Best game you have ever watched?

Seriously Kramerica. Just say the final day of the 2011 regular season (because the NL was involved too). Don't go into a full page description of something that everyone know happened. As has been brought to your attention before, receiving the Longest Post of the Day is NOT an honor.

You say this as if I could actually care. If you don't want to read it, don't read it. Big deal. I'm not holding a gun to your head or insulting the Cardinals.

Games including my favorite teams:

Falcons: Easily, it's the 1998 (well, technically January 1999) NFC Championship Game at Minnesota. The Falcons managed to keep themselves in the game, Minnesota starts to crack, a perfect kicker misses his first kick since 1997, and the superior Andersen nails a FG from the same exact spot in overtime to send the Falcons to their first Super Bowl.

Georgia: The Georgia-Florida game from 2007 and the Georgia-Auburn game from 2002 are a tie to me. In the game vs. Auburn, Georgia mounted a second half comeback, capped by a 4th-and-long 18-yard TD pass with about a minute left to put UGA up for good. I jumped so high that my head hit the ceiling when Michael Johnson caught the ball. That win put UGA in the SEC Championship, and they smoked Arkansas. In the Florida game, most remember it as the ame where the entire Georgia bench came out to celebrate the first touchdown. Most people forget that the game was a seesaw affair the entire game between two high-powered offenses. UGA sacked Tebow six times, and the offense kept the pressure on the entire time.

Braves: Hard to go against the 1991 World Series Game 7. Smoltz and Jack Morris pitched great (with Morris tossing 10 shutout innings) and the Twins getting the winning run in the 10th.

Thrashers: I think it was the year after the lockout, but the Thrashers were hosting the Red Wings in a scoring duel. Noted bum Patrik Stefan scored the winning goal with a few minutes left to help Atlanta win 7-6.

Hawks: Game 6 vs. Boston a few years back. Boston was the #1 seed, yet couldn't beat the losing-record Hawks in Atlanta in three tries. The loudest I've ever heard Philips Arena get.

Games not including my teams:

NFL: That Rams-Titans Super Bowl. That McNair escape-run-and-throw to set up the last play is probably the best play I've ever seen live.

College: I guess it was one of the earliest "Game of the Decade" contests I've seen, but the 1993 game between Florida State and Notre Dame was a great game.

MLB: I dunno...guess I'll stick with Game 7 of the 1991 World Series.

Hockey: Game 7 of the ECQ between Carolina and New Jersey, where the Hurricanes scored twice in the last 1:20 to beat the Devils 4-3.

Seriously, Kramera-Billy, it's considered bad form around here to write magazine article length posts. It's a courtesy thing to your fellow CCSLCers. Not to mention that no one ever reads them. In short you're wasting your time by writing them, our time by making us scroll past them, and page space too. It wouldn't be the worst idea for you to dial it back to no more than a paragraph or two.

[Rockstar Matt]

I'm going to be very brief with the best games I've ever seen.

NFL: Super Bowl XLII, Giants 17, Patriots 14.

NBA: 2000 Western Conference Finals, Lakers 89, Blazers 84, Game 7.

NHL: 2012 Western Conference Finals, Kings 4, Coyotes 3 OT, Game 5.

NCAAF: Boise State 43, Oklahoma 42, 2007 Fiesta Bowl. (Hands down the greatest football game I've ever seen.)

Soccer: it's a tie for me. 2009 Confed. Cup, USA 2, Spain 0 and 2010 World Cup, USA 1, Algeria 0.

It just seems like, for all the stuff to get irritated with, "post length" is a pretty damn stupid one for that to happen. I didn't exactly go into that post last night thinking it was going to be an expose', it just kinda happened. I was trying to capture the essence of what happened. Nothing more, nothing less.

The thorough intent is to inform and educate. Skipping them entirely is also a valid choice. I don't see why it should matter if I'm "wasting time" or not. Spending time on a message board is inherently time wasting, and when I typed that up last night, all my daily tasks were completed and I was watching baseball games, something which, I should point out, is also an inherent waste of time (and money).

All I'm really getting at is that I type enough foolish that I find it pretty comical that this is what pushes some peoples buttons.

(and look at that - one poster's fussiness, which he felt compelled to drag out into the public, is now a completely off-topic sub-conversation. With that in mind, I'm cutting my end of this conversation off.)

It's just simple etiquette. That's all. Hell, I don't care if you post your version of War and Peace. I was just trying to explain why people call you out for your economy sized posts.

I quickly knew that this was one of those games that just about any neutral fan would have considered great. Because it certainly was very exciting. However, I was not a neutral fan.

The Ohio State-Miami and Boise State-Oklahoma Fiesta Bowls are the best football games I've ever watched.

Hockey has too many good ones for me to name.

In my junior year of high school my baseball team was down 10-1 in the last inning. If we had given up one more run the game would've ended due to the Ohio High School mercy rule. We won the game with 10 runs in the bottom of the inning. I've never seen anything like it. Every hit fell in, their pitchers stopped being able to throw strikes. I think four straight runs scored on walks. There was a balk in there somewhere. My only contribution was scoring from first as a pinch runner. We won on a bloop hit in front of the centerfielder and their third baseman just sat on the base and watched our celebration at home plate. It was most astounding because we were such a mediocre team that year.

This is the second most tragic loss in sports history. The worst is the 2002 NBA WCF, Gaqme 7, a game the Kings would win 99 out of 100 times. That Kings team was the best to not win a title, and that Lakers team was the worst to win a title.

You serious? A team with two of the greatest players ever (Kobe and Shaq) was the worst team to win a title? 2011 Mavericks were far worse, 1975 Warriors, 1979 Sonics as well.

And that Kings team was not the best to not win. 2011 Heat, the 1997 and 1998 Jazz teams were better. 1989, 1984, 1986 Lakers were better. And many more.

Canada vs USA New Years eve game in 2009 in Ottawa. No doubt.

I was at that game and it was amazing, but the semi-final game against Russia was even better.

The '79 Sonics were better than you think, Bieber. They had Dennis Johnson, "Downtown" Freddie Brown, Jack Sikma, Gus Williams, Lonnie Shelton, and some pretty decent bench players. Granted, they weren't the '02 or '85 Lakers, but they weren't one of the worst teams to win a title either.

The '75 Warriors? No argument there.

Can I nominate this for post of the day simply based on the change he made to Matt's name?

Oh come on now, even I gotta give it up for that one. Well played.
