Default Re: Games that made you cry.

1999: JAX 62 - Miami 7. What a way to leave football.

Also, Wimbledon 2001. Goran, having lost in the finals 3 times before in his career, enters as a wildcard ranked like 125th or something in the world. The only reason they let him was because of his history there. He proceeds to play like a bat out of hell, mopping up a veritable who's who of tennis, including Moya, Roddick, Safin and Henman. I've never seen anyone serve like that before or after. Finally, in the extra games of 5th set against Rafter, he gets his first championship point in 13 years and four trips to the finals...and double faults. A couple points later he gets his second championship point...and double faults again. Rafter wins the 3rd. He comes up to the line for the 4th, furiously crossing himself and looking like he's thinking theres no way god is doing this to me, and wins the point. Greatest moment in sports hands down. He was crying, his dad was crying, everyone was. On a side note Sampras's legendary streak at Wimbledon also came to an end that tournament which was really sad. He lost to Federer, which was a pretty crazy passing of the torch.

EDIT almost forgot...[censored] Vince Young
