Named Sporting Moments?

[Whisper]

Rumble in the Jungle.

And anything where the names Gatti & Ward are together.

[Colly]

The Pele World Cup.

[HailtotheYo]

The Choke at Doak (1994 FSU vs UF)

The Shot (Jordan 1989 Eastern Conference Finals Game 5)

The Guarantee (Joe Namath Super Bowl III - Mark Messier 1994 Eastern Conference Finals Game 6)

[munky]

The Music City Miracle.

[GhostMachine]

The Greatest Game Ever Played - Baltimore Colts over the New York Giants, 23-17 in overtime, December 28, 1958

The Play - California beats Stanford 25-20 on a last second kickoff return, November 20, 1982. California uses 5 lateral passes to score a touchdown, going through Stanford's band who took the field while the play was still going on. John Elway was the losing QB, and it was his last college game.

*edit* here's the video. Play close attention to what happens around the :29 or :30 mark.

Besides The Play and the Music City Miracle, there are also the River City Relay (Saints vs. Jags, but the Saints lost by one point; the play would have tied the game, but the Saints' kicker missed the extra point) and the Mississippi Miracle (two NCAA Division III schools that no one gives a damn about)

Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park 1979 ... you're welcome.

 

[Gazz]

Wait. You can pass the ball more than once per play in American Football?

[Meacon Keaton]

As long as the passes are backwards, yes. You can only throw it forward one time and you must be behind the line of scrimmage.

[Gazz]

Ah, the behind the line of scrimmage is the key bit. I was wondering why players wouldn't just pass like they do in Rugby.

One for each of my teams

The Miracle on Manchester - The Kings come back from 5 goals down to beat the heavily favored Oilers and eventually knock them out of the playoffs.

Point Four - Derek Fisher scores with 0.4 seconds on the clock to beat San Antonio.

Gibson's Homerun - I've talked about it before, but it's the number one moment in LA sports history. Kirk Gibson, injured, not playing, pinch hits and sends a bomb to right field of the best reliever in baseball in Game One of a World Series the Dodgers are heavy underdogs in, and they go on to win.

Bo versus The Boz - so many for the Raiders, but I'll go with one I actually saw. Brian Bosworth had been talking much shit about Bo Jackson, until Bo ran him, and the Seattle Seahawks, over on Monday Night Football

[RoHitman Reigns]

Eagles and Jets fans alike cringe at the reminder of the buttfumble.
