Whether it was the infamous Dennis Green quote, "They are who we thought they were! And we let them off the hook!" or just a player running into the wall, athletes and coaches sure know how to keep us entertained and get us talking.

Here is my dedication to the top 10 funniest sports moments in sports.

10. Joe "Creeper" Namath

NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 25:  Football star Joe Namath yells to the crowd as he passes on a float in Times Square during the 78th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade November 25, 2004 in New York City. Thousands attended the parade which featured 15 giant ch

When a drunk Joe "the creeper" Namath hit on Suzy Kolber on Monday Night Football, it may have been the funniest thing I have ever seen. It was something I will never forget watching on ESPN.

9. Killing One Bird with One Ball?

MILWAUKEE - JUNE 03: Randy Johnson #51 of the Arizona Diamondbacks delivers a pitch against the Milwaukee Brewers on June 3, 2008 at Miller Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Brewers defeated the Diamondbacks 7-1. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)

When Randy Johnson hit a bird with a 95 mph fastball, I was surprised PETA wasn't releasing statements against Johnson and trying to sue him for animal cruelty. As much as it sucked for the little bird, this was pretty entertaining to watch.

8. THEY WERE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!!!!

ST. LOUIS, MO - DECEMBER 3:  Head coach Dennis Green of the Arizona Cardinals looks on as his team plays the St. Louis Rams at the Edward Jones Dome on December 3, 2006 in St. Louis, Missouri.  The Cardinals beat the Rams 34-20.  (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat

"THEY WERE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE! AND WE LET THEM OFF THE HOOK!" Me being a Bears fan, I of course thought this little angry rant by Denny Green was hilarious. After my Bears came back and won in a roller coaster of a game, Coach Green was livid!

7. Use Your Head

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA - JANUARY 26:  Former Major League Baseball player Jose Canseco poses at the launch party for Escada's newest scent, 'Pacific Paradise', at the Lobby on January 26, 2006 in West Hollywood, California. (Photo by David Livingston/Getty Im

Meat Head Canseco definitely used his head when he played in the outfield. When he was with the Rangers, he took a fly ball off the head and it ended up over the fence. The call was a home run. It was a simple fly ball that Canseco just misplayed.

6. F**CKING CUBS FANS!!!

ST.PETERSBURG, FL - MARCH 1:  Lee Elia #4 of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays poses for a portrait during Devil Rays Photo Day at the Raymond A. Naimoli Baseball Complex on March 1, 2005 in St. Petersburg , Fl. (Photo by Andy Lyons /Getty Images)

Wow was this funny! After a one run home loss to the Dodgers, manager, Lee Elia got mad at the Cubs fans for booing his players. Elia ended up getting fired at the end of the year. If you haven't heard this, youtube it. It is something else.

5. Playoffs?! Playoffs?!

Playoffs?! Playoffs?! Are you kidding me?! No Jim Mora. I'm not kidding you. Jim Mora's rant turned into one of the best as seen in the Coors Light commercials.

4. Don't Forget the Lyrics

MONTREAL - JANUARY 25:  General view during the National Anthem before the 2009 NHL All-Star game at the Bell Centre on January 25, 2009 in Montreal, Canada. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)

At an international hockey game of Canada vs. United States, the lady singing the national anthem forgot the lyrics. She went off the ice and when she came back on she slipped and fell. Youtube Girl HUMILIATES herself at Ice Hockey Game to see it. Very funny.

3. Oh What a Night!

Oh Bobby Knight. Bobby Knight had many temper tantrums through out his coaching career. His best one, of my opinion, is his "five year old like" temper tantrum when he threw the chair into the court. Oh the many faces of Bobby Knight.

2. I'M A MAN! I'M 40!

AUSTIN, TX - OCTOBER 25:  Head coach Mike Gundy of the Oklahoma State Cowboys during play against the Texas Longhorns at Texas Memorial Stadium on October 25, 2008 in Austin, Texas.  (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

The epic Mike Gundy press conference about the press trashing his players. This was hilarious! If you haven't seen it, please watch it. It is something else. "I'M A MAN! I'M 40!"

1. THE BAND IS ON THE FIELD!!!

21 Nov 1998:  Quarterback Justin Vedder #10 of the California Golden Bears in action against linebacker Donnie Spragan #2 of the Stanford Cardinal during the game at the Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, California. The Cardinal defeated the Golden Bears 10-3

"THE BAND IS ON THE FIELD!" The best known words in sports. If you don't know the meaning behind those, you might be living under a rock. In 1982, Cal pulled of a miracle in beating Stanford on a last second multi-lateral kick off return for a touch down. The best moment and fthe funniest moment in sports when the tuba player gets knocked over.
