I’ll let you decide on the definition of ‘many’. There are three recaps I’ve watched at least 10 times each: - Bayern’s 8-2 defeat of Barca - Germany’s 7-1 defeat of Brazil - New England’s comeback from 28-3 down in the Super Bowl I’ve also watched the whole first half of Germany-Brazil, but not the whole game end-to-end. And after I’d watched any of them more than a couple of times, they started popping up as suggestions on YouTube. Of all of them, I’ve probably watched 7-1 the most though. So, whatcha got? What conquest are you reliving through the magic of video recaps? ---

As a lifelong Green Bay Packers fan, I’ve watched summary films/videos of the 1967 NFL Championship Game (a.k.a. “[The Ice Bowl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_NFL_Championship_Game)”), which is probably the most-famous game in the team’s history, many times. (I was just under 3 years old when it was played, so I did not watch it at the time.) ---

The 2016 [World Series final out](https://youtu.be/HOp8w2PgHlM?si=L9gxsxq1DcF4aeOR), which ended a 108-year championship drought for the Chicago Cubs. And, because it’s just amazing to think about, [Randy Johnson obliterating a bird with a baseball](https://youtu.be/Ih_ovjbwQGk?si=pb0d2XpmlJPALaoy). It’s one of those random occurrences where you could never do it if you tried to. ---

I watched the Game 7 replay of Dodgers-Blue Jays quite a few times. Not because I particularly care about either team, but because it amazed me how many times the Jays had the game (and the trophy) in the bag and let it slip away each time by inches. One has to rewatch it a few times to truly digest how improbable that loss was. I also saw the Argentina win over France in the World Cup final recap quite a few times. Lately, though, I’ve been having a new obsession; trying to see if there are any replays of famous sports plays from different TV camera angles that I had not seen before. Usually, those replays only exist from one single well-known perspective. Like, are there any replays of Eruzione’s winning goal in the Miracle on Ice from a different camera? ---

I’ve kinda drifted away from sportsball fandom in general, and football fandom in particular, in the past dozen years or so. But I have a set of DVDs of the Redskins’ three Super Bowl wins, left over from that time. In their first SB win, in 1983 v. the Miami Dolphins, the Redskins were behind 17-13, and with about 10 minutes to go, they had a 4th and 1 on the Miami 40. Back when I was still watching sportsball, I re-watched that play quite a number of times. ---

Super Bowl 48 where Seattle completely steamrolled over Denver, I’ve watched that probably a half dozen times. ---

I bet I’ve watched George Brett storm out of the dugout after having his home run disqualified because of too much pine tar at least 100 times. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gbEHAsZxRYo/hqdefault.jpg "George Brett and the pine tar incident") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbEHAsZxRYo) I’ve also watched the last 2:00 minutes + overtime of the Chiefs/Bills 2021 playoff comeback a bunch.

> [@RTFirefly](#): > > In their first SB win, in 1983 v. the Miami Dolphins, the Redskins were behind 17-13, and with about 10 minutes to go, they had a 4th and 1 on the Miami 40. Something I’m realizing reading this thread is that the things I’m rewatching are more modern era, and I haven’t gone back to look at older (pre-YouTube) favorites. I’ve been a fan of Washington since the early 70s, and yet I hadn’t revisited that clip. (that was however rectified a few seconds ago) ---

If we’re just talking about a brief replay of a sports event, I’ve watched Randy Johnson make that bird explode probably a hundred times.

The Mets’ comeback at the end of game 6 of the 1986 World Series never gets old. I remember watching as it happened and I still have never seen such an unlikely sequence of events. Also, I happened to have met Bill Buckner shortly before this occurred, and he was very rude to me.

“Schäfer nach innen geflankt. Kopfball, abgewehrt. Aus dem Hintergrund müsste Rahn schießen. Rahn schießt! Tor! Tor! Tor!” “A cross from Schäfer to the box. Header, deflected.

The 2014 American League wild-card game. Royals trailed the A’s by 4 going into the bottom of the 8th. They scored 3, then 1 in the ninth to tie the game. After Oakland took the lead in the 12th, KC came back with two of their own to win the game 9-8. I’ve watched the highlights of that game dozens, if not 100s, of times.
