Anorak 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 I actually had to think hard about this, thats why I didnt really post what mine was to start, but one does come to mind, it was during june 96, the year that the Euro Championships had come to England, and we had made the semis, against the team everyone hates, Germany, and the whole country was seriously pumped up for the game, I cant remember an atmosphere like it, anyway, the game kicks off and we are playing well, and suddenly we get a corner after 2 minutes, sheares up and bam we score, 1-0 up against the Germans and life was perfect, of course the fucking Germans had to equalise, and then we lost on penalties thanks to Southgate fucking up, but those 3 minutes were just absoulutly perfect, it just sums up the fantastic summer of 96. Even though we lost on penalties both times at the semi-final stage the 1990 World Cup and Euro 96 both hold endless great memories. I remember the moment Shearer scored and I really thought we were going to do it, it just seemed meant to be with that special atmosphere which had gripped the whole nation. Every time I see a replay of Gascoigne just missing that cross in extra-time I swear he's going to put it in, one of the best games i've ever seen. The 1990 match was possibly even better, there was enormous respect between the teams and you just couldn't seperate them at all. That whole tournament is my favourie sporting event of all time, so many memories, Cannigia getting poleaxed by Cameroonian defenders in the opening upset, the volatile Germany-Holland game, Baggio's goal, Milla tackling Higuita, Platt's last minute volley against Belgium, Maradona crying at the end of the final, Gazza's tears etc etc. It also spawned one of the best ever books to be written on a sporting event in All Played Out. As for domestic sport it has to be Steve Claridge's winner against Palace in the 96 play-off final, must be one of the most dramatic goals ever scored at Wembley (I know i'm biased). A perfect moment. Steve Walsh's winner against Derby in 94 and the League Cup win in 97 (car horns didn't stop all night) would be second. I'm not the biggest Rugby fan but it was hard not to be proud of Leicester Tigers winning back to back European Cups a couple of years back right up there with England beating Australia in the World Cup Final last winter, to beat them in their own back yard with close to 100,000 England supporters (No country in the world has better fans than us) either in the stadium or watching elsewhere in Sydney was incredible.

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 1) 1999 Eastern Conference First Round - Game 5: New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat. With like 4.7 seconds left, Allan Houston takes the pass from Charlie Ward and drives to the hoop, wins the game, and then swings his fist with Spree and co. hugging him 2) 1999 Eastern Conference Finals: Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks. Don't remember what game exactly, I believe its game 3, not too sure. Larry Johnson had been on fire all night long, and the Knicks were down three with like 14 seconds left. He just kept holding the ball as time went buy, then just hoisted a shot over Antonio Davis, gets fouled, and SWISH! The crowd goes apeshit, LJ nails the Free Throw and the Knicks win the game and the series. 3) 2001 World Series: Paul O'Neill gets his name chanted by the crowd in Yankee Stadium. That was beautiful. 4) 2001 World Series: Tino and Scott hit homers off of Byung-Hung Kim in the 9th to tie the game. That was also incredible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 Baseball 1993- The Braves beat the Rockies and then I watch the LA Dodgers rape Salomon Torres and the Giants and the Braves win the Division Title. 1995- Greatest moment in sports ever. Baerga flies out to Grissom and the Braves win the World Series. 1999- Chipper Jones cements his MVP status as the Braves play the Mets 6 times in a close span and win all 6 games. 1999- Kenny Rogers walks in the winning run. 2001- The first Mets home game after 9/11 was pretty special. Even though I'm a Braves fan, seeing them rally back to beat them on Piazza's HR was great. 2001- The Braves prove everyone wrong and just destroy the Astros in a three game sweep. 2001- Gonzalez. Rivera. Bases loaded. Bottom of the 9th. I've never screamed so loud. 2002- The Angels beating the Yanks made me so happy- I threw out my back. Football 1998- Broncos v. Packers. That whole game was awesome. 2001- Saints win their first playoff game and shock the world by beating the Rams. 2001- The Giants destroy the Vikings 41-0 and go to the Super Bowl. Basketball 1992- Even though they lost the series- the Knicks winning Game 1 against Chicago was cool. 1993- Starks' dunk. The only time I never wished ill-will on that man. Other then that he can rot in hell like the worthless piece of shit he is. 1994- The Knicks run to the finals was pretty magical- I thought for sure they'd win. Knicks v. Pacers was so much fun to watch. 1999- The finger roll of doom. Pacers fans can whine all they want but that 4 point play is my favourite moment in basketball history. I kicked my dad out since I thought he was bad luck and watched the game nervously. When LJ hit that three I EXPLODED and jumped off my bed and ran around the house screaming just going batshit. What a game. Any way to get a clip of that? 2002- The Nets beating the Pacers in that epic double OT game and winning their first playoff series was very cool. Hockey 1995, 2000- The Devils winning the Cups was pretty cool. Everytime the Leafs beat the Sens is pretty sweet. The Canucks winning the division title was pretty cool. Going to both overtime wins the Leafs had in last years playoffs was awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crazy Dan Report post Posted June 10, 2004 I love hearing Al Michaels scream "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!!!" as the USA upsets the USSR in the semifinals of the Medal Rounds. No one gave the US any chance in hell against one of the most dominant teams ever assembled for Hockey. I was too young for this to see it live, but watching replays, and the movie Miracle, this moment always gives me chills. As for some other great moments: Joe Montana completes one of the greatest drives in SB History, as he hits John Taylor in the end zone and the Niners hang on to beat the Bengals in the 89 Super Bowl. Laetner's last second shot against Kentucky, to cap one of the greatest college games I have ever seen. Michael Jordon's sick game against Utah in the 97 Finals. This happened on my birthday, and it was one of the most gutsy performances I have ever seen. As for one of my all time favorite moments, this actually happend my Senior year in HS. I went to school in a area that also include De La Salle (one of the most dominating HS football programs in the US). And De La Salle also is usually good in every sport they participate in. This program has one multiple sectional titles/state titles. This is a HS that gets some of the best athletes in the area, so they usually will sport strong teams in every sport. Well my Sr year, we have a real good boys Volleyball team, which throughout the season wins a whole bunch of tourneys down south (usually the best volleyball teams in Cali are from So-Cal). So this team was very legit. We blow through our league, league playoffs, and the NCS (the section my HS is in) playoffs. And our final oppanent is the dreaded De La Salle, which was either the #1 seed, or we were, I forgot. I think they might have beaten us earlier in the year, so they are the favorite going into the finals. And this is type of school where you are suprised if they don't win, so many of us had a little doubt. I get off work, and go to the finals. Once I got there, the match had started, and my school was winning the first set. They go on to win that one. They lose the 2nd, and win the third. The fourth sees my team take a big lead, only to lose it, and the set. So we head to the 5th, as De La Salle looks to take the momentum, and win another title. And maybe any other year, they would win, but not this time. My team regains their composure, and this time they don't blow the lead. And the best part is once they match was over, all of the fans jumped onto the floor, cheering very loudly. I didn't go to many sporting events in my HS years, so I missed most of the celebrations of championships that my HS actually did win. So this was a time I got to see my team win it all, and I got to join in celebration. I had sandals on and those came flying off my feat, and I could have cared less. I was so happy. And the last thing I remember is seeing this one girl crying tears of joy. So that is one of my all time favorite sports memory, made even more sweeter in the fact we beat De La Salle. (I remember hearing one parent say "I don't care if we beat them in Tiddly Winks, as long as we beat them, I'm happy") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a deep drive to left center field and we will see you tomorrow night!! the crowd was going nuts and then the greatest game seven in world series history as Jack Morris pitches 10 shutout innings to win 1-0 on Gene Larkins bases loaded single.

The Tino Standard 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 2002... Browns' final game of the year, and it is a must-win against Michael Vick and the Falcons... I was sitting seven rows behind the Falcons' bench on the 50, and on three or four occasions, we talked with Ray Buchanan DURING THE GAME... The guy was so cool that at one point, I toasted him with my beer, yelling "You're my guy, Ray!" and he grabbed a cup of Gatorade and toasted back. Anyway, back to the game... Browns HAD to have the win to get to the playoffs for the first time since '94. They're down in the fourth quarter when William Green busts a 60-yard run, sending Cleveland Stadium into total pandemonium. I ran up and down the aisle, high-fiving everybody in site. I think I hugged the usher just for good measure. Probably one of the five drunkest days of my life, but GOD that ruled. Ohio State winning the national championship is a close No. 2. Just a classic game with a dramatic finish. Once it ended, we were all stunned with joy because having grown up in Cleveland, my teams have never won the big one... Sure the Indians won a couple pennants, but they lost the World Series both times. Browns and Cavs? Nope. Here, 14-point underdog Ohio State just won the national title. Awesome.
