My 11 Favorite Sports Games of 2011

11. The last day of The Masters was good. Tiger Woods came roaring back. Rory McIlroy collapsed and Charl Schwartzel pulled it out in the end.

10. USA vs. Brazil woman's soccer was amazing. Abby Wambach's header saved the USA's life and then the States won in penalty kicks.

9. East first round game 7, Bruins vs. Canadiens shocked me. I thought the Bruins were down and out, but they won 4-3 in overtime.

8. World Series Game 6. It went to 10 innings and I think many people in the country believe this to be the best game of the year. Freese tripled to save the Cards and homered to win 11-10.

7. Super Bowl XLV was good like Super Bowls always are. Rodgers threw TDs, Woodson picked some people off, Clay Matthews had some sacks, Driver had a touchdown. The Pack was back.

6. The NCAA Men's Division 1 Final Four Championship game between UCONN and Butler thrilled the nation. Kemba stayed cool and the Huskies hustled to win it all.

5. I loved it when Tim Tebow defeated the New York Jets. My favorite player taking down my least favorite team. Pure gold. Ends it on a rushing, amazing, touchdown.

4. Eastern finals Game 7 was awesome. Bruins and Lightning go to Game 7 and Horton hears a WOO!!! He slides in and the Bruins shutout Tampa, 1-0.

3. Patriots playing the Dolphins on Christmas Eve was one of three sporting events I went to this year including Celtics-Heat playoffs and Red Sox-Tigers rain delay. Brady lead the comeback.

2. Tebow's first start against Miami. Down 15-0 with two minutes left. Two touchdowns, two-point conversion, Matt Prater game-winning kick. That's when Tebow Mania began.

1. Stanley Cup Finals Game 7. The game where the Bruins defeated the Canucks to win the Stanley Cup. 4-0! Bergeron, Marchand, Lucic, and Tim Thomas. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-Bruins!
