Not talking about specific events (ie a specific game) but generally what is the most exciting play/moment in sports.

I'm going to go with pulling a goalie in hockey

6/2/2007 9:16:35 PM

game winning field goal from 10-30 yds :-\

6/2/2007 9:18:47 PM

Pulling the goalie, in and of itself, isn't exciting.

A 5-on-3 in overtime is the answer we're looking for here.

6/2/2007 9:21:19 PM

inside the park home run by David Ortiz

6/2/2007 9:24:12 PM

Successfully run 2-minute drill in the NFL for a win.

Any kind of big KO in a fight (MMA or boxing).

6/2/2007 9:25:31 PM

any time the underdog scores as time runs out to win

6/2/2007 10:15:43 PM

6/2/2007 10:22:24 PM

Hail Mary to win the game

6/2/2007 10:23:41 PM

Blocked FG/punt

6/2/2007 10:42:43 PM

Easily the walkoff homerun. No question.

[Edited on June 2, 2007 at 11:05 PM. Reason : though hockey playoff ot is hard to beat too..]

6/2/2007 10:46:47 PM

^ without a doubt

kick return for a td is pretty good too

6/2/2007 11:10:53 PM

Sheed going postal

6/2/2007 11:21:19 PM

MLB - Walk-off Grand Slam or game ending Triple Play
NCAA/NFL - Hail Mary
NHL - Penalty shot

6/3/2007 12:28:19 AM

any goal the USA mnt scores against mexico

6/3/2007 12:46:45 AM

I know I'll get flamed for this, but when 2 (or more) cars are side-by-side racing to the checkered flag and giving it their all, that's pretty intense

6/3/2007 1:29:21 AM

Only if they're not stock cars.

6/3/2007 1:30:24 AM

<--- pleads the 5th



and im not saying that it's the "most" exciting, but an exciting one nonetheless

6/3/2007 1:34:09 AM

State beating UNC

6/3/2007 1:43:57 AM

birdie to win a major

6/3/2007 3:33:46 AM

its the field goal for the win, but also when the game is NOT tied

think about it... you are the most nervous during that time... cause its usually a 50/50 chance of what will come... a hail mary would be more amazing but i mean the nerves of watching your team in the situation arent as great cause its less likely to happen... eh whatever

6/3/2007 11:33:00 AM

The steal of home. (I pulled this one off coaching one year)

6/3/2007 11:33:10 AM

Basketball: When fat retired players race elderly referees

Football: When roughing the passer is called on a game-changing 4th quarter forced fumble sack

Baseball: When managers throw grenades at umpires

Hockey: When people forget the words to the national anthem, leave, come back to try again, and bust their ass on the ice

6/3/2007 1:06:28 PM

no huddle offense is great

6/3/2007 2:48:00 PM

in basketball when 2 players, one on each team, are just on fire / in the zone, going back and forth when neither of them can seem to miss a shot...think lebron james on thursday night if maybe billups was also on fire

has this ever happened (in the mlb)? i know not recently

6/3/2007 2:57:51 PM

The last-second pass for the win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l5-XKvL28E&mode=related&search=

6/3/2007 3:46:07 PM

^^probably ever...i would guess an unassisted triple play would be even rarer

6/3/2007 3:56:18 PM

This is kind of a weird one, but I always love in baseball when a position player comes in to pitch in a blowout. It's even better when they are able to strike people out. Like when Jose Oquendo struck out Deion Sanders. I know Wade Boggs came in a game once and struck out at least one person also.

6/3/2007 5:36:59 PM

or when Canseco came in and suffered a season ending arm injury lol

The 17th occurrence of it ever happening was this year, turned by a rookie Rockie vs. the Braves

I'm not a Braves fan, but that is a hell of a way to end a series.

6/3/2007 8:30:41 PM

If Barry was juicing back then, he would have thrown Bream out by 10 feet

6/3/2007 8:43:02 PM

i think the lebron powerade commercial is pretty exciting...he hits like 5 shots in a row from the other end of the court

6/3/2007 8:50:21 PM

^ I hope you are joking

6/3/2007 9:08:10 PM

6/3/2007 9:12:21 PM

unassisted triple plays are impressive, but not that exciting...they are over before anyone knows whats happening

6/3/2007 11:18:46 PM

^^ you know thats fake right

6/3/2007 11:34:17 PM

^^ agreed... the best triple plays are of the 5-4-3 variety

6/3/2007 11:38:59 PM

has to be the game winning goal in a FIFA world cup final match

6/4/2007 12:42:43 AM

^Well, that would almost certaily be more exciting than the 90 minutes that preceded it.

6/4/2007 1:12:01 AM

drunknloaded: you are smrt

6/4/2007 1:21:50 AM

i love the buzz before the kick off of a huge game.

for the people who were there (events that occurred directly after the event not withstanding), the atmosphere before kick off of the ESPN Miami game was amazing.


i always like when a star comes up with 2 outs in the ninth in a big spot. A-rod's homerun tonight an example.
