2008's most memorable sports moments

I am going with the 17-time World Champion Boston Celtics return to glory. I am sure this would have been mentioned if it weren't for the Pro-Chicago Bulls bias of the sportscast.

No Doubt, Tiger Woods.To All Of The Sports World,"Need I Say More"

are you out of your mind, the New York Giants beat the hands down the best team in the history and did it like the champions they are. THey showed how a team together can win when a team full of single stars play on the same field. MIchael Phelps winning gold is great but he did it against an inferior field of swimmers who had no chance to win against him unless they hit him on the head with a pips during the race. If he had won against a swimmer who was beating the swimming world the way he did then his victory would be the best in 2008 but look at what he did and who he did it against not the medals he won. The NY Giants won when every single person reporter and many fans gave them not even a glimmer of hope. TIger Woods sport( if thats what you call it) is singular and never a place where he must count on one but himself and he himself and golf is not a competive sport when you have the greatest golfer in history playing. The giants win will be remembered by every fan who cried with joy and even the rivals who could do anything but tip their hats to the best win in the history of sports, ever, hands down, no questions, period.

My vote is for the greatest tennis match ever played
Rafael Nadal vs. R. Federer 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5-7), 6-7(8-10), 9-7

Rafael Nadal dethroned five-time champion Roger Federer by winning the longest-ever Wimbledon men's final.

The consistently heart stopping classic began at 2.35pm and, thanks to a couple of breaks for rain it ended at 9.15pm. With the win, Nadal matched Bjorn Borg’s feat of winning the Grand Slams at the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back.

For the Greatest Sports Story of 2008, how can you ignore the Wimbledon final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal? That will surely go down as one of the top events in sports history!!

Has to be the New York Gaints winning the Super Bowl. Beat the best team at the time with a great last quarter effort.

It was by far Phelps. Yes it was not just Michael but also the teams he was part of. If you consider that he was not just winning gold medals but was breaking world records you con't say he was swimming against an inferior swimmers because he can truely say he beat the best in almost every race as he was smashing world records right and left. You can not say the Patriots were the best ever except in your opinion because you can't determine that like you can in a race because you have a concrete time in a race that was the best ever. Phelps broke those.

HOTTY TODDY!!! Go ELI AND THE GIANTS!! Hope everybody is ready for a Manning vs. Manning super Bowl this year!!

Candace Parker playing through an injury and leading the Lady Vols to the championship.

got to be oj this time hes going to jail for a long time .i never liked him anyway !

Anyone care to place a bet that Phelps' record will never be matched? Phelps is fortunate to compete in a sport where multiple gold medals are commonplace due to repitition of events. Happens all the time. If athletes in other sports had the same opportunities, they would accomplish the same. Phelps is no doubt the greatest swimmer of all time, but Phelps' celebrity was a media creation.

I'll take Tiger's remarkable win in the Open.

Portland, Oregon
For me, personally, it was pretty exciting to watch the Redeem Team go undefeated in training, undefeated in American zonal qualifying, and then undefeated in Olympic play. They were playing against the top teams in the world and NBA and international all-stars as well. I think the support they got from former NBA stars, Americans who were not named to the team, and guys coming off the bench was really phenomenal as well. It stood in stark contrast situation in the Olympics in Greece.
In the same sense, it was just a little sad to see our Greek Dream Team, the women's softball team, lose a game in training, and then lose the final in China. I think it is, in part, a testament to just how well the Japanese team has been playing, of course, and their pitchers are now some of the best in the world, as well.
Team dynamics are a funny thing, and these people were playing for much less money than some of the professional sports stars over here. I guess that, for me, it is fun watching people play sports for pride, for honor, for their teammates, and for the people back home, instead of just for their agent, their lawyer, and the coaches who are fixing the game.

With so many to great chooses, which won't change, Michael Phelps cause it marks history. But to listen to these games while the sportscaster announces has to be by far the greatest part. My passion on getting into sportscasting is http://www.radioconnection.com Work on the sports shows while you get trained.

There's always the KU Jayhawk three peat.....or more? How about that last second shot from Mario Chalmers....may he also bless the NBA.

in my case, every single game that the philidelpia eagles play and brian dawkins celebrates is so much more than the typical win loss thing....if you watch him play you will understand what i mean...he brings a game when your down 2 touchdowns and his high energy alone will make you feel like your allready a winner...not to mention his age...he may go down in history not only in the hall of fame but he may also go down as the most energetic defensive player in current times....including the last decade or so

Definitely the Boston Celtics -are you kidding me the big 3 baby alll the way!!! <33

Has to be Tiger Woods winning the Open. Who else in any other sport can win or even play on a broken leg? Right, none.

You should really let Phelps know that B.C. Bud (British Columbia Canada) has the best but, if he gets the urge again. Small amounts are legal too !!
Cheers.

Rafer ,
All those are great moments but dont forget the Arizona Cardinals. I know the Cards are not what i would have thought about but to do what they did and how they did it was pretty amazing. Ken Whizenhunt deserves coach of the year...period. The Team became a true team when it counted.Winning on the road in Carolina after loosing there weeks before. I am a Panther Fan 1st. But i cheered for them in the "Super Bowl of Tampa" this year.
Arizona you are among the best of 2008 in my eyes
