Final Day 1986 US Masters, Jack Nicklaus wins his 18th and final Major as the Great White Shark Collapses. \n1986 was also the year Willie Shoemaker won the Derby on 20-1 longshot Ferdinand. But Nicklaus triumph was special.\n\nI think George Foreman stopping Michael Moorer was great as did Pete Sampras defeating Agassi to win his Final US Open, but the joy I had in seeing Nicklaus win was something special.\n\nAnd I don't even play golf.

i'd say baseball is the greatest for a few reasons.  firstly, its the sport i played most and was best at as a kid, so that helped fuel my passion for the game.\n\nwithout my personal bias however, baseball is great because it is one of the few games not played with a clock.  there is no time limit, no gun, no buzzer, no horn that will sound to end the game......as long as you dont make outs, you are always in the game and have a chance to win.  like yogi berra said, "it aint over til its over".\n\nand although some people find the pace of a baseball too slow or too boring in general.....with just a little effort and understanding of the game, even at its slowest pace, the game(the mind games) can be fascinating.  those mind games include the battel between a pitcher and a baserunner...stepping off the mound and/or throwing to first to forace a runner back and hopefully make him stay closer to the bag for fear of being picked off.  the mind games between the pitcher and batter, each trying to outguess the other as to what pitch and location that pitch will come.\n\nalso inlcuded is the ongoing "chess match" between the opposing managers.......making the right pitching substitutions, the right pinch hitter moves etc etc.\n\ni love football and hockey and the faster pace those games offer, but baseball is just so much more special.

I think it would have to be Italy vs. Brazil in 1990. The penalty shootout was so intense it is still talked about till this very day. No other World Cup game has been discussed and mentioned as much as this.

Football.  The most interesting in my opinion.

The World Cup is and will always be the biggest sporting event in the world. Every country in the world competes and dreams of being crowned the champions of the greatest sport in the history of sport. The best players in the world square off agaisnt team mates and friends, so it is not solely about the competition. It is about the entire world coming together to watch and participate in a common like. It is about passion and emotion even for those thousands of miles away. It is about nationalism, when a country becomes one in support for their team. To me, the world cup isnt even about the football (even though thats an amazing part of it) but its about the people who love the sport so much that the entire world unites together for a whole month and can forget about all their problems and instead focus on the  excitement and pure skill that is football.

My favorite sport would have to be soccer and favorite player to watch in Ronaldinho of Brazil National Soccer Team.  When his club team Barcelona was taken on Milan.  He beat three players like they were high school players.

I would say Baseball.\n\nThe first sports telecast took place on May 17, 1939.  The event was a college baseball game between Columbia and Princeton at BAKER FIELD, in UPPER MANHATTAN, New York.  Princeton won in the 10th inning, 2-1.  The event was televised over W2XBS, the experimental station that later became WNBC-TV.

I like winter sports so i enjoy watching it very much. Turino is well prepared for the games, they worked very hard to make it a breath taking event. The ceremony at the beginning was a little too long but very impressing.

The best sport in the country.

The US - Russia semi final game in the 1980 olympics had to be the greatest game from a US perspective.\n\nHowever a personal Favorite of mine (and a very close second) was game 7 of the 1994 Stanley cup eastern conference semi-finals between the NY Rangers and the NJ Devils.\n\nHowie Rose's call of the Game winning goal in the 2nd OT still gives me goosebumps \n\n"Mateau, Mateau, Mateau. Stephane Matteau and the Rangers have one more hill to climb baby, but its Mt. Vancouver. The Rangers are headed to the finals"

I love the finesse, it's definitely the highest skilled of all the sports, you don't just bully the ball down the field, you dance with the ball.  All your body parts (Except your hands) are in on the action.  It takes stamina, strategy, teamwork, and a bit of Art!  The World Cup brings all the best together for this, what is more awesome than that?

I like the to watch the Superbowl. But there is no question the biggest event in the world is the World Cup. You have nations declaring a national holiday when that country's team plays. There are over 5 Billion people watching the World Cup. \n\nYou can combine the NFL, NBA, World Series and you still will not get half of the billions of people following the World Cup.

ok, I've seen some rugby games and let me tell you, i was scared for all of them, those men BEAT the crap out of each other..i saw grown man breakin legs intentionally, I saw things I have never seen in a sport. They are competetive, strong, and fast. and its not all about the money and glamour of football..they actually love the game. so my answer is rugby. Ever see them butthead each other?..bloodiest sport ever.

there can be no event like the world cup, it brings together sport fans and non-sport fans alike. It makes you swell with national pride. It is already one of the most watched sports anyway.\n\nunless world cup flea jumping?
