Demo your Tenn Vols are the #1 overall seed in the baseball playoffs !
64 teams starts Fri . Broken into 16 pods of 4 teams to start. Then head to head for sweat 16, then two 4 team pod (elite 8) then head to head (national championship)..
Head to head is best of 3 game series, pods are double elimination tournament .
I'd just like to say in reverse (was thinking this was US sports highlights) that Aguero crushing the hopes of ManU on the final day was one of greatest moments of Schadenfreude in sports history. Watching Old Trafford going nuts when they saw City down 2-1 then flashing back to them after City took the lead is burned in my brain. Some of the juiciest 'other people's misfortune' I've ever seen.
The baseball player, that said “I’m the luckiest man on earth. Was Lou Gehrig, a great baseball player. In 1939 he made a speech. He quit baseball because he had ALS disease and now people call it Lou Gehrig disease. Died soon afterwards.
Many say his career would eclipse Babe Ruth himself had it not been cut short.
Grew up getting chills every time I heard that speech.... my father was recently diagnosed with als.... it hits a lot different now
At 8:07 I remember this one! High school softball playoffs, not sure if county level or state level, but the girl hit a game-winning home run... and hurt her leg running to first. She couldn't continue, and if she didn't touch every base, the run wouldn't count. If her teammates or coaches helped her, she'd be called out and the run wouldn't count. So then the opposing team asked: can *we* help her? And the umpires couldn't find a rule against that.
At 4:45, that's Ray Bourque hoisting the Stanley Cup for the first time at age 40 in the last game of his 22-year Hall-of-Fame career. (Colorado captain Joe Sakic had won it previously, so he graciously allowed Bourque to be the first to raise it). Bourque scored more points than any defenseman in NHL history, while also playing elite defense from the day he entered the league at age 18. He joined the Boston Bruins (my team) in 1979 when I was 9 and was traded away in 2000 several days after my 30th birthday, because the team was going downhill. He reluctantly requested a trade and they accommodated him. He might have an equal, but there can be no athlete in any sport who performed at an elite level and gave everything he had every game for such a long time. Grown men throughout New England shed tears of joy when Ray won the Cup. He was (and remains) so beloved that the city of Boston held a celebration for him and the Cup he won playing elsewhere.
At 6:35, that's the "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match from 1973, in which 29-year-old Billie Jean King defeated 55-year-old Bobby Riggs. She was the one of the highest-ranked women, or the highest, in the world, while he had been the highest-ranked man in 1946 and 1947. He publicly insisted that women's tennis was inferior and challenged the best players to face him. He first defeated the great Margaret Court, who might not have been in peak shape after giving birth. The match with King, which had a winner-take-all prize of $700,000 in today's money, was viewed by 50 million Americans and 90 million more worldwide. King's victory increased acceptance of women's tennis and sports in general.
At 17:35, that's baseball Hall-of-Famer Lou Gehrig at Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1939, when he famously said "I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth." His playing career had just ended and he would die 2 years later of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known in the U.S. as "Lou Gehrig's disease." When he said that, he knew he was seriously ill, and might have already known it was terminal.
At 21:40, that's "The Catch" by Willie Mays of the New York (baseball) Giants in the 1954 World Series.
At 22:41, that's the Boston Bruins fighting with some fans at the end of a game at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 23, 1979. At least some arenas used much lower glass back then, and the seats were elevated there, allowing the players to easily climb over. One of the players, Mike Milbury, infamously hit a guy with his own shoe. (Several months ago, during one of the commemorations for the Bruins' centennial season, they had some of the players from that team on the ice. Milbury walked out holding a shoe in his hand.)
At 23:26, I believe that's the "Punch-up in Piestany" in Czechoslovakia at the 1987 World Junior (under age 20) Championships between Canada and the Soviet Union. There is no fighting allowed, now or then, in international competition (technically, it's not allowed in the NHL either, but it's only a 5-minute penalty, so we say it's allowed). The fight lasted 20 minutes and resulted in both teams being ejected from the tournament. The Soviet Union had already been eliminated from medal contention, but Canada had not; they might have won gold.
At 24:21, that's Bobby Orr of the Boston Bruins scoring a goal in overtime to win the 1970 Stanley Cup. The goal was dramatic, but the series was a 4-game sweep.
At 35:24, that's basketball coach Jim Valvano, shortly before he died of cancer at age 47.
yeah I was totally coming here to do a lot of this, albeit different clips, cant believe my eyes glossed over Orr. Only passed his statue a million times and have heard the call. Mind you, not a Bruins fan, but still super iconic
The speech at the end was Jim Valvano, aka Jimmy V, the former NC State basketball coach who was dying of cancer at the time. It is an amazing speech that everybody should hear
31:51 That's the Immaculate Reception. Steelers were behind in the final seconds, quarterback heaved the ball downfield for his receiver, defense batter the ball down... into the waiting arms of running back Franco Harris, who was really only supposed to be blocking for the wide receivers, but instead took the deflection in for a score.
At 10:51 that's Kirk Gibson. He hurt his left hamstring stealing second base in game 5 of the NLCS, and hurt his right knee sliding into second in game 7. So naturally, he couldn't play in the world series. Well, his team was trailing by a run in game 1, when in the 9th inning, with two out, the opposing team issued an intentional walk to another batter because the next guy up was a much weaker hitter. Unbeknownst to them, Gibson had told his manager he was available to pinch-hit if needed, so the manager put him in.
Normally guys who hit big home runs say they weren't up there trying to hit a home run, just make good contact, etc etc. Gibson has since stated that he was absolutely trying to hit a home run, because he knew if the ball was hit into play, he'd be out at first because he could barely walk, let alone run.
But Gibson hit the 7th pitch off opposing pitcher and hall of famer Dennis Eckersley out of the park for a game-winning home run. He didn't play again in the Series but his team went on to win 4-1.
Mike Davis was not intentionally walked but he did walk, which is ironic because he had a bad year that year and Eckersly was lights out unstoppable when he came in to finish a game. That moment still brings me to tears
The guy speaking at the end is Jim Valvano. He also had a moment where he is running around the court with his hands on his head after NC State won the National Championship in basketball. When he gave that speech it was at the 1993 ESPY's right after they won and he was terminally ill with cancer.
33:59 That Sidney Crosby golden goal at the 2010 Olympics against The States is probably the peak of Canadian Sport
That coach was yelling about being 40 is because the reporters were going after his players
At 4:38 I'm guessing that's Jesse Owens at the Berlin Olympics.
At 4:43 that's Joe DiMaggio being honored after the end of his 56-game hit streak. He broke the record of Wee Willie Keeler, 45, which spanned parts of two seasons in 1896-97, and only one player since has had even a 40-game hit streak, Pete Rose in 1978 with 44.
This was like a highlight reel of highlights! What a great compilation!
That speech at the end is worth a reaction in and of itself.
Check out the Jimmy V speech!
The one clip where the offensive lineman were carrying the QB down the field was after Marshall Thundering Herd QB Byron Leftwich broke his shin in the game and his lineman carried him down the field to the new line of scrimmage.
30:59 That's Bill Mazeroski after his walk-off Game 7 home run in the 1960 World Series. The footage was thought lost to time until recently, when Bing Crosby died. Bing just happened to be a huge Pirates fan, and also rich enough to have equipment for recording TV footage, and he'd stored the footage in his wine cellar, where the cool, dry conditions had preserved it beautifully.
I'm a New Yorker, born and raised. In my life I've seen a few NY team moments/seasons that were amazing and thrilling to live through. That Jeremy Lin/Knicks 2012 run was quite a fun Cinderella story. The NY Rangers winning the Stanley Cup in 1994 - there's a really fun video about that season. NY Mets in 1986 - when the ball rolled between someone's legs to allow the Mets to win. And the two NY Giants Super Bowl wins in 2007 and 2012 over the Patriots (Tom Brady) were miracles. I'm sure there were more, but those stand out in my mind.
The tennis player you thought was Arthur Ashe is actually Althea Gibson, if I’m not wrong.
You are correct. She was the 1st African-American, male or female, to win the US Open; over a decade before Ashe.
the catch at 2:30 is from an NPB game in 2010 featuring the Hiroshima Carp and the Yokohama BayStars. The center fielder imitating spider-man is Masato Akamatsu he retired in 2019.
At 5:30 that's Landon Donovan at the 2010 world cup; final game of the group phase, US were staring down elimination with a draw, but that goal not only qualified the US to the round of 16, it also allowed us to top the "EASY" (England, Algeria, Slovenia, Yanks) group with England 2nd, by a margin of goals scored as both drew each other, had 5 points, and had +1 GD.
I remember watching that. It was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. My brother and I and everyone at the bar went nuts. We probably chanted U-S-A for 10 minutes.
I was at the game :)
24:41 That's Bob Beamon at the Mexico City Olympics of 1968. He not only won gold by 71cm over silver, he broke the world record by 55cm with a jump of 8.90 meters, *to this day* the Olympic record and second longest in history (with record-legal wind).
That final speech absolutely needs a deep dive as well. For some context. Valvano had terminal cancer. He was speaking at the inaugral ESPY, and told the audience he did not care about the autocue saying he had 30 seconds left. I'm in tears watching the full speech right now while typing this. Jimmy V was, still is, and forever will be inspiring. He is gone, but not forgotten at all. More people need to hear his 1993 ESPY speech. More people need to take home the message it gives. He makes the audience laugh and cry, he takes a shot at Dick Vitale, and nobody cared he overran his time slot. He would die 58 days later.
that video was edited so well.
Good to see you boys back. Now a bit of criticism. You're covering 20% of the screen. The old configuration was better.
Guys, I'm very impressed with your knowledge. I've seen you all from just about the beginning of your channel. Being able to recognize all the plays, players, moments, etc. is awesome. Pat yourselves on the back. You've come a long way. My missing moment would be Senna's Fuji rain race, if I remember correctly, him just passing all the drivers with ease, to win(?). Keep up the great work and you will be able to talk sports with everyone in the world.
At 10:15 that's Kerri Strug, landing a fantastic vault to win team all-around gold for the US.. despite a broken ankle!
Damn son
She injured her ankle on her previous vault but her team needed a big score on her second vault, shown here. She had to be carried to the platform to receive her team gold medal. An electrifying performance!
And Bobby Hill blew his load.
Came here to say that.
@18:53, that catch by Dewayne Wise, on top of being a spectacular play, also saved a perfect game for his pitcher, Mark Buehrle, who completed the perfect game two outs later.
For a little context of the guy saying he’s 40, basically the media was attacking his players, and when you get down to it these are college kids. Kids. People sending death threats and all sorts of shit happens like it’s a pro sport and their coach basically had enough of the media fanning the flames and said “come after me, I’m a man, not one of these actual kids who are allowed to make some mistakes as amateurs”
Things are changing a bit with the money but back in 2007 it truly was amateur
They are not kids.
@@areguapiri bruh. They 18. Unless ur 12 you know that’s basically a kid and not catching a ball isn’t worth a death threat
@@areguapiri bruh. They 18. Unless ur 12 you know that’s basically a kid and not catching a ball isn’t worth a death threat
@@areguapiri They're 18-22 year olds who do nothing but play sports. They're kids lol.
@ 22:12 I think you missed one of the most amazing baskets ever, by Dr. J, (Julius Erving). It was back before the days of 24 hour sports news. Yet it was talked about for days.
The clip with all the hockey players fighting was the World Juniors final between Canada and Russia. You guys need to do a video about that. Both teams just starting fighting. They shut the lights off in the arena and then the fighting got worse and even more violent. It was 1987 and the Canadian player would all go on to be NHL superstars.
It was called the "Punchup in Piestany."
Ooo, I absolutely love this video! The creator did a great job including multiple sports.
Every great moment pre-2020 is on here!
13:56 That was 1951, the Giants and Dodgers finished the regular season in a tie for first in the National League back when there weren't any playoffs besides the World Series. Back then this was resolved by a 3-game series, this was Bobby Thompson in the bottom of the 9th in game 3 hitting a walk-off home run.
@10:18 Kerri Strug.. she sprained her ankle and damaged the tendon in an earlier attempt... which is why she's hopping on one foot at the end there. She had to be carried to the winner's podium to claim her gold medal.
At 5:15 that's Jackie Robinson, first black player in what was then considered the Major Leagues. (MLB has since classified certain Negro Leagues as being Major Leagues prior to Integration.)
So who was the first white player in professional baseball and who was the furst Asuan and whoops was the first Husoanic? Don't be racia much
@@Steve-gx9ot what are you on about?
@@Steve-gx9ot there was no first white player. The first Asian player and Hispanic players(I assume that's what you mean) aren't widely recognized seeing as how the color barrier had already been broken allowing them to play. By Jackie Robinson.
Grow up
At 6:07 that's Brandi Chastain scoring the World Cup-winning spot-kick in the 1999 final against China for the U.S.'s second Cup in only 3 editions of the women's tournament.
also it was in front of a sold out Rose Bowl. and one of the largest crowds for an international soccer game, men or women.
The Felix Baumgartner jump actually had a pretty scary moment where he was in a spin and it started to put him out of control during his freefall, so he didn't break the record for longest freefall, held by Kittinger since 1960.
Really good video. Lots of moments I recognize and some that I don't.
At 20:16 that's a very fast runner, Terrence Long, who was already at 2nd base when the ball was caught in right field. Normally him getting to third would be automatic. Normally, however, Ichiro Suzuki isn't in right field. This was the play that made everyone realize Ichiro wasn't just good at hitting. Said Ichiro in a postgame interview: "I don't understand. Why did he run when I was going to throw him out?". And the answer, of course, is he's never seen anyone make that fast and accurate a throw from right field to 3rd base.
I know I'm really late to this one, but I've been around since day one. You guys are the best. I just wanted to let you know that appreciate your love for the calls. I was so proud when you predicted the Joe Buck call. The next level is recognizing when your favorite announcers are paying homage to their favorite announcers. That is my absolute favorite.
After taking a pretty careful count I can say with confidence I was watching 53 of those moments as they happened. That does not count a bunch that I saw as highlights as they happened while watching another game or later that day. I did include the Miracle on Ice even though that was tape delay.
Some of the most memorable for me would include The Immaculate Reception, Sea of Hands, The Catch, Riggins, the Blackhawks stunning Boston fans, who were a minute and change from forcing Game 7 only to see Chicago score 2 quick goals to win another Cup. Mets win Game 6 (Buckner), Mario undressing Stars D in Finals……
If you wanna feel old, Chris Davis (who ran back the Auburn kick-six) has a son that's gonna be playing college football soon
Secretariat winning the '73 Belmont is a top 20 all time moment. Deeney's goal at the death is another one of my favourites.
If you go back to your reaction to perfect games from a week or two ago, this (18:52) is the spectacular 9th inning catch that saved Mark Buehrle's perfect game. This is literally the greatest catch in MLB history.
Very good. Need to lengthen the footage of both Canada hockey goals--the first to beat the Russians--Mario Lemieux to Gretsky, back to Lemieux for the score (the two best on the same team workin' it), and Sidney Crosby's golden goal for the Olympic gold.
I've genuinely watched this video before you guys reacted to it. Pretty good as these things go, and it showed me a few I didn't know about too.
18:22 Jadaveon Clowney... of the University of South Carolina, in perhaps the greatest instance of over-hype on social media over just one play, parlayed this single play into the overall number one draft pick, and while he has been a more than serviceable player, he wasn't worth the number one overall pick.
Mount Rushmore for Pittsburgh sports is The Immaculate Reception (by far the greatest moment in Pittsburgh sports forever), Bill Mazeroski's home run in the bottom of the 9th of game 7 to win the 1960 World Series, James Harrison's 100 yard pick six in Super Bowl 43, and the winning Big Ben to Santonio Holmes TD from the same game.
Mount Rushmore across all sports I follow is the Miracle on Ice, Tiger Woods winning the 2019 Masters, The Immaculate Reception, and Ayrton Senna finally winning his home Brazilian GP in 1991.
The worst moment for Raider fans.
Not sure if it's in, and the recorded version cut out the error, but given we had the Indy 500 at the weekend, the eulogy that Sid Collins gave for Eddie Sachs in 1964 absolutely, absolutely deserves a place on this list.
For context, Sachs and Dave MacDonald were killed in a first lap horror crash. Collins, who was at the time the chief announcer, or Voice of the 500, delivered an on air eulogy for Sachs that had, in 1964, 30,000 people writing in to request a transcript of the eulogy. I'll put it here, from Wikipedia:
"It is with deepest regret that we make this announcement. Driver Eddie Sachs was fatally injured in the accident on the mainstraightaway."
Silence was heard on-air for about five seconds, and at that point, Collins chimed in with a solemn, unprepared eulogy:[28]
You heard the announcement from the public address system. There's not a sound. Men are taking off their hats. People are weeping, over three hundred thousand fans, here; not moving; disbelieving. Some men try to conquer life in a number of ways. These days of our outer space attempts, some men try to conquer the universe. Race drivers are courageous men who try to conquer life and death, and they calculate their risks. And in our talking with them over the years, I think we know their inner thoughts in regards to racing: they take it as part of living. No one is moving on the race track. They're standing silently. A race driver who leaves this earth mentally, when he straps himself into the cockpit, to try what for to him is the biggest conquest he can make, is aware of the odds, and Eddie Sachs played the odds. He was serious and frivolous. He was fun. He was a wonderful gentleman. He took much needling and he gave much needling. And just as the astronauts do perhaps, these boys on the race track ask no quarter and they give none. If they succeed they're a hero, and if they fail, they tried. And it was Eddie's desire, I'm sure, and will to try with everything he had, which he always did. So the only healthy way perhaps we can approach the tragedy of the loss of a friend like Eddie Sachs is to know that he would have wanted us to face it, as he did: as it has happened, not as we wish it would have happened. It is God's will, I'm sure, and we must accept that. We're all speeding towards death at the rate of sixty minutes every hour. The only difference is that we don't know how to speed faster, and Eddie Sachs did. So as since death has a thousand or more doors, Eddie Sachs exits this earth in a race car. And knowing Eddie, I assume that's the way he would have wanted it...
...Byron said 'who the gods love, die young'. Eddie was 37. To his widow Nance we extend our extreme sympathy and regret. And to his two children. This boy won the pole here in 1961 and 1962 [sic],[28] and was a proud race driver. Well, as we do at Indianapolis and in racing: as the World Champion Jimmy Clark I'm sure would agree, as he's raced all over the world: the race continues. Unfortunately today, without Eddie Sachs. And we'll be restarting it in just a few moments.
Sid Collins, 1964. Sid would take his own life in 1977 after being diagnosed with ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Sid flubbed a little bit and messed up when he spoke about Sachs pole positions so the recording has a few (I think five?) seconds of silence.
Or, for a lighter note, and it may be in the video (I'm only halfway through as of this comment), the 1982 Indy 500 finish, specifically the radio broadcast. There's a video of the last several dozen laps. THe IMS Radio crew rightly won awards for that.
Context for this one, not as sad as the above.
Gordon Johncock (yes that is his name, don't laugh)a and future 4 time winner Rick Mears were locked in a duel to the finish, both pitted and came out as the two leaders, and both had nobody in front of them. The IMS Radio crew did an amazing job as the laps wound down, and both Johncock and Mears were running nose to tail. Gordy was quicker and able to pull just enough at the very end of the 5/8ths of a mile straights and the short chutes to just fend off Rick who would close up down the straight. Gordy and Rick were at times side by side but Gordy would pull just ahead. It would turn out to be Gordy's second and final win, his first was the tragic 1973 Indy 500, marred by rain and two fatal accidents, one to Swede Savage and another to a crew member who was hit by a fire truck rushing up the pit lane to get to Savage's wreck.
Also 1992, both the radio and TV broadcasts. Paul Page, the chief announcer in 1982, had moved to TV by this time. Bob Jenkins took over (yes that one, NASCAR legend and Indy fanatic at heart), had taken the slot Page vacated in 1988. Both are amazing calls in their own way. Page and Jenks (who was the turn 4 announcer for the radio in 1982) were involved in the two closest Indy finishes of all time.
At 31:21 that's The Flip by Derek Jeter in the 2001 playoffs against Oakland. It's important to note here he is a shortstop, and as such had absolutely no business being anywhere near close enough to make that play. The ball was hit to right field, and the first baseman was supposed to relay the throw home from the right fielder, and the pitcher was standing a few feet back of the first baseman as back-up. Jeter had gone over to the pitcher's mound to watch the play, immediately realized the right fielder's throw was going to airmail everybody, and took off at a dead sprint to not only intercept the throw, but somehow contort his body to throw it to home plate with enough speed to get the runner out. Credit also the catcher for being in position and looking the correct direction, I think a lot of catchers wouldn't have been ready for that throw!
You need to watch the Jimmy Valvano speech...somewhat short but very moving
The sprinter was Jesse Owens in the Berlin Games before WW2
13:48 always makes me so happy, no matter how bad my day has been. 😂😂
Best part about the kick 6 is that crazy catch they had vs Georgia in this video was the week prior to the kick 6
22:41 This was from a 1979 game between the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers. Things got so out of hand, a few players climbed into the stands to fight with a few fans. Boston's Terry O'Reilly is who you see climbing up a few rows. Also from that same brawl, Mike Milbury took a spectator's shoe off and hit him several times with it.
Gotta add the 2013 Freedom 100 finish. One of the greatest race finishes of all time.
23:22 This was from the 1987 IIHF World Junior Championships. It was a brawl known as the Punch-up in Pestany, in what was then still part of Czechoslovakia. Many players on the ice for both Canada and the Soviet Union were involved in this. As a result of this, both teams were disqualified from the tournament. It's quite the bizarre story if you want to read further into this incident.
Kirk Gibson's walk-off home run in the 1988 World Series. Lump in throat everytime.
At 3:00 I think that is MLB, a season opener in the Tokyo Dome. A few years they sent two teams over to play a couple regular season games a couple weeks before the rest of the season started.
Ahh ok! Thanks for the info!
@@DNReacts It actually wasn't an MLB game. It was made by the Hiroshima Toyo Carp's Masato Akamatsu th-cam.com/video/YaxpAkOWNM0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KC52FO34CJ76Eglc
@@DNReacts It's actually Masato Akamatsu of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.
At 16:20 I'm pretty sure this was the celebration after Japan beat 3-time champions USA in the 2011 Women's World Cup final, played a few months after the big earthquake/tsunami that messed up the Fukushima power plant.
The Auburn - Georgia game was the week before the Kick 6. Back to back games for those game.
The Boise State vs OU clip didn’t even show the best part, after that touchdown they decided to go for the 2 point conversion to win right there instead of go into overtime and they got scored to win the Fiesta Bowl, which at the time was the 2nd most prestigious bowl game behind the national championship game.
They showed it later in the video, I haven’t finished the reaction yet; but the original video has it later
So many moments where I remember exactly where I was, who I was with.
Dale senior winning the Daytona 500 finally.
The greatest video on youtube.
The guy who created it is an Oregon Duck, so that's why the Kenny Layton interception in is there against Washington along with some other memorable Portland sports moments (I live just east of there in Troutdale). Yet he's conscious enough about international sports to throw in some great moments from rugby, cricket, Aussie football & the Felix freefall. This is where I 1st saw the last second Watford goal. A truly remarkable collection. He's the same guy who's done the College Football Miracles series; check that out, y'all.
I love how they pause the video so they can give context to the soccer clips and in the comments everyone is giving them context on the American sports clips lol
Greatest sports moments. Many but start with Kirk Gibson home run in World Series versus Dodgers. Also, Texas Rangers one out from winning World Series against St. Louis Cardinals. Franco Harris TD catch against Raiders.
That was a NPB, the Japanese baseball league, that’s why you haven’t seen that clip before. It’s a great league, you guys should check it out. The games would be in the morning for you guys.
23:59 that’s my school!!! We are a smaller university but since this game have built a giant-slaying reputation
At 20:00 whenever people react to this video sometimes don’t know the full scale to that play for the saints. This was the first game back in the super dome after hurricane Katrina and totally destroyed the city after not playing a single home game because of it the year before. Even at one point it seemed the saints wouldn’t even come back to New Orleans. They did fortunately. And Not only was it the first game back after a travesty but against an arch rival nonetheless. And not only that but the man who blocked the punt Steve Gleason has ASL aka Lou Gehrig’s disease. As someone who grew up just outside of New Orleans this play brings more tears than happieness.
I was waiting for a George Best goal, dinking it over all the defenders. "Ballad of George Best" by Finbar Furry...
I'm with you guys on the Deeney goal. I didn't start watching the EPL until it started being broadcast in the US until the 2011-12 season...so my knowledge base is only a decade...but when I saw that goal to send Watford to Wembley for a chance at promotion...it doesn't get much more spine tingling then that.
Btw...pub quiz. What's a Barton Treble?
An Elbow...a head butt...and a kick. Joey Barton = Legend 😎
22:08 is when the US made it to the quarterfinals and Tim Howard became the Secretary of Defense, setting a record for most saves in a World Cup game with 16 in the quarterfinal vs Belgium. Even though the US lost and Howard gave up 2 goals in extra time, he was named Man of the Match. The USA's back line was so bad that game, Belgium kept getting behind them and Howard was just turning away every shot.
Almost. This was the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and the game where Tim Howard made all those saves in the 2-1 loss to Belgium was in the round of 16, not a quarterfinal. In the 2002 World Cup in Japan/South Korea we made it to the quarterfinals against Germany, and only an uncalled Torsten Frings handball prevented our equalizing goal that could have given us a chance at the Semis.
I get really excited watching soccer ( football ) videos where a player lies on the field ( pitch ) screaming in fake pain for 5 minutes because an opposing player looked at him .
9:59 the context for this one is the Arizona Diamondbacks were only in their 4th season of existence and they made it not only to the World Series, but took the most successful team in baseball 7 games and then won with a bottom of the 9th walk off at home.
Plus this was also only a few weeks after 9/11 and they beat the New York Yankees.
the hockey player in the stands wasn't just one. it was the whole bruins team in the stands of madison square garden after a rangers fan stole one of their sticks at the end of the game. it was NOT smart to start a fight with the entire 70s bruins lineup at once
The John Brooks goal was from our opening match of the 2014 World Cup and earned a crucial revenge victory over Ghana after they'd eliminated the USA in the first round of the knockouts at the previous World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Ghana had also dealt the USA a death blow at World Cup 2006, beating them on the final day of the group stage to send them crashing out. After the opening match victory over Ghana in 2014, the USA advanced but then lost to Belgium in the first round of the knockouts. In 2002 Korea/Japan, we opened the tourney with a huge 3-2 upset of Luis Figo and Portugal whom many had picked as favorites to win it all that year. We then tied hosts South Korea and lost to Poland but still advanced to the knockouts where we beat Mexico 2-0 then outplayed Germany but lost 1-0. Sidenote from that match vs. Germany, our current manager, Gregg Berhalter, nearly scored the equalizer on a corner but was robbed when Törsten Frings' clearly handled the ball on the goaline to keep it out. We really should've won that game but simply did not finish our chances and then had the tough break of not being awarded a pen on what replay showed to be a clear handball. That said, one of our midfielders got away with a very blatant "hand of God" like clearance in our previous match vs. Mexico so we really couldn't be too upset. Regardless, 2002 was our best performance at a World Cup to date and really caused quite a stir back home. The last-gasp Donovan goal vs. Algeria in 2010 was another special moment, as England were set to win the group and we were going home until that moment. It was in added time, and England would've won the group had the result held, but with that goal, we actually went from going home to winning the group (but of course, we then lost to Ghana, in extra time, in the first round of the knockouts).
22:10 - Yep, that was the '14 WC, and that goal was the first time a sub had scored for the US at the WC (Haji Wright's goal vs. NED at the last WC is the 2nd). The fact that this was scored against Ghana, who had knocked the US out of the past two WCs, made it all the better.
Got knocked out at the Round of 16 by Belgium (%@#$%$#@ Wondolowski) in a game that saw Tim Howard set the record for saves in a WC game with 16.
Ive never seen that Leicester Watford clip. Legitimately got chills
It’s an insane clip!
JESSIE OWENS WAS A OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETE, ACTUALLY RAN IN THE HORSESHOE WHEN THEY HAD A TRACK
At 6:33 this appears to be the winning goal in West Germany's win over Hungary in 1954, based on some reverse image searching.
Coming from a US dude… that Leicester clip was incredible!! I can’t imagine the exhilaration/pain felt by the fans in the span of 15-20 seconds!!
2:30 - In fairness, I've never seen that one before either.
4:37 - This set comes hard and fast. First is Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Next was a reel that commemorated Joe DiMaggio's record breaking and still record holding 56-game hitting streak. Then the Ballotelli "why always me' t-shirt goal celebration against United. Then Nadia Comăneci in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.
5:04 - That is Ayrton Senna on the left and Alain Prost on the right. Probably from Prost's final championship season in 1993. Y'all video box blocked out our view of Schumacher so I can't tell what he's wearing which would probably better peg the year.
7:10 - This was TJ Oshie (then of the Blues, now of the Capitals) in the EIGHTH round of the shootout during the group stage of the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. Olympic hockey group stage games go straight to a 3 round shootout if tied after regulation and they also allow shooters to repeat after the third round so Oshie took the first shot and scored and then took shots 4 through 8, scoring 3 of those five times while the Russians alternated using Ilya Kovalchuk and Pavel Datsyuk. Oshie was not very well known at the time but became a legend, at least to me for this performance.
7:27 - It's actually Althea Gibson.
7:44 - The black power protest of Tommie Smith and John Carlos at the 1968 Olympics. There are a lot of great docs and videos out there about all the crap that they took for that but it is now looked at as a fantastic moment and a true image of how sports, culture, and politics are inextricably linked whether you like it or not.
9:22 - And to think, Leicester went from this moment, to almost winning the Championship the next season, to being in a Premier League relegation battle the season after that, to being Premier League Champions the year after that. All of that in a matter of 3 calendar years.
10:17 - Kerry Strug, 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. She had severely twisted her ankle and fell the vault before but the US needed her to stick the landing to win gold and she went back up there and nailed it on virtually one leg to take it home.
10:22 - Minneapolis Miracle. 2018 NFC Divisional Round. Legendary and unlikely moment but the Vikings would go on to get shellacked by the eventual champion Eagles in the Conference Championship.
12:01 - I have a good friend who went to this game and sat in the front row of the right field bleachers and can be seen jumping up and down when the ball goes over the wall.
13:58 - The New York Giants won the pennant over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Nicknamed the Shot Heard 'Round the World (the same nickname of the first shots of the American Revolutionary War) it was Bobby Thompson's game winning home run in the final game of the three-game playoff to determine 1951 National League champion. The Giants were big underdogs and would lose in 6 to the Yankees in the World Series but it was a huge moment in a fierce local rivalry that goes back to the beginnings of the National League and continues to be fierce long after the 2 moved to California.
14:22 - The Prayer at Jordan-Hare. Would have been the greatest moment of Auburn's season if not for the Kick 6. Yes. They were the same season.
20:01 - This was the Saints first game back in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. They played a few home games at LSU as the Superdome was being repaired. This was a big healing moment for the team and the city and they even made a statue of this block outside the stadium.
22:10 - This was 2014 but they only made the second round although they did take Belgium to the brink during the game that saw Tim Howard crowned the US Secretary of Defense. 2002 was when they made the quarterfinals and lost 1-0 to Germany after we were the better team for a large portion of the game and a US shot was batted off the line by the outstretched arm of German Torsten Frings but the ref didn't see it. To Damo's point though, both 2010 with the Donovan goal and 2014 also helped garner attention for the team more because of how they played than how far they got.
35:24 - Former NC State head basketball coach Jim Valvano (Jimmy V) accepting the first ever Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the first ever ESPN Espy Awards in 1993. Drop everything you're doing and watch it now and then read a story about it for any further context.
Watching City v QPR live on satellite tv (wasn't much of a soc- i mean football fan, but it was on and i was bored) actually made me wish American sports decided champions on the last day of a season and playoffs were a separate entity. We'll never get that level of synchronized insanity
Sometimes I'll test people and text them "here's Hogg..." to see if they reply "DEENEYYYY" lol
Love that 😂 such an amazing moment!
Some people are surprised when i tell them i can get into watch almost any sport
14:22, I don't know if you already know this but those 2 plays involving Auburn happened 2 weeks apart.
I love this compilation
10:15 - she did this on a broken ankle to win the gold. That’s why the landing is on one foot.
The Kris Jenkins shot to beat Carolina in the 2016 National Championship game (toward the end of the video)
I was at that game. I’m a huge UNC fan. Devastating. We had a great redemption run the next year to win it, which helps take the sting away a little
Jimmy V that's my pick! That speech is inspirational! RIP to a great!
Zenyatta winning the 2009 Breeders Cup championship still gives me goosebumps.
At 7:02 that's 100% Derek Jeter, a much better defensive shortstop than he got credit for
I don't get why, in compilations like this, John Stockton's game winning 3 point shot to send Utah to the 97 Finals is always left out.
NO LARRY BIRD??? That’s missing a huge clutch character. “Bird steels the ball!” is one of the greatest calls in NBA history… Also, no auto racing, like Senna’s lap of the gods???
Best I ever seen as a Canadian was my Liverpools comeback against Barca at home down 3 nil in Champions league....NEVER seen anything like it maybe never will again
YNWA. This was awesome! I was jumping around my living room!
@DNReacts exactly the same! Also singing YNWA from my townhouse balcony at the time 😆NEVER felt more like a fan in my life!
Bird steals the ball
10:17 Kerri Strug did that with an injured leg.
Not a gymnastics fan and it’s def not my favorite moment but y’all missed the context for the gymnast chick who landed on one foot. I think she was like 14-15(still a kid really) or something, got injured really badly and missed multiple jumps because she couldn’t land with the injury. People that saw didn’t think she’d even try to go again, but she did and nailed the landing and pose on one leg. The clip in here cut off but immediately after that she just falls to the ground. She’s like 2m in the air, flipping extremely fast and the amount of force shes got to take on the landing is nuts. People have trouble and can risk injury trying that either way two feet. To think she nailed it with one. Respect
Don’t know if you guys have ever seen it but I’d love to watch your guys reaction to “art of the choke” by emplemon on TH-cam. Great video
Awesome video/ can you please react to a documentary called 30 FOR 30 ELWAY TO MARINO.
At 10:00 this is the closest American sports has come to Leicester City winning the Premier League. The Diamondbacks joined MLB as an expansion team in 1998, and were as bad as expected going 65-97. Meanwhile the Yankees won their 35th AL pennant and 24th World Series since acquiring Babe Ruth in 1920.
The Diamondbacks surprised everyone with a 100-62 record the next year, but went out in the first round of the playoffs against the Mets. Meanwhile, the Yankees won their 36th pennant and 25th world series.
The next year, 2000, the Diamondbacks regressed a bit, going 85-77 and missing the playoffs. Meanwhile the Yankees won AL Pennant 37 and World Series 26.
So heading into the World Series in 2001, the Diamondbacks had yet to play a season in which the Yankees had not won the World Series. And, well, the best is better explained by the secret base rewind video I'll leave in the discord.
You should definitely look more into Linsanity!
