If the definition of blunder is "What were they thinking?!?!" vs. making a bad play, then there are plenty of others that qualify...
Mike Tyson's ear chewing incidents.
Dwayne Rudd throwing his helmet thinking the game was over early in the season a couple years ago. The Browns missed the playoffs because of that one play/game.
Clemens beaning Piazza, then throwing the bat at him later that year. Say what you will... I think it was intentional.
Gary Barnett. Colorado football coach. "Not only was she a girl, but she was terrible". Nuff said. A close second for the Colorado president saying that the "C" word could be used as a term of endearment. Yeah, in prison maybe.
How about Bobby Knight? On double secret probabtion with a zero tolerance behavior clause, he grabs a kid on campus and screams at him for saying "Hey.. what's up Knight?". One word, Bobby. Lithium.
And as sad as it is/was, how about the fateful decision Len Bias made?
The Georgetown guard passing the ball to James Worthy in the Hoyas backcourt to seal the NCAA finals for Carolina.
One of the Fab Five (Webber?) calling timeout in the NCAA finals against Carolina when they had none with time expiring. Technical, ball and game to UNC.
The NFL ref (Phil Luckett) who got the overtime coin toss wrong after Bettis clearly said "Tails" in a Pittsburgh/Detroit 1998 Thanksgiving game.
The same ref (Luckett) who gave Vinny and the Jets a touchdown against Seattle on a QB sneak when he was clearly a yard away.
