As you know, some of the biggest fails come on the weekends. Like that late-night drunk text to your ex or the ill-fated hook-up with what seemed like a dime but was more like a nickel with some cankles the morning after. Uhh...not that we've had such experiences. Anyway, the sports world is especially susecptible to fails since most of the action goes down on the weekends. Checking out a highlight play is great and all, but who doesn't like to watch an epic blunder here and there? So, with the start of another hectic workweek upon us, why don't we add some humor to your mundane Monday with some of the funniest slip-ups to be caught on video during this past couple of days. Here are The 5 Biggest Sports Fails of the Weekend...

You already know that we love cheerleaders. But having these poor girls on ice just seems like a fail waiting to happen. In this clip, you would think that the girls holding the flags would be the ones to take a fall, but like a good twist at the end of a movie, the chick you least expected to take a dive eats it. And leave it to Good Day New York's Greg Kelly to point it out. Stay classy, Greg.

4. So Wait, Who Has Possession?

Down by 18 points in the third quarter, the Tennessee Titans tried to surprise the Pittsburgh Steelers with an onside kick. And as usual, a pile of players converged on the loose ball and the referees needed to peel bodies off before making the right call. But unlike the typical fumble recovery routine, two refs made completely different calls. SMH, leave it to the zebras to screw this one up. A biggest NFL referee fails list is on deck...

3. Tailgating Gone Bad

There's nothing like drinking too much and coming up with some of the most bizarre games known to man. Here's an example of real bad harebrained idea where two guys ram their heads into a car and see who comes out standing. Sounds fun, right? Just wait till you down a couple of drinks, you'll think this is genius. Shit like this happens when your squad is 1-4...

2. Scoring Goas Isn't Easy for the USMNT

This past week, the U.S. Men's Soccer National Team beat Honduras 1-0. But what you may not have seen was the moment when midfielder Brek Shea slipped when attempting an easy scoring attempt. Hope Solo & Co. >>> than these clowns. #justsayin'

Sharyland's linebacker coach could've picked from a slew of the other great sports celebrations, but nope, dude opted to go with the full-on "Suck It" gesture, made famous by WWE's Degeneration X. We're not labelling this one a fail for the taunt, we just think he could have been a little more discreet with it since it was still noticed in the mass of other players and coaches. Wanna know one of quickest ways to be demoted from assistant coach to water boy? You're looking at it, fam.
