Lance Armstrong wins this easily.

The Red Sox coming back from 0-3 is overrated.

For an individual hockey game: The miracle on Manchester. 1982 playoffs, the Kings were down 5-0 to edmonton to start the 3rd period. they tied it in regulation and won it in overtime.

as much as i hated it (worst sports memory as a child i think, my favorite player was warren moon), i am going to have to say the bills comeback against the oilers in '93... "the comeback"

Part of what made that incredible was the fact that Kelly & Thurman weren't even playing. Added bonus points for Houston killing Buffalo the previous week costing them home field advantage, and talking a lot of trash after.

#2 Duke at #10 Maryland 2001

Maryland 90 Duke 80 with 1 minute left.

Jason Williams scores 8 points including 2 3's. Nate James hits 2 free throws to tie it at 90 and take the game to OT. Shane Battier takes over in OT and Duke wins 98-96

I remember watching the last minute in complete amazement.

I think this goes right up their with the Red Sox & Frank Reich.

I hate you. I was 9 years old and living in Edmonton when this game happened. There were tears.

There was one where UNC scored 8 points in 11 seconds that's got to be up there for college games. I forget when it happened.

Not to mention before the 3-ball, right? Sick.

That was the worst officated game ever. Many of Buffalo's second half touchdowns should have been called back, including one where the reciever ran out of bounds down the sidelines until the corner finally let him go (he was so obviously ineligible). He came back inbounds and "caught" a touchdown.

Unbelievable how bad that game was officiated!

Re: Greatest sports comeback ever!
 

I still have nightmares about the Bills/Oilers playoff match. I can't give more details as I went to bed when the Oilers were ahead by enough that I knew we were going to win. (Games were live on USAFRTS, not TV back in those days)
I woke up during overtime.
