As we bid farewell to January, we also say goodbye to the usual NFL action every weekend. However, with the Super Bowl on Sunday, we only have one more chance to see some more over-the-top emotional displays from Ray Lewis and Jim Harbaugh, hopefully similar to the ones they exhibited all of last month. Not to be outdone, the NBA featured LeBron James hugtackling a fan and soccer had a player kicking a ball boy. So, click away to check out all the wild plays and memorable moments in The Best Sports GIFs of January 2013.
