classic NFL football games and moments
1983 Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers - The highest scoring MNF game ever.  The Packers came out as huge underdogs to the defending NFL champions, but an unbelievable offensive preformance made for this classic back and forth game that wasn't won until there was on time left.  The game only featured one punt and lots of big plays.
1986 Denver Broncos vs Cleveland Browns - AFC Championship game - Probably one of the most talked about NFL games ever, just simply it was called "The Drive".  Elway leads the Broncos to victory on a last second TD.
1988 Chicago Bears vs Philadelphia Eagles - NFC Divisional playoffs - One of the weirdest games ever were the fog moved in around halftime and no one could tell what was going on.  This was one of Philaderphi's greatest teams with White, Cunningham, Jerome Brown, and many other great players.
1992 Cincinnati Bengals vs Green Bay Packers - A young brash quarterback who is full of energy and excitement comes in for Don Majokowski when he gets hurt.  His name was Brett Favre and he hasn't missed a game since that moment.  In this game he brings the Packers back to a win.  This was Mike Holmgrams first year as coach, Edgar Bennets first year, Robert Brooks first year, Steve Mariucci was the quarterbacks coach, and the list goes on.  My favorite game.
1993 Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions - Wildcard playoff game - Brett Favre makes first playoff apperance of career.  The week before this game the Packers had been beaten by the Lions.  This is one of the most enjoyable playoff games the Packers were ever in.  A back and forth affair that wasn't won until a 50 yard TD pass to Sterling Sharpe with under a minute to go wins the game.  Barry Sanders has big day as do Favre and Sharpe.
1995 Barry Sanders Highlight tape by Mejar - Rare tape and one of the only highlight films made of Barry Sanders.  Shows you the greatest runs of the most exciting NFL player ever and interviews with him and others about Barry Sanders.
1999 Tennessee Titans vs Buffalo Bills - AFC Divisional playoffs - "The Music City Miracle" Buffalo took a 16-15 lead over the Titans with 16 seconds left in the game.  The Titans lateral the ensuing kickoff and take it all the way for the TD and the win, unbelievable.  Great game and I can't imagine the roller coaster ride the Bills fans emotions took in the final seconds.  Oh yes that's right I can remember the Packers collapse on 4th down against philly.
2001 New England Patriots vs Oakland Raiders - Divisonal playoffs - "The Snow Bowl" - Game played in blizzard - great game
2003 Seattle Seahawks vs Green Bay Packers - Wildcard Playoffs - Great back and forth game for any fan of football.  Matt Hasselback leads Seattle back to tie the game with under a minute to go.  Ryan Longwell misses a field goal as time runs out.  Then on the coin flip for overtime Matt Hasselback says "We want the ball, and we are going to score".  Al Harris picks off a Hasselback pass as Seattle is threatening to score and runs it back for the TD and the win.
2003 Indianapolis Colts vs Tampa Bay Bucs - Tampa Bay had the best defense in the league and entered the last 4 minutes of the game with a 21 point lead, but the Colts came back to force OT and win the game.  Unbelievable game from two great teams.  Best game of 2003
Classic Hockey
1980 olympics USA vs USSR - "The Miracle on Ice".  What an amazing game and inspiration for this nation.  A must have for any sports buff.
1980 olympics USA vs Finland - The Gold Medal Game - The USA continues their run to the gold against a strong Finland team.
Classic Baseball
2001 World Series Game 7 - New York Yankees vs Arizona Diamond Backs - This truely was a fall classic.  Roger Clemens vs Curt Schilling.  Randy Johnson and Mariano Rivera pitching in the closeing roles, and alot of drama in a game that is won in the bottom of the ninth.  Great game!
2004 World Series Game 4 - Boston vs St. Louis - Boston breaks the curse and wins the world series in a sweep
Classic NCAA games
1999 Rose Bowl - Wisconsin vs UCLA - Ron Dayne runs for 246 yards and 4 TDs to lead the heavily underdogged Badgers to victory over Cade McNown and the UCLA Bruins.
2003 Fiesta Bowl - Ohio State Buckeyes vs Miami Hurricanes - One of the greatest college games ever and it was for the national championship. Ohio State and Miami battle to 2 OTs before the Buckeyes pull off the upset.  One great game.
