Favourite Sports Moments - Fittisize - 28th April 2003
What are yours? One of mine have to be:
-Joe Carter hitting the homerun in the bottom of the ninth to win the Blue Jays second world series in a row.
I'll add more as you add more!

Hmm... Clemens being knocked out of the game in the '99 playoffs against Pedro and the Diamondbacks beating Mariano Rivera come to mind... :)
Favourite Sports Moments - Weltall - 28th April 2003
The Steelers being down by 17 in the AFC divisional playoffs this year and coming back to win in a last minute comeback. I yelled and cheered so much then that my voice still hasn't completely recovered.

When Son of Whyachi beat reigning champion Biohazard to take the heavyweight championship :D.

I love wyahchi

The DBacks beating Rivera was pretty good. And you can name pretty much any Michael Jordan playoff moment and I can put it amoung my favorites.
Favourite Sports Moments - LukeIsTerrified - 29th April 2003
In generally chronological order:
- Buffalo coming back from a 35-3 defecit to beat Houston 41-38 in the 1992 NFL playoffs.
- Toronto winning their first World Series in 1992 (Timlin to Carter, baby).
- Toronto vs. Philadelphia in the 2001 NBA Eastern Conference semifinals. Toronto lost game seven on a missed buzzer-beater, but it was probably the best NBA playoff series I've seen. Too bad Vince Carter hasn't been that good since then.
- Mike Mussina's near perfect game in 2001 vs. Boston. Wait a minute, this memory didn't have a happy ending either. Oh well. The only team I hated more than New York at the time was Boston, plus I had Mike Mussina on my fantasy team at the time, so following his bid for a perfect game was awesome. Unfortunately, that no-good asshole Carl Everett singled with two strikes and two outs in the ninth. SO CLOSE.
- Arizona beating New York in game 7 of the 2001 World Series.
And, of course...
- The Blue Jays scoring nine runs in the last three innings, including six runs in the ninth, to beat Mike MacDougal (whose downfall I keep predicting) and the Royals 10-9.
Well, maybe that one is just fresh in my memory...
EDIT: DMiller reminded me of Michael Jordan's game-winning <strike>push-off</strike> shot against Utah in the '98 NBA finals. Great moment.

Does it have to be pro sports? Because there was this one time when we were playing softball in junior high and when this girl was trying to catch the ball she got knocked in the face with it. Blood everywhere.
But she survived!
Favourite Sports Moments - A Black Falcon - 29th April 2003
I've hated the Blue Jays ever since they won that first World Series in the early '90s... its nice to see them being so bad these days. :)
Oh, and I just can't think of a better one than Arizona beating the Yankees. That was just so great...
The Patriots winning the Super Bowl was pretty nice too, and it'd be higher on my list if I liked football more...
Favourite Sports Moments - Geno - 29th April 2003
My favorite sports moment was when that bomb went off in Atlanta back in the 1996 Olympics. j/k (I know, I have a sick sense of humor.)
Favourite Sports Moments - Great Rumbler - 29th April 2003
When Tommy Lasorda got hit by a flying baseball bat. :)
Favourite Sports Moments - alien space marine - 29th April 2003
Crazed fans attacking a empire at a yankee game.
Favourite Sports Moments - Great Rumbler - 29th April 2003
AGH! How could I forget the shirtless father and son duo!
Favourite Sports Moments - Dark Lord Neo - 29th April 2003
My favority was when some chick playing volleyballs shirt got caught on the net and ripped off when she was running to the other side of the net since the teams were switching sides for their next game.
Favourite Sports Moments - Fittisize - 29th April 2003
The Edmonton Oilers coming back from a 3-1 series defficit against the Avalanche to win the round. Cujo made the save of the seris then...AWESOME.
And, also the Raptors/76ers series was awesome. I agree, Luke, best ever NBA series.
Randy Johnson pegging off a dove.
Hideo Nomo's no hitter (that was cool)
And Canada winning the Gold Medal in the Olympic Men's Ice Hockey in the 2002 Olympics! So awesome!
Still, the Jays two World Series in a row.
Donavin Bailey beating Ben Johnson in a 150 m run to determine who was the ultimate fastest runner in the world. It was a Canada vs. USA thing. Bailey set world records for the 100 m run, and Johnson for 200. So in an effort to determine who was the fastest in the world, they raced. Johnson pulled a muscle right around the turn where Bailey passed him...Bailey called him a coward and I agreed
And I'm really enjoying the Expos season this year.
When our soccer team won the provincial championships as the best team in the province...(really cool)

I'll be much more interested in MLB if Richmond gets the Majors team they're after. I think it's the Expos.

Of course in retrospect half the canadian population's intrest in mlb will decline.
I was going to say somthing else but now I can't remember, but I'm sure as soon as I hit submit I will

That's okay. I'm more important than half of Canada.
Besides, you guys still have the Blue Jays. And hockey. We don't have any pro teams in any sport.
Favourite Sports Moments - A Black Falcon - 30th April 2003
Either Washington DC or Northern Virginia will almost certianly get the team... I don't give Portland, Oregon that much of a chance in comparison... so it'll probably be Washington DC or Arlington... its really too bad they have to move but with those crowd sizes and NO support for a new stadium they really have no choice.

Unless these investors have their way

I pledged money for it

That never happens when we play volleyball in gym class:(
Favourite Sports Moments - N-Man - 30th April 2003
Pyro: I've got this hunch it has to do with the fact there are no 'chicks' in our gym class.
Favourite Sports Moments - Weltall - 30th April 2003
I hope DC doesn't get them. They've already got the fucking Orioles. Richmond hasn't had a moment in the sun since we were the capital of the Confederacy. It's our goddamn turn!
Favourite Sports Moments - A Black Falcon - 30th April 2003
The Orioles are in Baltimore... like half an hour away.... and they're awful, too...
Favourite Sports Moments - Fittisize - 30th April 2003
Screw Virginia. I wouldn't want the wonderful name of the 'Expos' tainted by a city like Richmond. :D (wait, they'd probably call them to 'hawks'or some dumb name like that) Vancouver deserves an MLB team, or maybe give it to San Juan in Peurto Rico.
