I just watched an ESPN Classic episode on Emmitt getting the rushing title and when he and Moose embraced on the sidelines right after he did it and Emmitt let the waterworks go, I'll admit I misted up a bit



So come on, man up...

Rulon Gardner after finishing his last career wrestling match at Athens in 2004...where he left his shoes in the ring.

it wasnt a sports moment but when magic johnson announced that he had HIV i took it kind of hard. i was only 11 or 12 but i was sad for about a month

::vomits in disgust::

And after that I watched the Cowboys beat the Bills in the Super Bowl... twice!

Not really a sports moment...but it involved a sports icon....When Walter Payton held the press conference and said he had cancer. I felt so bad for him, and wheneve i see it today, i still tear up

The first and only time I have ever had "tears of joy" was when the Colts beat the Bucs on Monday Night Football 2 seasons ago. Just as I was ready to go to bed Manning threw a touchdown pass to Harrison and then more shit started to happen. My emotions went up and down so much in such a short period of time I almost couldnt take it. After the "leaping" call was made it was like I was reborn. The Bucs where the best team in the NFL at the time and it was Dungys first game back at Tampa and then everything that went down with Mikes two fieldgoals at the end was nuts. I never really started to cry, it was more of a pannic/tear-up/natural high kind of thing.

For me it was Game 7 of the 2001 Stanley Cup finals. I could not contain myself during the last few minutes of the game. Then when Joe Sakic handed the cup over to Ray Bourque I completely lost it. I still tear up to this day when I watch that game.

Whenever I watch my 1988 Dodgers video or the 2000 rams dvd and I see Gibbys homer, Rick Demsey leap into Orel Hershisers arms, or Kurt Warner raise the lombardy

that Walter Payton press conference was so hard to watch. when he hugged his son and they started crying. i did too.

i hate the Cowboys but yea that Emmitt with Moose moment was touching.

Jordan giving his speech at the 2003 all star game "...now i can be at peace with the game of basketball"

Yeah, I teared up over those too

Seriously, I still get chills when I watch the Houston comeback game. It's pretty inspirational to think that they came back, down 35-3, without their starting QB, the starting RB, and their best LB.

rudy tomjanovich's " Dont Ever Underestimate A Heart Of a Champion" speech after the rockets won the title

and after the lakers got passed the kings in the conference finals in 2002 in seven games. thats the most i have ever been stressed watching sports

Marv Levy was a great coach!

He was pretty smart too...it was pretty funny to listen to his radio show and lunatic fans would be screaming into their phones about how football is war...and then Marv would calmy quote people he new that were on the beaches at Normandy to illustrate that football is NOT war. The angry callers really had no comeback.

tears of joy when the braves finnaly won the WS

tears of sadness the first 2 WS's they lost(after that i kinda got used to it)

I definitely shed a tear or tons that day. First when I heard about it on the radio, then when I saw the press conference. Very touching moment.

Also, when Stevie Y handed the cup off to Konstantinov. I lost it.

i was on my way home from work, had to pull over and i just sat there for like 15 minutes. i had no clue, no radio at work, and bam, it hit me

I remember that. That definately got me all choked up.

I remember that one too.

I think that if the Braves somehow made it past the first round, I would cry tears of joy.

This will only even be understood by a vast minority of RM members, but when Ryan Miller tied and then broke the record for most shut-outs by a college goalie....amazing moment.
