The Ice Bowl, likely the most memorable game in Green Bay Packer history.
For an Alabama fan, this is THE Catch.
I wonder if that 4th-and-2 play by the Patriots will become “The Call”.
How about the Snow Plow.
Or the Leon Lett.
Just remembered one:
“The Bay of Pigs”: according to Chris Berman, any game between Green Bay and Tampa Bay, esp. in a season when both teams are playing poorly.
Funny how it seems its mainly NFL and Baseball plays that have been given specific names. Is that an Amercian thing? (‘Hand of God’ aside obviously)
It doesn’t have a name as such apart from maybe ‘The Miracle Try’, or ‘That Try’ but got to share this rugby League one Miracle Try
Miracle of Bern
ETA: and, of course, The Rumble in the Jungle
The 1988 Fog Bowl in Soldier Field.
The Called Shot in the 1932 World Series.
The Sneakers Game. The New York Giants won the NFL Championship over the Bears in 1934 by switching from cleats to sneakers to play on an ice-covered field.
There was Gabby Hartnett’s famed **Homer in the Gloamin’ **back in 1938.
There was the Invisible Punch, in the Ali-Liston fight.
There was the famous Long Count, in the Dempsey Tunney rematch.
Even as a die-hard Chargers fan I can admit that the play-by-play call was fantastic (and very funny…now… many years later). What I can’t understand is how that play was ever allowed to stand in the first place. Raider fans will tell you that “fumbling forward” wasn’t made illegal until the next year - precisely because of this play. But if the same play happened today, the correct call would still not be an illegal forward fumble, because he didn’t fumble the ball.
It was then, and would be today, nothing more than an incomplete pass. When you throw the ball forward, overhand OR underhand, and the ball hits the ground, it’s an incomplete pass. The referees really blew it with that one. The fact that it was the Raiders just makes it that much more galling.
Well, here in Minnesota Viking country, some of us still remember Jim Marshall’s Wrong Way Run.
Refs in the Big 10 Conference get a lot of grief these days for being terrible, but nothing as egregious as the Big Eight’s refs allowing a Fifth Down for Coloradoagainst Missouri to score a touchdown. Colorado would then go on to win the National Championship later that season.
Buffalo sports fans all know Wide Right and No Goal.
I’d provide the requisite youtube links, but they’re too painful.
Huh. Don’t forget Red Right 88. I was on my way home from a baby shower :eek: and had to stop for gas. It was about 10 degrees below zero and I was standing there at the pump listening to it happen on the radio. I damn near dropped the hose. Shitshitshit. 
Wide Right and Son of Wide Right will forever haunt Florida State fans.
Possibly the greatest game ever by an NFL player: The Kellen Winslow game.
There are also several current threads about “Fourth and Two”, about which you might hear more come playoff time.
How did we get this far without The Music City Miracle?
