Greatest moments in sports history

[rachelbean]

This is my personal favorite moment (and what I associate with being responsible for my love of baseball) , but it would probably be a little boring to anybody who doesn't understand the history behind what lead up to it:

A hot chick who appreciates the Gibby homer! I love you.

What seals the memory in my head is that I have a strong memory of my grandpa saying, "Ya lazy bum, ya lazy bum...THAT'S MY BOY! THAT'S MY BOY!"

These moments will stick with me forever.

John Aloisi sending us to the 2006 world cup its a moment that everyone in Australia who witnessed it remembers it i almost knocked myself out running into the wall in my bedroom in celebration.



World Cup 2006 when super timmy cahill and the lads stuffed the japs 3-1 fuck yeah the first time i saw the video again i cried when i watched the match i was too busy going mental and waking up the whole house and probably the neighbourhood.



Port Adelaide winning the 2004 AFL premiership


Words do not and will describe the last video adequately.

Needing to beat league leaders Liverpool by two clears goals, Michael Thomas scores Arsenal's second goal in the final minute, of the final game of the league season, beating Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield and winning the championship by a single goal.

Any Lancashire vs Yorkshire victory (for Lancs.) in the cricket.

When finally it's understood that sport is boring-as-fuck mindless rubbish. Sadly, that moment has not yet yet occurred

I always find it odd when a person takes the time to shit all over something that a huge majority are interested in. Right now in the States, the far-and-away most talked-about TV show each week is Lost, by a huge margin. I don't watch it and don't care, but I'm glad that so many people are getting so much enjoyment from it, and from their shared experience. Their lives (and therefore mine) are surely a bit better for it.

Back on topic.

For me personally, the greatest sport moment is the last two minutes of this:



But I think for the world, it's this:

Ah yes ... that. The following morning, a friend of mine walked up to me and exclaimed "there is a God!". And he's a Spurs fan*.

*Disclaimer: That's my friend, not God. Maybe the fact that his father and older brother are Liverpool fans had something to do with it ....

Then, ten years to the very day, this happened:



I still prefer Alan Greene's commentary on BBC radio though:



... even if this clip does leave out the "Oh, Teddy, Teddy ..." bit.

Those who don't understand do not matter.

You're right. It's just as meaningless rubbish as music, art, gourmet cooking, and a lot of other stuff that makes life beautiful and interesting.

1974, Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman (The Rumble in the Jungle).

That was a dark day for me. I wanted Foreman to beat the snot out of Ali so bad.

After this fight George became bitter.

Is that when he started marketing in-home grills?

A lot of people are interested in religion. I think we can all agree that it's rubbish. Sport to me is the same; it's incomprehensible to me how anyone could find anything of value or interest in something so mind-numbingly inane. If other people enjoy it, great. Good for them. Whatever. But that doesn't mean I'll ever understand it. Just like I'll never accept Jesus-the-Christ as my personal lord and savior, similarly I'll never fathom the attraction to or appeal of sports. My brain must be lacking certain receptors or something, cuz there's simply no connection being made.
