upsetting. I remember hearing Jim Joyce's apology the next day, but it did very little for the soul lol
Yeah, I was hoping for a reversal, but they wouldn't do it.

6:14 When the Indians runner is called safe to ruin the perfect game, it looks like even he doesn't believe it.
Leave Steve Bartman alone. He isn't the reason the Cubs lost that game. There was no guarantee that Alou even makes that catch. Outside of that, the Cubs completely choked for several plays after that foul ball.
Not to mention that there were other people reaching for the ball too.
Agree!! Blaming Bartman for the Cubs losing was the most ridiculous thing ever!! He did what EVERY fan in that situation would have done. And the Cubs still had plenty of chances to win that series, and they completely melted down! I've always thought that guy got the rawest of deals.
Not the point.
Finally...
The Cubs won the World Series in 2016! Steve Bartman can breathe more easily now!

Then you came to the wrong place.
Missing a decisive penalty in a shootout isn’t really valid. It’s misfortune, it happens. And if a fan can affect a baseball match without entering the field of play it shows what a stupid sport it is.
Gordon Hawkes baseball GAME*. Fans CAN interfere with the game but not without consequences. Its kind of an unwritten rule in all ballparks that you don’t mess with the ball if it’s that close to the field. Baseball is not a stupid sport, it’s a fantastic and complex sport that people who are simple minded (like you) can’t comprehend, then proceed to attack it!! And contrary to popular belief it’s beloved worldwide, though it’s not popular everywhere there are a multitude of countries that LOVE it
@@michaelraymundo2247 If after that incident fans stil can interfere, even if they do suffer consequences afterwards, that's stupid.
The outfielder was reaching into the stands... it was not fan interference. Jeffrey Meyer and the 1997 ALCS at Yankee Stadium was fan interference that should have been called.
@@oneblankspace4919 thank you. I live and die by the Orioles. A lot of dying lately. But that call was so ridiculous. I still have nightmares.
You're a stupid sport.
What is with people putting death threats on one person for a mistake? Their are lots of other players on the team also who could have made one more play and avoided the situation entirely. No death threats for them. And also, this is a GAME. A game is not worth someone life.

If you're considering the implications of the plays, then Leon Lett doesn't fit at all. Dumb, sure. But the cowboys were up 52-17 at the time. Hardly mattered.
The "implication" wasn't the only criteria. Not dealing with rocket science here, big guy.
0:47
Leon Lett's other play sure did. The one where he touched the missed field goal by Miami - which turned the ball over and led directly to a Miami Dolphin victory
Seahawks fan believe throwing the ball was the biggest mistake. Can’t believe it wasn’t on the list.
Not really a mistake. It was coaches call, a decision, and generally a safe play to call, with high probability of success. Seahawk guy was just slow on the ball, didn't make an effort, and Malcom Butler read it all the way, and cut in to make interception. He will have that for the rest of his life. Don't understand why Belichick wouldn't let him play in Super Bowl vs Eagles (2017 Season). He may have made the difference for Pats to win. But Butler was pissed, and now his gone from Patriots.
Spot on about Butler making the play vs Seattle, aspenrebel.
There is an excellent breakdown online somewhere (can't remember at the moment) that explained EXACTLY why Belichick opted to leave Butler on the bench vs Philly. It made perfect sense, as Butler was the less-physical choice at CB for Belichick, and the poison that the Patriots picked was to make Foles throw to beat them. It showed how Butler got manhandled vs Jacksonville (a game the Patriots woulda/coulda/shoulda lost if the refs allowed the Jax DB to return the fumble for a TD, as he was never touched down) and that Philly would've gone after Butler the same way. EXCELLENT explanation if you can find it. Definitely worth your time.
Basically, it was exactly what Belichick said it was. He went with the other CB because he felt it gave New England the best chance to win. Belichick wasn't lying or being coy. He was stating his reason very plainly and accurately. And it actually made perfect sense, once you understood the options Belichick had in view of what transpired in the Jacksonville game.
Shocked that JR Smith wasn't even an honorable mention
Mike cushinberry neither was Blair Walsh
I know most probably aren't golf fans, but Van De Velde's collapse was so painful to watch, because unlike all the other events on this list, it didn't occur in a split second. While most of these errors are catastrophic, they occur because of a split second horrible decision. Van De Velde's incident went on for nearly 30 minutes (the video is on youtube), making constant bad decision after bad decision. At some points his blunders even get lucky breaks, and yet he still continues to collapse. It was to the point where fans, announcers, even his own caddie were pleading with him. I'll never forget that.
Pressure does get on the head at times. I am only surprised it doesn't happen quite often in a sport like golf where there are large idle periods between 'action'.

Top 10 Most Shocking Mistakes in Sports. And by sports we mean.. American football
shit sport
Sucks that you see people just falling over each other, because football is such a complex and strategically played game. Every play is a quick game of chess. The pieces are set, moves are made, everyone plays a part. There are tricks, fakes, covers, blocks... even the clock is a HUGE factor, and how you work out minutes and seconds left to your favor, or manipulate the clock to work against the opponent. It appeases every sort of fan. Some love speed, catches, and violent hits. Others like to step back and analyze the play. It's not for everyone, I gotta admit, but it's definitely not shit.
@Jopom, maybe, but the point is that nobody except Americans will ever care to figure this shit out. American football has been invented exclusively by Americans for Americans. For a sport to be exciting, its not only about the sport itself, but about a rivalry between countries and/or clubs from around the world. So it's really hard to get involved if you're not American or at least u don't live in America. Also it's a sport that you cannot just go and play with your friends, you cannot associate yourself with it in any way.
@Maciej Good points, so I'm hoping it'll go national some day, but I doubt it. As for playing with friends, it's a lot of fun. My friends and family play it often, very casually of course. Its a simple abridged version, the downs don't move, so you can just use a back yard. Lets say 2 vs 2, my turn to throw, my partner and I turn away and I silently go over the play using the football as a field, "run straight down for 2 seconds turn left fake then right" while the other 2 decide who's covering me or my receiver. We hike, I hope the bastard listened to me, then I hope I make my throw. Sometimes tackle, most times just 2 hand touch, and there's simply a touch down line. Like downs we get 4 tries before the ball is handed over. If there's only 3 people, it's just simply a thrower, a catcher and the dude trying to stop you from catching, no points, just messing around. More than 3 v 3 then we do downs and try to play a game on a field, but not often I find that many interested, lol.
@@maciejkowalski2759 I'm not american and I really like American Football (Giants fan here). I think that the sport is gaining popularity around the world and even if it never beats the original football, i'll still watching it.
What about the time Ray Finkle missed the winning field goal in the Super Bowl?
laces out lol
Bartman shouldn’t be on this list honestly. The real mistake was the error Alex Gonzales made the next pitch
Biggest mistake was the Cubs collapse and the Cubs fans being crybabies
That Buckner play really scarred me .Saying that he was one of my favorites and I never blamed him for that loss.......even though it was technically his fault. lol
Correction, Bartman was hardly able to "walk" away. He had to change his life.
He didnt even reach into fair territory the ball was in the stands. Cubs fans suck
@@bobber0623 "Cubs fans suck" Oh, definitely! Chicago fans are some of the most unsportsmanlike and nasty fans in all of sports!
Yup. I'm glad they had to wait another 15 years after this. Fuck cubs fans.
"Is there anything worse than Jim Marshall running the wrong way?" Yes, yes there is... listening to your voice is like hearing sandpaper brush up against the buttox of a newborn water buffalo.
All joking aside, there is one thing that's worse than that: the general fan & media consensus that that one bad mistake is probably (and very unfairly) keeping Marshall out of the hall of fame with an otherwise very stellar career performance.
That was creative
You win the internet....
I remember #5. As a Tigers fan, I was rooting for Galarraga to make that perfect game. But when that umpire made the wrong call, BOY was I upset!
SulliMike241 I’m not even a tigers fan and I was pissed! To bad the baseball didn’t have the Challenge than.
Same, very sad day.
If Bill Buckner went to the Mets stadium he'd get another standing ovation.
As probably the only Mets fan left...it was shea stadium but you are absolutely correct!
Plus the Sox had won 2 championships since the play if not he would probably never been invited
Bartman didn't allow a double play grounder past Gonzo's legs
And didn't blow a lead and didn't lose game 7 for the Cubs

2:49 LMAO😂
Gallaraga should be given the perfect game because the right call would have ended it.
Exactly
As I recall, there was an appeal to change the result, but it was denied.
And it shouldn't have been denied, because the game was over at the point the error was made. Not like the Pine tar game.
By your logic, Game 6 of the 1985 World Series (and the Series win) should retroactively go to St. Louis because the same damn thing happened in that game.
@@skidawg22 Except St. Louis had a chance to recover in Game 7. This game just ended.
Escobar should be number one no matter how big of a Mets fan I am
Yeah. I mean, that own goal eliminated Colombia from the World Cup against hosts United States. And then he was murdered after returning to Colombia.
"Is there anything worse than watching Jim Marshall run the wrong way?"
Yeah, listening to you talk....jesus.
2:50 This guy is actually a robot from the future.
The worst is Joyce’s call ruining the perfect game. A PERFECT GAME. 😖
I feel better now. I've been kicking myself for a very very very stupid mistake I made while running 🏃♂️. I was winning and almost in the finish line when I started overthinking and run back and took another unnecessary lane. To this day I really don't understand why I sabotage myself like that. I knew I was wrong but an impulse took over me because I was overthinking and nervous. And that was a stupid teenager race between 3 schools with no importance. I cannot imagine how sport professionals must feel making a stupid mistake in a serious competition.

Good One. I hate pretentious Miami fans for just that game. Never happens in most other cities
I still don't understand why Baseball won't just give him the perfect game. "Well we don't want to go against the umpires". I understand that but this is the extremely rare case where ONLY history, and not the outcome of a game was severely impacted. It's not as if they went on to lose the game or the shutout even because of that extra out. Give the man his perfect game.
Sorry, it's not possible. Baseball can no more give him a perfect game than I can give you back your virginity.

I was one of the millions watch Mr. Galarraga’s stolen perfect game. He was so excited as he raced to first, certain (as the rest of us were) that he had beaten the runner. When Joyce called the runner safe, Galarraga gave a “you’ve got to be kidding” look. Most other pitchers would have thrown a tantrum. His grace, good sportsmanship (and the usually superb Joyce’s tearful realization of his blown call) made them both winners in my book. I can still see Miggie Cabrerra clutching his head in disbelief. It will always be the most vivid perfect game in my eyes.

totally forgot about Escobar, the most tragic thing is to be killed because of a game...
The soccer goal on a throw in you showed at 4:42 was a referee mistake, on top of the goalkeeper mistake. According to soccer rules, this is not a goal, but a corner kick. You can't score a goal directly from a throw in. If you do, it is either a corner kick (in case of an "own goal"), or a goal kick (in case of a "normal goal").
daedalron it touched Enkelmans boot so it was a legitimate goal, I think the referee even asked him if he’d touched it and the idiot said yes

Facts
What!? I'm not disagreeing with the fact that Bill Buckner's moment was bad but Escobar was killed because of his goal while Buckner was forgiven. That doesn't make any sense!!!
I'll make you a better list below. The biggest problem with this list is that the relative importance of the mistake. For example, Desean Jackson throwing the football in celebration is bad... but the Eagles still had the ball at the 1 yard line and scored a 1 yard rushing touchdown from Brian Westbrook. Even Jim Marshall's wrong way run against the 49ers was a game in the regular season. A list of "Most Shocking Mistakes" should be on important stages.
My personal list:
10. J.R. Smith's Game 1 mistake (2018 NBA Finals)
9. Gareth Southgate's penalty miss for England against Germany (Euro 1996)
8. The ball going through Bill Buckner's legs in the 1986 World Series Game 6
7. Steven Gerrard's slip against Chelsea (2014 Premier League)
6. Seattle Seahawks interception at the goal line in Super Bowl XLIX
5. Snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis' showboating which caused her to lose the Gold Medal in 2006
4. Steve Smith putting the puck in his own net against Calgary in the 1986 Stanley Cup Playoffs
3. Fred Merkle's baserunning mistake in the 1908 National League season which led to a game replay
2. Jean Van De Velde's triple Bogey in 1999 Open Championship
1. Roberto Baggio's penalty miss for Italy against Brazil (1994 World Cup)
how about J.R. Smith’s “i thought we was up” moment
6:29 When I saw it say "Steve Smith", I thought it was about cricket and got a bit confused seeing NHL
4:37 Well.. Karius got a concussion early in the game.. So that's why he played porly.. He shouldn't have been on the pitch.
shallowlord yeah totally
Sarcasm
"Ramos" "accident"
@@Rome_Leader HAHAHA... Ramos Mistake?
Here's one: NHL referee Kerry Fraser and his two linesmen completely "miss" an obvious high sticking infraction by Wayne Gretzky on Doug Gilmour in the overtime of game 6 of the 1993 Stanley Cup conference final between the Los Angeles Kings and the Toronto Maple Leafs. If the major penalty had been correctly called, Gretzky would have been booted from the game, as his high stick had cut Gilmour's chin. As Toronto was already up 3-2 in the series at the time, a five-minute man advantage with the sport's greatest star out of the game could easily have enabled the Leafs to win that match and, thus, the series and go on to the team's first finals appearance in 26 mostly painful years. The opponent would have been Montreal, and the Leafs' rivalry with the Canadiens just happens to be hockey's greatest and longest-standing. In short, there was a hell of a lot riding on the game, the overtime and whether this penalty would be called, both for the players and Toronto's long-suffering, rabid fans. Gretzky received no penalty and ended up scoring the overtime-winning goal in that game. He also scored a hat trick to help L.A. win game 7 and the Leafs have still yet to make the finals since. Even though it's now over 25 years since this happened, generations of fans in the hockey-mad city of Toronto still dwell on this non-call and its immediate and long-term effects. In the aftermath, Fraser admitted to missing the call.
For more information, ua-cam.com/video/6sQHanp5aoo/v-deo.html.
Haters keep your crap to yourself. I don't care if you don't agree with this one, if you dislike hockey or if you think this list was too pro-North American. If you don't like it, make your own video or contribute something more than a complaint riddled with spelling errors.
It's time to let it go. Why do I say that? Because there are more recent examples that cost other cities actual Stanley Cup wins. For example, the Flames in 2004 (I'm an Oilers fan, btw). Not only did Gelinas score a goal that was called back (because the officials "couldn't see" that it was clearly across the line), but St Louis also tripped Iginla - in the same game - just prior to scoring the official winner. Two blown calls against the Flames that 100% cost them the Cup as the Flames were up 3 games to 2 at the time. All the Fraser miss cost was a possible series win.
Also, why no mention of the 1978 Giants/Eagles matchup where Joe Pisarcik fumbled away an already sealed victory by trying to hand off to Larry Csonka, instead of just falling on the ball after the snap to run out the clock near the end of the game?
I think who atleast deserves an honorable mention is Oliver Kahn in the World Cup Final in 2002. He was the reason for why an average german national team with a few standout players reached the world cup final against Brazil, only for fumbling a straight up shot from Rivaldo that gave Ronaldo the chance for the 1-0. He still got the award for best player, but losing the world cup in that fashion is very frustrating.
You can go back and splice in that no-call in the Saints-Rams NFC Championship game.
What about Steven Gerrard's slip that cost them the league? Probably the most famous one.
M Sotoodeh not that much, slips happen often in many sports, & it wasn't like it was the only goal, & in a final
Kurt Sudheim Those slips in other sports don’t cause a team to choke a title race that they haven’t won in many years. Especially with Gerrard who is one of the best of all time.
Not American enough
@Kerry
Then how come Karius against Real Madrid in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final was present?
At 6:57 is wasn't the hockey stick. It was the goalie's left ice skate.
And Gretzky wrote about it in his memoars
8:53 Oh dear! I think a crime like that deserves more than 11 years in jail.

No Patrik Stefan's missed empty netter?
Yeah that definitely deserves to be on here since they're ranking by repercussions. It prevented the Oilers from drafting Patrick Kane!
Although that's a whole lot of ifs and buts, you can't tell me that's not a crazily cool scenario to think about.
John Terry penalty slip in the UEFA Champions League final vs Manchester United in 2008 and JR Smith's blunder in the 2018 game 1 finals
Was Desean Jackson’s mistake really worse than the cowboys mistake of not picking the ball up and running it back
You taking about in that same game? Where a Cowboy player did pick it up but officials already blew the play dead thinking it was a touchdown.
Yeah, ball was still LIVE as best I could see. Player could have gone back and tried to pick it up again, and tried to run it in for a TD again. What did they say, by Rule it was placed on the 1 yard line? Maybe refs blew the whistle though. What game was it, when something similar happened, and the refs DID NOT blow the whistle. Ball still LIVE. I think someone finally picked it up and ran it back the other way for a TD. I remember seeing the ref just standing there, looking at the ball, did not blow the whistle.
I remember a college game I think it was Stanford vs Oregon and a Oregon duck player drop the ball on the 1 yard and celebrated like he scored a TD and you see a line Judge squat and look at the ball and didn't give no TD signal and a Stanford player notice picked it up and ran the other way for a TD.
I dont understand why Bartman was treated so harshly, like 4 other people were reaching for the ball.
Bill buckner....my dad wouldn't even let me be friends with a kid named Bill after that game.... lol 🤣...
Number one should have gone to Ray Finkle.
LACES OUT!!!
No it shouldn't. Should've been Andres Escobar's own goal in the 1994 FIFA World Cup against the United States.
The Bill Buckner thing has never been fair. Mookie Wilson was one of fastest guys in baseball at the time and that ball took a weird hop there’s no question he would’ve beat that out if u look closely u could already see him 3/4 down the line the redsox would’ve lost if he made that play or not
How can a missed baseball through the legs be ranked 1 compared to someone who accidentally scored an own goal then was subsequently killed huh...? Only in America I guess....
Guess this just shows you fucking shouldn't talk about shit you have zero understanding about. Fucking jackass.
Nobody cares about another dirty savage killing another dirty savage in some assbackwards dirty country lol. All over a game 😂

If you want to go back as far as 1929, U. of California football player Roy Riegels picked up a Georgia Tech fumble and ran about 60 yards the wrong way in the Rose Bowl, leading to Georgia Tech scoring a touchdown and winning the game 8-7.
In 1964, when the Vikings' Jim Marshall made his wrong-way run, Riegels sent him a telegram which said: "Welcome to the club!"
