Greatest moments in sports

For me it has to be the Boise St. vs. Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl in 2007. For one thing, I don't even like college football. It's pretty much last on my list of sports, though I do like the NFL. Also, I don't have any connections to either school. I never watch bowl games, but I watched this one because I had nothing else to do. Damn. This thing had more drama and insane twists than the most retarded Hollywood script. It had the perfect underdog ending. It had the most insane trick plays that even a high school football coach would blush at. It had heartbreak and transcendent joy within the space of minutes - for both sides! It even had a proposal by the player who scored the winning TD to his girlfriend on national TV moments after the finish. I still get goosebumps/teared up when I watch the highlights to this day. http://www.hulu.com/watch/5104/tosti...oma-highlights

Don't forget a very recent one, Federer v. Nadal in The Neverending Match.

LeBron's buzzer beater in game 2 v. Orlando was epic.

That is the best football play I've ever seen. I'm biased, being a Giants fan, but even now it makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

I hate the Giants but that Superbowl was incredible. What a finishing drive! Another top NFL play has to be the Immaculate Reception.
