Re: Sports Moments You Will Tell Your Kids

I would have to say Tiger also. As someone said, he is so far above the field. Same with Jordan.

I guess what I was really looking for was stuff that, when you tell your teenage/young adult kids, they say "Wow! was it really as good as everybody says". The stuff the enters the cultural mythos as opposed to just the "Skins Fan" mythos. But, hey, it's all good.

Word. Well there are a couple other ones I think that get a bit overlooked. If my son/daughter liked boxing I would have to tell him/her about how dominant Mike Tyson was in his prime and the same for NASCAR and Jimmie Johnson right now.

And of course I'd have to tell them about Ovechkin and Ovie v. Crosby

Now that is one that stands out to me. The ear biting incident. Holyfield v. Tyson. I think that will forever go down as one of the strangest matches in boxing history.

I was lucky enough to be at game 2 vs the Pens last year and that is an experience I'll be talking about for a long time.

I remember getting together at my buddies house and we all would throw in $10 and then pick numbers 1-12 for which round Mike would knock out the other guy. It sucked if you got anything over like the third round but I did win once in like the 6th round.
