| You think that's the greatest comeback....?
Go on a popular website and search for "Warrington Wolves v Bradford Bulls, Super League 6, Highlights" and watch that video
Back to the Ryder Cup I reckon they should do this for the Davis Cup in tennis as well, have Europe v USA, imagine how good we'd be then, Andy Murray instead of being surrounded by crap Brits, would have Federer, Nadal and Djovokic alongside him. We would kick america's butt.

A fantastic effort from Europe
Whether you're a golf fan or not, the Ryder Cup IS the greatest show on earth. Ar5e twitching non-stop tension for 3 days.
There's a Spaniard "upstairs" with a massive smile on his face.'"
A bunch of blokes hitting a little white ball on grass is greatest show on Earth !!!??? I've seen more tension in a piece of string. Utter waste of a walk is Golf.

| Justin Rose beating Mickelson from 1 down on the tee at the 17th was amazing stuff..... To bury that putt on 17 after Mickelson pulled the flag out for that chip shot was the stuff of legends.
The Ryder cup never fails to deliver... i cant think of any other sporting event that can rival the last day of the Ryder cup for drama and tension.

| I thought that the final nail in the US coffin was when Jim Furyk completely bottled it in the last 2 holes to give Europe a point. Great to hear those 'USA, USA,' chants suddenly fade away. Also interesting that the Wigan Walk is also very well known in Chicago. Those fans didn't half leave quickly.

| When I saw LeftyG had started this thread, I'd assumed he was doing a u-turn on Waterhouse.

| I'm not much of a golf fan myself but you have to respect Europe beating USA in their own back yard in any sport. What was funny was this morning's Nicky Cambell show on Radio 5. He picked a theme of 'What was the greatest sporting comeback ever' inspired by yesterday's Ryder Cup result. As might have been expected sundry wendyball fans came on claiming that various extremely ordinary league matches (including QPR v Newcastle twenty years ago ) were much bigger events! Talk about delusional.

| Nigel Benn coming back from a 1st round knock down to win with a stoppage in the 10th against Gerald McClellan was an amazing come back.... i remember being 18 at the time and i was heavily into boxing... I watched on in awe that night as Benn just stood there and declared war in the ring.
Because of what actually happened to McClellan, Benn never really got the plaudits that display deserved.
I think that's the best sporting comeback i have ever seen.

| Surely the greatest comeback of all time was seen at New Craven Park the other week, as the tenacious Wigan Warriors fought back from the dead to clinch the much-coveted League Leaders' Shield?

I've no great issue on Waterhouse
I commented before on on his great workrate and fantastic tackling before, I just expected a little more "devastating Aussie Test second-rower running", that we'd hoped for
No need for a u-turn from me

53838_1362327793.jpg And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

| I can't take the Ryder Cup seriously - Having to cheer on a side called 'Europe'???....
I agree it can be dramatic, but all those Golf fans thinking they are football fans, with their inane chanting (from both sides) just makes me cringe.
And as for the players themselves??.....Pampered, middle class blokes, who give footballers a run for their money when it comes to being overpaid and overhyped.

| I had backed the tie at 16/1 on Saturday night.
Cheers, Tiger

I remember that fight well. Watched it in the Tut 'n' Shive with 6 mates(now Level, for all you youngsters). Benn was getting battered in the first round and it was my turn to get the swallies in. One mate said "what are you doing, he's not going to last the round. Let's go somewhere else". I told him there was plenty of time, and Benn would recover. He did, and the same mate scattered 2 tables to get to the big screen, and kiss it. It was just awful what happened within 30 seconds of that.
Great comeback

The only time I've ever seen a certain first round knock out reversed. People forget these days that McClellan, before his tragic industry, was a fearsome fighter and character in the Tyson mould....remember the revelations coming out about him dog fighting, and taping up a labrador's mouth so it couldn't defend itself so his pitbulls could kill it. McClellan had no mercy for anyone least alone Benn and he knocked him straight out of the ring and Benn didn't know where he was. For Benn to have the strength, courage and stamina to recover from that and end up winning a phenomenal fight was an incredible piece of sport.
