The 1993 Campbell Conference Finals, the 1997 Memorial Cup Semi-Finals, and Halladay's broken leg last season all really bummed me out...

1993 was a the first good Leafs team in a long time, and the first one I was around for, winning the first two rounds in seven games, then going up 3-2 on LA in the semis before losing in OT in game 6, then losing by 1 in game 7 at home... that Habs/Leafs final would've been great

1997 was the first time I got to see the Generals do anything decent (I missed the Lindros years by a few months), they won the OHL championship in OT and then made it to the semis of the memorial cup before losing in overtime to Lethbridge... heartbreak.

Halladay's broken leg really hurt because we were actually surprisingly in the race at that point, only 4 games out at the All-Star Break with Halladay about to start the All-Star Game and well on his way to his 2nd Cy Young Award... but all of that vanished instantly with a line drive off the bat of Kevin Mench.

1986- The Angels was one strike away from their 1st ever trip to the world Series when Dave Henderson hit that monster home run off Donnie Moore in the ALCS. The Red Sox went to the World Series and the Angels was cursed until 2002.

1991- Matt Barr GW Field Goal in the NFC Finals vs. my 49ers

2000- The Jaguars beat my Dolphins 96-2 in the playoff.

My Dolphins blew a 28-pts leads vs the Jets on MNF.

2001- 49ers losing to the Bears and costing themself a home playoff game for being greedy. :mad:

Ed Sprague's homer, Lonnie Smith's baserunning gaffe, Puckett's game 6 walkoff, Leyritz' homer, Livan Hernandez' 8 foot strikezone - all killing the Braves in dramatic fashion.

1981 NFC Divisional Playoff where the Cowboys upset the Falcons.

Flames leaving for Calgary.

Oilers choke-of-the-century AFC Playoff at Buffalo.

Super Bowl XXXIII...dreams of the Dirty Birds winning the Super Bowl, shot down by Eugene Robinson's midnight escapades and John Elway's policies of taking no prisoners.

2004 NFC Championship Game...Not really depressing, just frustrating because I knew that we were better than we played in that game. Sure we would've gotten blown out of the water by the Pats, but we would've been there dammit.

Week 2 2003 Preseason...Vick goes down. Nuff said.

Watching Mississippi State play football as of late has been depressing. I remember we lost to Maine...on homecoming. Sad days, those were/are.

The Braves playoff woes don't depress me as much since I'm used to it, but don't even get me started on the Hawks...

Chargers/Steelers AFC Playoff game when the Steelers needed 3 yards to go to SB XXIX

Avs over Devils in Game 7 of the Cup Finals giving Ray Borque(sp?) his ring
