YouTube Top 10: because nobody does title race commentary quite like Paul Merson

Kick back and enjoy 10 of the hottest sports vids from the past seven days. It’s worth it.

10. Earlier this week, ESPN announced that they have commissioned a second run of their magnificent “30 for 30″ sports documentary series. Alongside the new episodes, they will also be producing a web series of short films in conjunction with Grantland. The first of those, a look at the life of former Cincinnati Reds manager Pete Rose, should whet your appetite sufficiently.

9. We don’t normally buy into the “cuteness” of small children in sports videos, but this one is pretty cool.

Roger Meijer’s De Graafschap was relegated from the Dutch Eredivisie after a 1-1 draw last weekend. After the game, when Meijer sat on the field in despair, his young daughter walked onto the field and tried to console him

8. Who said that golf is a boring sport? These Challenge Tour players look like they’re having the time of their lives out on the practice ground.

7. Is there any chance that Saturday’s Heineken Cup final will live up to the drama and excitement of last year? No? Better dust off the highlights tape so.

6. Nobody does sporting hyperbole better than the Americans. So it stands to reason that nobody does sports promos better than the Americans as well. The NBA’s latest effort for the San Antonio Spurs is particularly good.

5. Mobile provider 3 had a stab at an ad of their own this week to wish the Republic of Ireland luck at Euro 2012. This one stars Stephen Ward, Shay Given, Manuela and a pitch-perfect Trap.

4. Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix ended in chaos when a fire broke out in the Williams pit garage as the team celebrated its first chequered flag since 2004. This video is about as close as you can get.

3. Have you ever seen a golf shot so good that it made you swear live on national television? NBC’s Johnny Miller did when Kevin Na (finally) hit a hybrid off the cart track last weekend.

2. You’ve seen the video of Obama’s latest meeting with his “cousin” Robbie Keane, right?

1. Whatever exquisitely-crafted words were penned on Sunday’s thrilling Premier League climax, nothing captured the sheer giddyness of Sergio Aguero’s winner like Paul Merson’s commentary.

    I can only assume Maradona will accept the result gracefully and congratulate the victors.
