This entire week has been all about musician Kanye West's outburst during Taylor Swift's unexpected acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs.

Mr. West thought that Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video should have defeated Swift's "You Belong with Me" and made sure to tell everyone...after taking the mic out of Swift's hands in the middle of her acceptance.

The segment became one of the most talked about moments in MTV history. Heck, President Obama even made his feelings felt on West and the incident. For those who missed it, head to YouTube.

Anyway, I've decided to channel my egotistical, silly hairdo-having, paparazzi-hating rapper and see how Kanye can interrupt several spots in sports history.

Yo Zinedine Zidane, I know you delivered a heck of an unexpected attack on another person and I'm gonna let you finish, but Mike Tyson's chomping on Evander Holyfield's ear was a greater "WTF" moment.

Yo Goobledy Gooker, I know you were a horrible moment in WWF history and I'll let you finish, but the "Fingerpoke of Doom," David Arquette winning the World Title, the Shockmaster incident, the Yeti, hell, the last few years of WCW...those all trumped you in terms of horribleness in wrestling history!

Yo Detroit Lions, I know you guys went winless last season, eight straight losing seasons, and have won only once in your last 24 seasons, and I'll let you finish...Wait, forget that!
