    Sir Charles Barkley, clearly frustrated with losing Game 6 of 1997 Western Conference semifinals to the SuperSonics, reminds the Seattle crowd that there's still one more game left in the series. The Houston Rockets won Game 7.

    You can't count all of Sean Avery's transgressions on one finger, but his most famous bird-flipping came during a Rangers practice when TV camera crews caught the super pest mocking his Brodeur "face guard" by waving his stick.

    No stranger to losing his head, John McEnroe was once tossed from a Hall of Fame Champions Cup match for his own special triple fault: cursing, arguing with the chair umpire and making an obscene gesture at fans.

    Sometimes, the language barrier in the world's game forces soccer players to improvise. Alessandro Nesta of Italy reminds Teddy Sheringham of England that the Three Lions have hoisted the World Cup only one time.

    While it certainly won't go down as his number one offence, quarterback Michael Vick was caught on camera flipping the bird on both hands to Falcons fans at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

    "I was robbed and that's it." French Alpine skier Pierre-Emmanuel Dalcin was ahead of 17 skiers at the men's Olympic super-G when the race was stopped due to heavy snow and poor visibility. The initial times were scrapped and the Frenchman missed a gate during the next run.

    When German cyclist Judith Arndt found out that her live-in lesbian lover did not make the Olympic team, she showed the cycling federation that she can cross the finish line with only one hand steering.

    Keyshawn Johnson certainly knows how to salute his spectators. During stretching exercises at a Tampa Bay practice back in 2000, Johnson twice stretched out his middle finger at a cameraman taking footage.

    Allen Iverson always likes to be the No. 1 option on offence, and during his time with the Sixers, he let the crowd know that during a game against the Atlanta Hawks. The move cost him $10,000.

    The only thing more offensive than Matt King's attempt at a white-man afro was his message for Dragons fans after his Storm won an NRL match.

    Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams displayed a bit of his southern charm when he flipped off Bills' fans in 2009 - a decision that cost him $250,000 in fines.
