Yeah Crazy Train is a good song, but has been murdered by overuse.

It was used as the theme to ITV's Premiership Football highlights programme.

It was the post season or the All-Star game. Cant remember which.

Beautiful Day

They also regularly use it at baseball parks, especially on opening day. I remember reading an article about the Red Sox recently and they mentioned playing it on opening day there.

Elevation also regularly gets played during sporting events. I've also heard Desire quite a bit.

As for overplayed songs, I'm pretty sick of Welcome to the Jungle and Crazy Train.

Song 2

That song was ruined as soon as it was conceived.  Nothing to do with sports.
