This one is kind of mean spirited, but here goes...


I loathed Bud Adams when -

a) He fired Bum Phillips

b) He moved the Oilers to Tennessee.


There were other incidents that made him a particularly reprehensible owner, but those two stood out. Anyway, it was incredibly satisfying to see the Titans fail by less than a yard in Super Bowl XXXIV when Dyson was tackled at the one yard line. (Liked Jeff Fisher and the players, hated Bud Adams.)

I remember watching that game, too. A true classic.

I am not as nostalgic regarding baseball, since I stopped following the sport after the 1994 strike/lockout. However, Game 6 of the 1975 World Series between Cincinnati and Boston was the best baseball game I ever saw. Carlton Fisk's home run off the foul pole completed a game just filled with drama.

The best part of that game was the next game.

Someone's a Reds fan.

The best part of that game was the next game.

Honestly, other than knowing Cincy won the game, I do not remember anything about that Game 7. I wasn't a fan of either team (I rooted for the hometown Tigers until I stopped following baseball), but was just a kid captivated by the drama of that Game 6.

Game 7 was another great game. The Sox lead most of the way. Reds tied in the 7th and then scored the eventual winning run in the 9th.


From Baseball Almanac:

Game 7 appeared to have picked up right where Game 6 had begun, as Boston seized a 3-0 lead in the third inning. However, the Reds remained determined, and Perez nabbed a two-run homer in the sixth off left-hander Bill Lee. Pete Rose tied the game 3-3, scoring on a Tony Perez single. The deadlock would last until the ninth. Griffey led off with a walk and managed to reach third on a sacrifice and a groundout. Jim Burton intentionally walked Rose, but Morgan knocked a clutch single up the middle for the 4-3 lead. Will McEnaney made the lead stand up with a 1-2-3 ninth and the Reds emerged as World Champions...with or without a little help from the curse of "The Babe."
