Wildest Endings in Sports | Plays that will Likely Never Happen Again 

Has the Tigers fan, I will always remember it as the imperfect game.

In canadian football, if you are the receiving team on a punt and you want to take the touchback (kneel in your own end zone), you have to give your opponent a point. Otherwise you can run it out. So instead of a touchback on a punt/field goal attempt, the kicking team can receive one point for kicking the ball into the opponent's end zone, or beyond the side or back lines, without the receiving team being able to bring it out. Basically if you drove downfield far enough that it's possible to do that, you get credit, unlike American football where you get punished with nothing and the opponent gets to take the ball out to the 25. So if you try a "coffin corner" punt but it trickles into the end zone and out of bounds, you really lost the field possession battle, but you get a point. This play is called a rouge. In this game the score was tied with a second left, so the team with the ball didn't care about the field goal, or about any good field position by their opponent, they just wanted to score a rouge for the win. The defender had his heels right in front of the back line and jumped and desperately kept the ball in play. Once that happens (and here's where things get WAY different than American football, but this is so crazy rare that you almost NEVER see it), on a field goal attempt, you have to KICK the ball out of your end zone. If the ball goes to the other team they can try to kick it again for the rouge. The kicking team's second attempt touched the receiving team, making it a live ball, which they fell on for a touchdown. I know. It's VERY different. But it actually makes sense in terms of what a team should be rewarded for and what they should not.

@@GoDolphins34 That's interesting, but there's no way that any team should receive a point for a missed field goal. Missing a field goal is a failure that should not be rewarded. Can a team just kick the ball out of or over the end zone without even trying for 3 points if all they need is 1 point to win? Or does the ball have to land in or touch the ground?

@@LWhite54 I disagree. In baseball, you can get a hit and score a teammate, and it still counts if you never get to score yourself. In football, Sometimes I drive 50 yards, but I'm still out of field goal range. Now I'm stuck. I have to punt gently to try not to avoid the touchback. Think about that -- I have to punt gently. If my offensive drive was less successful, I could punt with full force and the odds of driving you back are actually improved. I'm rewarded for being worse at offense. One point -- which isn't much in a sport where a touchdown is worth six -- is fair compensation for cashing in the field position you have gained. For saying "I did better than you because I drove to the edge of field goal range, whereas you took the ball at your own 25 and went three-and-out and didn't gain an inch." In the NFL, those two things are strangely equal; they weren't always, but they are now in a time when a good punter can kick the ball a mile and make your offensive ineptitude irrelevant. And to answer your question, I guess it has to touch something behind the end line, it's more about if you can jump and bat it back in play without touching the ground it hasn't been scored yet. That doesn't really happen, it almost always just scores or comes up short. The fact that the defender saved it in this video, and that saving it backfired spectacularly to the tune of a touchdown for his opponent, is what truly makes it noteworthy.

@@GoDolphins34 how do you know so much about Canadian football/a "rouge"

@@dutchlightyear5462 I enjoy the CFL. A lot of what the NFL does wrong, they do right.

I was waiting on that being number one from go....It was unbelievable, and I saw it happen.

@Lighthouse in the Storm I'd give that title to the '86 Mets, coming back to win game 6 of the World Series against Boston. I feel sorry for Bill Buckner getting all the blame, there were seven games and Boston lost four of them, including game 7, so Buckner was just part of the picture.

TommonSensePro as a lifetime Lions fan yes, yes it does.

The do but they also went 0-16 that year.

No they went 6-10 that year

The receiver's butt hit the ground, in bounds, in end zone. Play over, TD!! IDIOT REFS!!

@@kevinroylancephotography9437 that was 2008 I think. They went 6-10 in 2010

Oh yeah, forgot the Flute Boy. Go BC!! To Gerard Phelan.

I don't know about it being the greatest last play ever, but it should have been on the list.

Caleb Patterson ik

They didn't win it all. FSU beat them in the championship

@@hapaharley1706 to win the SEC west and the iron bowl

@@CalebBrunson13 yeah, that's not "it all"

Then the one from a 1950's Grand National (England), horse about to win then suddenly shoots his 4 legs out and does a belly flop on the ground before crossing finish line. No explanation.

Yeah, she pumped her fist, and in the process, tip the bike too forward which when it landed, cause her to flip over! If she kept both hands on the handel, it probably would've never happened!

haha right? I used to play safety on a hs team that would be up a lot (2 current NFL players on offense in a small 4a Utah division) and coach PREACHED this on those situations. I watched this and immediately though "well my HS coach fucking lied to me" haha.

Replacement refs getting the job done. I’m a Seahawks fan and I agree with you.

Tie goes to the offense. It was a good call

The Mets have spent 3 decades getting karma'd to death paying back the Bill Buckner debt.

or auburn-bama 2013

😭

One of the most painful things to see happen to a pitcher... i watched a different compilation today and that was on it. It reminded me how screwed up it was and that everybody knew it. It made me more mad bc after the Houston Astro’s cheating their way to winning the World Series , they lost nothing... even though they flat out cheated.. no real punishment... get to keep the rings and mvp and there was enough proof to know they cheated. But even though it’s so clear that it should have been called out that even the umpire publicly owned up to fucking that up... there’s no question that would have been the last out in a perfect game. With the Astros you could argue that we don’t know for sure if they still would have won that championship ... but gallaraga should have been awarded that perfect game... I know it wouldn’t have felt as good to get it that way... but he deserved it and took it like a champ should... it fires me up man

Actually not but it was very close still

Still waiting for one in a trillion

Yeah but actually the rule is, it is from where ball leaves hand of first guy to where 2nd guy catches it. If you watch replays from sideline, it looks like it may just barely be straight across.

Straight up bs. It was a forward pass then, it’s a forward pass now. And I also dgaf about either team.

To be fair there have been many great Bathurst 1000 finishes

Don’t think creators care bc they get paid for the ads whether you buy the product or not lol

Same thing happened to a US female snowboarder. I think Lyndsey Jacobelis. Showed off coming over the last jump w/ a huge lead, crashed, got silver.

Terrible editing.

Oh, they should have the one where pitcher pitches the ball and a bird flies right in front, gets hit by the ball and gets pulverized!! GROSS!! As they always say ... "The hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a round ball with a round bat off a major league pitcher". Now add ... "To fly in front of a major league pitch".

Wasn't there one when a squirrel came on the field and stole the ball?

Boise St. vs O(ref)U was priceless. I still smile every time I see it.

But we still won

But you didn’t win the super bowl because you didn’t run the ball

@@jackgardner6050 but we won a super bowl

@@metaloreo8423 yeah, cause you got a bad call in the Championship

@@harpsealgaming11-hypixelan93 I know

DOING!!!!

The Mets were down to their last out of the world series. Gibson's homer was in game one. Both cool moments, but situationally incomparable.

The Minneapolis Miracle was just a catch a run the Miami Miracle was a multiple lateral play those are so much rarer not to take away from the Vikings amazing play but it wasn't as impressive.

Sutonpu Boruto yeah I suppose optically it looked better but for what was at stake in the playoff game I feel like it should have made it. Alongside Miami

@@rickevans8055 Yeah I guess but it was for every sport so they probably didn't think too much into each sport any number of things is likely but I don't disagree that it probably should've been in here.

I’m a hardcore Indians fan and even I feel sick watching that!

I scrolled through the comments hoping someone brought this up. At least in the teens.

I like that one too lol

He even said it was a play they rehearsed during the week. It saw it develop and played it as rehearsed.

In the CFL the goal posts are on the end line. The ball is live off a FG if the FG is missed and in-bounds. A single point can be conceded by the receiving team in that case. In this game, the receiving team couldn't afford to give up the point as they were tied and they couldn't run it out, so they kicked it out. And the ball was still live. The offence could have run it back in for a TD, but they were not able, so the ball was kicked back into the end-zone, hoping to force the defence to concede the single. The offence gained control of the ball in the end-zone, so it was a TD.

Yes it does. He never should have been there, he was injured.

RIP Dan Weldon

I don't blame her though, even if she did bring it on herself.
