It's hard to limit this list to just 10, but I'm gonna give a try. I went old school on a lot of these moments. But hey those are usually the best ones. Also included are some hilarious sports movie and TV show moments.

This list is sure to knock your socks off!

10. Leon Lett - Thanksgiving Bumble vs. Dolphins
9. Milton Bradley – Tears ACL while arguing a call
8. Shaq Breaks the Backboard
7. Namath’s slurred, drunken pick up lines during interview with Suzy Kolber
6. Ricky Bobby is on fire!
5. Peyton Manning on SNL… United Way skit
4. Nolan Ryan beats the crap out of Robin Ventura
3. Happy Gilmore – The price is wrong, Bob!
2. Jose Canseco – HR off his head
1. Philip Wellman – Mississippi Braves argument in Chattanooga

Let me know what you think!

10. Leon Lett's 1993 Thanksgiving Bumble

Thanksgiving Day, 1993. Miami Dolphins at snowy Texas Stadium taking on America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas is up 14-13 and has just blocked the Dolphins go-ahead Field Goal attempt with less than a minute to play.

When for some reason this monstrosity of a man, Leon Lett comes through and tries to pick up the ball! He slips on the snow and fumbles it away. Miami recovered the ball at the Dallas one-yard line and kicked the game winning Field Goal moments later.

Check it out here...

What were you thinkin' Leon?

9. Milton Bradley Tears ACL While Arguing Call

The always-inflamed Milton Bradley has had his share of highlight moments. This is one he'd rather forget. While arguing a safe-out call ar first base he gets a tad emotional (As he is prone to do), and literally tears his ACL during the argument.

Of course, his own manager throwing him to the ground is what actually caused the injury...But still. What makes it worse is that San Diego was in the middle of a playoff race and had just traded for Bradley to help out their offense. Hope they didn't give up much for him.

8. Shaq Breaks the Backboard

Boy does this bring back lots of memories!

You gotta see this for yourself...

Shaq brings down the goal

7. Joe Namath is a Little...Um...Tipsy...

Even the legends enjoy a little sip every now and then. This interview landed Broadway Joe in rehab.

Joe knows how to treat the ladies

6. Ricky Bobby Thinks He's Enfuego...or something like that

JOLIET, IL - JULY 07:  Will Farrell speaks during a press junket promoting his new film 'Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby' before practice for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series USG Sheetrock 400 on July 7, 2006 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill

I know it's from a movie, but I was told that movies could be included. So here. One of the more side-splitting parts of the otherwise stupidly hilarious movie.

Ricky Bobby is Enfuego

5. Peyton Manning on SNL - United Way skit

Who knew Peyton could be funny? I sure didn't. And when this skit aired I almost cried from the hilarity. Check it out!

Peyton gives back to the community

4. Old Man Nolan Ryan beats the crap out of youngster Robin Ventura

The Living Legend vs. the Kid. When Robin Ventura took exception to a bean ball he probably didn't know what he was getting himself into. One of the greatest brawls of all time!

3. Happy Gilmore - The Price is Wrong, BOB!

Another movie clip... It doesn't get much better than Happy and Bob Barker kicking each others butt. Forgive the language in the clip.

Bob Barker vs. Happy Gilmore

2. Jose Canseco's HR assist

Classic... That's all I can say.

1. Mississippi Braves Manager Phillip Wellman's Goes Crazy in Chattanooga, TN

Maybe it's because this happened in my hometown. Maybe it's because this is the Braves Double A affiliate. No. It's most certainly because of the craziness of this theatrical performance. Please watch all of it. You'll be laughing your head off!

Wellman goes nuts!
