Hank Gathers dying and then Bo Kimble and LMU making an incredible run. Best story of my lifetime. I remember the world stopped when Bo shot free throws left-handed

I hate to admit it but I like the Favre story when his father died and he lit up monday night football.

LOL


The worst part was it was our numbers 9 and 11 batsman in the chances of us hitting a 6 at the MCG (with the worlds biggest boundries) were so slim it wasn't funny.

I actually remmember watching that live as a kid I would have been very young.

There was a great song made about it over here taking the piss out of you guys about the incident.

"Gone but never forgotton, lest we forget" haha

2 words -- Lance Armstrong

One of my personal favs. If you know what this guy went through and overcame, its a wonder he can complete the Tour de France let alone dominate it like he does.

Miracle on Ice is the best story in US team sports.

OJ in the White Bronco after he killed those people....allegedly. Of course all innocent people take off in high speed chases because they know they are going to jail.

Considering the political climate at the time and the way it created a real public pride in our country, there is no bigger sports story than the U.S beating the Russians and going on to win the Gold Medal in 1980
