George Teague stealing the ball from some Miami receiver and running it back for a TD in the Sugar Bowl, January 1993.

whoatommy · 05-21-09, 03:41 AM

Super Bowl XL
Steelers v. Seahawks
the refs gave that game to the Steelers...many blatant calls favoring the Steelers

2006 NBA Championship
Miami v. Dallas
the DWade + referee show...

Buffalo v. Ball State
MAC Championship December 5, 2008....Blatant miss call against Ball State even after referee camera review

you see the trend....makes me want to take up a different hobby

Dolphins beat Jets to go to SuperBowl. AJ Duhe intercepted Richard Todd for a pick 6. I was at the Orange Bowl that day and stormed the field after the win.

kane01 · 05-21-09, 09:48 AM

Mine was when vince carter put his elbow into the rim. That should that he can fly.

Rick22 · 05-21-09, 10:01 AM

Showing my age - but when I was a kid I saw Harvey Haddix pitch 13 perfect innings against the Milwaukee Braves. Then an error, a walk, and a Joe Adcock double and he lost 1-0 to Lew Burdette.

Chi_archie · 05-21-09, 10:03 AM

Sid Bream chugging around 3rd to beat a lame ass throw from Barry Bonds to beat the pirates in game 7 of the 1992 nl championship..... i've never been the same nor have the Pirates had a winning season since...

pavyracer · 05-21-09, 10:16 AM

The hand of God in Mexico 1986. I had a huge bet on England and when Maradona scored with his hand I threw a bottle at the TV.

BestPlay2day · 05-21-09, 10:19 AM

For me, the 1987 World Series game 7 when the Twins won their 1st World Series. Also game 6 & 7 of the 1991 World Series, 2 of the best games I have seen.

paco · 05-21-09, 11:29 AM

Kobes 81 point outburst!

AgainstAllOdds · 05-21-09, 11:31 AM

Any Yankees game. A special one that comes to mind is the game where Brett Boone hit the game winning HR. There was magic in the stadium that night.

Also when Carmelo led Syracuse to a NCAA championship.

Mudcat · 05-21-09, 11:34 AM

For me, this topic is all about Canada defending our hockey honor on the international stage. Highlight moments:

Paul Henderson in '72.
Mike Bossy tip of the Paul Coffey shot from the point in OT '84.
Gretzky to Lemieux with Murphy as the decoy '87.

Other great, great memories which didn't have quite the same defining moments:

Gold Medal in Salt Lake City 2002.
Gold Medal Canada Cup 1976
Gold Medal Canada Cup 1991
Gold Medal World Cup 2004

UConn v. Syracuse 6 overtime game. Talk about high intensity in 70 minutes of basketball.

whoatommy · 05-21-09, 11:51 AM

David Ortiz against the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS. Red Sox winning the series after being down 3 games to none. David Ortiz in game 4 and game 5 hitting game winners in each.

whoatommy · 05-21-09, 11:55 AM

Detroit Pistons v. Indiana Pacers, November 2004. The fight that broke out between Ron Artest and Ben Wallace, and then eventually Piston fans..lol I saw that live and couldn't believe my eyes

jgbgsox · 05-21-09, 12:02 PM

I was just a kid as well and only knew about that one the day after in the papers, but sure as hell remember that one. Here's another one you probably remember and tell me if it was about the same for you:

Bill Mazeroski's homer to end the 1960 World Series. Up until that point in my life, I had listened to my dad and uncles and all their friends go on and on and on about Bobby Thomson's homer in the 1951 NL playoffs. Maz' homer gave me something to remember and talk about for years.

A few more on my list:

The 1969 Super Bowl, Jets upset the Colts, we had just gotten our first color TV the day before and dad barely got the antenna hooked up in time for the Super Bowl, first thing we ever watched in color in our home.
Nov 20, 1978: Oilers beat Dolphins 35-31 on MNF, was at the Astrodome for that one, an amazing back-&-forth game capped by Earl Campbell's 81-yd TD run in the 4th quarter when everyone -- E V E R Y O N E -- in the stadium knew he was about to get the ball.
1980 NLCS: Even though my Astros fell to the Phillies in the best of 5 series, some of the best baseball I've seen, and I attended Game 3-4-5 at the Astrodome.
Chris Burke's homer in the 18th inning of Game 4 of the 2005 NLDS. About a week later, being so disappointed when Albert Pujols homered to win Game 5 of the NLCS, even though Houston won two nights later for their first NL Pennant, broke my heart that after following the team since its inception in 1962, I was robbed by Pujols of being at the stadium when they could have clinched that NL Flag.

1999 Red Sox Indians ALDS when Pedro came out of the bullpen. That 3 year stretch of 1998 to 2000 was unreal for Pedro. Fenway wasn't all pink hat yuppy fans, but you had the Dominicans waving their flags, and the drunk micks in the stands, great times.

Rick22 · 05-21-09, 12:49 PM

Willie,
Don't remember the Maz home run - was bitter and kind of lost interest in baseball when the Braves left town. But who doesn't remember Joe Willy and that upset. Remember there were rumors after that game that he had been out the night before partying with a few good looking chicks while wearing his fur coat. He said it was a lie - he didn't wear the fur coat!
