Fumbles are always embarrassing, but few have ever been as bad as this one by Ronald Flemons of the CFL's Toronto Argonauts:
How long before images of Leon Lett flashed into your head?
Our friends at 55-Yard Line in Canada debated how the Flemons fumble compared to Lett's infamous Super Bowl blunder and we agree that putting aside the stage, the moment and the fact that this play took place in the CFL, Flemons' error was worse. Lett's play was the result of foolishness, arrogance and Don Beebe. The one in the CFL was just plain ol' incompetence.
Although, in his defense, Flemons may have been trying to complete the play by showing the ball to the officials.
