The Other Saddest Moments in Sports

[JaredL]

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.

QFT

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.

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.

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

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:

How honorable to kick a man while he's down

This is why I [censored] hate everyone not from my state

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.

This is the last time I cried after a sporting event.

The last 10 minutes of the third period, and the OT, is probably the best hockey I've ever seen. [censored] you, JR [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

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.
