The Natural finale already has my vote, just wanted to post this for fun. This is a great scene on multiple levels, many of them ironic. There's the inevitable continuity/editing issues that are sure to arise when filming a prolonged choreographed football scene like this (such as the center clearly blocking #55 multiple times) as well as the dramatic pause of about ten seconds before the QB delivers the ball. Then there's the consideration that #55 is almost certainly killed by the center with that block. I mean not only does it rip the facemask off his helmet, look at the amount of blood (or...or is that bile?) that comes out of his mouth. There's some serious hemorrhaging of something-- or maybe everything going on there.
But on a more serious note, even in a goofball comedy such as this, I like the karma, the life symmetry , fate, whatever you want to call it-- where the guy open in the endzone is the jersey he threw to for 15 years thinking the game passed him by. The idea that there are these little details in life that you think are inconsequential that end up meaning everything in the end. I'm waxing poetic about a dopey sports comedy from almost 30 years ago that nobody remembers seeing, but that's just how I roll.
