Greatest Sports Moments
Date: June 22, 2009 09:41AM

With the U.S. Open going into Monday, it reminded me of one of the greatest sports moments in recent memory - last year's U.S. Open playoff between an injured Tiger Woods and the virtually unknown (at the time) Rocco Mediate. Another great moment was when George Mason made it to the Final Four a few years back. Any other great sports moments?

Well, clearly the Red Sox's comeback vs the Spankees in the ALCS a few years back....nothing like it since the USA Hockey team beat USSR in the Olympics

Are you talking about recently? If so, last year's Wimbledon Final was epic.

While not a "moment", the Montreal Canadiens 11 straight overtime victories in the 1993 Stanley Cup Playoffs was just unreal.

Anytime. Like Jesse Owens beating the white German runners at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Another one would be Dan Jansen, who failed to win Olympic medals in speed skating 1988 and 1992 following the tragic death of his sister and who won a Gold in the final Olympic appearance of his career at the 1994 Olympics.

Remember when the FCPD shocked the world in the donut eating competition back in '82? Truly inspirational.

1980 USA Ice Hockey.

The Bill Buckner grounder.

The Curt Gibson walk off homer.

Etc, etc.

The greatest sports moment EVER is when Hulk Hogan beat Andre the Giant. The runner up is when Lex Luger bodyslammed Yokozuna.
