Butter Fingered Broken Trophies

Here’s a funny compilation of klutzy athletes.  Had a hard time finding them.  If you know any more, paste a link!  By far, the best one is Pete Weber!  Long clip, so you might want to skip to the end.  If only I saw this live!

Just minutes after the horn sounded, giving SBHS their first-ever basketball title, their first-ever CCS basketball trophy broke.

“Everyone huddled up and then we split,” said post player Lauren Ademek, “and somehow it just broke in the process.”

It was the type of story that spread like a rumor through the droves of parents and fans that stood in the player’s tunnel, all awaiting for the Lady ‘Balers to emerge with their so-called crippled hardware.

Florida’s football team last week suffered an accident with its BCS championship trophy from the 2006 national title. University officials confirmed that the Waterford crystal trophy was knocked off its pedestal and destroyed.

It may remain a mystery who actually destroyed the crystal football, which shattered after hitting the ground outside head coach Urban Meyer’s office. Florida has already contacted the company in Kentucky that makes the base of the trophy and imports the crystal from Ireland for a replacement.

The crystal ball trophy being completely obliterated was hilarious.That thing just looks so fragile. Not the smartest design/material for a trophy that gets thrown around and lifted up by everyone.
