Most Remarkable Sports Moment

All of 05 is just a moment by itself for me. But anyways, I know it's kind of lame since they ended up getting knocked out next round but Donovan's goal last summer in the WC to send the Americans to the knock out stage was amazing for me, personally.

 

I don't like soccer.. actually I kind of hate it, but I was watching this game, and I got REALLY excited when that goal happened.. I could only imagine what it felt like to someone emotionally involved in it.

Devin Hester owned it every time he touched the ball his rookie year. Awe-inspiring.

 

The SB 41 kickoff return was a great moment.

 

I watched this on a bunny-ear antenna TV on my way out of work.. it actually felt like the Bears were going to win.. for that moment.

 

I have two moments, both in recent memory. One is Buehrle's perfect game. I'll never forget yelling at my mom to get her ass downstairs to see the last inning. I had only seen the end of one other no-hitter live (Wilson Alvarez, 1991), and I had never watched an entire no-hitter from beginning to end, much less a perfect game, so this was my first time really feeling the excitement build and it was thrilling.

 

My other is Roy Halladay's no-hitter in the playoffs. It was another one of those times that I didn't even expect to finish watching the game, but it was on in the background while I was getting ready to take my lady out for her birthday. As we were about to leave, it was the 7th inning and what was going on had finally triggered. She came into the room and she could tell I was watching something intently, so she looked at the TV as the boxscore showed up and she goes "holy s***! no hitter!" So, we watched the rest of the game and went to dinner about an hour and a half later than we had anticipated. This was the first time outside of the end of a World Series that I actually got really excited for something happening for someone other than a White Sox player.

Speaking of great soccer moments, the Brandi Chastain winner in the world cup.

 

 

 

 

I dont think it would be that memorable if she hadn't taken her shirt off during the celebration.

Late to the party but my fave moment hands down was MJ breaking down on Father's Day while clutching the game ball after winning his 4th NBA title...it always chokes me up when I watch that.

 

My next favorite sports moments are Sweetness breaking the all time rushing record (screw Emmitt Smith) and the White Sox winning it all in 05.

As far as most "remarkable" moments in sports, I'll have the say the moment Jim McKay announced the murder of the 11 Isreali athletes at the '76 Munich games.

 

Man, that whole time was memorable. Glued to the TV. Turned me against haters to this day, probably made me a liberal :lol:

Kirk Gibson's homer against Eckersley.

 

Also, I know this will piss off some, but Michael Phelps winning by the slighest margin possible a few years ago in the Olympics was pretty remarkable.

Some being me; the only person rooting against Phelps and for Cavic.

 

Cavic won.

I hate conspiracy theorists. Phelps won.

 

Its amazing how the Music City Miracle and Phelps v Cavic are still questioned even though there is video evidence confirming the rulings.

Cavic touched first, Phelps touched with more force. Pretty sure this has been confirmed. There is no conspiracy. The clock registered Phelps' touch first. And all the video evidence and digital images offer no conclusive evidence of anything.

Not sure about that

 

Serbian swimming officials had plenty to say, protesting the result. Officials from FINA, the sport’s international governing body, broke down the video to the 10-thousandth of a second, then upheld Phelps’s victory. “It’s very clear that the Serbian swimmer touched second after Michael Phelps,” the FINA referee Ben Ekumbo said.

 

FINA’s executive director, Cornel Marculescu, said the Serbian team was then given the chance to watch the footage themselves and did not choose to take their protest to the second and final level by seeking recourse from a jury of appeal.

Watched that from my 10th room at the Hyatt in Cincinatti. A few minutes later, the Cubs-Reds game finished up and I was treated to the best fireworks show I've ever seen right outside my window.

It shows Phelps' fingers bending backwards and Cavic's barely touching. Which means Phelps was about an inch closer to the wall.

That's fine and well, but Phelps' hands came down on the pad, while Cavic's came in straight.

So what? If Phelps' fingers are bent backwards and Cavic's are not, then Phelps must have touched the pad first. Simple momentum.

 

Look at the photo-the tips of Phelps' fingers are bent backwards, it's not just his hand coming in at an angle.

huh??

 

So Cavic touched first and its pretty much been confirmed. Then you said all video and digital images offer nothing conclusive one way or the other. Makes no sense.
