What 2 seconds would you change?
 
Hey guys, I read this forum often, but don't post so if this has been done before just ignore.

I keep seeing that new Gatorade commercial where they change 2 seconds of sports history. Its an awesome commercial. Jordan misses his famous jumper/fade-away, Jeters wicked flip to home misses and the guy's safe, and Montana's TD throw goes long.

I was thinking about which specific MOMENT in sports I would change. Not the whole play, not the whole game, not the whole week or year. Just 2 seconds. 2 seconds that would change the base of your fanatacism for a particular player, team, or sport. Maybe something that happened within your own sports playing past. Its an interesting concept, and I have no idea what is important enough to me to change.

I think that if anything it would be a personal moment for me. I would stop at repetition 9 of a 10 rep set of overhead dumbell presses with 80 lb. dummys my freshman year at the academy. The 10th rep ended with my right arm pointed the wrong way and turned me into a sports fan instead of player.

Ideas?

Bill Bucker scoops it up, AND Mookie trips coming out of the box.

I think all Cardinal, Red Sox and Bills fans have obvious choices. Titans, Rams, Panthers and Sacramento Kings fans also have some options.

I am only 19 so I really don't have a ton of historical knowledge that I can draw from. But this is a very cool question so I will give it a go.

I can't really think of something for the Bears so the second thing that comes to mind would be the whole "bartman" thing for the cubs. Make that couple of seconds end up with an out and things go differently for the Cubs.

Hasselbeck gets picked in the NFC Wild Card game by Harris two years back.

Only a young Cub fan could think this. Any old Cub fan knows that things would've still gone wrong somehow.

I am sure the Spurs fans would like to change that last half second shot against them.
