I remember being bored out of my brain and watched the fucking 2004 Olympic marathon. Then this happened (Go to 4:00):


The poor bastard is leading the race of his life and some cunt runs up and tackles him.
Follow on at 2:00


Tears of happiness as that courageous bastard held on to get the bronze.

Also when Ramjet won the local mens Basketball comp.
Me and my four brothers had a team with one other tall friend included who was good for rebounds and key presence but basically very uncoordinated.
Anyway, the other team is just killing us from the perimeter and we are down early. We try to rally but the brotherly bickering emerges and we can't get into the game.
Then as time dwindles down it's absolute desperation. We call a timeout and discuss how we can make up a 10 point deficit with only around 3 minutes to go. Some are calling for a full court press but I think we'd get killed with a long pass. I think a half court press would be a better option. Disagreement reigns and the game begins without any resolution.
Time in. Fuck it! Full press these bastards!
Turnover! Quick score! Inbound..... the guy can't even dribble under pressure... ball goes out. Our inbound.
Drive and dish! Score! We can still win this!
They inbound and finally break our press, great hussle pressures their lay up... miss. We run it back up court hit the man on the wing.. Swish!
Uber full court press time... we can feel them choking. Interception! Power move from the block with the foul! To the line..It's good!
They finally adjust to our pressure and advance the ball.
Fucking Old school Pistons D up in this bitch! Scrambling, bumps, blocks and bustling! Bill Laimbeer is on the sidelines nodding his approval.
We strangle them into a desperate 3 attempt. Clank! Rebound! Outlet!
Fast break.... they can't keep up and it turns into a 3 on 1. Behind the back pass for the aggressive lay up and foul! AWWWW YEEAAHH!
The extra's are good and we hit the lead with only 45 seconds to go!
They hustle the ball back up court and get an open look from mid range. No good!
We move the ball back up court and shift it around so they can't foul. Ball is kicked to me with 4 seconds on the clock and I rocked back and ice the game with a 3 in the face of their 6'6" best player.
Straight gangster!
We get mobbed by the adoring fans ( friends and family ) and they tell us how it is the best game they have ever seen, Any sport, Ever.
We can only agree.

thats was pretty awesome, i rememeber watching all that series in my design technology class in school.

Fuck I remember that, Funk. To this day it's the only Cricket match I've ever watched in its entirety.

That was such a great series because it was genuinly the two best sides inthe world competing in a grudge match that repeatedly went down to the wire. Flintoff may be a broken down fatty nowadays but for a brief while he was the most cursed of things - "the new Botham". Neither side has been as good since.

Psycho

England winning the 2003 Rugby World Cup with less than a minute to go in the game. So Tense.

Seeing Newcastle beat Man Utd 4-3 at St James. Such a good game and atmosphere.

Pommies talking about cricket when an Australian Ashes tour is a fortnight away!? Wow! That's some pride before the fall if ever there was.
2005 was a great series but remember how lucky you guys got. McGrath rolled his ankle just before the start and we still nearly won. Every close result went your way.

I started this post feeling fairly confident but on closer inspection I wish we had some decent bowlers.
Could be interesting.

Anyway best moment of 2005 was this:

Arrogant little cunt.
