I just learned about that today, very weird. Especially since i had watched "Dark Water" a few years ago. Eerie.....

This one hits me right in my very soul

The photographer who took that photo ended up committing suicide. I think that photo won a Pulitzer

That can be done. Elway's dive in SB 32. Here was a man who was told he could never win the big one, was nothing but a choker, giving everything he had at 38 when he could've easily slid. I think this play was the turning point of the game and got him his first Super Bowl ring.

The end of WWII

Rick Monday of the Cubs saving the American flag from being burned during a MLB game vs the Dodgers in 1976. He still has the flag, and has turned down offers of up to $1 million for it.

Never understood why he didn't just kick those coward's asses instead of stealing their flags. But he became a hero to many.

It was the turning point, the entire team erupted because of how bad he wanted. Thank god he didnt think about passing and not running 5 or so yards when it was there. Got to really want it.

He is where my lack of knowledge on baseball and of this incident comes in. What is the story on that?

I loved this play - the superbowl was not on the line like the helicopter play - but our season was at the time.
