'98 Vikings. NFC Championship game. Gary Andersen. No female could ever come close to that moment of heartbreak in my life.

 

[high class scum bag]

This play + the shaq non call on steve smith still hurts..

Dude, we had FIVE starting first bllad HOFers (counting Phill

) and couldn't get the chemistry together

. That hurt so much more than Kobe'sdemolition at the hands of the 3 party.

i was too young to remember the roger craig fumble.

i was going to post game 6 in 2003 against the spurs but honestly i really wasn't even mad about that series, the spurs were the better team that year,plus it was inevitable that someone was eventually going to knock the lakers off after 3 peating and im just glad it wasn't loud mouthed sacramento ordallas.

 

[badboyf0life420]

probably when we lost 3-1 lead vs the suns. that team could have made it to the finals.. that was the year Kobe dominated the Mavs.

 

[eentegra]

cubs - game 6 NLCS? the bartman game. arghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2005 - IL loss to NC.... man what a run that was...

all i can think of right now.

 

[rawex5]

2002 World Series. Nightmares to this day.

 

[minnetrapolis]

first and only missed field goal of the season

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

OAKLAND ATHLETICS:

The 2000 ALDS, losing to the Yankees in five great games.

Jeter's brilliant back handed flip to stop Jeremy Giambi from reaching home safely in Game Three of the 2001 ALDS.

The 2002 ALDS against the Twins, who only now I've started to treat as just another MLB team (instead of a monster that should cease to exist).

The 2003 ALDS, in which Derek (piece of ****) Lowe strikes out Terrence Long looking, then proceeds to face the Oakland clubhouse and point to his crotch(I'll never forget this; the biggest reason I'll always hate the Red Sox and the only time I've ever cheered for the Yankees in the ALCS thatyear.) Thank God for Aaron Boone

Being swept out of the ALCS in 2006 by the Tigers, only to see the Tigers embarrass the AL and lose in five games to the Cardinals (I still contend that theA's would have won that year, but they should have handled their business with the Tigers. They lost rightfully, and the Tigers deserved the World Series).

LOS ANGELES LAKERS:

The 2002-2003 playoffs, losing to San Antonio in the second round and officially ending our dynasty.

The 2003-2004 NBA Finals, being embarrassed by the Pistons in five games and the ensuing off-season, in which the team was broken up and my favorite playerfrom that dynasty was traded (you can guess who

)

Missing the playoffs for only the fifth time in franchise history in 2004-2005 with an awful 34-48 (which did eventually lead to us getting Bynum, so maybe itwasn't so bad).

Losing to the Suns in back to back playoff years, especially the 2005-2006 playoffs (

)

Losing to the Celtics in the 2007-2008 Finals (another Boston team that can burn in Hell).

OAKLAND RAIDERS:

Losing to the Ravens in the 2000 AFC Championship and seeing Tony Siragusa's fat #$! sit on Rich Gannon, which is pretty funny now that I think about it

The 'Tuck Rule' game in the 2001 Divisional Playoff with the Patriots. Not much to be said there

Getting our #+$!% handed to us in the 2002 Super Bowl by the Bucs.

Every season and move by the front office since that season (excluding drafting Nnamdi)
