Easily the Giants laying an egg in Super Bowl 35 against the Ravens. The way Ny ran over Minnesota in the NFC championship game and had been on a hot streak into the playoffs, to say the Giants ran into a brick wall would be an understatement. Honorable mention goes to the 2002 NFC Wild card game between the Giants and 49ers when the Giants coughed up a 38-14 lead and after Kerry Collins got the Giants into field goal range with 6 seconds left on the clock to attempt a 41 yarder. The place kicker fucked up the snap and it was a big cluster fuck finish as the Giants lost on an illegal man downfield. The biggest choke job by the Giants I recall in the playoffs.
Just to add insult to injury, from Wiki:
"The Giants were also called for having an illegal man downfield on the play, and the game ended. The following day, it was revealed that the penalized player (guard Rich Seubert) had in fact checked in as an eligible receiver before the field goal attempt, although a different Giant lineman (guard Tam Hopkins) actually was illegally downfield. NFL Vice President of Officiating Mike Pereira admitted pass interference also should have been called on 49ers defensive end Chike Okeafor for pulling down Seubert. Had the two right calls been made, the down would have been replayed at the previous spot, the San Francisco 23."
Third worst Giants moment was the 2005 NFC playoffs when the Giants got embarrassed at home by the Panthers 23-0.

2011 NRL finals. Wests Tigers dominate a game for 70 minutes but can't skip away to a match winning lead against the NZ Warriors, get beaten by a late try 22-20. I was watching it just before starting work. I broke the chair I was sitting in, then totally destroyed a milk crate - I was so angry. My colleague (technically I was his boss) was like "F---dude, it's just a game." I think the look I gave him scared him a little bit. He was very quiet the rest of the night. What makes it worse ? Wests Tigers haven't played a finals game since.......

difficult to choose between:
- Bayern Munich losing to Manchester United in the '99 Champions League Finals with two goals in stoppage time after dominating them over 90 mins (came very close to breaking my tv) - Bayern Munich losing to Chelsea in the 2012 Champions League Finals, which happened to take place in Munich and I actually attended

I love that first game. First CL/Euro Cup final I ever saw. Probably the first one shown live in Australia. I'm a big Man U fan though.

One man's joy is another man's sorrow ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Just glad that we came back from those two losses to win the CL in 2001 and 2013. I actually watched the entire game from '99 a few years ago. Crazy how we ended up losing that one, given the chances we had to go up 2:0 (e.g. through Scholl and Jancker (what a guy!)).

There have been many, but this one was the worst. After 57 years I still think about it and cringe.

Wests Tigers haven't played a finals game since....... Even worse, the (I think) 1998 semifinal between Parramatta and Canterbury-Bankstown. At 69 minutes, Parramatta leads 18-2. At full time 20-20. After extra time 20-32. An embarrassing capitulation

Standing in the howling wind and bitingly cold rain of Storm Brian for the full 90 the other week, watching my team sink from 3-0 up to a 3-4 loss. Walking back home a thoroughly frozen soaking ball of misery.
Laugh about it now though... non-league footy, eh.

Third worst Giants moment was the 2005 NFC playoffs when the Giants got embarrassed at home by the Panthers 23-0. Back when I was a Giants/NFL fan, these all stung, but I'd say the game against the 49ers was worse. Laying an egg is one thing. It sucks, yeah, especially in those moments, but it happens. But that game in SF, they had that game won and it just all fell apart. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. If I recall, while the Giants were up big, Jeremy Shockey started jawing with the fans and even was caught on camera throwing cups of water and ice on them. Jackass. The long snapper is a name that will forever be burned into the minds of Giants fans - Trey Junkin, a guy they signed that week for just that purpose to replace the injured long snapper.

The 2006 NLCS, Game 7. The Mets had 97 wins that year and cruised to the division title. After mowing through the Dodgers in the NLDS, the ran into the Cardinals and fucking So Taguchi. Ugh, I HATE that guy.
But in Game 7, Endy Chavez absolutely robbed Scott Rolen of a 2 run bomb and at that point, all of us in the stands knew, as an absolute certainty above all others, that the Mets were destined to win that game. Shea Stadium rocked after that play like nothing I've ever felt before. We always heard people talk about the upper deck swaying when the crowd went nuts and that was the most I ever felt it do that. Incredible moment. Easily the single greatest play I've ever seen in person (followed by the infamous Dale Hunter - Pierre Turgeon incident which is "great" for other reasons).
Then, of course, the Cards win the game and go on to smoke the Tigers in the WS. The Tigers played like total shit in that series, making a slew of infield errors and just playing sloppy ball. Tough to say how things would have shaked out if the Mets played them but if the Tigers laid the same type of egg, then it's hard to imagine the Mets not winning their 3rd WS that year. Alas.

Maybe the 1996 Stanley Cup. First and only time the Florida Panthers have appeared, and they completely tanked (against the Colorado Avalanche) once they got there. They only scored one goal in each of the first two games, with the second game being an 8-1 blowout, and the last game of the sweep was a shutout. The only game of the series that was really competitive was game 3, but the Panthers still lost 3-2. So they had four goals total in their one Stanley Cup appearance.
The only thing that mitigated it is that the Panthers were such a new team. It was only their third season. On the other hand, it was the Avalanche's first season after a move from Quebec City. But the bad part is that the pain of that loss has only increased with time, as there have been long droughts with no playoff appearances since then, with the team never advancing past the conference quarterfinals in the handful of playoff appearances over the last 21 years.

Bob Nystrom - he was fucking offsides.
Joe Carter's game 6 walk off home run. Good guy, bad timing.
Donovan McNabb puking his gutless guts out on the field with the Super Bowl on the line.
Non-game related: the deaths of Pelle Lindbergh and Jerome Brown.

Bucky Dent.
I have lots, SB XXV (and the others), Bill Buckner, refs stealing the Stanley Cup from Buffalo in 1999, but the 1978 season was the worst. To watch the Red Sox choke away a 14.5 game lead, come back from 3 down to tie on the last day and then lose it all to Bucky Fucking Dent, a guy who couldn't hit his way out of a wet paper sack.
And I was 14. I've learned to deal with shit better.
