The worst call would be the officials allowing Thierry Henry to score a goal with his hands during a game against Ireland during the 2010 World Cup I believe.

In the AFC Championship Game in January 1996, Cordell Stewart of the Steelers stepped out of the back of the endzone before coming back in to make a touchdown catch. The Steelers wound up beating the Colts by 4 points, so you can do the math. As a Colts fan, thank goodness Peyton Manning and company came along, or we would still be complaining about that call. The Colts did let other opportunities get away in that game, but it would have helped if the Stewart touchdown was disallowed.

The 2002 NBA Playoffs, first round between the then-Charlotte Hornets and the Orlando Magic. Baron Davis hits a shot as time expires, but the NBC Sports crew catches audio of head referee Bernie Fryer saying that he was going to wave off the shot regardless because no one could possibly catch and shoot a valid shot in 0.7 seconds. The game went into overtime, and Charlotte ended up winning. The lighted rings that you see around the backboards and the use of instant reply on at-the-buzzer shots is a direct result of Fryer's boneheadedness.

Warning: Cheap Shameless Plug.

I've actually written a quiz on some of the worst calls of all time. Give it a whirl and tell me what you think.

That call that ump blew for the one pitcher for the Tigers that ruined his perfect game, lame.
