2001 World Series. Only thing that was going well for me and my dad at the time was the Yankees to be perfectly honest with you all. The Yanks kept fighting back throughout that entire series and When Rivera came in for game 7 me and my old man thought it was all over. Then it all came crashing down.

I would trade every single Championship they ever won in the history of the franchise for the 2001 Title.

Probably one of the following)
Bears lose NFC Title game to GB
Bears lose Super Bowl XLI
Beavers lose Civil War for the Rose Bowl (x2)
4th quarter of 2000 WCF game 7

Those all sucked.

Both of those were fantastic, though.

Don't know what you're talking about.

Re: What is your WORST moment as a sports fan?

Well seeing as I'm a Redskins/Nationals/Vandy fan, the end to every season of my life has sucked.

But the worst were:

- Vandy basketball losing to Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament 2 years ago when they had the potential to go deep into the tournament.

- When the Redskins blew the playoff game against Seattle back in '07-08 season.

- The absolute worst was when the news that Sean Taylor had died on November 27, 2007. He was my favorite football player. Still tear up sometimes watching youtube videos of him from time to time.

Liverpool losing the 1988-89 title on goals scored to Arsenal on the last day. Damn you Michael Thomas! I was 11 years old at the time and it still haunts me to this day.

Here is the story from wikipedia:

The highlight of Thomas's Arsenal career came in the 1988-89 title decider, on 26 May 1989. The First Division match between Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield had been postponed due to the Hillsborough Disaster, and as a result was moved to the very end of the season, after the FA Cup final. Liverpool had won the FA Cup, and thus had a chance of completing a historic second Double. Arsenal had been top of the First Division table for most of the season, but Liverpool had overtaken them a few games before the end. Coming into the match, Arsenal were on 73 points with 71 goals for and 36 against (a goal difference of +35), while Liverpool were 3 points ahead on 76 points with 65 goals for and 26 against (a difference of +39). That meant that Arsenal needed to win by at least two goals to take the title (with points and goal difference equal, the team who had scored the most goals would be awarded the title). Liverpool had not lost by two goals at Anfield for nearly four years. After a goalless first half, Alan Smith scored soon after the restart, heading in a free kick from Nigel Winterburn. But as full time approached it looked as if Arsenal were not going to score the second goal they needed. However, in injury time, in Arsenal's last attack, Thomas surged forward from midfield, running onto a Smith flick-on, evaded a challenge by Steve Nicol, and chipped the advancing goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar to score Arsenal's second, and win the title, Arsenal's first in eighteen years. The match was later featured in detail in a film based on the Nick Hornby book Fever Pitch.

2006 BCS National Championship Game.

Got the Heisman Trophy winner quarterbacking the team that won the supposed 'Game of the Century' and dominated the season as wire-to-wire #1... and then they get shellacked 41-14.

Honestly, I've never watched it again. Not even the highlights.

Spoiler

And the best play from that game...

Man, I loved that team. Couldn't watch the tournament again until the Final Four, which was the first time since I was in 6th grade that I missed even a second of the tourney.
