Funniest sign you've ever seen at a game?

Mr. Laser Beam

Meaning, the funniest one held up by a member of the crowd (any sport).

I think I just saw one. It was from tonight's Yankees/O's game:

"My grandma has a crush on Michael Kay". :guffaw:

So what's the funniest one you all have ever seen at whatever game you prefer?
 
Last time I was at Target Field I saw at least a dozen signs that said "Circle Me Bert". Took me awhile before I knew who and what they were talking about... Linky
 
Somebody placed an A-Roid banner on the steps behind home plate at Turner Field last year.I wish I could remember exactly what it said. It was visible the entire game.
 
2001 at the Frozen Four. New Hampshire was the #1 seed and the tourney was being shown on ESPN2

I wish I had taken a picture of it. :lol:
 
About ten years ago, I was at a Leafs game with my Dad. They were playing LA, and a man in the next section over was wearing a Kings jersey. He had a big cardboard sign that said "I hate this shirt".
 
Not necessarily a sport but we were at a WWE event way back in the '90's and Kid Rock was performing so my buddy made and brought a sign that said "Kid Rock Sucks Kid's Cocks".
 
In the 2007 playoffs when the Rockies had that unbelievable run, they were playing the Diamondbacks in the first round of the playoffs. During the final game of that sweep at Coors Field, someone had a sign right behind the Diamondback's dugout that simply said Snakes on a Plane
 
Now the Willie Mason has left the NRL for Super League no longer will this classic sign be seen when he faces up to a Raider's side with Alan Tongue in it:

"Who needs a Big Willie when you have a great Tongue"
 
This was during a 1996 Monday Night Football game between the Bears and the Vikings. The Bears quarterback at the time was David Krieg, the Vikings was Warren Moon. The two men were in a heated race for the dubious record of most career fumbles, with Krieg having something like 109 and Moon about 107.
A fan in the stands held a sign proclaiming this. In big black letters, it said "ALL TIME FUMBLES: KRIEG 109, MOON 107."
During the game, Krieg was sacked and fumbled. The camera went back to the fan in the stands. He pulled a placard with the number 10 on it and placed it over the 09 on Krieg's total, updating the tally.
 
bayern munich had a dutch player a few years back, roy maakay. scored a lot of goals in his first seasons for the club, lacked success later. signs reading "rheuma kay" (rheumatism kay) all over the place. sounds spoken the same like his name.
last weekend, mainz vs hamburg sv. mainz had the chance to get 8 wins back to back, the best series ever in the premier league of german football. coupla hsv fans had signs "hsv - serial killer". hsv won, ending mainz's run.
 
Speaking of signs, I hope I'm not the only one here who remembers Karl Ehrhardt - the sign guy at Shea Stadium. He was a professional graphic artist who would show up at the stadium every day with about 60 - 70 signs, each of which were color coded so he could whip out a sign for any possible situation in a game.

Tonight at Yankee Stadium (ALCS Game 5 vs. Rangers) somebody had a sign that said:

NOT OVER LEE CONCERNED :guffaw:

(Lee as in Cliff, of course)

Some friends of mine took a picture of one out side a Mariners game.
held by a homeless man that read
Need money for Smokes Beer and a Hooker

they gave him $5 for being honest.
 
I have a feeling there will be some interesting signs at Lambeau during the Sunday night Packers-Vikings game. Bret Favre's given the fans a lot of fodder.
 
Years ago, when RU went south to play Tennessee, the Vols' fans thought it hilarious to flash placards reading stuff like "Where's Rutgers?" and "What's a Rutgers?"

A couple of Knights' fans waited patiently, and when Rutgers emerged with a 13-7 win, they quickly unfurled a long banner that read, "RU's in Jersey, hicks! Betcha won't forget now!" :techman:

[Probably not bright in Knoxville, but ... freakin' delightful.]

I've seen that kind of thing too... once saw a guy outside Yankee Stadium holding a sign that said "Why lie? I NEED A BEER" :lol:
