Well #1 no doubt, it happens the rarest and seeing as im a HUGE Football fan, the others dont even come close.

[Play2win]

Hailmary by far, UNLESS, its Jordan on the other side of that Buzzer Beater.

[Clockwork Orange]

All of them.

Losing sucks whether it's by 1 point or 100.

[Tredici]

Puck in the net with only 3 ticks on the clock is horrendous.

[-Slap-]

The worst way to lose is when the referee finds a bag of money in his backyard the night before the game, like Red Cashion did the night before The Jacksonville Incident.

[ZachKC]

I think the worst way to lose is when your team doesn't show heart in during the span of the game. I think that is worse than being blown out, losing by one point, or losing in any heartbreaking manner. I remember feeling this way after a Chiefs game against Oakland in the rain. It was a freaking joke...there was no heart. That was a while ago, luckially we have taken 4 games since from them. But that stands out in my mind.

Other- Losing a soccer game on penalty kicks.

[NFLBRONCO]

Last 2 Indy playoff games

Witnessing Denver blow a 24-0 Raiders on Monday Night against Shanahan and the Raiders. I can't remember if that was Reeves or not.

The Michael Dean Perry incident in the Jacksonville Playoff was pretty infuriating, along with making Brunell look like Michael Vick.

The first SuperBowls were dissapointing, but I honestly think Denver was overmatched. Losing to an inferior team is what drives me bonkers.

Each and every loss to the raiders, no matter how it happens.

[SoDak Bronco]

Last second fieldgoals suck. When you are on the losing end.

[Macnut]

Losing a fumble/exchange in the red zone!

[GoHAM]

Give up a 4th down TD.
Drop a TD pass, get a field goal blocked.

[SoDak Bronco]

Oh i just remembered....... The BAAND is ON THE FIELLD ...Thee BAAND is ON THE FIELD....i still bet that pisses elway and any stanford fan off!!!That has to be one of the worst ways to lose a game!!! plus that loss will live on forever

That was going to be my "other" suggestion too, with a hail Mary coming in a close second, followed by a bump and run in racing.

Sounds like the Raider game last year

[DBroncos4life]

I think boxing would suck. You fight 15 rounds to have 3 people say who won. Even more so if everyone thought you won to begin with.

Or dinging what would be the game-tying goal in game 7 of the western conference finals off the right post with 3 ticks on the clock
is another horrendous way to lose.

My football team came close to losing by 100 during my sophomore year, lucky for us they started playing their freshmen in the 2nd half and only managed to beat us 92-0.

And you're right about losing sucks no matter what, I felt like just bruying my head in sand when I was walking down the halls of the school the following Monday.

[TheChamp247]

how about having your starting running back who just blew away a crappy chefs defense drop a hand off in the red zone to set up the game winning td?

[Taco John]

I would imagine the worst way to lose is to be forced to allow a blind runningback to score a stand up touchdown with 1:45 remaining so that you can preserve enough time to try an mount a return effort, only to fail.

It does suck to be on the losing end of a decision. No matter how badly you might have been beaten, you always think you won. That's because you remember the punches you land, but your adrenaline is pumping so hard you don't really feel the punches that hit you.

[Taco John]

Actually, I don't want to talk about the worst way to lose because it's starting to piss me off thinking about some of the terrible losses we've had the last few years.

Like the Miami "ball through the hands" debacle... Or the "abandon the run in overtime" travesty against San Diego... Or the "float a ball in the endzone to be picked off for a touchdown" blight we saw this past season... The "miracle field goal in the blinding snow" mishap of a few years back...

ugh...

That was bad, but what's actually worse about that game was that the Avs didn't bother to show up until about halfway through the 3rd period. They sleepwalked through the first 50 minutes of the game and were in a 3-0 hole before they finally played as if their season depended on it. They got it down to 3-2 and then the heartbreaking puck off the post.

The puck hitting the post was nowhere near as disappointing as their failure to play hard for 60 minutes.
