That Friday night a couple of weeks ago when the Royals made the playoffs. Oh, yeah.

I don't cry much over sports now...too old I guess. But the Royals over the A's was a thing of beauty...yup.

I'm speechless!(Did I just walk into that one?)

My teammates and I cried when we lost the Pop Warner football Championship...
I will probably cry if we ever win the AFC Championship and when they hand Clark the trophy named after his dad.
But I'll probably be dead.

I cried my eyes out on Christmas Day 1971 when I was just 8 years old. My father made fun of me the whole day about crying over a stupid sporting event. It was the first of MANY times the Chiefs would break my heart over the last 43 years......:deevee:

In the longest NFL game played to date at 82 minutes, 40 seconds (and the Chiefs' last-ever game at Municipal Stadium), Miami kicker Garo Yepremian kicked the winning 37-yard field goal after 7:40 of double-overtime.

The Chiefs opened up the scoring with Jan Stenerud's 24-yard field goal. Then Chiefs defensive back Willie Lanier intercepted a pass from Bob Griese and returned it 17 yards to set up Len Dawson's 7-yard touchdown pass to Ed Podolak, increasing the lead to 10–0. However, Griese rallied the Dolphins back on their next drive, completing a 23-yard pass to Paul Warfield and a 16-yarder to tight end Marv Fleming on the way to Larry Csonka's 1-yard touchdown run. Shortly before halftime, the Dolphins defense recovered a fumble from Podolak deep in Chiefs territory, enabling Garo Yepremian to kick a 14-yard field goal to tie the game.

Kansas City retook the lead in the third quarter, on a 15-play, 75-yard drive that took 10 minutes off the clock and ended with Jim Otis' 1-yard score. Miami responded quickly though, storming right back to tie the game with a 1-yard touchdown run from Jim Kiick.

In the fourth quarter, Dolphins linebacker Nick Buoniconti recovered a fumble to give his team a big scoring opportunity. But Kansas City took the ball right back when safety Jim Lynch intercepted Griese's pass on the Chiefs 9-yard line. Kansas City then stormed 91 yards, including a 63-yard completion from Dawson to rookie receiver Elmo Wright to retake the lead, 24–17, with Podolak's 3-yard touchdown run. Miami struck right back as Griese completed passes to Warfield for gains of 17 and 26 yards before finishing the 71-yard drive with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Flemming, tying the game at 24 with 1:25 left in regulation. Podolak returned the ensuing kickoff 78 yards to the Dolphins 22-yard line before being shoved out of bounds by Miami's Curtis Johnson, giving Stenerud a chance to win the game for the Chiefs in the final minute of regulation. But he missed the field goal attempt from 31 yards and the game went into overtime.

Kansas City took the opening kickoff of the first overtime period, and Podolak returned it to the 46-yard line. Kansas City then drove into scoring range, but Stenerud 42-yard field goal attempt was blocked. Yepremian also attempted a 52-yard field goal later in the period, but missed. Csonka's 29-yard run in the second overtime period set up Yepremian's game-winning score.

Podolak's 350 all-purpose yards (8 receptions for 110 yards, 17 carries for 85 yards, 3 kickoff returns for 154 yards, two punt returns for two yards) in this game remain an NFL playoff record, and is still the fourth highest total in NFL history. "I don't think any one player in a big game, a monumental game like that, had a day like Eddie Podolak had," said Chiefs coach Hank Stram after the game.[1] Chiefs running back Wendell Hayes added 100 rushing yards, while Wright caught 3 passes for 104 yards. Dolphins receiver Paul Warfield finished with 7 receptions for a career postseason high 140 yards, while Dolphins linebacker Nick Buoniconti racked up 20 tackles

this. i couldn't watch the game. buddy was texting me the score as the game was getting close to be over. i texted my wife to record the end of the game and extend the time by an hour. i came home to HER watching the game. i teared up. just like many of you big lunch boxes.

little did i know that i'd do it again against the A's. and once again on sunday at Kaufman stadium, as i was high-5ing 6 or 7 royals, i teared up again (those guys are just a bunch of kids, really).

as someone else on CP said, don't pinch me, i might be dreaming........

As a spectator? no.

Cry? no. Pissed off so bad I can't see straight? Yes

I see your 1997 and raise you 1995 and 1993, with a side of 2003 and 2013. :banghead:

Not a sporting event but definite tears/weeping when DT passed.

A very large swelling of emotion with borderline tears when we beat the A's this year. No actual tears though.

When my daughter won her powder puff football game as a senior in High School. I misted up a bit wishing that her mom had lived to see it, because it was her last childish sports moment, and her mom loved those.

Yeah, I got close when Montana's head bounced off the turf in Buffalo. :(

I got a little teary-eyed in 2008 with about 5 minutes left to play in the National Championship game. I went through a crazy range of emotion in about 45 minutes. From my head in my hands to the happiest person in the world.

Sweet God no.
