As sports fans, we all remember those great moments (Wreckless' Phillies winning the World Series for example).

What are YOUR greatest sports moments ever?

Eagles in the '04 playoffs- heading to the superbowl
Phillies world championship (and the run behind it)

When the Redskins won the SB in 1992 after beating the Bills in Minneapolis (Sorry FSU)
We went 14-2 that year and was very dominant. We started out 11-0 until we lost to the damn Cowboys. We also lost to the *cough* Eagles. LOL

Also, when the Houston Rockets won the NBA title in 1995 after beating the Orlando Magic. I was finally happy to see Clyde Drexler finally win a ring after failing to do so in Portland.

I don't remember the Eagles beating the Skins that year Mike lol. NFC East was a beast in the late '80s-'90s. Two Giants SB wins, 2 Skins SB wins, the 3 Dallas wins, and Eagles get nothing of course :lol:. We had some great teams in those 10 years and in that span. Unfortunately, we had some bad luck, injuries and everybody else in the division was excellent, so we picked a bad time and period to be good. I think our best shot was 1992 when we had the best defense, probably ever in the NFL and in '88 in the Fog Bowl. That Fog Bowl was totally unfair, even Mike Ditka agreed when he talked about it on Monday Night Live a month ago.

But anyway, I remember Hak on that Rockets team as well. I think Barkley came in 2-4 years later right? Cause I know Rudy Tomjanovich was the coach of that '95 team, but Charles hadn't been their yet and was still with Phoenix at the time.

The Red Sox winning the World Series in 2004.

All the Super Bowl wins in the 70s. Also the Super bowl win against the Seahawks.. Whose Fans are still Whining about. :rolleyes:

Bandito, do you watch any other sports besides football? Just wondering.

oh ok. Are you a Penguins fan or no?

Yep.

What about NBA? Ever followed it?

Barkley cam 2 years later, 2 years too late. The Dream, Clyde, and Sir Charles were tool old by that time. They gave up so much to get Charles and they had no bench. I wanted to see the Rockets and Bulls in the finals that year, but the Jazz beat the Rockets in the Western Conference finals in game 5 or six I believe. John Stockton hit a three-point at the buzzer to eliminate them. I was hurtin' for days after that.

Yeah I remember all that. The Jazz didn't have the greatest bench either though, that I can at least remember. They had 2 or 3 guys off the bench, but besides that.....

They had Stockton and Malone, and those two were so good and consistant and durable, I hated them both. LOL

lol yeah. I hated Malone, only because he was cocky in his game and personally. I think Stockton was just a low key guy, that had a lot of speed and energy, that he could of used on the court.

Do you still watch the Rockets nowadays?

When Tony Gwynn hit a home run at Yankee Stadium in 1998.
When Bobby Ross took the Chargers to the playoffs after an 0-4 start in '92.
Randall Cunningham scaring defenses when he played for the Eagles.
When Bobby Ross took the Chargers to the Super Bowl.
When Vanderjact missed that field goal with the Colts that lead the Steelers to the Super Bowl.

Speaking of that Colts-Steelers game WF, do you remember Peyton Manning talking crap about his o line, saying they would of won if they protected him? LOL.

I just remembered thinking, this guy can't take due for the loss ,as the QB, and has to resort to blaming everybody else but himself like T.O., all the time.

Yeah, I actually jumped back on their bandwagon when Rick Adelman became their coach. :lol: Remember, I was a Trailblazer fan when Adelman was their coach. So I am sort of rooting for him to get a ring.

BTW, Karl Malone was a dirty player. He was all knees and elbows.

Today the YES network (The Yankees channel) played the classic 1976 championship game between the Yanks and the Royals where 1st baseman Chris Chambliss hit the pennant winning homer in the bottom of the ninth.
We were going nuts in my house during that game. Looking at the replay, it's still a very exciting game even after all these years.

Yeah. I forgot he was the TB coach at one time. I just remember him from being the Kings coach. I loved all those teams he had in Sacramento.

Hell yeah he was.

He also coached The Warriors, but he was gone after about a year or two. But he has been a successful coach, record wise. He just never won the big won.

I was a Kings fans while he was there too. Ironically, that franchise started in my city and won it's only title in 1951.

Oh yeah. I think they got jipped the one year- around 2002 when they played LA in the conf. finals. They should of won & Tim Donaghey reffed the whole rest of the series- when the kings were up in the series.

I knew I wasn't the only one that thought the Kings got screwed that year.

Yeah definitely.

When the Indians made it to the World Series in 1995 and 1997 - but my saddest moments are when they lost!! So it's a bittersweet thing.

when the Colts won their first Super Bowl since moving to Indianapolis in the 2006-2007 season

Eagles losing NFC Wildcard game in 91
Cowboys winning SB in 92/93/95
Lakers beating 76ers in 2001
Eagles losing SB in 05

What about NBA? Ever followed it?Never got into NBA. If I'm out and a game is on I can watch it, I mean, I don't hate it, i just don't get into it as much as Football.

The nfc championship game vs the falcons @ the linc on jan 23 2005... Great day for me, although with all the events of this past sunday, that was probably the most fun I ever had at a regular season game

Solomon once again has to mention the Eagles twice in 4 of his memories. Instead of just focusing on great achievements a team has done or a big game a favorite team has won, he has more twisted pleasure in Philly teams losing. And I still don't know why.

BTW, forgot to list my greatest moment:

Like Iggles, it was also a conference championship game.

January 1991- Bills CRUSH the Raiders 51-3 to make their first of four straight Super Bowls.

51-3 in a championship game is CRAZY.

And once again, you've hijacked a thread with your incessant chatter. At least Solomon just answered the question and didn't turn it into a Random thread. Every thread you're in turns into Random.

Me and him are cool now, so I'm not responding to anything from previous posts in this or other threads. Stop sticking your head into everything and go away if you got a problem.

I also have to add june 24th 1995, june 10th 2000 & june 9th 2003

Those wonderful dates will always be special to me, those were the days that my beloved new jersey devils hoisted the stanley cup!!!!

This is interesting- the Devils and Giants both play in the Meadowlands, yet you despise one and like the other.

BOOOOOOOO Go away DEVILS fan

LOL

I forgot to add the NFC Championship of 2003. I remember turning the game on and Eagles jumped up 7-0 in 10 seconds and I was like it's OVER


turned it off and my cousin called me 3 hours later and told me the eagles lost and I was acting like i hit the lottery for $5000!!!!!!!

I was like-"WHAT????????????? ARE YOU KIDDIN ME???

Sports is irony. I can't believe I have to say that the Giants play in my state- my favorite state of them all. A damn SHAME and Mike knows it. The Giants playing in NJ that is.

The Devils no longer play at the meadowlands, they play in Newark, New Jersey.

Actually the devils now play in newark & the brand spankin new prudential center... I understand where your coming from & I have said on these boards many times how I became an eagles fan & i know it makes no sense but I love the eagles & ABSOLUTELY LOATHE the FLYERS, I LOVE THE DEVILS & Well we all know how I feel about the giants. It is not logical I know, but it has been that way for a very very long time

That was the worst day in my history of being a fan... I still to this day have not watched that game over... It is a ritual of mine to playback every single eagle game a 2nd time leading up to the next game & that game is still in its protective case & has not been touched EVER... It took me a month to even be able to talk about it

well people from North Jersey love the Devils primarily. People from South Jersey & Philly love the Flyers. you live in north jersey, so if we're going by the territory rules, you might be a Giants fan, but since you love the eagles, you hate the giants (and even the Cowboys). And oh yeah buddy? I LOATHE the Devils, right back at ya lol.

Just playin

Boy you aint kidding... I have to see that dump everyday when I go to work... I have a very special gesture for that place as I approach every day

I feel that way about Super Bowl XXV.

Yeah I completely understand. When I stayed in NY on a class trip 6 years ago, we stayed at the hotel, literally right next to Giants Stadium. I forget the hotel name but it was a nice one. The Sheridan?? Hmm. Now I'm wondering what the name of it. But yeah, when I looked out the room's window then, I could see that trashy stadium crystal clear.

Nice, that makes sense. Maybe I should find a lovely girl and shack up with her their next week, if the Eagles win this Sunday :lol:.

It will be too crowded and I don't know what hotels do as far as accommodations, when stars or NFL players/teams are staying at their place.

Its a nice hotel... In the middle of nowhere but if you get a room there you are absolutely assured to bump into the eagles. I have stayed there many times while the eagles are there & you can't help but bump into them... It is awesome.. In fact I will be doing that very thing next weekend if the eagles win sunday... Your more than welcome to come up & hang out.. You & i will not be the only birds fans there thats for sure

^ Who knows, Mike, you may meet your future wife there!! :lol:

Usually they don't allow you on the floors the teams are on, but the players are always out & about, going to the gym, the bar, the restaurant etc etc

^ Who knows, Mike, you may meet your future wife there!! :lol:


My future wife resides in my section at the linc... She just doesn't know it yet ;)

Nice, hope we're allowed that justice to be their next Sunday after this. Is it fair game/are fans allowed to ask players for autographs, on the road in their hotels?

absolutely fair game... Most of them walk around with nfl security guards within spitting distance but most of them will sign!

Last year I got Westy's autograph at that hotel the night before the giants game... They may have an earlier curfew though since its the playoffs

Either meeting Jerome Bettis, or seeing the Steelers FINALLY get that one for the thumb.

Mine will be the Chicago Bulls winning their 4th NBA Championship in 1996 after winning 72 games during the regular season.
