Was 2008 the Best Year in Sports?

[Mets82]

Saw the Sportscenter Year In Review show and they were saying how 2008 was the best sports year. Was it? I mean the Giants, the Celtics, Tiger, Micheal Phelps etc. I mean it's hard to top. What do you think?

Unfortunately, Sportscenter has turned into complete garbage. I bet last year was the best sports year ever and next year will be too.

For Cleveland fans, 2007 was pretty good.

Besides the Cavs, 2008 has been miserable. Thank God '09 is near. Time to turn the page.

With the exception of the Red Wings, 2008 will go down as one of the worst years in sports history IMO...

No, that helped make 2008 the worse sports year ever.

I'll let you know Jan 08 (does that count toward this "sports year" still?)

 

[Mr Tony]

I can't believe you all forgot that the Philly's also won the world series after many years.

This is a very difficult question, it's very opinionated.
IF your teams won this past year , then YES you may consider it a great year.

Boston area won about everything a few years ago, so those in that area would obviously think it may have been... except for the Bruins ...

It all depends where you are from ...
Yes, SportsCenter has run it's course....
I like Baseball Tonight though, for the most part.
Until the topic becomes ALL yankees and Red Sox.
SC does this right away ... then again, look where they are located.

Lets see what the MLB channel turns out to be, we know what they say they will be , lets see if they do it.

Lets see... Wings win the Stanley Cup. Great. Pistons lose in the Eastern conference finals. Rerun of the last few years. Tigers defy all expectations and finish last in their division. Major Disappointment! Detroit Lions become first 0-15 team in NFL history, soon to be the first 0-16 team in NFL history. PRICELESS! Yeah, it was the best year in sports ever.

Horrible year except for the Celtics and Phelps.
