2010: Fail?

Fans of all things, primarily sports, love failures. Whether its memorable late season collapses of the NY Mets, the term "bust" as in Jamarcus "oh, codeine is illegal?" Russel, or the dismantling of Brett Favre's body, people find true enjoyment in watching other people fail.

So, as we wrap up the last few days of this fine year, let's take a look at the top 3 memorable failures from 2010, and there were a lot. If we're  missing any, please shoot us a line through the comment box.


1. Cleveland. Sure, fat boy Drew Carey made the tag line "Cleveland Rocks," but who ever believed that? Well, they did have "The King" in their court for seven years. Cavaliers fans thought that they were ready to take on a world championship. They were just a few pieces short of a dynasty. So, when his contract expired, all the fans "knew" that LBJ23 was going to be a Cav for life. What happened? He took his talents to South Beach. On top of his talents, he took every bit of hope out of the fans hearts. Cleveland: failure.

2. Brett Favre's junk. Sexting became a hot topic this year. No one became more famous for it than Brett "am I dead yet" Favre. He decided, back in 2008 when he ruined the Jets season, that it would be a good idea to send to Jen Sterger, Jet's assistant, a photo of his man junk (while wearing crocs). Result? Well, she didn't like it. She reported it to the NFL and the guy is now in hot water. Aside from breaking every bone in his body, Favre is now on the verge of legal punishment and losing his family. Poor old guy.

3. Tiger Woods. Guy went from the top of the world in every facet; highest paid male athlete, best golfer, most marketable athlete, and just an all around great guy. BOOM. The truth comes out in the form of a nine iron to the skull. His snow bunny Swiss wife had enough. One affair, eh? Two, eh? Sixteen? Holy shit man, things are reallly bad. He checked into rehab for sex addiction, lost his family, settled for about 100mil through the divorce, and now can barely make the tour. For the first time in his career he didn't even win a major. Guy had problems even qualifying. Don't bring your personal life to the office, Tyguh.

Honorable Mention:
-Cam Newton winning the Heisman although his dad got caught for trying to generate chedduh while pimping out his son.
-Ken Griffey Jr, coming out of retirement, to only retire again after his teammates reported him sleeping in the clubhouse when his number was called to pinch hit
- Jayson Werth. Money can't buy you happiness, and playing for the Nationals can't either
- New Delhi Commonewealth Games. If you haven't already read about the treacherous preparations and disgusting plumbing issues, I will spare you
