    Me too. When I run a marathon, I love to go back to the finish line and just watch people finish for awhile. Some of them bring a tear to your eye, some send a chill up your spine, some of them make you laugh. It's pretty cool.

      1994 I was 13 years old, Dolphins vs Chargers in the playoffs. Pete Stoyanovich has a 45 yard field goal to win the game that he missed. I was on my knees in front of the TV, a win would have sent Miami to the AFC championship game for the first time since 1984. I bawled. My family was laughing at me.


      Also 2001 BYU vs Utah when Staley raced down the sidelines and Gilford picked off that ball from Lance Rice, I felt a burning in my bosom.

        I coach girls' basketball. I witness the interaction of sports and tears on almost a weekly basis.

          I got pretty emotional last year during all of the Sean Taylor stuff...especially the various tributes on and off the field.

          In most games that I have an emotional tie to, I'm too releived by the outcome (assuming a win) to get overly emotional...which I hope is the case on Saturday.

          Rudy still gets me every time.

          Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

            1991, I was 10 and the 49ers were playing the Giants in the NFC Championship game. Despite being a huge Steve Young fan, Joe Montana gets hurt, Young can't lead them to a win, and the Giants keep the 49ers from being the first time in history to win Back-to-Back-to-Back Super Bowls. I locked myself in my room and cried for a few hours after wards.
