The 10 Sorriest Excuses for Sports

worst sports of all time double luge

Nothing captivates a man’s attention quite like people throwing their bodies around in sweat-inducing fashion to win something. Doesn’t matter if we’re sitting across from the hottest girl in the bar—if there’s Division III women’s water polo playing on a screen behind her, we’ll have trouble maintaining eye contact. But not every endeavor calling itself a sport is worthy of that label—and the media exposure, fan admiration, and potential glory that come with it. Telltale signs? The activity’s top competitors are nutjobs, pantywaists, or schlubs. It’s a hyped-up version of something kids play in the backyard. And there’s no way to participate in it without looking absolutely ridiculous. That’s why the following 10 “sports” need to be taken behind the woodshed and beaten to a pulp by some real, actual jocks.

5 Biggest Gambling Losers Of All Time

Archie Karas ($40 Million)

Archie ‘The Greek’ Karas will go down in history as one of the most famous gamblers and poker players ever. He holds the title for the longest documented winning streak in gambling history. From 1992 to 1995 and starting with only $50 to his name, he managed to turn that paltry sum into a fortune of 40 million. But this wasn’t enough and rather then quit while he was ahead, he wanted more.

The Greek lost nearly his entire $40 million bankroll within a couple of months. The losing streak started with a 3-week period in which Archie lost $30 million at the Binions Horseshoe casino. First, he lost $11 million at the dice table. Frustrated and disappointed of his mistake that he did not stop after the first $3-4 million, Archie returned to the casino on the next day, this time to play high-stakes baccarat. Again, he convinced the casino management to raise the limits just for him to $300,000 per bet. Within ten days, the Greek lost 17,000,000 in baccarat.

12 Most WTF TV Series Finales

'Dinosaurs' width=

Dinosaurs

In the series finale, all hope of an episode of reminiscing about the humor that made the series a hit was stripped away – as viewers got to watch Earl Sinclair bring about the end of the Dinosaurs by poisoning the world’s plant life and subsequently blocking out the sun. The result of which was global temperatures dropping well below freezing and the imminent extinction of every living thing on the planet.

While every adult watching knew what was happening, their children may have been somewhat oblivious. Luckily, the writers made time in the finale’s last moments to bring everyone in the know as Earl has to explain to Baby Sinclair how there’s no place for them to go and that he’s sorry for killing them all.

This episode was so WTF that TV Guide had to include a special warning that the subject matter in this episode might “frighten or disturb younger viewers.” You know, because children aren’t really used to watching their favorite characters – who were marketed to kids in the form of music videos and stuffed animals – dying a slow death.
