I feel kind of bad for him, but damn I bet that guy who won was ecstatic.

The premature celebration is one of my biggest pet peeves in sports, whether it's doing the Gatorade bath too soon, hamming it up before you get to the goal line, posing at the plate before the ball clears the outfield wall, etc. So I love this clip. Geez, there's plenty of time for that after you win, knucklehead.

Hey Cowboy fan: Leon Lett anyone?

I don't necessarily consider this an egotistical Deon Sanders endzone dance, but raw emotions going through ya when you're in an event and the adrenaline is coursing through your blood.
In my first bike race (a duathlon relay) I was so pumped that I couldn't get my bike shoes to clip in and I biked so fast and hard that I wore myself out early. A friend of mine didn't run through the chip checkpoint at another relay, which cost him about 30 seconds. It happens. |

The point is don't celebrate a win prematurely, otherwise it'll bite you in the butt.

| | | | Whereas his point is that you've never been in that situation. You can sit here, play armchair quaterback and say what you would've done, but you have no idea what you'd do. Lots of people say 'I'd kick his ass' or 'I'd dunk on him all day'. Except they never do more than talk. It's pretty easy to sit back, do nothing and laugh at someone who tried and failed. |

What does having to be a pro cyclist have to do with that though? The experiences aren't transferable or something? I ran a 2km race once, started out running far too fast and burnt out with 100m to go and had to walk the rest of the way. It didn't help that I'd just come back from an injury. Finished third, but if I had paced myself I probably would've won.
I've also played on a hockey team that won a major tournament in the last minute, after losing 4-2. We scored three goals in the final minute, because the other team had already started celebrating the win. Just because the video is of a cyclist doesn't mean that other examples are not valid, as you still have adrenaline pumping through you in those sports too.

While I hope I'd never do something like that, adrenaline is a mofo that gives you strength but also might make you do things you'd never do. Sometimes it works, sometimes if backfires. Just like playing in front of a crowd for the first time or first time playing in front of a HUGE crowd, it's not even remotely similar. |

I give you that. For me, it was wrestling and submission grappling tournaments. I got destroyed my first time due to nerves. I'm talking totally owned. I got better in time at least; somewhat anyway. |

I made a bit of an ass out of myself before a large crowd; felt invincible and was soon disuaded of that notion. |
