When the hype never lived up- Overhyped sporting events

[Jimbo]

It still amazes me that the Pats-Colts rivalry is must see. It would be like someone telling me a Lions-Cardinals game would be must see 10 years from now.

I consider the Colt's / Pat's must see, in the playoffs and nor5mally in th reg. season as well.
I also see the Steelers/ Colts as must see.

As far as overhyped games I'll go with an SB. I'll go with the Cowboys/Bills SB 27. Just a total blowout. There was 2 other mentioned. SB 24, SB29. I didn't say Super Bowl 24 because nobody could beat Montana and Rice. In Super Bowl 29, that's too obvious. The Chargers had NO CHANCE in that game and they were lucky they were even there.

how about this one..... joe louis / max schmeling. the black man vs the german during the time of hitler . then the brown bomber drops him in the first round.

How about the 1990 World Series? The Reds were the ones who were picked to get swept by the mighty A's. They ended up doing the sweeping.

Along with almost every other recent fight in boxing, the Tyson-Lennox Lewis fight was aweful. the one and only time I paid $55 for a boxing match. 0

I considered paying for that fight.

Instead, I saved a lot of money and watched something mush better for free: the Hurricanes/Red Wings triple overtime Stanley Cup Finals game.

Kind of reminds me of a party we had in college for the Tyson-McNeeley fight. Lasted a total of 89 seconds.

You don't win your conference by being lucky. They beat a good Pittsburgh team (in Pittsburgh) to get there.
