In an intramural basketball game at the IMA a player on the other team stripped the ball from me late in the second half of a close game, it was probably closer than it should have been because I was playing like shit. Gilby hadnāt happened yet so I was still super competitive and very uncomfortable with losing. I chased him down and basically tackled him, though at the time I remember thinking it was a clean play. The ensuing impact ended up separating my right shoulder and got me kicked out of the game for a flagrant foul. I spent several weeks in a shoulder immobilizer. My team performed much better in my absence and eventually won the game.
I was lobbing a Molotov cocktail once & I soapdish-fumbled it right behind me. Managed to get away from with nothing more than some singed ass hairs. Never been able to live that one down.
Can't think of anything particularly embarassing from playing team sports, but for reasons I won't get into I entered a triathlon in my late teens that I barely trained for.I really had no business being in one, and the swimming portion was a huge embarassment in itself, but I did well enough in the cycling and running portions that it wouldn't have been a complete and total embarassment.Except for some reason the finish line was at the top of a pretty steep hill, and I had given everything I had trying to make up for the time I lost in the swimming portion. I still decided to full sprint, to the extent that I could, up that final hill to get it over with.As I got to the top I suddenly felt an intense cramp in both legs simultaneously, which caused me to fall over immediately as if I'd been shot, letting out a loud-pitched scream, and literally rolling over the finish line in front of a small crowd of people.Took a few seconds for people to realize what had happened and start laughing at my expense, while I had to wait for the cramp to recede enough that I could actually manage to stand up and slink away to hide my shame.
A couple of years ago at a CrossFit competition I failed to clean 260lbs. Little did I know, I only needed to hit 255 to get 3rd in that event. (Max clean and 2 front squats) I didnāt need to make the jump from 250 to 260. It was humiliating. Iāll never forget that one, thatās for sure.

I try to post stories and little vignettes that I think people here would find entertaining and amusing. I work hard at it. I really do. Iām out here working my tail off. Then I get this crap. It really takes the wind out of my sails, to be quite honest.
