A big night at the Olympics I think like the Cathy Freeman night in Sydney where she ran, Michael Johnson ran and I'm pretty sure the 100m final was held too. THat wouldn't be bad. I'd love to go to the New York marathon and run it, but I keep breaking down... In many respects it comes down to who's playing for me, but as a neutral a big soccer final between traditional rivals would be worth seeing. Real vs Barca springs to mind first.

Since I've had a lot of experience in sports photography, my dream is to be on the sidelines for a college football National Championship game, snapping pictures. I'd rather be there than at a Super Bowl or anything else.
As a spectator it would have to be a World Cup final.

That's not surprising.
I'd like to see a Rangers postseason game...and series win. They have a great lineup this year that could actually keep from melting down. They are five up on 2nd place, and playing them the next four days...could go up by as many as nine. The last time they even made the postseason was their sweep out by the Yankees...in '99. Even more reason I despise the Yanks...they are 1-9 against any team in the postseason, and 1-9 against the Yanks.
The other three teams have all made or won the final series (Mavs are the only team to make a finals series and not win - I still say they had it taken away...how can you be 6" from a player and foul them...but yet they beat a man down and no foul?).

If my Twins keep playing poorly and miss out on postseason play (or are eliminated at some point if they do make it), I'll be cheering for the Rangers.

With it now being mid-Sept and the Rangers' magic number is eight, they are all but a lock to get into the postseason...go Rangers!

If all the games go like this, and who I want to win the other series...it will be Twins v Rangers. I despise the Yankees...go Twins!
