#2 was skill
#1 was luck and skill

good sift!

Only American sports eh? I guess my favourite Kabbadi play didn't have a chance.

nothing special

Hooray for Kabbadi! Some of my friends were constantly playing that at the dorms.. and in the USA.. so there!

Also, I still don't get how that Titans pass wasn't illegal. I mean, guy throws it from behind a 5 yard line, other guy catches it in front of same line, but that was backwards? Confused.

arrendek:

As in most sports, if the ref doesn't see it...

Why do you think the announcers were going on and on about no flags on the play?

arrendek,

Actually the play was reviewed. It's not about where the person is standing but where the ball was released.

yeah, that forward pass is pretty wild in #4

rubbish.

3 fucking american football moves in the 'top 5 best damn sports plays ever'?! is 'damn' lingo for 'american'?

only the tiger woods clip would come anywhere near my top 5.

Meh, it still looks forward from point of release to point of catch.

Why does every thread end up being America-bashing?

It's an American television program, why shouldn't it feature American-centric sports?


Y'know, I'm not a Golf fan at all but that shot by Tiger Woods is incredible. I watched this clip two or three times just to see it again.

..and Wycheck's pass was totally a forward lateral. It should have been whistled down and penalized five yards. Still a fantastic demonstration of athleticism.

the catch by willie mays??? meh

still gets an upvote from a diehard stillers fan for the immaculate reception at #1

No freaking way. No Pele? What about Muhammed Ali? Gretsky?

Screw american football.

Pretty mediocre collection, IMO. The best one is Tiger's shot, and I bet even he'd admit it had nothing to do with skill and all to do with the selling of his sou.. I mean, luck.
