Sport is a very serious business. From soccer to baseball, rugby to gymnastics, the athletes that play professional sport live and breathe their profession, and winning or losing is equated to life or death. The hours of training, the sacrifices and the endless will to win mean that sport is quite rightly viewed as a serious pastime.

Betfair are long, and as such when something has us in stitches we should embrace it. Here are the top five funniest moments in American Football - enjoy!
