I remember watching that Boise State game which was amazing to see. I could not beleive the ambition those guys had to win that game and the passion to overcome the adversity. Being the small school under dogs and fighting their way to the top was a sight to see for sure. Goes down in the history books as one of the top 10 college games of all time imo. Terrific choice to place in this thread.


As for the Giants-Patriots game I couldnt have been more disgusted. First of all im not an eli fan at all and the Giants are division rivals. Second of all I had money on the Pats to win the game and lost. Im not sure if it was my deep seeded dislike for the giants and eli persuaing my football intellect. Or if im just a fan of Brady and Bellichek and wanted to see the Dolphins 14 and 0 super bowl record shattered. Or just the combo of both that drove me to pick the Pats over the Giants. Either way they came out victorious and won the game. So its water under the bridge now.

That Fiesta Bowl was one of the best college games ever. Made even more cool cause Ian Johnson proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend after scoring the game winning score. That game really put Boise on the map and I don't discredit their win at all because of the trick plays. It made it that much more sweet cause not many coaches have the balls to play like that. Man, that game was so awesome.

The Tyree catch is one of the biggest catches in NFL history. Watching that game it just seemed to me like the Pats weren't into the game and weren't playing hard or something. I don't know, they seemed disinterested considering it was the Superbowl. I'm not an Eli fan either and was rooting for the Pats in that game but I was glad to see a classic superbowl. It's still hard to imagine how Tyree caught that ball with roid-rager Rodney Harrison crushing his arms like that. Tyree has always been like a bench WR but he'll always be remembered now.

Oh man I forgot about that Jason McElwain thing. That gives me chills to watch. One of the coolest things to happen ever. Who would ever think he would score a basket let alone start raining threes like Reggie Miller lol. That's just such an awesome story and something that nobody involved will ever forget

Man, I can't find this one video on youtube that I wanna post. As a Mets fan, there aren't a lot of great memories that have happened in my lifetime, but one of them is the 1999 walk-off home run that backup catcher Todd Pratt hit in the NLDS Vs the Diamondbacks to win the series. That was so awesome.

I felt terrible for AP during that game, but that has to be considered the greatest football game ever.

This doesn't rank up there all-time obviously but it was probably (tied for) the best thing I've seen live:



The other best thing was these two things, when I went down to Boston:

History in the making


And my favourite player making a ridiculous play


And to cap it off the Bruins clinched a playoff spot with that win.

1960. Rome Olympic Games. Marathon. Ethiopian Abebe Bikila runs barefoot.... and wins the gold medal.

These a personally memorable games. (I know one of them have been posted already.

Worst day of my life!



2nd worst day of my life!



3rd worst day of my life!



Greatest day of my life, minus my marriage and birth of my children. (Oh hell, it's the greatest day of my life)

Just a little Kobe action...get you some

Kobe sucks, I don't know why I'm the only one who see's that. He's a terrible team player.

David Tyree's "Helmet Catch" is the most exciting moment in sports history I can remember. Now, I'm an avid Packers fan, but I'm also an avid Patriots hater. Seriously, I will wear a Hawaiian shirt to Tom Brady's funeral type of sh*t. Anyway, that catch, had a whole season leading up to it. I mean, everytime the Patriots got into trouble ALL SEASON, they would get bailed out by luck or bad calls. EVERYTIME... Then, here comes this 5th string WR comes in and runs a route against the dirtiest secondary in football history, the bastard little brother of almighty Peyton shakes away 2 (count them, 2) would be sackers, steps back, grabs his ****... and HEAVES the ball at a Tyree that seems to be about 16 feet in the air for about 12 seconds before the ball got there... he makes the catch, one handed against his helmet. Sets up the winning score. Giants win.

David 1 - Goliath 0.

Greatest play I've ever seen.

Also,

I know no one watches the Olympics anymore, but...


At this moment, as per usual, the rest of the world had America's pee-pee in it's mouth.

Suck on that world.

you aren't the only one that sees it.

I say it all the time to my friends.

I'm hoping he can suck his way to a three peat this year. Keep sucking Kobe, learn how to play the team game. :clap: :D

Haha well Kobe doesn't suck, but he's definitely overrated.

We will never see anything again like Shaq in his prime. I used to love watching those Lakers teams, I always rooted for them.

Ummm, yeah.... new addition:

Time to put some football in this thread:

Zidane volley to win the European Cup



Greatest goal in a European Cup final? Possibly, certainly the best I've ever seen. The bravery to do this in a game of such magnitude is one thing, but the absolutely perfect technique used just makes this goal worthy of winning a European Cup.

Ronaldinho gets applause at the Bernabéu



Ronaldinho at his peak was in the top 5 players of all time, and these goals just summed him up. His pace, quick feet and close control and how he always played with a smile on his face. I cant remember it ever happening any other time for a Barca player to get applause from Madrid fans for tearing their team a new one.

Cristiano Ronaldo free kick vs Arsenal



The very audible groan when the ball hits the back of the net is what sticks in the mind here, followed half a second later by cheers from the United fans. The third goal on the counter attack was definitely the more aesthetically pleasing goal from a footballing perspective, but if you want a goal to sum up all of the emotions that people feel from this sport then this goal has it.

Italy vs Germany; World Cup semi final 2006



This was simply a great game of football, so many chances created by both sides which considering it was a high pressure semi final of the World Cup makes it even better. The fact that Italy won, and went on to win the trophy gave their football something to be proud of at a time when the whole Calciopoli scandal was in the news. Sadly the final will mostly only be remembered for this moment...



Maradona 86



Maradona will be remembered for two goals, both against England in 1986. The 'Hand of God' goal needs no words, he cheated and got away with it. The second goal was simply stunning football, and really makes you question why he he handballed the first one if he was able to do this. Goals like this dont come along very often, and when they do, they stick in the memory.

There are hundreds of moments from football I could have chosen, I might do more at a later date because this has actually been quite fun to revisit some of these.
