Sports brings people together, and it also creates lasting rivalries. For some people, celebrating their favorite sporting event is the highlight of their week. Whether it's tailgating for a football game with a group of friends, or watching a soccer match at home with their family, people get so into the game. Many folks take their teams' winning or losing streaks very personally. A loss for their hometown team means a grumpy week for them!

These days, we have social media to tweet about sporting events in real time. Plus, a lot of athletes have their own social media accounts where they can tweet at other players or write about their performance. This week, @PowellAnalytics asked, "If there were a "Sports Twitter" Hall of Fame, honoring the best sports-related tweets of all time, what would be your nominee?" and the answers did not disappoint. People replied and QT'd with plenty of the most hilarious and off-the-wall sporting tweets they could find, with many people saying they thought about these tweets all the time. It's a great collection of sporting moments, and you can check them all out below.
