Have you ever cried over a sporting event?
Just curious. I never knew anyone even considered it until I found this board and several of you said you do. (Not passing judgment at all, I just have honestly never heard of it).
The only time I can recall getting emotional over a sporting event was January 1996, we all know what I'm referring to. I walked out my parents basement and was yelling outside and throwing stuff for probably 20 min. Then I realized "Nobody can hear me and my ears are now frozen". Sports are, as Don Fortune once said, the Toy Department of life. Anyway: do you cry over sports? Well punk: do ya? |

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......
================================= December 25, 1971 AFC: Miami Dolphins 27, Kansas City Chiefs 24 (2OT) Game summary 1 2 3 4 OT 2OT Total Dolphins 0 10 7 7 0 3 27 Chiefs 10 0 7 7 0 0 24 at Municipal Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri Game time: 4:00 p.m. EST/3:00 p.m. CST Game weather: 62 °F (17 °C), partly cloudy Game attendance: 45,822 Referee: John McDonough TV announcers (NBC): Curt Gowdy and Al DeRogatis 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

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.

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.
