Most pro golfers would be thrilled to simply three-putt from there. Me, if I got down in four I'd be happy. I'd also be hitting driver - and not putter - from there... lol

I'll never forget sitting in the Palestra in Philadelphia watching a Big Five college basketball game, having just arrived with a friend of mine after a six hour drive from Boston. We knew the USA-USSR hockey game was in progress and was close in the second period. We had no updates after that,...

In addition, the voice of the color commentator analyzing Mike Eruzione's go-ahead goal was none other than that of Ken Dryden. Ken Dryden was the color commentator alongside Al Michaels for the ABC call of the game. That commentary is uncredited, and by itself makes this video a fraud as an 'o...

@rocknrollphilip Brad Park on the goal...

@TheLonia11 lol - not far off... it was 3-1...

@777JayWright777 The 1999 Champions League Final is the only finish that can even pretend to match this one. And that was TWO goals in stoppage time, bringing a team from the brink of defeat to an historic victory and the European Treble ( the Treble of which was 'stolen' from Bayern, for THEY w...

@f120104ever I think it meant that Bayern Munich was so close to victory that its name had already (practically) been engraved on the European Cup...

Geez! You'd think that in England, of all places on Earth, in the birthplace of soccer, that the TV networks won't cut to commercials during play, or simulcast the game and the commercial...

Heck - they don't even do that in the US any more...

Shameful!

And I miss the vuvuzelas... lol

And who was the young woman handing over the World Cup? It's rather amazing that 45 years later, she is still very much alive - Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II...

And in a little more than four years (September 2015), if she survives that long, she'll actually pass Queen Victoria as the lo...

No goal here. Lampard's obviously was a goal and that it was missed was a terrible call. That this was called a goal is certainly controversial since it literally decided the World Cup, but it was close enough so that I can see how it could have been ruled a goal. Lampard's 2010 goal was simpl...

@fulatl111 I agree. Based on two other videos I've seen, the ball was on the inside of the line. But still not completely over it in my opinion...

I'm sorry, there is no way that Hurst's shot crossed the line completely. No way whatsoever. Now Lampard's goal in 2010 - that's an entirely different matter. That was clearly across the line...

@FRSFreeStateES No - the Patriots were eliminated the previous week by the Colts LOSING to the Lions under VERY suspicous circumstances (a blocked punt returned for a TD by the Lions in the last minute of the game). Only the Dolphins (who the Patriots had BEATEN 14-10 in Foxboro the previous wee...

Janikowski's chance has past - he'll not do it now... Someone else will probably break it (Jason Elam has already tied it). It's tougher today in some ways than in 1970, because very long field goals will only be attempted at the end of a half or a game because the ball is spotted at the kick p...

A strike, right down the middle, FROM THE RUBBER (a 'legal' pitch). And knowing everyone on Planet Earth was going to see it - and even interpret it as a sign of strength or weakness. He simply had to get it right. And he did. THAT'S pressure. Say anything else you want about the man or his ...

I wonder how many major league pitchers would have thrown a strike under THAT kind of pressure? Maybe half...

I was prepared to NOTsee this game at the top of the list of the Big Ten fantastic finishes of the 1990s. Because the Big Ten always wins - right? Well, the Big Ten Network needs to show it has SOME credibility... and yes, this game (and play) made the top of the list. Right up there with the ...

Hey! Get that thing back to Boston pronto! lol

Fred Cusick and Bob Wilson must be smiling upstairs...

Next time we hear this for a game that is not the Bridgestone Classic, I have a feeling it will be prior to a game in Boston involving the defending Stanley Cup Champions...

Tim Thomas and Patrice Bergeron - the future of the Bruins...

Flash forward to June 15, 2011...

As Bergeron scores two goals in Game 7 of the SCF, Tim Thomas wins the Conn Smythe trophy, and The Bruins win the Stanley Cup...

How prophetic, Doc Emrich...

I'd like to know what ultimately happened to the house. I think more than just the roof was destroyed, I think the house was completely demolished... And the person who survived in the basement, boy was he lucky...

The tornado, from listening to the video, sounds as if it lasted about 25 seconds. This would put them in the 'outer edge' of the tornado, which simply means that the 300 MPH winds only lasted 25 seconds and not a full minute if the center of the tornado had passed over them. Of course, 25 seco...

Never realized that this was his first tornado. I'll bet he's never seen anything like it since, and that's 12 years...

@AnimeAspieFanatic No - the one that hit Flint was on June 8, 1953 and was an F5. The same weather system that hit Flint on June 8 also caused the Worcester, MA tornado (a strong F4) the next day.

Im sorry, but Van Impe's 'check' had plenty of 'cross' (i.e. stick) with it. I have no idea what the broadcasters are talking about - that was as legal as a counterfeit bill...

I still think about that 36-3-1 record (which of course was about to 37-3-1 with the most important win in Flyer history - before or since) and think how astounding that is. And most of the games were regular season games with no OT. In a lot of ways, this may well have been her most famous per...

Thundersnow is not that uncommon. I've seen it maybe a half-dozen times in my life (of course that means I've seen it about once every 7-8 years). Most memorable was during the Blizzard of 1978 in eastern Massachusetts. That was one heck of a storm...

Has he really been gone nine years? Boy has time flown by. Of course, TWC is likely the most important 'cable' channel (with the possible exception of CNN) of all. And John Hope was at the center of it...

There's another thunderclap near the end (1:25). It never ceases to amaze me how little respect umpires have for thunderstorms. It has to be raining to stop the game...

That's just crazy - the game should never have been started. And I have a feeling they were off the field within a few minute...
