Ohio State’s 2002 season. There were dozens of times during the season where it could have ended, but they always found a way to win.

When Cie Grant broke through to Dorsey in the second overtime, we lost our minds.


Lol...must be nice to forget the BS phantom call against Miami


But like others, the 1998 HR race was just fantastic. Living in Chicago at the time, it was crazy. Every Cubs home game was an event. I was there the day Sammy hit 61 and 62 against the Brewers. The place was crazy.

Also, older the Twins win streak of 15 in 1991 was a little crazy considering they did not have the guns other did have.

The Braves worst to first run in 1991. That was so fun for me as a 10 year old to watch... Then have my heart ripped out by Puckett, Morris, and f'n Kent Hrbek in the WS.


I am just laughing at this since Chili Davis was on the 91 Twins...

The Saints Super Bowl run was the most fun I’ve ever had. Such an insane season. Nfc championship game win win grown men crying. There will never be another party like that again.



This was so awesome. There were a few times late in that season where I really thought they were going to go 16-0. The Dolphins game probably was the first sign, then the Redskins game was nuts as well. If you remember how that Cowboys game even went, Dallas actually missed a gimme FG to put it away right at the end of the game to give us one last chance. After that miss, I truly thought we were going to win that game and the last two games. Unfortunately, Drew got sacked and we ended up losing the last 3.

But that playoff run was so fun. Coming out and boat racing the Cardinals and then that Vikes NFCCG. The super bowl was just icing on the cake.

This year kind of had a similar feel to it as we were going through that win streak. I was locked in. I listened to pregame radio, The Point After, and read all the stories during the week. The city even had that similar feel. Going to the games was so much fun again.

The Baby Bombers and Danny Almonte, until everyone knew he was older, was fascinating. Especially since I was the same age as MOST of those kids.

Messi, best soccer player I have ever seen. He would average 30 touchdowns a year.

Mason was hard not to follow given LSU also got to the Final Four.

I'm not a Fresno State fan but I really enjoyed their run to the title in baseball in 2008.

Fresno was a 4 seed in the Regional.

The Dunk City run was one of the most insane periods in sports IMO. From the gifs to the highlights, it legit felt like living in a video game.

- The Panthers 15-1 season then them annihalating the NFC competition in playoffs
- SF vs SEA Rivalry 2011-2014
- PIT vs BAL (vs NE) 2009-2012

Watching Stephon Marburg eat Vaseline on Justin.tv and wondering if he was going to kill himself.

Looking back on it, had that happened today it wouldnt be that big of a deal because now everyone goes live on Facebook or twitter to do stupid shite, but when Starbury did it then, it was appointment viewing. The thread on TD was great.
