as a sports fan, have you ever experienced a moment like the Minneapolis Miracle?

I was at that game! Only thing you heard in that stadium was screams of our players and crazies like me. I left my seats and ran around the hallway screaming. Lucky didn't get my butt kicked. Charger fans are so nice man lol

i really enjoyed that one because the chargers were considered a serious super bowl contender that year and it seemed like everybody was just writing the panthers off, especially with steve smith suspended.  hell i think dwayne jarrett even made a play or two in that game if memory serves.

I could live to be 1,000 and would still never experience more joy from sports than the ‘04 Red Sox run from Game 4 of the ALCS to winning the WS.  I could make a top 100 moments from that eleven day period alone.  Even the off days felt like some surreal dream.

Jamie McMurray winning the Daytona 500 in 2010 has a pretty solid lock on second place.

Those two were always on another plane from the rest, but the last five year’s have been pretty good to me for individual moments...

The rest of the top tier of best individual moments:
2013 - Arjen Robben’s goal in Champion’s League Final
2014 - Mario Götze’s goal in World Cup Final
2015 - American Pharoah wins Triple Crown
2017 - Luke Maye’s shot

Others receiving votes
Red Sox: obviously both the other two WS titles are there, but nothing could top ‘04.  My best in person game for any sport was an insane back and forth Sox game in ‘05 against Tampa Bay.  I was physically and emotionally exhausted afterwards

Tar Heels: ‘05 was my favorite title overall because it really was my first (I was barely eleven in ‘93) and ‘09 was my favorite team, but last year was my favorite tournament run

Hornets: Alonzo Mourning’s shot; ‘02 First Round Game 4 (attended) to put away the Magic

Panthers: ‘03 game @Tampa (which I attended) and of course X-Clown are the top two Panther moments.  I think the thing that differentiates Luke Maye from X-Clown is that one led to a championship

Tar Heels football: easily Gio Bernard’s punt return against NC State

Other: any of Federer’s Grand Slams but especially the ‘09 Wimbledon and last year’s Aussie

Everybody remembers the first Panthers-Bucs game that season, but we rarely talk about the second.  That game was great too.

This was the game where Simeon Rice guaranteed victory.

At 3:45, you'll hear Warren Sapp saying their four point lead would be "enough to ice they ass".  A little over a minute later, you get to see Sapp looking at the ground in shame and defeat.

That was the game I started to believe this team was special.

Wasn't Rucker.  It was a CBS graphics guy who screwed it up in that game.

Part of me still thinks that was deliberate, some idiot in the graphics department just being a bunghole,

OK. Yeah, that sounds about right now that I think about it.

I get that not many people are fans of hockey much less the Hurricanes, but they've had some surreal moments.

The Shock At The Rock: Trailing 3-2 with 1:20 remaining in game 7 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals @ New Jersey, Jussi Jokinen and Eric Staal scored to send the Canes to the semi-finals.

The Molson Miracle: Trailing 3-0 heading into the third period against the Canadains in game 4 of the 2002 Stanley Cup Playoff's, the Canes stormed back to win 4-3 in OT.

Those are just a couple that come to mind.

if you haven't, I hope you do at some point.  I've had a couple, but from my college teams.

 

Fan since 2011, closest thing was the Colts in 2015 for sure when Ginn dropped the walk off TD and almost lost the game but we still won off a FG in OT.
