Top Three Plays/moments in your favorite team's history.

Not my favorite team, but I'm pretty fond of this program and this was an absolute blast of a moment ...

I was in this strange netherworld because I was the only person I knew with the Big 10 Network (I think it was their first day) and so I couldn't call anybody and tell them to watch this incredible game. Then Michigan lined up for the final FG attempt and I thought the magic had run out. Instead …

Since it was mentioned.

Minnesota greatness.

Look for me in one of the crappy 'luxury suites' I was there:

I thought about putting that on the list for the Penguins. It was certainly fun to watch, but not exactly a competitive game.

What's crazy is what doesn't make the top three.

Polamalu INT return for a TD against Flacco.
Third-and-27 to Brown against the Ravens
Lambert throwing down Harris
Roethlisberger's open-field tackle
Bradshaw to Stallworth against the Rams
Randal-El to Ward

Honestly, I would put some of those ahead of Swann's touchdown against the Cowboys, especially Bradshaw to Stallworth. The Steelers were losing and the offense was going nowhere. That was third and long, so they were looking at punting again from deep in their own end.

Jesus Christ. Mario even got Jim Paek a goal that night.

I had completely forgotten about that until I watched the video. I'm not sure anybody who wasn't a Penguins fan at the time can appreciate how difficult a task it was to get Paek a goal.

It's actually a pretty funny goal. You could tell Paek never expected the puck to come to him and also that he wanted no part of it. As soon as it was on his stick he was looking to dump it to any black jersey in sight. I am able to recognize this because I make that same play 100% of the time.

There was a very strange atmosphere in the arena that night once that game got underway and it became a blowout. It was as if both the North Stars players, and all 15,000 fans, realized at the same time "oh yeah, we're not actually any good and barely made the playoffs this year" after that two-month magic carpet ride ended.

Not my favorite team, but I'm pretty fond of this program and this was an absolute blast of a moment ...

Me too. And how many so-called college football sorts who tried to call them "Appy State."

 

[Machine Head]

Wow, great to hear Danny Galavan on the pxp. Loved me some North Stars, from the Danny Grant/Billy Goldsworthy era.

I was a North Stars guy. Was at the first game and the last.

Never locked in on the Wild.

Norm Green sucks

Norm Green sucks

Were you the one who dumped a beer on him at the L.A. Forum?

Last game was against the Kings. The press box was in the middle of the stands and Green was sitting in the back row. Just before the game ended, some guy stands up and shouts: "NORM GREEN, I HATE YOUR forkING ASS." And he dumped a whole beer over Green's head. Green just took it, didn't react.

With the Angels, I feel I need to have a separate list for 2002, and another list for all the other years.

2002:
Darin Erstad make the last out to clinch the World Series title.
Scott Spiezio's home run in Game 6 (Game 7 doesn't happen without it)
Adam Kennedy hits his third homer of the game to put the Halos ahead to stay in the ALCS clincher

Non-2002:
Clinching the first division title and playoff berth in 1979
Vlad Guerrero's two-out single for the tying and winning runs in the 2009 ALDS to clinch the sweep against the Red Sox. Angels had a bad postseason history against Boston up until then, and it was nice to get one back, although they lost to the Yankees in the ALCS
Nolan Ryan's no-hitter against Detroit in 1973 (he had three other with the Angels, but I've read this one was the most dominant)

Honorable mention: I'll always remember the regular season game in the 1986 season when the Angels were down 12-5 against the Tigers going into the bottom of the 9th. They whittled the deficit down to 12-9, and the Tigers brought in reigning AL MVP and Cy Young winner Willie Hernandez to close it out. Bases full, shortstop deck Schofield up, and Hernandez quickly goes 0-2 on him, and Schofield sends the next pitch into the left-field bullpen to give the Angels an improbable 13-12 win. Result didn't mean much in the long run, but it was a heck of a moment.
