What was your sweetest championship as a fan?

[MrPickins]

This.

That was one of the best games I've ever watched...

I still keep the .ts recording I have of it, even though it's around 40GB.

For the other sports,

Hockey - Bourque, Sakic, Roy and the Avs
Football - 1999 Rams, sad that they lost in 2001. Big fan of Warner so it was sad seeing Zona lose to the Steelers. That 100 yard TD return sucked.
Baseball - still waiting for the cubs, probably waiting for Godot

Soccer - ManU, 99 treble. Was following them since Cantona days

Super Bowl XXIX in 1994. When Steve Young threw 6 touchdown passes to lead the 49ers over the Chargers. The NFC Championship game against the Cowboys that year was sweet as well. Probably one of the most exciting first quarters I've ever seen. It was nice to finally dole out some payback.

2009 Yankees. Funnest sports team to watch, ever. Their late 90's domination was EZmode and I was too young to enjoy it. The Yankees bullpen last year was unstoppable, so you loved to watch every second of the game. They could always win the game.

Giants putting an end to a Gaytriots perfect season.

Winning a championship must be such a fleeting and hollow feeling for those poor suckers.

I'll take the "fleeting and hollow" feeling 27 times.. as opposed to those suckers who root for teams who cant even make the playoffs.

 

[Kanalua]

Awesome!

 

[Dominato3r]

I wasn't around for the Oilers Stanley Cup win, if I was that would be my number one.

Canadian Olympic Gold :

 

[moshquerade]

Super Bowl XLII, the Giants upset the Pats 17-14. Eli finally looked like he had come of age. It was an awesome game that this fan will never forget.

And, of course, "The Catch" -

2005 Orange Bowl/BCS National Championship - unlike the previous year, left no doubt about the superiority of the national champions.

I'd say there was plenty of doubt. Enormous doubt, one of the most controversial seasons ever.

 

[monk3y]

2005–2006 Basketball National championship season. Came out of nowhere...

 

[newnameman]

Pistons 2004. Watching them tear apart the Lakers was a thing of beauty.

This.

 

[palswim]

I'd say there was plenty of doubt. Enormous doubt, one of the most controversial seasons ever.

Only in the state of Alabama. Otherwise, it was simply a satisfying game to watch.

I hope that some team eventually goes 19-0. Don't really care which team, if only because those 72 Dolphins are a bit obnoxious about the whole thing. The Colts giving up the regular season games was kind of disappointing. They didn't win the SB anyway, though.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

82 Olympics ice hockey - just too unreal and storybook.

I assume you mean the 80 Olympics.

85 'nova over G'town. I'm not really a nova fan, but was pulling against Gtown because it was The Right Thing To Do. nova pretty much had to play a perfect game to beat them, and they did.

That was a great game -- I still remember watching it.

'94 Cowboys. The turnaround from worst team in the NFL to best was amazing and fast.

Cowboys finished with the worst record in the NFL in 89 and barely missed the playoffs in 90. They won their first SB in the Jones/Johnson era in 92 and followed with another win in 93 (and another in 95).

For me, a few stick out in my mind:

1. Bears beating the Patriots in 85.
2. Colts beating the Bears in 06.
3. Giants beating the Patriots in 07.

 

[2Xtreme21]

1) Pens '09 Stanley Cup champs.
2) Super Bowl XLIII - Steelers 27 - Cardinals 23
3) Pens '92 Stanley Cup champs
4) Pens '91 Stanley Cup champs
5) Super Bowl XL - Steelers 21 - Seahawks 10

In that order. #5 I'm just proud of because it's my team winning the super bowl-- it was honestly an AWFUL game.

 

[bctbct]

Kansas vs Memphis '08, most exciting game ever!
Kansas vs. Oklahoma '88, Larry Brown threw the fast break on Tubbs even though that was his game.

Packer Super Bowl 31, and the Badgers Rose Bowl in Jan 1994

1992-1993 The World Series goes North

World Series games were contested outside of the United States for the first time in 1992, with the Toronto Blue Jays defeating the Atlanta Braves in six games. The World Series returned to Canada in 1993, with the Blue Jays victorious again, this time against the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. No other Series has featured a team from outside of the United States. Toronto is only one of four teams in the modern era to win successive World Series titles. The 1993 World Series was also notable for being only the second championship concluded by a home run, after Joe Carter's three run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning sealed an 8-6 Toronto win in the final game. The first such occasion was the 1960 World Series when Bill Mazeroski hit a ninth inning home run to win the championship for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

and the 1972 Summit Series:

Definitely Super Bowl XXXII, when my Broncos finally won one, against incredible odds.

Super Bowl XXXIII was nice too - but such a blowout!
