The previous open thread has caused some debate about the greatest moment in sports history. Rather than have this lost in the comments, let me declare right here and right now that there is a tie for the greatest moments in sports history:
1.) The Red Sox sweeping the last four games of the ALCS vs. the Yankees after losing the first three. Die in a fire, Yankee fans.
2.) In 1971, Baltimore Colts linebacker Mike “Mad Dog” Curtis grabbed a fan who had run out into the field into the huddle during a Colts/Dolphin game, picked him up, and slammed the retard to the ground, knocking him out. Curtis, who graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Duke, later wrote about the event in his book “Keep Off My Turf.”
Those are the top two sporting events of all time, although I would put Secretariat up there. Anything else is either Steeler related, or merely interesting.
