Leicester winning the Prem
>sports
18-1 is
I think so, op. He's like Odysseus. At a certain point you could only feel bad for him, and now he's back.
the movie is gonna be great, hope it's made in ~50 years so we're alive to brag about seeing it in real life
Indeed. And also because he's American.
GOAT sports stories:
1. Woods comeback
2. College kids beating the Soviets for the hockey gold to win the US hockey gold.
3. 18-1.
4. Doc Ellis throwing a no-hitter while on acid.
Foreigners just don't how to generate drama. "Oh, he fell to the ground and kicked the ball past Mbengo to win the league on "aggregate." Whatever.
1. Brian Clough's Forest
2. Tiger Woods life story
3. 18-1
4. 88 Dodgers
5. Leicester
>it even has Ivanka getting BLACKED
greatest story ever told
it would be better if woods was likable
Damn I want Ivanka to trample me with those flippers
>Doc Ellis throwing a no-hitter on acid
Who fucking cares about that?
There have been plenty of World Cups, Euros!and CL finals more spectacular than any of the aforementioned events.

Imagine not only being this ignorant of the outside world, but actually PROUD to be so thick.
America in a nutshell
>I honestly think it's the greatest sports story in my life time (34)
Good lord the plebs ITT. The greatest sports story of all time is Boston Red sox recovering from 2003 Heartbreak and becoming first team ever to come back from being down 0-3 in a best of 7 series - and burying their eternal rival's greatest dynasty in the process.
The only one of those that Americans still care about is 18-1. But that's mostly from Brady induced butthurt lately.
it's good but not "greatest sports story of all time" great
it's just one tournament, and the easiest major at that
Besides the Miracle on Ice, yes. Maybe the Red Sox breaking the curse in 2004 but as a sox fan im biased.
ICE didn't catch you yet, Paco?
I still remember games 4-7 so vividly. The steal, the walk off, the walk off again, the bellhorn home run, then in game 7 the damon Home runs. And the bloody sock. As a young sox fan, the recovery from 2003 was incredible.
Yeah for me its 18-1, the Miracle on Ice, the 2004 red sox and now tiger. That's the mount Rushmore. You could add 28-3 I guess but the gravity of that one doesn't compare to 18-1 desu.
>it's just one tournament, and the easiest major at that
It's the tournament the pros seem to value the most, though, meaning it's the de facto golf "World title."
Giving the story extra points is of course Woods being seemingly done and that it happened in an individual sport. No teammates for Woods to rely on, no coaches, just him and his demons being exorcised on the course.
I'm not even a red sox fan. But it was a story 100 years in the making that could only be told once and the way it all happened... there just couldn't be any more drama. A hollywood studio would have laughed the script out of the office. it was more over the top than any movie could be and still be believable. Only miracle on ice is in the same stratosphere in terms of historical gravity. 18-1 doesn't even compare. Only Liverpool finding some miraculous way to redeem the gerrard 'slip' this year or the Cleveland browns finding some utterly incomprehensibly dramatic championship season to cleanse the 'mistake by the lake' demons could even remotely enter the conversation.
it's the greatest comeback story of all time, that's for sure. i can't think of anything that would come close
lemieux came back from his injuries but that wasn't as momentous, brady had a long drought of super bowls but the same sort of circumstances weren't there
just the fact that his image had been all but ruined in the public eye and he still made his way back to the top it incredible
My friends seem to have forgotten Bobby Fischer's "one man against an entire empire" climb to the 1972 world chess championship.
I know about all your sports, matey. Wanna talk some cricket? Some Steve Davis vs. Dennis Taylor in the snooker? Some Jocky Wilson or Eric Bristow?
Like it or not, America and Americans have driven world drama for the last 75 years. You closely follow our politics, our gun laws, healthcare laws, and other aspects of our culture, while we really don't pay attention to yours. Not because we're ignorant, but because it's not interesting. You care about us, because you're interested in the drama. When an American does something on the world stage, whether in politics or sports, it's just bigger, bolder, and has a larger-than-life quality that's hard to ignore.
The Miracle on Ice game was a semi final, not the gold medal game. Read a fucking book.
Dude called up peyton manning and asked for advice a couple years ago on coming back.
No one cares about American sports.
>the previous year's heartbreak
>0-3 comeback against the Yankees
>Schilling looking done then comes in with the bloody sock
>The steal again, Jeter almost got him cus Posada made a great throw,
>A-rod slapping the ball.
The way the tides turned was pure bliss.It was perfect. I still remember staying in the same spot on my bed once the sox won game 4 thinking it was good luck. Once damon made it 7-1 I started to move around and get comfy. Best damn week of my childhood almost.
>le cuckston fake bloody sock
Worst umped series ive ever seen
Problem is that he's way too young for a biopic. It's too bad, with hollywood pushing hard to have black people as the main characters in their movies, Tiger Woods' story would have been perfect for them and alt right cucks wouldn't have been able to cry about "muh force fed diversity in movies"
Soccer is not a real sport
He's not really too young if you cover the past ten years or so and use the Masters as the happy ending. You don't have to cover his entire life story.
Played by Jussie Smollett
It's is. (33)
As a sports fan, I've been incredibly blessed to witness some amazing things, and even in the moment, I realize that my sporting experience just peaked. Nothing will ever be better. It's a bittersweet thing, but I'm at peace with it. We climbed the mountain together.
Kys.
jussie smolett should represent him in the inevitable biopic
lol cope more u fucking asian
This was definitely top 3 for sure in my book. The next would be Vardy, and Ronaldo winning the champion's league with Juventus.
In golf it might be the best. Some others would be
>Francis Ouimet's US open win
>Jack's 86 masters win
>Hogan's comeback
>Bobby Jones' grand slam in the amateur era
>The Tiger slam in 2000-2001
Why are you so buttblasted by the fact that no one cares about handegg of boreball or whatever outside of America?
>Ctrl-F
>no Connacht
The same year as Lestah, in some ways worse (obviously no 5000-1 odds), in some ways better (they were on the verge of being dissolved 13 years before their win).
Tbh that one wasn't even as good as the Miracle on Ice.
The greatest sports story of all time is Buster Douglas, period.
Don't forget:
1. Europe's comeback at the Ryder cup
2. Japan beating South Africa in the rugby World Cup
3. Cubs winning the World Series

Go ahead and keep kicking that ball in your dingy alleyways with the other animals you live with.
Based Tiger dabbing on the haters, the hookers, the housewives and the betas.
Why are mock turtlenecks allowed on the golf course? They look more like workout clothes than golf attire. Not hating on Tiger, just curious as to why this is allowed, especially at Augusta. Is it really just Nike swinging their big dick around making sure that their shit gets sold in stores since you saw Tiger wearing it?
>other animals you live with
I don't live in america

You answered your own question. Nike wants to cater towards the younger golfbro crowd and what better way to do it than to make clothes that look like the opposite of what stuffy old guys would wear on the course, and have Tiger and all the /fit/bois like Rory and Brooks wear their clothes too. This also makes their designs and clothes more accepted and present in the golf world, so then you can go to the store and buy that same shirt for $110 in a size XXL at your local Dick's and have it look fucking retarded on you.
If Tyson fury unifies the HW division it will be the greatest comeback in the history of sport
It's funny to read Euros criticize Americans for being "ignorant" about the rest of the world, when they demonstrate even greater ignorance. Indeed, football is localized to the US and Canada, but baseball is popular in about a dozen countries that total 750 million people. Baseball is also your national sport. Yeah, it's retard version where they have to throw the ball very slowly underhanded since the idiot Finn who invented felt Finnish people would be too uncoordinated to hit 90-100mph pitching, but it's a version of baseball nonetheless.
i had the same thought, user. Augusta National means standards. that's the charm of the place: "fuck you, this is how we do things here."

>Those toes
>No polish as well
YIKES
Sorry but anyone that likes golf needs to get the fuck off Yea Forums
Yes, we really need to clear the catalog of all the golf threads to make room for more Liverslip bullshit
Hint, pesäpallo !=boreball (well it is boring af but still a different sport). Also no one cares about pesäpallo in Finland. Anyway the point is that that one mouth breather claimed that rest of the world follows American sports scene when it is simply not true maybe, maybe outside of superbowl. And even that is more of a curiosity thing than something people actively get invested in.

People who like drugs like it.
It's a fucking t-shirt
Exactly. It's a t shirt. Most courses wouldn't let you on wearing something like that, but now that Nike is a huge player in only the apparel side of golf, Tiger wearing them forces clubs to relax their policies a little. Wimbledon still makes everyone wear white.
