When Terrell Owens went to the Cowboys.

I can't stand that arrogant bastard.

E-A-G-L-E-S! Eagles! :P



I loved it when Terrell Owens got creamed from behind by former University of Alabama and Dallas Cowboy DB George Teague for dancing on the Dallas Star after scoring a touchdown. THAT was classic! :D:D

Oh yeah, I still remember that one. Titans got stopped on the one yard line with no time left with the game on the line. Damn...

Though I thoroughly enjoyed (like many Chicagoans) the Bulls of the 90s, I don't think that I ever liked following the NBA as much as I enjoy watching college basketball now.

Therefore, my favorite moment has to be the Elite 8 game between my beloved Illini and Arizona from 2005, played at the Allstate Arena. That comeback was unbelievable and still gives me chills to think about.

A more recent favourite would be England beating Australia in their own back yard at the 2003 Rugby world cup final.

It was a close match and went into extra time. Johnny Wilkinson drop kicked a goal in the dieing seconds of extra time to win.

Apart from the joy of winning, in those days I was built and looked similar to one of the England players. And Rugby player types were the latest fashion accessory for girls in the U.

I had alot of fun. :$:ph34r:B|:)

No No No . . . It was one of the times that Funks was under a new screen name and had all the guys PMing him and he was getting hit on and they were sending naked penis pics to him.

Is that the funny baseball game thing? Yawn :)



Hey, Andy's old enough to remember all of the Babe's big moments when they happened - let him have his memories for as long as he can. :D

2004 ALCS. B| Sure, the World Series was fun, too, but the ALCS was the really fun part.

Yeah, that one gets high marks in my book too. The Yankees remain the only team in baseball to have choked hard enough to lose a 7 game series after leading 3-0. :)

Can't go wrong with Kirk Gibson's crippled old ass slamming a pinch hit walk-off homer in the world series for the Dodgers against the great closer Dennis Eckersley. One of the greatest moments in all of baseball history.

Tony Hawk landing the first 900 in the half pipe. attempt after attempt, beating after beating, the pressure, and just the overall atmosphere of the moment was something amazing to me

In the midst of all these board and ball sports I'm going to out myself. I'm a sucker for figure skating.

My favorite moment was during the 2002 Olympics Games. The favorites for Gold were American Michelle Kwan and Russian Irina Slutskaya.

But a 16 year old girl from Long Island, NY, Sarah Hughes, gave the performance of a lifetime and blew them, and everyone who saw it, away . . .

Skip Carey, "Bream rounds third, here comes the throw, here's the play at the plate, he'sssssssss.......SAFE!!! BRAVES WIN, BRAVES WIN, BRAVES WIN!!!!!

For those who don't know, Skip Carey, voice of the Braves for 30 years, passed away at the end of last week.:(

Yep, another great moment. I still remember that play. Sid wasn't the fastest on the team, in fact he was one of, if not THE slowest.

And thus started the "SID.... SID.... SID...." chants during the subsequent World Series.

Oooh...I'd forgotten about that one too. That one is near the top of my list. The Tin Cup nature of it made it even better.

Also Rulon Gardner beating Alexander Karelin in the 2000 Olympics. Karelin had won the gold in three consecutive Olympics (88, 92, and 96), 9 consecutive world titles, hadn't lost a match of any sort since the '87 Soviet championship, hadn't ever lost an international match, and hadn't had a single point scored on him in 10 years. Gardner was a farmer who'd lost to Karelin 5-0 in the '97 world championship...nobody besides himself gave him a chance. With six seconds left in the match and Gardner hanging on to his 1-0 lead, Karelin dropped his hands, stared at his opponent, and conceded the defeat. And yes, the commentator used the same line, "Do you believe in miracles?!" :D

My stepfather was a television cameraman for CBS Sports when I was a kid.

Best moment ever.. of many I witnessed...

Quarterback Sneak...Bart Starr.....Ice Bowl.....Lambeau Field.....Green Bay, WI...1967

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI6TkS-WN0I

The whole game was an excercise in cold weather survival.. especially from the end zone camera platform with the north wind in my face for the whole game.

I don't really follow any sports, so I guess I don't have a favorite sporting moment. But I am currently reading John Bertrand's Born to Win, where he talks about his team's 1983 winning of the America's Cup. Which sounds like it was a pretty cool moment, since that was the first time in about 130 years that anyone beat the American team.

Craziest game for a QB - Ken "the snake" Stabler, gets falling down drunk the night before a big game for the Denver Broncos, and goes out to throw 4 TD passes in a big win with a splitting headache. You got to wonder how the fuck he did that. :S

Pretty cool, but not that impressive compared to Dock Ellis (recently discussed in some other thread). He took some acid around noon, took the mound at 6 PM, and proceeded to pitch a no-hitter.
