The Top Ten Oddest Athlete Cameos

March 6th, 2008 11:45am EST Post a comment

We have to say, the process of compiling a list of the best athlete cameos has been done to death. We get it; Keith Hernandez was hilarious in Seinfeld (he was), and Mr. Burns' All Star softball team episode of The Simpsons is a classic (it is). We wanted to delve a bit deeper though, really flesh out some more obscure and odd cameos' from our favorite stars in the world of sports.

I wish Tracy Morgan had been the voice of "The Fridge" in the cartoon.

@Ron with the Broken Foot: which would ironicly still be called "My Two Dads".

Im sorry to hear that Ron has now broken his foot as well. Everyone should be more careful out there, its winter and slippery.
I must ask, is there any other song anywhere near as long as that that consists almost entirely of 3 words, wow that was a long song.
And forget Roger, the basketball trio of Mullin, The Admiral and Isiah creates star power the likes of which has not been seen since, anywhere.

I know its a Movie, but with the recent surprise retirement of Brett Favre, I was sure that Something About Mary was going to turn up...it being so topical,.... and you being all topical -- its just damn topical...

Wasn't there a cartoon that starred three athletes. I'm sure Wayne Gretzky was one of them, but I can't remember the other two. Anyone?

@Bill from Gainesville: It was just not obscure enough. It was up there with the Keith Hernandez and Simpsons episodes.

I was going to lie and say that I've seen at least one of these, but I couldn't think of anything funny. So here's the truth: I've never seen any of those cameos. A tip of the hat to you sir, these are indeed obscure.

That would be ProStars. Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson and Wayne Gretzky fought crime.

Wasn't your boy Ozzie in that Simpsons episode. Was he the one who fell into the never ending hole?
Why no Harlem Globe Trotters on Scooby Doo?

Wayne Gretzky was the comedy relief and for some reason he couldn't stop eating. Yup, only in the early 90's.

Roger Clemens was in an MC Hammer video?
...
OK, that's just sad. Really. I thought he at least had more sense than that...I guess not...
