"The Agony of Defeat"
Interesting article by Joe Posnanski, rapidly becoming one of my alltime favorite sports writers, on painful sports losses. I think he has number one right: the 1972 Olympics gold medal basketball game. (But maybe that's just because it's only one of two on the list that I saw live.) And while I'd seen #10 before, it's still amazing.
My team the Texans had one of those hard to take losses this year when all we had to do was knock down a hail mary pass. It was knocked down but went right into the hands of a Jaguar receiver and he scored the touchdown in the last second. That was a tough one.

Seriously? No Taylor vs. Chavez March 17, 1990 fight?
