Your most embarrassing sports or life moment

Mine was in high school. We were playing Hickory HS and a playoff spot was on the line. Probably 6 thousand people in attendance. Hickory had a crappy field then and when we ran out on the field they had a sprinkler head that was sticking up about 3 inches out of the ground. I was like the 3rd or forth guy leading the team out and I tripped on it and took out about 1/4 of our team.

I thank God there were no camera phones then or youtube....

Not a specific moment per se, but I remember getting one-hit flatbacked multiple times, and on film they just looked like I was master of incompetence. One time specifically, a guy hit me so hard that I *literally* was in the air for about four or five feet. Very disconcerting feeling. However, that one was near the end of the play so I blame him from being dirty rather than me not keeping my head on a swivel lol.

when I made my college debut, coach sent me in to essentially do whatever I could to get the other team's big man to foul out. So I played him real hard and within seconds of entering the game, he fouled me hard.

Playing highschool ball at a real small school...getting up to the line to shoot free throws at the college level was a little different...I air balled the first shot like a 7 year old girl!!! I was rather embarrased for sure. Missed the 2nd shot too, but it hit the board/rim

Back when I was 12 I had a severe crush on this one girl. I had crush on her since I was 8. One day she invited me to hangout with her group of friends, I was so excited! It was snowing really hard that day and that girl and I decied to wrestle in the snow. It was very romantic and being 12 I tho there was this moment when I will ask her out. Then I felt something wet in my head, not snow wet but like warm wet. The girl of my dreams stop wrestling with me and said "you got poop all over your head". Apparently dog took a poo in this snow earlier and heavy snow covered it up. Everyone in her group was laughting their asses off at me. I had to walk 6 miles back home covered in poo. Good times.

Was playing strong safety during a HS game and had a flat-to-force zone during a pass play. The QB was flushed to my side and started scrambling, and I flowed with him and moved forward to be ready to close if he ran. A receiver ran behind me, so I turned my head to check him, and when I turned my head back around the ball smacked me right in the facemask... QB had thrown an awful pass that would have been the easiest pick-6 ever. The stadium was packed and I remember hearing laughter, and even the in-game announcer said, "That pass was, ummm, defended by #46..." All in all it was pretty funny.

I'll do a worst sports moment too.

Last year at boxing I was sparring, and our gym is in the ghetto so I box with a bunch of huge black guys. Anyways, I was sparring a 14 year old kid who was in like 8th grade. Granted, this kid was a giant for his age, but he beat the sh*t out of me. Knocked the wind out of me like 3 times, beat my face in. Two minutes in, I had NO energy left at all and I was just pawing at him aimlessly while getting destroyed.

Pretty damn embarrassing.

JV Baseball my freshmen year, down 1, bases loaded and I come up to bat. 2 outs of course. I crushed the ball about 5 feet, slow dribbler and fell coming out of the box. I'm slow anyway, but by the time I collect myself to get up the pitcher has already gotten in front of me and tags me out. Looooooong bus ride home.

My Sr. year in HS I played left field on our Varsity Baseball team... batted .300 for the season and was MVP of the Spring tournament... we won our conference and got to the state playoffs... first playoff game, first inning, first batter hits a fly ball directly at me and I immediately misjudged it and took about 4 steps forward before I realized my mistake. I start going back and trip and flail at catching the ball and miss it. The guy ends up on third... and we lost the game like 10-1. It was a horrible day and that was my last ever high school baseballI game. :(

    • Keep my wife’s name out your mouth!
    • Yeah I'm not into college as much, so I admit not to having my own opinion about him coming out. But strictly watching ESPN shows, and going off of commentary at the time..It was a lot more 50/50 even on this board than what people like to remember and admit.  Yes many people had doubts and questions, but MANY people also thought he could possibly be the one. I was only versed enough to know that it was between he and CJ, but most pundits made it sound like either way we had a QB of the future, just different skillsets/traits.
    • Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys Cowboys receive: WR Jonathan Mingo, 2025 seventh-round pick Panthers receive: 2025 fourth-round pick  Dallas Cowboys: C Leave it to Jerry Jones to wait until after Dak Prescott is injured to go after another receiver. To be fair, the Dallas Cowboys have a real need for the position. CeeDee Lamb is a superstar, but Jalen Tolbert and Brandin Cooks haven't been the needle movers that the Cowboys were hoping for. Making a trade for a receiver wasn't a bad move, but the player that the Cowboys gave up three rounds of value to acquire is questionable. Jonathan Mingo checked a lot of physical and athletic boxes as the 40th-overall pick in 2023. Unfortunately, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound wideout has struggled to be a productive receiver at the NFL level. Some of that has to do with playing for the Carolina Panthers, but Mingo has seriously lacked efficiency at the position. Mingo has yet to record his first NFL touchdown, catching 55 passes for 539 yards. Per TruMedia, he has just 0.74 yards per route run in his career, which ranks 177th out of 186 receivers with at least 50 targets since the start of the 2023 season.Even though Mingo fills a need, that's a lot of value to give up for a receiver that's struggled so much at the NFL level. The good news is that he still has a couple more years on his rookie deal, so at least the Cowboys are getting a cheap developmental project to learn from a star like Lamb. Carolina Panthers: A Instead of trying to hold onto Mingo, the Panthers took what they could get, and that turned out to be way more than expected. Mingo quickly became expendable thanks to the rapid ascension of rookie receiver Xavier Legette. Along with a larger-than-life personality, Legette has hauled in 26 catches for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Three of those touchdowns have come in the last four games, with Legette becoming more and more of a focal point in Carolina's offense. For a team that needs to capitalize as much as possible on draft assets, moving up three rounds in the draft to move on from a disappointing draft pick feels like an absolute win. https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-trade-deadline-2024-grading-every-move/
