The most impressive feat in sports recently?

Teddy Bruschi was named AP Defensive player of the week less than one year after suffering a life threatening stroke. Can you say stones?

That's a good one. I prefer "the look"

I love TB, but this award had to have been a bit self-fulfilling. In other words, him simply playing made him a favorite to win.

granted, that is impressive, but honestly, nobody but him, his doctors, and his close friens know exactly how impressive.

Reggie Bush's game in South Bend will stick in my memory for a long time.

Most impressive feat? Tracy McGrady's 13 points in 33 seconds comeback win against the Spurs. I don't see that ever being matched.

Man, you know I'm with you on Houston sports, that's where I grew up. But this feat, while fantastic, has already been matched...by Reggie Miller, in the playoffs against the Knicks. I forget how many points he had in how many seconds...but it was very similar, plus it was in a playoff game, which IMO probably makes it a greater feat.

FWIW, Donovan McNabb's "scramble forever" play against the Cowboys last season is on my list of very impressive feats. Dude scrambled around for like 15 or 16 seconds and then delivered a 50-yard strike...right on the money. That was pretty incredible.

Reggie had like 8 points in 16 seconds. McGrady's was really incredible, although definitely not the most impressive feat recently, but the context of the Pacers/Knicks rivalry at that time makes Miller's a lot more special IMO.

Okay, 8 points in 16 seconds = 0.5 pts/second
13 pts. in 33 seconds = 0.39 pts/second

PLUS the fact that it was a playoff game with a great rivalry...it all adds up to the fact that though I enjoyed watching McGrady's more because I'm a Houston fan, Reggie's was both a more difficult feat (that combined offense AND defense, with the steal) and a more important feat.

Anyway, that was my original point -- that McGrady would first have to EQUAL Reggie's feat before he could have one that would never be matched.
