I frickin' couldn't believe that Romo bobble. I was rooting for Seattle (because of the previous Super Bowl BS) in that game and had pretty much figured it was going into overtime and was standing / pausing to get another beer or coke from the fridge...and bam...next thing you know I'm jumping up and down in disbelief.
The two things that made it even sweeter were 1) watching the game at a friend's house who is a HUGE Dallas fan and 2) the fact that Jordan Babineaux goes on to make a shoestring tackle on Romo inches short of a first down, and about a yard shy of a touchdown.

The only sport I REALLY care about is basketball. The only team I REALLY love is the Jazz. My moment is obvious:

Stockton sinking a buzzer-beating three-pointer over Houston's Charles Barkley in Game 6 of the 1997 Western Conference Finals, giving the Jazz their first NBA Finals berth.

Here's one for now...

1. (American football) Buffalo Bills-Houston Oilers Wild Card playoff game, 1993
Sadly the game was not on TV so my dad and I went to a local restaurant to watch. Still more sadly my team was losing at halftime by 25 points, so we went home, assuming our season was over. By the time we got home, the Bills had started scoring and we listened to the rest on the radio, and they had, with their backup quarterback (always my favorite actually) come back to win the game, 41-38. It's still the biggest comeback in NFL history.
... unfortunately the season ended a little while later as the Bills lost in the Super Bowl... again. But that was a pretty amazing game.

Almost forgot about this one, I was too young to remember it happening at the time but saw clips later:

Actually they were down 35 at halftime. It was 35-0 Oilers and then the Bills won it 41-38. I remember that game, it was awesome. And the backup was Frank Reich. Even after he lead the Bills to that all time great comeback he didn't accomplish anything else in his career. It's too bad he had to be on the Bills at the same time as Jim Kelly.
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style. :D

They were down by as much as 32, and that was just after halftime... unless this wiki article is wrong. I have a DVD about the game downstairs but I'm not going to watch it now :)
Frank was always my favorite, I often thought they should have let him play more. He was fantastic in backup, though.
