Hashtagging Fun: #AddSportsRuinASong

Every now and then, a new hashtag will appear on Twitter with which is a lot of fun to play.

(For those of you uninitiated into the joys of Twitter, a hashtag is the pound sign, "#", followed by a word or phrase, with which you can use it to search.)

The latest is "#AddSportsRuinASong". Basically, you add a sports word or phrase to a song and ruin it. Allow me to provide a few of my own examples:
"Papa Got a Brand New Golf Bag"
"Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be Dallas Cowboys"
"Dancing Queen to Rook 7"
"A Hard Day's Bobby Knight"
"Sloop John Cena"
"Can't Buy Me 15-Love"
"The Blue Devils Went Down to Georgia"
"Sultans of Golf Swing"
"The Detroit Lions Sleep Tonight"
"Don't Bring Me Churchill Downs"
"You Can't Roller Skate with a Buffalo Bill"
"I Walk the Sideline"
"Cleveland Brown Sugar"
"Papa Was a Bowling Ball"
"One Less Boxing Bell to Answer"
"Eleanor Rugby"

And with apologies to George Plimpton: "It's Only a Paper Lion".
