In other words, best moments that happened during my life. Enjoy

1975 NFL Divisional Championship Game

★ Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings ★ December 28th, 1975

Dallas Cowboys at the frozen ass Minnesota Metrodome. After unbelievably converting a 4th and 26, the 'Pokes found themselves at the 50 yard line, no time outs and just 32 ticks left on the clock. Captain America took the snap out of the shotgun formation, pumped left and launched a bomb to the right where it literally stuck between Drew Pearson's hip and elbow. Momentum carried him into the end zone for the unlikely go-ahead score. After the game Staubach called it a miracle, a "Hail Mary". The term stuck and is now commonly used in the NFL to define last second miracle plays.

We have a new #2!

2023 World Series, Rangers vs. Diamondbacks, Globe Life Field

★ Rangers vs. Diamondbacks ★ October 27th, 2023

In one of the most unlikely World Series Matchups in the history of baseball my sad sack Rangers brought October Baseball back to the metroplex. Game One, World Series, Globe Life Field. I still can't believe I just typed those words. How can you top being back in the World Series? Start it off with a game one for the ages. Even unaffiliated baseball fans are calling this the best World Series game one of all time. In a tightly played game, the favored Rangers found themselves down 5 - 3 in the bottom of the ninth. Leody Taveras, in a great at bat, works Arizona closer Paul Sewald for an uncharacteristic walk. Next Marcus Simean strikes out swinging, bringing up red hot Corey Seager as the tying run. Fox play by play announcer Joe Davis states that "he could tie it up with one swing of the bat." Two seconds later he did just that. Seager murdered the first pitch he saw depositing the no doubter way back in the right field stands. He knew it was gone before he even finished his swing. THIS is why we invest so much into watching sports. To go from despair to elation in a heartbeat, I know now way of describing that feeling. The game would go into extra innings where an even red hotter Adolis Garcia walked it off on a opposite field home run. This will probably be the most remembered hit of the game, but it wouldn't have been possible without Seagers titanic blast. Oh yeah, the Rangers also went on to win the series 4-1 and completely erase the phrase Game 6 2011 from our psyche.

1987 MISL Championship, Game 7 (best of 7, tied 3-3)

★ Dallas Sidekicks vs. Tacoma Stars ★ June 20th, 1987

The Sidekicks were down 3-1 at a packed Tacoma Dome with just over 2 minutes to go in the game. The Sidekicks turned to a desperation move of pulling their goalie and using him as a sixth attacker, something that ended up disastrous every time they tried it during the regular season. Amazingly, with 2:25 to go in the game the move paid off and the 'Kicks were within a goal at 3-2. Staying with the 6th attacker lightning struck twice just 50 seconds later the Sidekicks knotted it at 3-3. The third period wound down and we were headed to overtime. With 4:25 left in the overtime period, the Sidekicks completed the unlikely comeback sealing their first MISL Championship with a top shelf blast off the left foot of Tatu, as the stunned crowd (21,728, the largest crowd to ever see and indoor soccer game at the time), looked on in utter disbelief.

Superbowl 12, Louisianna Superdome, New Orleans LA

★ Dallas Cowboys vs. Denver Broncos ★ January 15th, 1978

The 75,583 in attendance and millions watching on tv, saw the Dallas cowboys put an emphatic cherry on top of one of their most dominant seasons ever with one of the most dominant Superbowl wins ever. Dallas Orange Crushed the Denver Bronco's from whistle to whistle bringing home their second Lombardi back to Big D.

Stanley Cup Finals, Games 6 (best of 7, Dallas up 3-2)

★ Dallas Stars vs. Buffalo Sabres ★ June 19th, 1999

After 3 grinding periods of playoff hockey, 2 grueling overtimes, the Dallas Stars clinched their first Stanley Cup in the third overtime on a controversial goal (at least to the whining sore losers in Buffalo) from Brett Hull. Sabre fans still complain about the game winning goal, but what they all forget if they do disallow it and Buffalo wins, they still get their asses kicked in game 7. So, no use in bitching anyway.

2010 American League Championship Series

★ Texas Rangers vs. New York Yankees ★ October 22nd, 2010
