After witnessing Stu Scott sing Edwin McCain’s “I’ll Be” better than Edwin himself can, we’ve been more than a little intrigued by the power of karaoke, especially when coupled with sports. So we revisited our favorite instances of sports and karaoke colliding. Here are the all-time moments…

The Mannings Don’t Get Called by Their Own Names. Archie, Peyton, and Eli bring a wedding reception alive with their David Allan Coe rendition. Seriously, does Cooper get included in anything?

Shane Battier Is Forever in Blue Jeans. Long before Stu Scott was proving how street he is with songs from the Dawson’s Creek soundtrack, Shane Battier was crushing Neil Diamond classics. Mind the pointing.

The Patriots Have the Right Stuff. Wes Welker and Matt Cassel are men possessed when imitating New Kids on the Block. Is that even Welker? Or just a beefed up Joey McIntyre?

Romo + Belding + Journey = Awesomeville. Population us. Arguably the most famous of all sports-related singing sessions. Equal parts enjoyable and bizarre.

Eli Goes Solo. He’s the Super Bowl winning quarterback of the New York Giants. He doesn’t need daddy and big brother to hold his hand. He can crush Bon Jovi all on his own.

Kevin Millar Was Born in the USA. A young Kevin Millar proves he knows less words to “Born in the USA” than any other dude who grew in the same decade. Not as much karaoke as it is a Springsteen impersonation combined with really, really piss poor lip syncing. Too awesome to not include.

The Schwab Dominates Beers, Skanks, and the Mike. Don Chavez has the full story. All we have to say is you know the Schwab made those chicks work for their beads.

Yao Ming Inspired Chinese Backstreet Boys. Yao doesn’t get the credit he deserves for inspiring this YouTube classic. If Yao doesn’t take on American basketball do these kids take on American pop music? We think not.

And Stu Scott One Last Time. If we ever finally start that cover band specializing in crappy songs that deserve to get us kicked in the dick, we think we know which ESPN personality is getting the call to be our frontman. And it’s not John Clayton.
