Sporting event ever make you cry?
 
I was thinking about Tony Gonzalez of the Atlanta Falcons, who cried "like a baby" after winning his first playoff game in his 16 year career.

I could only think of one time when I got that emotional. It was when Edgar Renteria hit a 3-run homer in the clinching game of the Giants' 2010 World Series against the Texas Rangers. The homer, while not the walk-off variety, pretty much iced it for the Giants. I thought back on the lifetime of futility and all the games my Dad brought me to back in the 60s, watching Willy Mays, et al, and dreaming of this moment since I was 5. My wife and kids thought I was crazy when I couldn't speak and had to leave the room.

What about you?

Well, there's a big difference between being a fan and crying after a sporting event, and being a participant in a sporting event.

No, but both my brothers are Raider fans. They cried a lot this season.

For some reason, the name "Buckner" seems to have an effect on sox fans.:D

Watching a game has made me cuss, but never cry.

I can think of many times when one of my kids was playing a sport and made me so proud things got a little blurry .......

I don't bet; no reason to cry.

Everytime i watch the friggin ironman triathlon i end up crying.

80 year old ladies, cancer survivors, the participant who collapses 5 feet from the finish line.

Senna crashing at Imola - I was just a kid and was used to seeing drivers walk away from accidents that looked way worse.

I cried when we lost the Pee Wee football championship when I was ten. Crying for millionaire pro ballers? Not so much.

I cried once.

Some friends and I agreed on and placed bets with a bookie and were up quite a bit over the course of several weeks. Unbeknownst to anyone, one of the group bet everything and then some on a college football game and lost.

craigster59 01-16-2013 11:30 AM

I do have to admit, i got a bit misty watching this game....

+1 on the Kirk Gibson... don't think I cried thou... love the shot from behind home base when he hits the ball out... you can see a car in the parking lot that left the game early slam on the breaks.

Okay, this, for sure, plus Earnhardt, and Greg Moore. Those three ripped my guts out.
