* Zinedine Zidane's headbutting of Marco Materazzi during the 2006 FIFAWorldCup final. On top of being his last match, said match was being televised around the planet (it is, after all, the '''World''' Cup). Rather than being remembered as a great [[strike:soccer]] football player, [[NeverLiveITDown he's now commonly associated with that incident]]; if you go to Google Images and look up "zidane," what's the first result you get?

* Cigar Guy. For those not in the know, Tiger Woods at one point lobbed a shot right into a photographer's face (thankfully saved by an unfortunate camera). While the image of a blurry ball about to smack someone in the noggin is hilarious, photoshoppers worldwide focused in on a strange looking fellow who to all appearances was grinning ear to ear behind a ridiculous combination of PornStache, Cigar, and Turban.

** Before, you simply announced that you were leaving a team. Nowadays, it's all about "taking your talents to" a different team.

* Not sure if this should go here or not, but recently the Boise State University/University of Idaho sports rivalry flared up a bit more than usual when the BSU president, in a newspaper interview, referred to U of I fans as "nasty" and "inebriated". Since then, "nasty and inebriated" has become something of a meme -- apparently it's even being put on T-shirts.
