The 5 Funniest Moments in Sports (with video!)

1 of 7

19 Sep 1996: The 'Famous Chicken' of the San Diego Padres pleads with the umpire from the stands after making a call behind the plate during a play in the Padres 7-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, California. Mandat

In the history of sports, there have been some hilarious moments.

The interviews, the fights, and the just plain unexpected when live animals or Terrell Owen's are involved. I'm sure I've left out some highlights, that could be included, but here are some that to come to my mind, that just missed the list.

Anything Leon Lett did with the Dallas Cowboys.

Jim Mora's "playoff" interview.

Dennis Green's "they were who we thought they were" interview.

George Brett's Pine Tar incident. Did he go berserk or what?

Terrell Owens pulling out the pen in the goal post, autographing the football, and throwing it up in the stands.

and back when the NFL would have some fun in the early 80s

The Washington Redskin's funbunch touchdown celebrations, and

The New York Jets Mark Gastineau's sack dances. Those were something to see.

Let's take a look at the top five of all time.

1. We Talkin 'Bout Practice!

MILWAUKEE - FEBRUARY 07: Allen Iverson #1 of the Detroit Pistons walks back to the bench during a game against the Milwaukee Bucks on February 7, 2009 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Pistons defeated the Bucks 126-121 in overtime. NOTE

In what is the greatest interview I've ever seen, Allen Iverson addressed the age-old question...does practice make perfect?

Hysterical!

2. When Mascots Attack!

I remember watching this game, when UGA the Georgia Bulldog mascot took offense to Auburn receiver Robert Baker scoring a TD.

I laughed myself silly over this one.

3. Seagull Seals Golf Ball

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL - MAY 11: Paul Goydos plays his tee shot on the 17th hole during the final round of THE PLAYERS Championship on THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on May 11, 2008 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Gett

The 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, always provides great moments, but on this day for golfer Steve Lowery, and a seagull stole the show and his golf ball.

4. Don't Mess With Nolan Ryan!

Robin Ventura messed with the wrong hombre, when he went after 46-year-old Nolan Ryan. Think of a 20 something year old going after your Dad, and getting whooped up on.

I was rolling when I first saw this.

5. Barney and the Chicken Rumble!

How can a list of funny moments in sports exist without the San Diego Chicken? Barney didn't know what hit him.
