Patriots vs Raiders Snow Game/Tuck Rule which began 20 yrs of New England football dominance!

Slade · 56-60, M

@lovelychicadee even as a Pats fan I knew that tuck rule was contrived bullshit. Thankfully it's gone now

It was right after 9-11. I think the NFL just wanted to sell more red, white and blue merch

DiMaggio 56 game hitting streak. I know it is a string of moments but to do this for 56 games is beyond incredible. Hitting a baseball is the singular most difficult act in sports. Getting a hit 1/3 of the time is considered excellent. If a doctor was successful 1/3 of the time….well you know.

So I give Joltin Joe the nod.

@Coldplay i would say, along with that season McGuire and Bonds went back and forth with homeruns, but that soured after everything came out with PEDs, what a shame, that was an electric summer

Miracle on Ice, USA beats USSR - 1980
Pats beat Seattle in Super Bowl XLIX
Pats beat Atlanta in Super Bowl LI
Red Sox break the curse, beat the Yankees and win the World Series in 2004

@Adogslife oh yeah, the Sox came back from 0-3 against the Yankees....

lovelychicadee · 46-50, F

That Sox game is right up there. Such an amazing moment!@Adogslife

SilkandLace2 · 46-50, M

@lovelychicadee well they were down 3 GAMES to none and came back, AMAZING!!

lovelychicadee · 46-50, F

Can't forget about the amazing women athletes. The 1996 American Women's Gymnastic Team will always be such an inspirational group. I watched them for years as a teen and now they are all such amazing women doing remarkable things.

Probably the miracle on ice. The US played college kids, and the USSR played well-seasoned men. It never should have happened.

Jack Nicklaus final round of the 1986 Masters.

Miracle on Ice.

BeachGirl47 · 26-30, F

@Forgetthepast some say its the greatest

There have been many great sports moments but for me it would have to be a preteen memory. The Pirates Bill Mazeroski hitting a walk off home run to win the 60 World Series. I was just developing an interest in sports when it happened.

JohnnyNoir · 56-60, M

Super Bowl III

Cantsayno · 56-60, M

TheFragile · 46-50, M

eli1601 · 70-79, M

@JustEd But Minnesota also went worse to first in 1991 and won the World Series

JustEd · 41-45, M

@eli1601 They were a fun team too. But they didn’t come on TBS😂

rissa · 22-25, F

The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Men's Hockey Final, Canada vs. US

Cassius Clay refusing induction into the US Armed Forces. He was stripped of his championship for 3 years citing his religious beliefs and claiming Conscience Objector status only to be reinstated by the US Supreme Court. He resumed fighting winning the Heavyweight Championship twice thereafter.

It's depends on where you from
When Ireland beat the All Black's
When Ireland won 6 nations and triple crown

Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F

When that team did that thing and won the game

Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M

@Pinkstarburst Yeah, yeah, you're all cool and detached until the Razorbacks have a big game.....

Soossie

1988, BLA … Magic playing against Bird ..

Slade · 56-60, M

@Soossie You also had the epic 1984 finals Magic vs Bird. Only time Celtics beat them head to head. Series turned on this classic old school play.

I could watch this a million times

OCguy · M

Immaculate reception...

Justafantasy · M

I think it's cool Garrett Reynolds just got sole possession of the most x games gold medals.

The athletes that do a lot for charity without even wanting acknowledgement for it is probably the greatest sports moment

justanothername · 51-55, M

Team New Zealand won The Americas Cup in San Diego in 1995 5-0 over Dennis Conner.
The Americas Cup is the oldest sporting trophy in the world.

Slade · 56-60, M

1980 Olympic men's hockey beating the Soviet Union and ending up with gold.

There are a few SW characters who probably cried themselves to sleep that night 😁
