Re: The Other Saddest Moments in Sports
 

Those last three moments (Buckner, Dent, Boone) are no longer sad. They are integral threads of a tapestry which led to the 2004 World Series.

Re: The Other Saddest Moments in Sports
 

USC fans bitching about that call is pretty silly. His knee was down but I think it would have been 1st and 10 (assuming my memory serves me correctly) from the USC 12 and USC's D wasn't going to stop them (most likely)

so yes his knee was down and yes anything COULD have happened on the next play, but the odds of Texas scoring a TD anyway are huge.

Who cares. They made a bad call that resulted in a touchdown in what turned out to be a 3 point game. Yes, ANYTHING could have happened. Any penalty would have put them in a bad spot. Then on top of that the replay feed was broken so no review. Don't act like you wouldn't whine if this happened to your team.

Re: The Other Saddest Moments in Sports
 

Yeah I'd whine if it were my team, because anything could have happened. But this blown call wasn't on the scale of say if it were 4th down or something.

Didn't mean to start a thread hijack.

Also I believe OP mean "sad" not as in personally sad, but as in "OMG that's pathetic" type sad.

Not the saddest, but up there

Also can't find YouTube clip of this, but game 6 against the Hurricanes Leafs score with like 30 seconds left to send it to overtime and lose in overtime.

I hate UK, but I figure these are all sad moments for them, and why not take this opportunity to rub a little salt in the wounds:

...in chronological order...

Shame

The Downfall of the Program

Re: The Other Saddest Moments in Sports
 

Bartman? Alex Gonzalez's error? Losing 6 consecutive games that would have sent you to the World Series? The collapse of 1969? 99 years of Cubs baseball?

While I can't find a picture of it, this name should strike fear into the hearts of Giant fans: Trey Junkin. I know I'll never forget that name. I really feel sorry for the guy.

Also, this hurt a LOT:

I'm not sure anything hurt more than this, though:

The only way this isn't a sad story at the end is if the meteor somehow finally decides that it's going to do us all some good for once.

Re: The Other Saddest Moments in Sports
 

I think different people have different ideas for this thread.

I certainly agree with you and was about as far from sad as you could get at that moment.

OK, I appologize. Based on your response and the one above, I guess I misinterpreted the point of the thread. The OP said "the other saddest moments" and had a picture of Leon Lett, the first few responses had Weber's T and Buckner and later there was Norwood. My interpretation of the thread was that it was meant to be about blowups, [censored], in general "sad (as in pathetic) displays" not "things that made you sad" (which has come up several times here). If I were going with the latter, some combination of Big Ben's 3 picks in the 2005 AFC Championship game would be up there as far as football goes.

But not the Red Sox one...the second I saw on ESPN the night before that Kevin "I hit the wall and the wall won" Brown was starting...I knew it was over.
To this day I still wish Brown had pitched poorly in Minn.
I'm sure Torre would have gone to Duke of Hurl on short rest.

In the past week, I've attempted to start a conversation about the Trey Junkin game twice. Once with my roommate, who's a big sports fan, watches any game of any sport on TV, and generally spends 3/4ths of his time watching TV on ESPN. The other time with my buddy who isn't quite as much of a sports fan, but does watch football every weekend, and is a big Giants fan

Neither of them remembered the game. They didn't remember the 49ers comeback, they didn't remember the botched snap, they didn't remember the non-PI call downfield or the controversy that followed it.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Maybe I need to stop taking so much glee in the suffering of New York sports fans, or maybe I just need to find new friends

What? If you're talking about Kentucky, those idiots have been calling for Tubby's dismissal for years. He has had the least fan support of any exceptional coach I can imagine.
