    I have a lot of favorites, heres a few.Not in any particular order.
    1983 NC State national championship
    1978 Bucky Dents home run in AL championship over Boston
    1998 Dale Earhhardts Daytona 500 win
    2001 Kevin Harvicks first win after Dale Earnhardts death
    Probably my favorite:
    1980 US HOCKEY TEAM beating Russia for the Gold in the Olympics I didn't and still don't know anything about hockey but have never felt prouder over any type of sporting event.

    When the Red Sox won the World Series Last year. Only because I won so much money off the sweep.

    I made a half court shot in Jr. High. We lost the game but everyone on my team tackled me because it was so awesome.

    Witnessed John Force break the Funny car record 250 mph at route 66.

    Tony Hawk doing the 900. I bet no one else has a clue to what that is, but it was a cool moment in skateboard history.

    Watching Roger MAris hit # 61 was a thrill. The pitcher who gave up the homer was Tracy Stallard who was the uncle of a friend of mine.

    My memory is fuzzy on details this morning, but the homer by Pittsburg to beat the Yankees in the world series back in the ealry 1960s.

    The next thing that matched that home run was Atlanta Braves come from behind against Pittsburg to take the national league pennat. That must have been ealy 1973 or close.

    The Nashville miracle play with no time left on the clock that kept the Tennessean Titans in the playoffs leading to the Super bowl. Maybe 10 years ago.

    Roger Maris was a great player who held the record for years. Not like the one's who beat his record . That was good true baseball back then. Think Pete Rose should be able to have his name in the hall. After all they let half these players break records and did things worst then him.

    Half the players out there today couldn't carry Roses' bat I use to love to see him run the bases when he hit a home run, I think he should be in the hall to.

    I agree Bobby .. I was lucky to have seen him play for the Phillies back in 1980. He was one of the reason they made it to the world series and won. Great player who should of got a break for his mistake. I can't understand why ..... Someday he will I just hope its in his lifetime..

    Colts win over the Bucs on Monday Night Football in 2003 when Peyton Manning rallied his team from a 35-14 deficit with four minutes left. That's right, Indy came back from a 21 point deficit in the last 4 minutes. Colts won in overtime.

    Also, Colts win over the Patriots in AFC title game Jan, 2007, after an 18 point deficit earlier in the game. They went on to win the Super Bowl, as they probably will this year.

    Ross I like Peyton too we need more guys like him and Eli for the young guys to look up to, but being inNC I am a Panther fan and Jake does a good job in that department as well.

    Jake looks awesome this year. Sweet victory over The Saints. Steve Smith is a freak of nature (as long as he can keep from punching team mates!)
