From epic fails to bloopers and well-timed photographs, it's nice to know even professionals have bad days. And it's even better knowing there's always a photographer around to capture the hilarity!

Drowning In Shoulder Pads

Instead of going back and forth to fetch the protective gear for team training, why not carry it all at once? A genius move. This American football legend appears to be drowning in shoulder pads, but with all that protection, at least he won't get injured by rogue footballs.

Roster Battles: Training camp is also where players compete for a spot on the team's final 53-man roster. This includes drafted rookies, undrafted free agents, and veterans, all of whom must prove their worth on the field.

At Least He's Honest

Apparently, a crowd member wasn't pleased with the referee and expressed her feelings with a homemade sign. This scene turned the referee into a cartoon character, and he probably didn't notice until he saw the photo. Worse still, the sign to the right is equally bizarre.

Two-Referee System: Since the 2000-2001 season, the NHL has employed a two-referee system in all of its games. This was implemented to improve the oversight of the game, as the fast-paced nature of hockey can make it difficult for a single referee to catch all potential rule infractions.

A Narrow Miss

Who knew one of the potential risks of cheering for the big leagues is having those big team members nearly take you down! In this shot, a Dallas Cowboy’s Cheerleader has her back to the field when a player got tackled offside, nearly taking her down with him! From the relief on her face, it looks like she’s happy it was a near miss.
