For the basketball one: There actually is there a rule that prevents you from scoring on your own basket intentionally. So the guy tried to make it look like he smoked the rebound and tipped it hoping the ref would give it to him. He missed anyways but I think the refs would have called him out on it
thats... weird im not saying the rule should or shouldnt exist... but the mechanics of the sport are ball in basket... it shouldnt matter too much how it got in. but who knows.
@@vissermatt1058it is not uncommon for sports to make exceptions for blatantly unsportsmanlike plays. For example, in the 1954 Cotton Bowl, an Alabama player came off the sideline to tackle Rice's Dickey Moegle who had a clear path to the end zone. They gave him the TD, anyway. Deliberately scoring on one own basket to manipulate tiebreaker rules qualifies as less true to the spirit of the game than allowing it would. I believe in high school basketball in the US, this would count, but they don't usually have tiebreakers like that.
Back in middle school basketball I forgot which way my team was shooting at, so after a baseline inbounds pass I shot the open layup at the close hoop (not the one I should be shooting at). I ended up missing the layup, and my opponents got the rebound and started heading downcourt for a transition (which was the WRONG way). The ref was the only one who wasn't confused, and he called a backcourt violation on my opponents as they crossed half court heading towards their own hoop. Everyone was so confused. All started by me. What a sequence.
If it happened today, someone would have video of it. You'd end up on The Weekly Dumb, Jomboy would zoom in on your face and make up some inner voice monologue for you.
In high school football I was playing linebacker due to a bunch of injuries (I was usually a tight end) and thought I saw an opportunity to bait the QB into throwing to their TE and grab a pick. It worked perfectly and I jumped the route and made the pick. Only problem is I thought I was running the wrong way (I wasn't) so I spun to run the other way but got tackled so it looked like I was just trying to do a spin move and got tackled. That tackle saved me a lot of embarrassment and a game ball.
I played in a juco game where after the tipoff the other team quickly and intentionally set up their defense on the opposite side of the basket they were defending. We won the tip to a player in our backcourt, and our player was confused. All kinds of yelling was going on as our player proceeded to start the offense the wrong way, falling for the trick. Finally the ball got to a teammate that knew what was going on and he started toward the other basket but got called for 10 second violation just before he crossed half court.
I just came here to say pretty much the same thing 😂 Never heard of it, but it looks like a mix of rugby, lacrosse, field hockey and it looks like soccer offensive build up. Throw in that baseball swing and you've got a REAL sport here!
Hurling is amazing. I was in Ireland on holiday a long time ago, right at the time of the championships. I happened to be in Kilkenny on the day they won the finals that year, and we watched the game at a pub with the locals. It was pretty wild. Been a fan of the game since then. 🤣
The hurling final happened earlier today - it went to extra time (overtime) and there was only 1 point between the teams in the final score but it was arguably one of the best finals ever.
The Frontier League! I was the PA Announcer for the ("controversial") London Rippers for the half a season they played in the league before they folded, so I always love seeing the league featured in things like this.
I remember seeing Irish Hurling on ABC's Wide World of Sports back in the '70s. I thought it was so cool, and wished that I could see it at least as easy as I could watch baseball in that time.
Wow, I've never even heard of hurling. Looks cool. This channel is also how I discovered Australian Football, which I immediately found way more interesting than American Football.
Two more amazing feats this year if you want to cover more hurling, Cork vs Clare in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling final was one of the greatest matches of all time and in the All-Ireland Minor Hurling final Tipperary recover from being two men down to come back and win in extra time.
That Korean coach looked absolutely amazing! Kinda fishing for the justification. The question of course is; did he do the kim il sung look? No offense meant here, just a first thought from watching this super funny bunt round the bases! Cheerio
I'm really enjoying all the cricket that's been on the channel. It was fun to hear you commenting live on a Major League Cricket match, I'm hoping they'll have you do that again.
Insane diving catch to recover it. Also cool to see Georgia having a good week in sport. Their national rugby team beat Japan last week and this weekend they put on an unexpected great showing against Australia even if they did lose.
We need a Jomboy breakdown of Canada vs Netherlands 2024 WBSC women's softball world cup. Canada hit a 3 run bomb to tie the game & then hit a walk off grand slam.
I did a home run on a bunt when I was 17 years old in a summer high school league in the summer of 1972. I wasn't a starter but I got the call to come in and bat with a teammate on third. I got the bunt sign and missed the first pitch. Coach calls time, talks to me to calm me down. Next pitch I laid down the most beautiful bunt down the 3rd base line you've ever seen and I go as fast as I can to first. I see the ball fly over the first baseman's head and I keep going, round second and head for third. As I slide into third I see the ball skitter on the ground past the third baseman and I jump up and head for home (my coach is yelling at me to hold...no way, I'm gone). As I approach home the catcher is standing a few feet in front of the plate. I see him catch the ball but I don't slide, I run in standing up and he misses me as he swings his arm around to make the tag. So that's my home run on a bunt. Technically there's probably a couple of errors included but I don't care. I made it around the bases on one play. Good memory. I then go out to right field and eventually I make the catch on a fly ball to finish the game and we win. I'd love to do that over again.
Single on the bunt to third, error on third for the errant throw to first, error on the throw to third, one unearned run scored and you should be credited with a single.
@@inter_1097 Me too, the bat flips were exciting to see. I also went to a game in Korea, the environment was insane and the fans were singing the whole time
The problem with Georgia and trying to score on his own basket was that they are not allowed to score on their own basket on purpose per FIBA rules (16.2.3), so it had to look like a slip.
Hurling has a very old history believed to date back some 3000 years. MarnGrook is an Australian Indigenous peoples game and their culture dates back around 60,000 years. Aussie Rules probably emaneted from this game. Interestingly, Hurling, Gaelic Football and Aussie Rules are amongst the few sports where a player actually scores points or missing the goal.
Aussie Rules and Irish Gaelic Football play a combined series every year or two. They play to combined rules in what is called International Rules. Several Irish players are contracted to the huge AFL teams .
Not a robbed home run. Just robbed us of a hit in the bottom of the 8th. The right field wall at Target field is a tall wall with an overhang of seats. I was at the game. Great game, Jose Miranda gets his 10th consecutive hit to tie the Twins franchise record (got #12 to tie the MLB record the following day). Twins go on a 7 run rally with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, including a Carlos Correa grand slam off of Josh Hader, to nearly come back and win the game. It was an awesome game to watch.
The best part I haven't seen anyone mention is how the Georgia player tried to get it into the basket a second time. After he misses his putback, he tries to act like he's tapping the ball to his teammate but clearly taps it toward the hoop instead (but it doesn't go anywhere near going in). Dude was really trying, for real.
it was the bottom of the 4th, no outs and #51 Jang Jin Hyok (장진혁) was just up to bat with a zero count. There were runners on the corners. Jang Jin Hyok bunted in 3 runs including himself. The fan was waving his jersey. Btw... his batting avg. at that time was .243 and he had 2 at bats and 1 hit that game. In the KBL, they have a limited no. of pitchers, so they monitor the pitch count, which was 14.
Their national rugby team has had a great week. They beat Japan and played awesome against Australia even though they lost it was unexpected they'd put up a fight that strong.
5:07 I love this I’ll have to check this sport out more but this guy! What a goalkeeper even after that block just pops back on his feet before it’s close to anyone
The first clip is from a Team named : Les Aigles de Trois-rivieres. Fun fact Ken Griffey Sr. did play for that town back in the days, and there is many stories about both Ken Griffey sr. and jr. in that town. The team is currently playing over .600 and Louis-Phillipe is one of the best player of that league. That was my 2 cents. Peace ! EDIT : Baseball is played at Trois-Rivieres on a professional level since 1942. I thought it was interesting to add. Baseball has an old tradition in Quebec no matter what people think. We love this game too !
volleyball handles home-and-away matches better: if the sum of the two games is a draw (2-3 and 3-2 for example) then an extra set is played (it is possible to end a game 3-3 this way)
Point differential tie breakers. Any OT game should automatically be a 1 point win to avoid this type of situation. Also it is more representative of the spirit of the tie breaker. I came up with this theory because I used to gamble on sports, and nothing was more infuriating than having the game right in regulation, but having OT give you a bad beat. Especially frustrating is over/unders. There was a college football game that was under by more than 20 points, but after trading two touchdowns each, it went way over.
That basketball bit reminds me of a crazy football game where it ended with one team trying to score at either end because of an unusual rule that made it so that losing by two would hurt them but losing by 3 or 1 wouldn't.
I think if a game is decided in OT the point differential should be 0. You can still decide a winner, but the point differential should be based on the score at the end of regulation. Would stop silly things like trying to score on yourself
Hurling is like a sport kids invent to play at recess because some wanted to play ball hockey and some wanted to play soccer and some wanted to play baseball.
Recent play that's probably not nearly rare enough to make this series, but striking anyway: Albuquerque Isotopes @ Las Vegas Aviators, last week. Colby Thomas, of LV, is on first base. Takes off running and slides into second, successfully stealing the base. Colby gets up and kneels with one knee on the base. With his head down, he raises his left hand to ask for time. The umpire doesn't do anything, because unbeknownst to the blissfully unaware Colby Thomas, the catcher has fired a rocket to second, but so hard and so wildly that the ball went between the center fielder and left fielder, all the way to the wall. The first and third base coaches, Thomas' teammates, and the entire home crowd are all screaming for Thomas to run, but he just kneels there with his head down, until one of the outfielders chases down the ball and throws it back in to second. After which the umpire grants his request to call time out.
I think this is 3rd possibly 4th week in a row that ive asked to be able to vote for a dog for the fan of the week. Please and thank you for your concideration
So disappointed not to see the actual fan nominated as fan of the week, would have blown away the competition.
A true ingustice was done.
That was a cool comment.
Jimmy asked the fan if it wanted to be fan of the week, but it was oscillating, so he took it as a no.
I tried to oscillate one time, but I wasn’t a fan.
Very good

One of the best series jimmy does.
FYI, the stick/ club used is hurling is known as the "hurley".
Can always count on Jomboy for quality cricket highlights. I am so here for it.
Bunt homer is crazy.
bunt homer should def be the title
Imagine the coach, that must've been hard to watch lol.
Pitcher was sleeping on the backup.
Love the catcher pimping the missed catch at home and then not following the ball.
Its just crap baseball lol

Not to soon don't let anyone tell you so 😂
Thanks to Jomboy, more people are now drawn to sports with crazy rules than ever before! 'murica! murica! murica!
At this point, I plan on watching ALL of these things, because I ALWAYS plan on watching things I never planned on watching! :)

Too many RUclips ads, remove that and people will buy in.
Greatest show on the internet!!!

Thanks for sponsoring my favorite show, Jimmy! ❤
i love seeing hurling highlights on here! it’s such an exciting game, i really hope to visit dublin for the all ireland final someday!
Love this show, keep up the great work.
Definatly the clap for fan of the week
Never stop this series

how crazy do you have to be to voluntarily be a hurling goalie. it hurts me when a ping pong ball hits me, I cant imagine this

When I visited Ireland it was interesting seeing those hurling/Celtic football goal structures everywhere.
Love these, JB!
Good camera work to find that - dying 😂
6:10 Fan of the week.
Fan of the week was not human!
That was the cheat for R.B.I. Baseball on NES... just bunt with Vince Coleman, and if it gets through the infield, it's a HR!
Officially, they are not scored a a HR but they are a run (unearned) scored. Virtually every base for the one here would be an error.
I did a home run on a bunt when I was 17 years old in a summer high school league in the summer of 1972. I wasn't a starter but I got the call to come in and bat with a teammate on third.

"The baseball one is way crazier" no? What?
On that baseball bobble, it seems that the ball touched the wall after leaving his glove. That should negate the catch.

The wicket keepers wear specialised gloves and often grab the most spectacular catches.

As someone who plays softball, softballs hurt, and they are not soft!
An Irish guy got me on to hurling about a week ago and I've watched a few of the old finals now. Those guys go hard
I wanna be somewhere deep in the country of Ireland and hear some old men in a pub talk about the greatness of ol Patty Collin’s
Louis-Philippe Pelletier is from Montréal in Québec ⚜️ A French Canadian too hell yeah 🤘
Should that homerun takeaway not have been ruled a "no catch"? Ball clearly touched the wall after comihg out of his glove?
Hurling looks like a hell of a sport.
I think if a game is decided in OT the point differential should be 0. You can still decide a winner, but the point differential should be based on the score at the end of regulation. Would stop silly things like trying to score on yourself
Or even have two separate tiebreakers: first break ties by regulation point differential and then if still tied apply overtime point differential
Have to admit I’ve never even seen hurling before. Looks like a good one
Never thought I would string together the words “I love hurling”
Love the cricket!
I thought Lacrosse goalies were insane... Hurling goalies are the craziest of them all.... holy cow.
