Best Year In Sports

[JEFF4i]

For my short life span, I have to say this is probably the best sports year I've ever seen.

Why? To put it concisely..

A) Superbowl. Nothing against the Patriots, but the Giants upset who were picked to be out in round one of the playoffs, and then toppling a giant like they did, in such fashion, was incredible.

B) World Series. Similar to the Giants, no one thought the Rays could even make it to the Series, and funny enough, toppling someone like the Sox. They did, and set a huge standard for themself. Not to take away from the Phillies though, finally bringing a title back in a long drought of Philly itself, playing a great 5 games in the Series itself.

C) The olympics. This I'll make short. Phelps. Basketball regaining. Beach volleyball. Fencing. Many, many, many other competitions.

D) Basketball this year has been pretty sweet, from the tidbits I've seen. Celtics win was huge, fa sho.

E) Stanley Cup. I hate to see my glorious Penguins fall. But it was a great 6 games! Better than some years, but not the best. Still a credit to my general idea here.

Only thing I can't, and won't, comment on is soccer. Granted the world's game, but this is really focusing on the States anyway.

Good call. There is no way in hell that Manchester United doing the double can be considered a good year. Although with both they did allow Chelsea just close enough to give them false hope. Nice touch Mancs!
