I know everyone here has a game on tape/dvd that you love to just keep watching..... mine is the 1971 All Star game at Tiger Stadium! The fact that it's there is just a bonus! This game had EVERYTHING! You see 22 Hall of famers in this and most did what they are famous for! You see Brooks Robinson making awesome plays, you see Reggie, F. Robinson, Hammerin Hank, Bench, Clemente and Killebrew all hitting homeruns...... Reggie tags this blast that hits the light tower while still on its way up....Bench smashes an opposite-field line drive into the left-centerfield bleachers- unheard of in Tiger Stadium!!! I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Would be another 5 years until my birth but still........besides, my dad was at this game and Bench's HR nearly took his head off!

So....what are y'all's faves?

    I have two: 1985 Superbowl, and the Elite 8 Game from 2005 between Illinois and Arizona when Illinois came back from 15 down with 4 minutes to go to send the game into overtime and ultimately win. I've watched both these games dozens of times, and could continue watching them over and over.

    As some of you know , I am a huge John Elway FREAK , I have most of his games on video , but my favorite one to watch is ,

    Jan. 11th 1987 game versus the Cleveland Browns !

    I know there are just over a handful of great quarterbacks, but for me Elway was the best and the most exciting to watch , I remember my father telling me when Elway played for Stanford , this kid is amazing, keep your eye on this one and I guess from that point on , I have always enjoyed watching him play.

    1988 NCAA champ. game, KU. vs. Oklahoma. All the experts were saying Kansas couldn't run with Oklahoma, who averaged 104 points per game, but at the half it was tied 50-50. Danny Manning finished with 31 points, 18 rebounds and 5 steals and KU won 83-79.

    George Brett's performance in the 1985 ALCS against the Blue Jays, particularly Game 3, with the Royals down 2 games to none. Brett goes 4-4, two homers, a double, a single and four runs scored. And the Royals need all of his heroics, scratching out a 6-5 win to put them back in the series they eventually win.

    I second WS 1988 Game one with Gibby's looper.
    I also like to watch the first Game 3 of the 1989 WS once every few years.

    Super Bowl 37 - Bucs v. Raiders. I can't watch it enough. After all those horrible games I had to sit through over the years, it was a great payoff.
  • mbothnermbothner Posts: 762 ✭✭✭
    I have a video tape I recorded from AFN network in Germany of the Redskins and Broncos Superbowl. I love watching the second quarter when the Redskins scored 35 which was such a contrast to the first quarter when they could not do anything right. Best game Doug Williams ever had.

    Steamboat/Savage Wrestlemania 3. Someone once told me all wrestling is fake, but that would mean Savage never really crushed Steamboat's larynx with the steel bell. So I suppose Steamboat was faking all those speech classes he had to take as a result? And Piper never really smashed Snuka upside the head with two coconuts? Whatever.

    North Dallas Forty,

    when Nick Nolte, err Phillipp Elliott, err Peter Gent wakes up at the beginning of the movie and smokes a joint, drinks an already open Budweiser & gulf down a handfull of painkillers, all before reporting to the North Dallas Bulls, err Dallas Cowboys training facility.

    Great movie, 1 of my favorite sports movies of all time, not as good as original Longest Yard, but in same category.

    Without a doubt Super Bowl XXIX when the 49ers defeated the Chargers 49-26. Less than five minutes into the first quarter, it was 14-0 49ers and the game was over.

    I recall my friends saying with the 49ers scoring so early, any chances of a good game were gone. Good game? Good game?! I've always said that if "your" team is in the Super Bowl, the last thing you want is a good game. You want your team to score early and often so that there is no doubt as to who is going to win. The last thing I wanted was a good game. I wanted a blow out and that's what I got.

    Super Bowl XXIV when the 49ers defeated th Broncos 55-10 is a close second as that was not a good game as well.

    Regardless of what I think of him now, I have Clemen's 20K game against the Mariners in '86 on tape. I've yet to see another game in which a pitcher completely dominated the other team like that with just power alone. Even in his second 20K against the Tigers, he relied a little on guile as well as his fastball. In this game however, Clemens was a slim, young 24 year old stud who knew nothing but heat. Quite a performance.

    I don't know if I can articulate how much I hate that game. I'm a die hard OU fan who otherwise cheers for the non-bcs schools. Not only was it a heartbreak but I missed out on a game that I would have otherwise loved, and everyone else gets to enjoy it. Just awful...

    If Wrestling counts - definitely Savage vs. Ted Dibiase for the title at Wrestlemania IV. If not, I'll say:

    Wake Forest/West Virginia from the NCAA tournament from a few years back (2nd best game I've ever seen)
    Gonzaga/Michigan St from the Las Vegas Inv. in 2005. Neither team missed a shot in the last 10 minutes or in OT. Morrison and Ager had like 40 each. This was the greatest college basketball game I ever saw.
    1984 NBA Finals Lakers Celtics Game 4
    1986 ALCS Game 5 Red Sox/Angels (Hendu's HR)
    1991 NBA Playoffs Rd. 1 Celtics Pacers Game 5 (when Larry Bird ruined Chuck Person's career)
    1969 NBA Finals Game 7 Celtics/Lakers (When the Lakers had the balloons in the celiing and never were able to drop them). This was Bill Russell's last game

    and of course

    I agree with Gibson's HR and the Boise State game.

    Another I have on tape which is probably not a big deal to others is the '94 East-West Shrine Game. I can't remember the guy's name, Tex Schram (or something like that) who was a scout with the Cowboy's at the time was hyping up a young Larry Allen during that game.

    Another great one I have on tape is a Monday night football game from about '96 when Larry Allen ran down the guy who had intercepted the ball. The announcers were going crazy as Larry came out of nowhere to make the tackle. One of the quotes was something like, "young Larry Allen is from Sonoma State... like a fine wine he ran the guy down...." Good stuff to me.

    Personal bias aside, i gotta agree with the Gibson blast......from game 5 in 1984. Love that game....love watching Goose talk Williams into letting him pitching to Gibby.....good stuff! Another fun one to watch is that 1979 game between the Cubs and Phillies when they just killed each other 23-22!

    One of the few to pick a regular season game but most of the Browns playoff games ended up with a loss to the Broncos so those have properly been destroyed.

    My favorite is the Browns over the Steelers late in the year when Erc Metcalf ran back two punts for TD's (the last one a 75 yarder intoi the dogpound with 2 minutes to go to give them the victory). There have been bigger wins but that may have been the most fun one to watch over and over.

    1986 Masters final round was great, especially the back 9. The game though I would watch tonight is the 1969 Rose Bowl as OSU fell behind USC & OJ 10-0 but came on to win 27-10. (ok 27-16 but the Ref blew it. I'm glad it didn't matter anyway)

    That mothers day Red Sox game never gets old.

    I'd love to see that 71 All-Star game. How could I get a copy of a game like that?

  • dalemurphycollectordalemurphycollector Posts: 85
    Props to you who said the final round of the 1986 Masters, there was a right up on that in a reader's digest that I bet I read 50 times. The Reader's Digest was placed in a very handy place. I'll let you guess where. My favorite game to watch again and again is the 1992 Sugar Bowl where Alabama ( Roll Tide Roll!!!!!!!!!!) beat the daylights out of Miami who was a 14 point favorite!! I have a copy of that on VHS and still break it out on occasion
