THis one for me is just so amazing. With 15 seconds left the odds of Edmonton winning had to be over 1,000,000:1

Most shocking was when Tyson bit Holyfield's ear off.

Best comeback ever on monday night football when manning came back from 3 touchdowns down with a few minutes left against the Bucs was my favorite.

Buckner's error in 1986, and Kirk Gibson's home run.

It's a pick 'em....... :eek:

I was talking about this game to a buddy last week. I'll never forget betting the Colts and turning off the game and going to sleep thinking I lost then waking up and finding out I won. Huge swing for myself that week. I always think of that game when I take a terrible beat.

This is still the only sporting event that I can watch over and over and it still draws a huge emotional charge from me.

I second that motion. Nothing better than when Jack sunk that putt on 17 to take over the lead by himself... Verne Lundquist "YES SIR!!!!"

How about when Ron Artest and company went up in the stands and fought some fans???Talk about idiots of the year all around there! How any of them ever played in the NBA again is beyond me...I could see if the fans came down on the floor and they were defending themselves, but that was straight up terrible. I remember watching it and going OMG, sports has gotten to the point where fans have to worry about being attacked by players for talking shit..

I had myself convinced my entire life that my Red Sox would never win the World Series. So when they actually did win it in 2004 I kept waiting for the sound of the alarm clock.

Doug Flutie's hail mary completion to Gerard Phelan on 11/23/84 to secure a Boston College win over Miami was unbelievable.

The "unmitigated savagery", to quote a sports writer, of the 4/15/85 Marvelous Marvin Hagler vs. Thomas "The Hit Man" Hearns match at Ceaser's Palace in Vegas provided me with three of the most unbelievable rounds of boxing action I had seen.

Franz Klammer's gold medal winning downhill run in the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Games.

I couldn't believe the difficult circumstances speed skater Dan Jansen faced when competing in the 500 meters and 1000 meters only hours after having learned his sister had died from leukemia.

My favorite "Can't Believe it Moment" has already been mentioned on this thread, but I will never forget it as long as I live and will always get goose bumps when I think of it or see a replay of it, and that's the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team's defeat of the U.S.S.R. team to advance further in the playoff rounds.
