Youtube is really cool. I like it especially for some of the sports highlights that can be found there. Here are two awesome \*\*Tennis \*\*points: Federer vs. Hewitt Rally: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tZhQi8aDcg](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tZhQi8aDcg) Nadal vs Youzhny: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73AfWjOFvj4](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73AfWjOFvj4) Nadal Passing Shot: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9v41uJeKK0&feature=related](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9v41uJeKK0&feature=related) Here are a couple of amazing \*\*Soccer \*\*Goals: A Great Zinedine Zidane Goal: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClPNFZtgP6M](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClPNFZtgP6M) Karate Kick Goal by Fernando Torres: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAeToXi\_wzw](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAeToXi_wzw) Legendary Van Basten Goal: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j1Z-0ZMM5Q](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j1Z-0ZMM5Q) So, what are your favorite Youtube Sports highlights? ---

[http://video.aol.com/video-detail/barry-sanders-highlights/2209137582](http://video.aol.com/video-detail/barry-sanders-highlights/2209137582) I had season tickets for his whole career. They were absolutely worth it. ---

This [helmetless run](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCVy8sVqBm4&feature=related) by Jason Witten. In the replay, you can see how hard he got hit–just staying on his feet was really something, but then he ran for almost 30 additional yards! ---

This is proof of just how lousy my Cleveland Cavaliers have usually been, in that their first playoff series victory in 1976 was (and still is) referred to here in NE Ohio as a Miracle [Miracle at Richfield](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIX5pUk2T9w) As a Notre Dame fan shuddering to think of tomorrow’s USC game, it is comforting to look back at the [12/31/73 Sugar Bowl win over Alabama](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUzs6V6Nlms) [2007 Indians/Yankees bug playoff game](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7dlJ64_67Y) ---

Mario Lemieux becomes the first and only player in the NHL to score [five goals in the five possible ways](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHOf4y7t0dc) in a single game (even strength, power play, short handed, empty net, and penalty shot). A little backstory on this one. Lemieux had survived cancer that struck him at the absolute peak of his playing ability; he played on the same day as receiving his last chemo treatment despite pangs of nausea. He’d had back injuries so severe that some days he needed someone to lace his skates because he couldn’t bend over. With his body broken down, one of the all-around truly nice guys and involved-in-the-community athletes was forced into early retirement. In what everyone knew would be his last home game in Pittsburgh, with minutes to go, Lemieux got out on a breakaway and scored. The crowd gave him a seemingly-unending standing ovation while his family and friends looked on. I remember sitting in my basement watching it and crying. Anyway, here it is: [enough to make me tear up even now!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjLoeqiw2Uc) Mike Lange’s shouting “HERE HE COMES! HERE HE COMES!” makes it all the better. ---

I’ll also nominate [Darrelle Revis’ punt return vs. WVU](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV3g2Z-0ExA) as the most impressive athletic feat I’ve witnessed in person. Seriously, who doesn’t love a punt return featuring a block that pancakes two defenders at once? ---

With a twist: [1986 World Series, Game Six, 10th Inning.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb_xnCBJoKI) The twist is that it’s recreated using the old NES baseball game, and includes Bill Buckner’s infamous error. ---

[Fan’s Perspective of Romo Fumbling the Snap](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVuQ5aw0HAQ&mode=related&search) I was at that game. I’m sure it was exciting on TV but this clip is the only one I’ve found that properly captured how exciting it was live. 🆒 ---

> [@Least\_Original\_User\_Name\_Ever](#): > > I love that highlight. Although what I know about American Football could be written on the back of a postage stamp, this seems a bit lame to me. I’ll admit the guy Watson does a hell of a lot of running to get his man, but he’d never have done it had the opposition not taken the foot off the gas! .[It’s almost like hailing E.S.B. in this famous Grand National horse race.

[The Doctor](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpTfb9SkKaQ) I especially love #6 (watch the move behind the back, so quick you can miss it), #3 (in Walton’s face…I hate Bill Walton), #2 (note the takeoff point), and #1 (the greatest game dunk in basketball history). I’ll listen to those that argue that some player other than Julius Erving was the greatest of all time, but to say Doctor J is not the greatest dunker of all time is both wrong and insulting. ---

> [@ivan\_astikov](#): > > [Andy Roddick’s amazing ace .](http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XBLos1Pn7Tw) I know I shouldn’t have served this up without checking it’s credentials, but it seems there is some doubt this actually happened. Can any doper confirm either way? The argument that there are no advertising hoardings seems to kill the idea it is real. Oh, and I’m not sure it would have been an ace, even if it was real.
