ESPN viewers are on drugs

Greatest Highlight?

Boise State - statue of liberty play

This has to be some kind of joke. It may not make it past the final four on sportscenter, but getting that far is absurd. Flutie, Immaculate Reception, and 1980 Miracle on Ice are obvious choices. I have no problem with any of those highlights, but Boise freakin' State. A bowl game in 2007 against Oklahoma. Please. Let us not over-dramaticize that moment. It was a nice play. Creative. Deceptive. And Boise State winning that game was a great underdog story. But Greatest Highlight EVER??? Instead of focusing more on the problem, I am here to offer replacements.

The Band is on the Field - Cal v Stanford (it was in the ESPN bracket but lost to one of those plays up above)
Music City Miracle - And not just because of the Buffalo connection
The Block - Hakim Warrick's game-winning block against Kansas in the National Championship game
The Flip - Derek Jeter cutting across the field against the Oakland A's in the 2001 Division Series, intercepting the throw between first base and home, and flipping it to Posada to punch out Jeremy Giambi at the plate.
And, recent nominee, The Helmet Catch - SU grad David Tyree making the play of the Super Bowl and helping take down the previously undefeated Patriots (oh, but wait, pushing this play into top play ever might be premature. Somewhat like saying a Boise State touchdown in the '07 Fiesta Bowl is in the running.)
