- Argentinian football star goes blank after a question, but where does it rank with the all-time sideline gaffes?
- Manager of Mexican second tier side Dorados de Sinaloa lost for words after 1-0 loss to Juarez at the weekend
Diego Maradona, currently managing Dorados de Sinaloa in Mexico’s second tier league, was asked about the level of play in the top tier Liga MX after his side’s 1-0 loss to Juarez on Saturday.

DeAndre Jordan
The Los Angeles Clippers big man looked a little distracted after being asked a question by Fox Sports. Turns out he really loves rapper Tupac.
