Show-boating and excessive celebrations are a great part of pro sports. A well executed high-step into the endzone is a nice slap in the face to your opponent. Sometimes, however, an early celebration can backfire.

I’ve previously posted a nice list of awesome sports celebrations, but after this beauty from Craig Smith last week, I decided to put together a quick list of show-boating fails:

- Craig Smith tries to roof the puck into an empty net…. the puck ends up in the stands. As in over the mesh-netting behind the goal, and in.to.the.stands.

- The first show-boat fail that came to my mind is Desean Jackson, with not 1, but 2 beauties:

- Soccer goalie starts celebrating a bit too early:

- Cycling show-boat fail. This one is so painful to watch:

- Leon Lett in Superbowl XXVII. Vintage stuff:

- I previously posted about this one as well:

- And the ultimate in early-celebration fail – having the entire college band on the field before the game is over:
