Where the hell was ND? When I think college football, I think Notre Dame, Alabama, Michigan.

The Marshall offensive line carrying Byron Leftwich down the field during the two-minute drill has always been a favorite of mine. Not a huge hockey fan, but surprised no Bobby Orr goal. No Boone HR and no Dave Roberts steal surprised me - two most defining moments of baseball's modern pinnacle. No MJ shot over Byron Russell. Also thought I would see Donovan's goal from last World Cup in there when I saw a bunch of other soccer stuff, although I think the soccer stuff was more "crazy plays" than "defining moments." All in all it was an awesome video.

I won't lie, the image of Drew Brees and his son gets me. The guy just won the Superbowl, and he's standing up there trying to catch confetti with his kid. Warm fuzzies.

Tyree catch, Swann catch, '04 ALCS, Freese's HR, Messier & Co.'s '94 run are other omissions for me. Never going to satisfy everyone though.

Agreed, one of my favorite moments in sports of the last decade. Also up there is the Frees home run, which I was really expecting to make it into a video like this. Oh well, can't please everyone.

First of all, awesome video. But yeah, we all will have memories we wish were included. For me it would be a ND moment or 5 (obviously), and some L.A. centered moments, especially Magic's baby sky-hook, and Gretzky breaking any of the special records he broke.

Things could have been omitted though. For me, #1 would be Barry Bonds. And then there were about 7-8 Ali moments, and 6-7 Jordan moments, and 3 Vince Carter dunks (I HATE Vince Carter). You could have taken a few of those out and added some more iconic moments.

But like you said, you can't please everyone.

similar moment that i remember was when Padraig Harrington won his first British Open weeks after his father passed away and he was presented with the Claret Jug and his young son Paddy runs onto the green to ask him could he put ladybugs in the Jug :)

Amazing video over all.

I would like it even more if they cut out the last 2 mins or so except the very last 30 secs if that makes sense. Besides the very end with the celebrations it was mostly highlight reel soccer & NBA highlights.

Soccer: only a couple real meaningful plays in the whole video, most were just cool. I liked the Maradona/Messi copy goal highlights, could have shown the hand of god copy too, I'm only a recent soccer fan so the only real meaningful goals I can think of are Donovan's goal & iniesta's goal in WC2010

Christiano Ronaldo time wasting by the corner flag in the 94th minute of a regular league game is there! lol

Sam McGuffie's High school leap is in there, jeez that guy had hops

Would have liked to see Manning escape pressure, throw to Tyree (Helmet Catch) from the Super Bowl **(edit - was this there and I missed it?)

I watched this on my TV with some friends and we all were like, "I remember that!", "I was AT that game!" (Shaq bringing down the basket/support against the Nets)

So who is up for making the epic ND one?

Very cool video!

I'm like most others-- a few criticisms though. Too much Jordan, Ali, Vince Carter, and random soccer goals. No Walter Payton or Emmitt Smith (or Cowboys in general for that matter). I think Michael Johnson in Atlanta should've been there. Tyree's catch as well. Probably the Music City Miracle. Magic and Gretzky. Grant Hill and Bobby Hurley's alley oop versus Kansas. Rulon Gardner beating the Russian. Just some stuff off the top of my head. Definitely worth the 6+ minutes of time to watch though.
