Your Top 5 most scarring sports outcomes...

[Jerm]

So reading the Colts/Chiefs topic about the game in '96 that is a horror fest and how it scarred everyone gave me the idea for this topic...screw it, I'm curious about everyone else's...

Here's mine...

1. Colts/Chiefs '96 playoffs - What more needs to be said? Thought at the very least we were going to the Super Bowl and nope...I was devastated.

2. Blues/Red Wings - Game 7 '96 Western Conference Semfinals - Another "this is our year" moment...and Steve ****ing Yzerman in Double OT rips my heart out with the most seeing eye bullshit slapper ever. **** off.

3. Mizzou/Oklahoma '02 Elite Eight - Clarence Gilbert goes ice damn cold and Arthur Johnson couldn't hit a FT to save his life...yeah that about sums up this shit show. Nothing like losing to OU for the 1,769th time in a row with a chance to go to the Final Four on the line.

4. Phil Mickelson at the 2006 U.S. Open - This entire topic could be 1-5 Phil but this one takes the cake for me. I couldn't believe he was actually going to do it and win an Open after coming so close and then.........banana peel off the 18th tee. Compound that with a calamity trying to get to the green and a totally meltdown was in progress. I sat in silence as his chip for bogey and a playoff raced by the cup.

5. Game 7 2014 World Series - Thankfully 2015 dampened and lessened the blow of this loss even though it still stings pretty bad. Madison Bumgarner being possessed by Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, and Cy Young at once and watching it knowing the inevitable absolutely sucked. Then you have the ray of light Gordo triple in the 9th and the uncertainty of never knowing what would've happened had he been sent...

What an uplifting topic, yes I know.
