#18 is underrated just because it's swimming.

To all of you guys, this is nothing special.

This is my favorite.

Embed worked in post preview but now it's gone wacky. I'll just give the link.

It should work?

BTW here's a great call:

Re: 32 Best Calls in Sportscasting History

I watch a little here and there when i'm absolutely bored out of my mind. TFC has been a massive disappointment. There's talk that when Vancouver enters the league that they'll automatically be the best team in Canada which is shocking considering TFC has been in MLS for 4 years now.

Have you ever been to a TFC match? THey're a well supported team, I would suggest going if you haven't, it will change your perspective on things. Regardless, I still don't see how you can say the league sucks when you don't like the sport it represents, but I've argued the MLS' side enough on these boards.

Hey dude chill out. We're talking about the wnba here... or CFL whatever the abbreviation is. Canadian Floor Ladies? Yes...CFL

Re: 32 Best Calls in Sportscasting History

All homerism aside, the fact that Skip's call of the 1992 NLCS finish isn't on here is a travesty.

Re: 32 Best Calls in Sportscasting History

Shocked that Keith Jackson's "Hello Heisman!" call of Desmond Howard isn't even on the list.

#18 is underrated just because it's swimming.

I disagree... as a moment I thought it was absolutely amazing. Forget one of the best Olympic moments ever, it is one of the best sports moments ever... but as a call, eh, I just didn't think it was that good. I can't put my finger on it, he certainly had the emotion, it just didn't do it for me.

on another note, the Matteau goal at #16 is my all time favorite call. Rose captures the emotion of that moment perfectly. That was a half a centuries worth of anguish from Rangers fans coming out when that goal was scored. Very happy to see it made the list

another call I would have enjoyed seeing on that list is the Cards vs Vikings game in 2003 when the cards knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs on the final play... the call by the Vikings announcer is the definition of classic. The pain and disbelief in his voice is truly memorable... heck, I'm not a fan of either team and that play is ingrained in my memory

I was 6 years old when the rangers won that cup...everytime I hear that call I get goosebumps. Pure magic.

Why do you have to mock sports and sport leagues you don't like? You're entitled to your opinion, but at least express it in a constructive manner.
