NOT: Favourite Sporting Moments of the decade

Super Bowl LII, Eagles over Patriots, a culturally significant event on par with the birth of Jesus, the formation of the Beatles, and Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.

'nova's thrilling NCAA Championship win over UNC

to a lesser extent they're win over Michigan for another title

Cavs winning game 7 (specifically LeBron's block and Kyrie's shot)
Case Keenum hitting Stefon Diggs for the game winning TD in the NFC divisional round in 2017 
Indians winning their 23rd game in a row in 2017
Kris Jenkins hitting the three to win the NCAA Championship game in 2016 
The Daytona 500 in 2016 with Denny Hamlin winning the race by the skin of his teeth


Honorable mention would be Rajai Davis' game 7 homer. Would be #1 if the Indians won the game.

Jürgen going "BOOM!"

Probably anything from the last 10 minutes of the 2010 AFL Grand Final. Pies captain Nick Maxwell sprinting 30m to stop a dribbling goal on the line. Goddard hanging on Maxwell's shoulders to take a spectacular mark and then kicking the goal to give St Kilda the lead, then Maxwell taking a brilliant mark of his own to kill a St Kilda attack a couple of minutes later. Heath Shaw dropping a mark in the goal square for Collingwood only for our 6'8 forward Travis Cloke to pick it up off his bootlaces and put us back in front. Then St Kilda forward Stephen Milne seemingly running onto a loose ball into an open goal only for the ball to bounce at a ridiculous angle and dribble through for a game tying point prompting Bruce McAvaney to ask us "What are you doing next week?" And then the frenzied final couple of minutes when pretty much every player on the ground seemed to be in a 20 metre radius of the ball. And then finally Bruce's call "It's a draw! It's Unbelievable!" Then hearing 100'000 people groan simultaneously as the siren went (more a Holy Shit! Groan than a disappointed one) and the looks on the faces of the 44 players as they realised that, after all that, they'd be coming back to do it all again in 7 days time.

That was Super Bowl 42 played 2/3/08. Super Bowl 46 was the Mario Manningham circus catch on the sideline. 

I don't really have a favorite moment for the 2010's. If I were to pick one would be to have been in attendance when my Cardinals won their first division title since 2009 during the 2015 season. They ended up going 13-3 for the first time ever, won an exciting divisional game against GB but got stomped in an error filled game at Carolina. They've gone steadily downhill ever since. But 2 of my favorite plays from that season. First was from the aforementioned game in which they beat the Eagles to win the division. David Johnson rooked off one of the best runs I've ever seen:




The second is from the divisional game against Green Bay. Packers fought back to force overtime and after a botched coin toss, Cards won the toss and elected to receive. From their own 20, Palmer looked to be sacked but he escaped to find a wide open Larry Fitzgerald who ran 75 yards to the Packer 5 yard line and scored 2 plays later. 

Finally being able to see the Boston Bruins win the Stanley Cup.

Seeing the Red Sox win two more World Series. There was a time where I'd never thought I'd see them win one, and now they have won four.

Seeing the San Francisco Giants finally win not just one World Series, but 3 of them.

And a whole decade without either the Yankees or the Lakers winning a title, that might be the best part of all of it.

Isn't 2010 part of the 2010s? 

Yeah, so?

The Lakers didn't "win" the 2010 NBA championship.
