We all know my choice, but I'm curious as to everyone else's choice. We all have different opinions, so in your opinion what is the greatest feat in sports history?

Ah yes, you like that photo of a pencil erasing the word impossible, I knew you would.
Come on my ducklings, don't be shy, tell Uncle Dragon your greatest sports feat.
DD I'll start by mentioning the US mens olympic hockey team in 1980.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
2004 ALCS Red Sox come from behind against the Yankees!
Great choices so far, I have to admit, I'm anxiously awaiting the mention of a certain name to appear in this thread, and I'm a little shocked it hasn't already. Here's a hint, he used to make runs to Dinky Donuts for Tara Reid.
Almost anything Wayne Gretzky did in hockey.
The greatest feat I saw during my lifetime was the Brady led Patriots come from behind Super Bowl win against the Falcons. That was some serious voodoo sh*t. There is no bigger stage then that.
My phone was blowing up when the Pats were down 28-3 from my so called friends who were harassing me. I actually started to turn the TV off when my inner voice said, " No! You have to take the bad with the good." So I sold my soul to the devil and rest is history. So while I'm burning in hell please take a moment to thank me. It was worth it

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I was waiting for Brady's name to be mentioned, nicely done sir.
Speaking of Tom Brady, did you know he used to make trips to Dinky Donuts for Tara Reid?
i watched this entire 7-game series. not only were the Sox down 3-0 in games, but they were also down a run in the 9th in G4 with Mariano Rivera on the mound.
the one play from that series i will never forget? Dave Roberts narrowly stealing 2nd in that 9th inning to get in scoring position. then scoring the tying run on a single. then Boston winning in extras. then Boston winning the next 3 games. then Boston sweeping the Cardinals in the WS.
3 outs from death against the greatest closer of all time, then winning 8 straight games to hoist the commissioner's trophy.
that, my friends, is some improbable sh*t.

28-3 for me
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Miracle on ice is tops. College kids beating KGB professionals with guns in their waste bands is far more than any sporting event in the last 100 years. And yes in the exhibition game they had guns. The American team got rolled.

The North Face of the Eiger is a vertical wall of rock and ice 5,900 feet high in Switzerland. It is one of the deadliest climbs in the world and it killed the first nine men who tried to climb it and has killed many more since. It is nicknamed the "Wall of Death" for a reason. I also have to say that the first guys to climb the famous North Face of the Eiger deserve their recognition. They were Anderl Heckmair, Ludwig Vorg, Heinrich Harrer, and Fritz Kasperek and they climbed it in 1938. Climbing is one of the most dangerous sports in the world, I can't count how many people have died trying to climb a mountain, whether it be the Eiger, Mount Everest, K2, Nanga Parbat, or any other number of mountains, the sport is deadly and it kills people left and right, always has and always will. These places are unforgiving and this sport is unforgiving and you have to be a special breed to climb, you have to be prepared to die. A lot of people that set out to climb a mountain never make it back alive, and you really can't say that about any other sport.
Fred "The Foot" Cox must have had at least one of the greatest, his nick-name says it all.
Now are we talking game, season, career...? Because those are VERY different things.

Wall of death
Two of my least favorite things
Falling and frost bite. I’ll pass thank you.

A lot of impossible stuff has happened in sports... Coming from an Atlanta falcon fan. But some of you might be too young to remember.... But the more I think about it .... Buster Douglas vs Mike Tyson. That seriously shook the world that night!
I used to lift in college but these lifters are amazing - "Georgian weightlifter Lasha Talakhadze sets new world record in snatch"

2004 ALCS Red Sox come from behind against the Yankees! > @galaxy27 said:
Haha thanks bud! I remember this play and saw the entire series. I remember after the Yankees completely embarrassed the Sox scoring 19 runs or whatever to go up 3-0 in the series. I was at a bar in my town and went into the bathroom with my head down right before that game ended and this kid was in there annihilated drunk and looked at me and said “Relax, they will come back and win the whole thing. They might even win tonight” lol. I remember just laughing him off but he was right about the series!!! A very interesting tid bit about me and 3 buddies climbing Mount Washington in June of 2004. We get almost to the top of the mountain and my buddy takes his Red Sox hat and writes “2004 World Series” on it and buries it, well that’s two prophecies filled that year. Both true stories 100%
.......
Great story! Thanks for sharing! That was an amazing thing that happened and your friend's hat was part of the magic!

😂 And he also introduced the world to "nerf" balls. That in itself might be in the running.
