Sure it's been done before, but anyways... I find the hosts of Score Tonight(Sid and Tim) to provide as much laughs as any show on tv, maybe it's because I'm a sports fanatic, but they're just great.

Score 64 tournament is pitting the networks choices for the best 64 highlights ever, in a March Madness type bracket. Clips are better on the air with the jokes and explanations from the hosts and etc. around them, but anyways here are some of my favorites so far:

David Wright diving barehand

if anyone wants to see more they're all at http://www.thescore.ca/score64. :)

I think Improbable Goal, Denis Savard, and the Malone buzzer beater get my vote so far, though I know they're going to whip out some big ones still to come. 32 have been revealed so far, 2 more every night. I know Goal of the Century is coming up for sure.

And yeah, I know, I don't know how to post youtube links.

That Ping Pong clip is AMAZING

Yeah, I'm following it. They have that ping pong clip against the Oilers/Dallas blooper where the guy missed the open net and Hemsky ended up tying it. Maybe I'm a bit biased, but I think that blooper has got to be one of the most unbelievable things to ever happen in sport, so I'm pulling for it to win. Looks like it's gonna lose though.

My biggest issue with the Stefan blooper is that it's one of the few on the list that isn't because of talent or an amazing skill/play(Oilers scoring in time was bril, but the miss, the main amazing part, was just a brainfart), it's just the most shocking thing in sports anytime recently. It's like a stronger version of the guy running through the wall. Shocking, but one of the greatest highlights? Debatable.

I kind of wish they didn't put those two against each other though, they had to figure the ping pong would beat what it's facing, they should've made it go against something crappy, like the shoestring catch that got owned by Improbable Goal. I don't really get how that catch was near good enough for top 64.

It's not because of talent, but it is a pretty fantastic highlight. And the tournament's about the greatest highlight, not the greatest play, so I really think it's one of the top ones. As I said, I'm probably biased not only because it's my team, but because it's probably the only one on the list that I saw live. ;)

YES, The Fontenette 720 Dunk made it on...

That's gonna be pretty hard to beat. So far that 3rd bracket is crazy, there's Vince Carter jumping over the french guy going against Goal of the Century in the 2nd round, which I think it'll beat, and then the winner of that in the 3rd round against the 720 dunk presumably.

Been disappointed with some of the choices as of late... How did those 2 fights get in there, and how many baseball diving/barehand/standing on wall catches does there have to be?

It probably should've been Score 32, to be honest. Half of these aren't really deserving of best ever status, that Oilers empty net play really could've destroyed a large number of these, if it hadn't gone against such a hard opponent.

Yeah, I don't know why the fights were included, they're not really jaw-dropping, which is what some of the others were. You have to remember that The Score is Toronto-based, so of course there's gonna be a lot of baseball highlights. I'm disappointed that the last two hockey highlights have lost, I've been voting for every hockey play regardless of how good it is, and a fair few of them have lost.

I still think the Ovechkin goal has a good shot to win, though...

Hey Shack, did you catch Score Tonight tonight? I was actually the winner of the STI contest. Pretty crazy, eh? First time I've ever won a contest like that...

Haha.

I got my video played on MuchMusic once a while back, said my name on air as the winner and all.

Umm... celebrities don't ask that, only the fans do. Otherwise what's supposed to be an innocent chest signing becomes creepy.

(skip to end of video)

I think table tennis and wince's dunk are locked to go through. Ovechkin and improbable are too close to call. The last two are only there because of a weak bracket, the 720 or Patrick Stefan could've beat them easily.

I think the dunk will end up taking it

Ovechkin could take it all, if only because it's one of only two hockey highlights left. It's also been my pick since the beginning.

I don't know, Improbable has been slaughtering its opponents because of how good its roll-up clip during ST is, with all the mathematic impossibilities of it and all... I favour it in the next round to be honest.

I like Tiger's shot. As well as Ovechkin's and the soccer/football goal.

The rest aren't that great.

Looks like it'll be the Improbable Goal vs. the Dunk of Death for the final. Should be good.
Author:  Shack [ Tue May 22, 2007 7:27 pm ]
Post subject: 
Improbable won. :ohmy:

I liked the clip, but best of all time? Really? Wow. One of the most unlikely and seemingly impossible ones yes, but I don't know. The roll-up clip really benefitted it I guess, it's been labelled as practically divine intervention, heh.
