So /sp/...Can we call 2008 one of the best years EVER in sports?

1. Epic 18-1 fail in a very exciting Super Bowl.
2. Very close CL Final goes to penalty kicks.
3. 18 Hole Playoff between Tiger and Rocco.
4. Federer vs. Nadal at Wimbeldon
5. 15 Inning All Star Game
6. Amazing stories in baseball: Surge of the Rays, Josh Hamilton's first half/Home Run Derby, etc.
7. Exciting NBA finals between longtime rivals in the Celtics and Lakers
8. Chalmers' shot to bring the NCAA Championship into overtime
9. Lulz-worthy drama over Brett Farve

And this is with before other events like the Olympics and the World Series happen...what do you guys think?

how can you forget England not getting invited to anything/Spain winning the Eurocup?

You forgot ass goal (Stanley Cup goes back to Hockeytown)

How are penalty kicks exciting? They're just boring. Just play multiple overtimes like normal people, whiners.

Spain's Eurocup win was great, and should have merited a mention...My mistake. The Stanley Cup Finals wasn't mentioned because 100% of hockey fans outside of Pittsburgh knew the outcome before it started. As for>>219118I thought in this case they were very exciting, especially with Fagnaldo's miss. If they had overtimes in soccer, you'd have games going for days like in cricket.

>>7. Exciting NBA finals between longtime rivals in the Celtics and Lakers.

It was barely exciting, but 18-1 more than makes up for all the flaws that list has.

Lol, Chelseafag. Penalties are the greatest thing ever.

Red Wings won Stanley Cup... thats enough to void out all of those except 18-1. Which alone makes a good sports year but not best ever.

I know nobody cares about tennis, but this should be 2008's most epic sports moment

Tiger wins everything/nobody cares about golf
> 18-1
Awesome until it was mentioned 9000+ times everyday. Not a patsfag btw. Don't get me wrong though, it still is epic fail.

> Wimbledon
Federer (winner of the last 5, world number 1) vs Nadal (world number 2) in a 4+ hour epic match that went down to the wire. Nadal ends Federer's win streak, and first player in 40+ years to win wimbledon and french open in the same year. This shit doesn't happen in decades.

A damn good year, no doubt. I don't even follow American sports but just from glancing at threads on here it seems like it's been lulzy.

FUCK how could I forget USA winning FIFA? Also, I'm not writing this with a bias for any sport. I'm going by the great events in all sports this year. Even if you don't like baseball, you should recognize that this All Star Game will go down as one of the best in history.

I guess you can add the BCS National Championship, just because it's always fun to see Ohio State get its ass kicked and the Big 10 exposed as a shit conference. However, it only gave fuel to the faggot SEC fans...Tough call. The VT/Kansas game was the only competitive BCS bowl, and it probably deserves a mention.

Anyone who disagrees with OP is butt hurt.

Penguins losing in the cup finals.
USA winning FIFA.
Turkey Euro cup shenanigans.
Lack of roids in baseball
CITO FUCKING GASTON!
Forrest beating Rampage
Garnett finally winning a championship.

Hell even the fake sports are fucking win this year(CM Punk being champion).

Future looks to be kick ass. China will definitely be pulling off all the stunts to be first in the Olympics, probably roiding or genetically engineering athletes(itsaconspiracy.jpg). So there will be a shit load of records being broken at the Olympics. And hell maybe a team like the cubs will win the World Series?

This year is the best ever alone just based on what happened so far.

The Wimbledon match is arguably the greatest tennis game ever. 18-1 is the other top story of the year.

Tour de France has some good stories too.
