10. Phelps - Michael Phelps wins a record 8 gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
9. Super Bowl XXXIV: Rams vs Titans and "The Tackle" - Who could ever forget the image of Kevin Dyson reaching for the endzone as Rams linebacker Mike Jones tackled him at the one and time expired.
8. McGwire/Sosa Homerun Chase of '98 - These two sluggers saved baseball. Period. Attendance and ratings were declining ever since the '94 strike shortened year, and baseball needed someone to step up.
7. Lance Armstrong - He won seven straight Tour de Frances. Even more impressively, he beat cancer.
6. Super Bowl XLII: Giants vs Patriots - The Patriots were the first team to go undeafeted in the regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins, and were heavily favored in the game. The Giants had the greatest drive in Super Bowl History with the greatest catch in Super Bowl history, and won the game.
5. The Grandaddy of Them All, 2006 - Vince Young puts his team on his back against what I feel was a much better team, and beats them on a running score inside the last minute.
4. Boise State - Boise State proved to the world that the non-BCS conference teams know how to play football, too. The amazing play calling and execution of the play calling is what makes this the most memorable college football game of all-time.
3. The White Sox Win the Series - In 2005 the White Sox had one of the most dominant postseason runs in sports history and won their first World Series since 1917. This victory ended the second longest championship drought in Major League Baseball.
2. The Boston Red Sox Win the Series - This was more impressive than the White Sox win because they did something no other team had done before, in baseball. They came back from a 3-0 deficit in the ALCS. It was even more memorable because they did it against their arch-rival, the New York Yankees.
1. Brett Favre Honors His Father - The day after his father died unexpectedly, Favre took the field on Monday night in Oakland. He threw 4 touchdown passes and accumulated 399 yards en route to a 41-7 victory.

I love that Brett Favre is on your list, but I just wish that he would actually retire so that he could take his place in history like he is supposed to. It makes it really hard to put him on a top ten list when he refuses to let his career fade into to the sunset.
I remember being at a Packer party when he honored his dad at that game. Some people were practically crying! It was an intense moment and I love Brett Favre, but I agree that he needs to retire. He lost a lot of people's respect by coming back the way he did, and I think he's only going to loose more.
I think I'd agree the Brett Favre one deserves to be up at the top because that was such an amazing performance. Under the circumstances that was one of the best performances I have ever seen.
