Favorite Sports Event

The miracle on ice hockey team from the 1980 olympics. I’ll never forget the night they beat the Soviet team to advance to the gold medal game, which they won.

Jets win the Super Bowl as Namath Promised.

Game 7, 2008 Stanley Cup. My two favorite teams, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings playing hard, clean hockey. Pens are up 2 to 0 with about 6 minutes remaining and Detroit scores on a hard one-timer from the blue line that Fleury deflects with his shoulder but not quite enough.

Both teams play hard, the last minute with the Red Wings having an empty net and an extra attacker. Detroit is around the net like a bunch of killer bees. A shot from Fleuy’s left is stopped but the rebound goes out to his right, right onto the stick of a Detroit player. Fleury lunges to his right, two quick bounces on his knees and takes the ensuing shot high on his chest pad, deflecting it into the corner where time expires. Pens win, 2 to 1. The crowd, a Detroit crowd, applauds the effort if both teams.

One of the most exciting games I have ever seen.

Super Bowl 43: Steelers win their 6th Championship on a toe tap catch by Santonio Halmes.

Any college football or basketball game I got to attend in person. There is just something about that college atmosphere when you are at the game. I know thats not what you asked for. But that is what I miss. Right now, I was hoping to be at an NCAA tourney game this weekend.

Super Bowl X, Steelers MVP WR Lynn Swann's amazing catch (The Levitating Leap) from a pass from the end zone from Terry Bradshaw (The Blond Bomber) on the Steeler win (21 - 17) over the Dallas Cowboys.

Totally offbeat, but while I love a good football game or hockey game I have to go with Iditarod.

Man and Dog team against the elements and the long arctic night. THAT is badass!

March Madness - the NCAA men’s basketball tournament - is my favorite sporting event of the year. I was looking forward to this year’s tournament since my Seton Hall Pirates were having a very good season.

The 1989 tournament was a special one - but it ended poorly for Seton Hall - as they were incredibly close to that victory.

2019 world series. 7 games. Road team will all 7.

My favorite sports documentary
Jerry Tarkanian and his Fresno State basketball team ( 1998 ) are the focus of a stunning documentary . The two-hour show, "Between the Madness,". Cant find it on you tube but must be out there somewhere. Small preview on you tube
