I'll stick to things I actually saw:
Secretariat beating the field by 31 lengths at the Belmont to win the Triple Crown. It's my first sporting memory and I remember laughing like a drain watching Big Red whip everyone else.
Liverpool coming back from 3 goals down to AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League final to win in extra time. Maybe the best football/soccer comeback ever.
Jack Nicklaus winning his 6th Masters in 1986 at the age of 46 and well past his prime. You got chills listening to the roar of the crowd.
Tiger winning the US Open last year on a busted leg.
Tiger beating the field by 15 strokes at Pebble to win the US Open a few years ago. Maybe the most complete sporting performance ever.
Usain Bolt at this summer's Olympics setting 3 world records and winning 3 golds in spectacular fashion.
The US beating the USSR in the Miracle in Ice at the 1980 Winter Olympics.
The USSR beating Canada 8-1 at the Montreal Forum in the 1981 Canada Cup Final. I was at the that game - we had Gretzky, Lafleur, Bossy, a team full of Hall of Famers and got utterly and completely smoked.
The Montreal Canadiens vs Red Army New Year's Eve 1975. Maybe the best hockey game ever. 3-3 was the final score and if you're new to hockey and want to see a great game, look this one up. Fantastic stuff.
Oh, and for
dlish - the 2003 Rugby World Cup Final and the drop goal winner by Johnny Wilkinson. You gotta love that one.
