Random sports clips

Post your random sports clips that you think are cool/interesting/historical/etc.

I was reminded today of the Glow Puck Era which, as a kid, I thought was cool. Now, as an adult, I'm actually somewhat interested in the technical side of things. I'd get annoying, but it had to have been somewhat challenging to accomplish.

How often I have wondered how the NFL landscape would have changed if not for this stooooooooooooopid, unfair, idiotic, unnecessary, moronic, asinine rule.

Not only was the rule bad, but it wasn't even applied correctly IMO, and they looked at the replay. Brady had already pulled the ball back and had it in both hands before he fumbled. That still should have been a fumble even with the tuck rule.

Go to the 11:35 mark and watch that play. What, no tuck rule here?

Don't get me started. After the game I remember ex-football players and longtime football media were all wondering "what the heck was a tuck rule?". Nobody had ever heard of it it was so obscure. It was one of those long forgotten rules like some cities have that say you can't park your donkey w/in 10 ft of a church. I insist Tagliabue told the ref over the earphones "ain't no way in bleep am I going to hand Al Davis the SB trophy. Find a way to end this NOW!"

That is a possibility since up until that point I can't remember it being called at all. And just about everyone hated the Raiders.

But if I remember correctly that was the year the Patriots beat the greatest show on turf. I highly doubt those Raiders would have beaten them.

One of my all time favorites from the UNC/dook rivalry.
