1993 - Dolphins @ Cowboys - Leon Lett Opps

[thaKG]

Of course. Ed Hochuli WOULD have been doing this game.

[JulianZeezer]

Man, this brings back memories.  Everybody in America was watching this game. We saw what you did, Leon!

[ff2paladin]

and the Dolphins (despite now being 9-2) didn't win another game the rest of the season and didn't make the playoffs. The Cowboys however went on to defeat the Bills a second consecutive time in SB28

[Statalyzer]

Hoculi can be annoying at times, but in situations like this I like that he carefully lets the fans know exactly what the rule is.

[PvtGermanWagz]

I remember when i was kid watching this game live in a room full of pissed off Cowboys fans.....man he messed up bad on this one.....

[theone2225]

@PvtGermanWagz hahaha Im sorry your comment made me laugh though. I remember watching this game as a kid too though.

[SealabCaptMurphy]

Leon Lett... the original Leroy Jenkins

[MoralPlight]

Out of all the good times I've had with my family & friends on Thanksgiving, amongst all the great stories and great meals, this is the preeminent moment that comes to mind when I think of thanksgiving. I almost died of laughter.

[theone2225]

@MoralPlight this game and the coin toss screw up with Jerome Bettis and the Steelers are the games I remember the most

[maddog0610]

Holy snow in TX!

[biz20]

I didnt know it snowed that much in Texas

[campkilldavy]

I love how the title says, "Opps".

[cochranexyz]

Oh, this is great. Any texass miscue. Even an old one like this.

[cochranexyz]

@cochranexyz And I hope Shula gave Lett the game ball.

[simpsonsfan2007]

Don't normally associate snow with Texas...LOL

[thearmyofgreatness]

this happend before i could talk and i still get pissed off

[STP43FAN1]

Playing in the snow and nobody able to score - nowadays a team like New England would put up 59 points in the snow.

[Wilhelm1617]

@STP43FAN1 A team like New England plays in the snow every year. This was Dallas and Miami....how often you think those franchises play in the snow?

[MsAmazinggymnast]

he was just playin hungry

[slydawg221]

Leon Lett the NFL's answer to Steve Urkel. lol "Did I do that?".

[thedude19766]

@slydawg221 actully lett is the Urkel of the NFL

[chiggero]

That's a lot of snow for Dallas

[SupernovaJJ]

1993: Thanksgiving Night: Cowboys + Dolphins

2011: Thanksgiving Night Cowboys + Dolphins

Difference: No Leon Lett To Screw Up.

[STP43FAN1]

@SupernovaJJ Difference the Cowboys won.

[Dwain9695]

If this happened in the super bowl Leon would of been murdered

[zazozung]

Lett was probably so coked up he didn't know what was going on.

[DIMP11]

@IslandZone78 Bob Trumpy

[cpinc40]

I was in the press box covering this game. The reaction to this was unreal.

[redmustang03]

Remember guys the Cowboys had the last laugh. The Dolphins went 9-2 after that game and at the end of the season went 9-7 and MISSED the playoffs. The Cowboys won ALL of the their games and the SUPER BOWL! So this really was the best thing that happened to them. For Leon, in the Super Bowl he caused a Thurman Thomas fumble that got returned for a touchdown that tied the game at 13 and the Cowboys would win 30-13. So in the end this was the best thing that happened to the Cowboys.

[dnasty312]

I feel like Nelson

"HA-Haw! HA-Haw! HA-Haw!"

[Jeff98177]

I want to get a Cowboys jersey made with LETT NOOOO on the back. :-) WTF was he thinking? Two of the Cowboys were even waving their arms as if to say, Do. Not. Touch. It. And still he slid in there.

[Wade3acb]

one of the best games in nfl history

[lakerskid2013]

I meant to say if they had SportsCenter back then it would be #1 on the Not Top 10

[lakerskid2013]

If they had SportsCenter Not Top 10 back then that would be #1

[siege86]

@lakerskid2013 to this day haha

[forzajaymz]

@lakerskid2013 They've had sportscenter since the 70's

[lakerskid2013]

@forzajaymz I didn't know that. But did they ever do Top 10 plays and Not Top 10 when it first started?

[furssher]

best part of the vid: "if we had instant replay..."

btw @tobs22 , he made a mistake shit happens. was pretty epic though...

[Modor20]

Way to be politically correct and say "holiday present".  Idiot.

[richmjr67]

After this game cowboys went 5-0 and dolphins went 0-5

[dadahdee]

Who was Miami's QB in this game? I think Marino may have been out with an achilles injury. I thought the QB was #17 for some reason-- Steve DeBerg maybe?

[afiouris]

@dadahdee Scott Mitchell

[shitbox99]

@dadahdee You are correct, sir.

[cholyu74]

They just replayed it before the game on pre-game show. Leon Lett came out and reminisced on this. Can't believe it's been 18 years. You gotta love the football on thanksgiving day.

[adub4ever]

we didnt loose another game all year on the way to a back to back superbowl!!!!!! so smoke to that

[afiouris]

@adub4ever  And Miami didn't win another game that year

[piratesmvp]

Who is the announcer who called this play?

[thegorn68]

@piratesmvp Dick Enberg and Bob Trumpy. The old NBC duo.

[ExoticaSpankalot]

I wonder if Leon got his ass kicked in the locker room?

[maplejet]

As a Bills fan, I was rooting for the Cowboys...cause the Marino-less Dolphins were just one game off the Bills for the division lead and currently had the tiebreaker vs. the Bills. This game caused nightmares for me all thanksgiving long.

[lesterwink23]

Is that Ed Hoculi?

[zg294]

What a Dumb-Ass! I remember watching this as a youg kid, great memories!

[cholyu74]

It's an infamous thanksgiving day classic. They meet again tomorrow and i'm sure CBS will replay this.

[joemoe23]

dude was just lazy. Who cares it's a stupid fucking game. At least we have funny stories to tell.

[espben360]

WOW. How did you get the original video tape?

[PXNDXLUIS]

@espben360 Yesterday it was on Nfl Network here in Mexico dude

[ultraback29]

I'm looking at this video before the game tomorrow on Thanksgiving between these same 2 teams.

The NFL seems to have a thing for this particular matchup on Thanksgiving, which tomorrow believe it or not will be the 3rd one since the eventful '93 game (they also played in '99 and '03).

It makes me think of how these 2 teams have been household names since back in the day. When I hear about these 2 teams in the same sentence, I think of Jimmy Johnson...and CHEERLEADERS!

[Fatheads144]

Just Remember that was the last game the Cowboys lost that year as they won the SB, Think the Dolphins would switch?, this is they're only highlight on the last Twenty years.

[brebuoch]

@Fatheads144 What have the Cowboys done since 1995? Zzzzzz...

Most in my generation don't even know what "America's team" is supposed to mean, America's teams win (Lakers, Yankees, etc).

[csbaysden]

Thumbs up if you are watching this after listening to Mike & Mike.

[jacemrva]

I was a happy Dolphins fan that day, but the Cowboys & their fans got the last laugh:

This was the Dolphins last win of the year, they missed the playoffs.

The Cowboys didn't lose again and won the Super Bowl.

In any event, I love Bad Weather Football.

[ot63]

nigga went full retard

[NFLization]

It just had to snow IN DALLAS.

[Johnfsu]

Thanks for posting.  Go Fins!

[fishtexas777]

Lett it Be

[mt901k]

This is a Thanksgiving tradition for us cowboy haters

[jackcoolice]

my dolphins i love you forever

[piratesmvp]

If the Cowboys did not win the Super Bowl, nobody would be laughing about this today. But, it's funny to see Jerry Jones sad after he screwed Tom Landry.

[JJJohnson32]

@piratesmvp Its funny to see Jerry Jones sad period. 

[piratesmvp]

@JJJohnson32 Agreed. lol

[AEMoreira81]

The funny thing: the Cowboys would not lose again this season...and this was the last game that the Dolphins would win that season (they lost 5 straight to finish 9-7).

[lokkabee]

aha how sad para him

[Snowboy2015]

@lokkabee how sad you're in america and cant write english u refugee

[ChiGuy251]

The only consolation prize for them was winning the superbowl that year

[blown22]

OPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP­PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPS!

I mean...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!

[tobs22]

One of the stupidest bastards on the face of the Earth.

[AntaresInScorpius]

@tobs22 HE COULDNT HELP IT!!! HE WAS PLAYING HUNGRY!!! DONT BE SO JUDGEMENTAL!!

[Beepbeepoutoftheway]

I never get tired of hearing that

[FutureNewsAnchor]

WAIT A MINUTE! SOMEBODY TOUCHED IT! IT'S LEON LETT! NO!
