ESPN's Moments of the Decade

I just saw this on ESPN.com. Going through the list brought back a lot of memories, especially the Boise State - Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl. I still remember that night and how unbelievable the game was. Enjoy :)

I don't know too much about sports, but I certainly remember one from hockey:

Montreal Canadiens 6-5 shootout win over the New York Rangers after trailing 5-0.

Pretty good list, at first glance I watched 15 of those live. More than anything i'll remember the 04' ALCS/WS, I watched pretty much all of that with my dad.

No '02 NFC WC a.k.a the second biggest comeback in NFL playoff history? LAME

Also, are these games or moments b/c not including Phelps, Bonds 73 HRs, or Bond's 756 HRs is a joke.

It's snuffed by the fact that the Jazz destroyed them in the next series.

Was it a 7 games series?

Saying baseball is not exciting is your opinion. Breaking Hank Aaron's record was absolutely huge to say the least. I bet you if AROID does it, they'd have that as a moment next decade or whenever. :roll:

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="Renegade_Fury"] He broke what so many called the most sacred record in all of sports. It's just more hating as per usual even though for some reason it's ok to forget about AROID, Big Pappy, and so on. Also where is the Warriors historical upset over the Mavs?

ESPN topic was best GAMES, not moments that is why Bonds is not on there

[QUOTE="Renegade_Fury"]

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] Twas not historic (see Nuggets over Sonics) -not really a single great game to put on there And baseball in not exciting anyways...let alone Bonds setting a false record...the public would be more forgiving if he came clean (look at Giambi or Petit vs Clemons)rawsavon

Read my other post...best games, not moments...hence no Bonds
And I think all the football games on that list are better than the 49ers one
-though the 49ers game is better than the other sports they have on there

[QUOTE="Renegade_Fury"]

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] Sonics was a 5 game series (best of 5 back then) You are right about ARoid though...media hates bonds...but he was an ass to them as wellrawsavon

Again, that's your opinion. I couldn't give a rat's ass about the fiesta bowl and especially the texas tech game for example. The niners making the second greatest comeback in NFL playoff history is an infinitely better game to me. If Bonds is going to get ignored for that, then I say the Warriors series should be mentioned after seeing the Lakers vs. Celtic series on there. There weren't any decade defining games in it, but the only reason it's there is because of the teams who played and that of course it was in the Finals.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]

[QUOTE="Renegade_Fury"] I know it was, I was asking if you knew. The Warriors upset is historical, but I'm not surprised it wasn't there due to this being BSPN and all. The lack of the '02 NFC WC and Bonds' HR records piss me off though. Who cares if he was an ass? It's a historical moment even if haters want to pretend it didn't happen.

You get really upset about sports huh?

Only if it's my teams that gets screwed, but this is a BSPN article so I can't say I'm surprised. Being on the west coast, you almost become accustomed to it.

Renegade_Fury

Why do you care though?
You are not on the team.

You just seem like the type that gets upset if someone talks trash about your team.
It is just a game that you are watching, nothing more...unless you are Frank "bad knees" Gore...then be upset :P

I mean you can say all you want to about Dallas...it is all true...no reason for me to care...I am not playing

B/C it's my passion. Watching sports is my hobby, and it gives me a few hours to escape reality. You have your own interests, and this is mine. I don't care if anyone disses my teams for playing poorly, but I do get upset if they don't get recognized for their accomplishments.

Just as much a hobby for me I imagine:
listen to espn radio 8 hrs a day at work, PTI is my #1 show, watch sportcenter everyday
love the Cowboys, Texas Tech (Alma matter), love/hate with the Mav's, not a baseball guy though

I just don't get upset about it
-used to when I was a kid, but not for many years now
-no point ...why be upset...we did not play
-dallas loses (often) and I am like damn...oh well

The only thing that bothers me is listening to false hate on ESPN for a week after Dallas loses
-Romo sucks...blah, blah, blah (really no picks in last 2 games, 600 yds, etc)
-But I support all the legit criticism (wade phillips, defense, etc)

Sorry guys. On the ESPN home page it said moments but it really was games. I should have clarified that
