    I think I've gone a week without a poll. Woo-hoo!

    Anyway, I'm surprised the Jesse Owens option doesn't have a boat-load of votes. I would have loved to seen the look on Hitler's face when Jesse proved him to be a complete and utter cock-sucking idiot.

    I am surprised that Jack's last Masters win is not higher.

    I am also surprised that soccer did not make the cut.

    But of course! He had the right idea before, but Owens' victory was just too much for Herr Assenhole to take.

    Sigh. L.A. Kings 6, Edmonton Oilers 5. Overtime. After the Kings were down 5-0 to start the 3rd period. Daryl Evans scores the winner.

    I remember watching something on TV about it once. The Kings were in the purple and gold, but I had no idea (obviously) it was called Miracle on Manchester.

    For an American, I would rank it with the Bills 35-point comeback on the Oilers. It was a first round playoff game, and the winner did not win the title.

    Really, Claws?

    I would love to have been there in person for about 95 percent of this list.
