This is an easy one. The Memphis Tigers losing to Kansas, in the 2008 National Championship game.

2. 1974-75 First round Stanley Cup Playoffs I obviously wasn't around to see it, but that year we were arguably the best team in the league at 104 points and two Kings legends in Marcel Dionne and Rogie Vachon were eating the league alive. So we head into the first round of the playoffs against Toronto who was behind us like 40 something points in the standing. Easy enough right? Wrong! We get swept in 3 games and the best season in Kings history (at the time) was completely wasted. Dionne was not on the 1974-1975 team- the Kings traded for himafter that season. His first year was 1975-76. You're right. I done goofed. I don't know why I thought that he was on the team that season. Maybe it's because they were so good.

I'm a Packers fan. The Superbowl loss to Denver left me more pissed off than anything. I guess it was watching Davis run roughshod and then hearing the announcers go on and on about Elway finally getting his ring. Almost as if that was supposed to make me feel better about the whole thing.
This year's loss to the Giants. As a friend of mine (a Giants fan) put during the game, it was the f*** Up Bowl, with the winner being the team that managed to screw up just a little less.
Those playoff losses to the Cowboys in the '90s. Oh how I hated the Cowboys.

For me, as a Panthers fan, it's easily SuperBowl 38 or that playoff game against the Arizona Cardinals. They both absolutely GUTTED me. I haven't forgiven John Kasay and I will NEVER forgive Jake Delhomme. Jake Delhomme's performance was so bad, it nearly killed the franchise. He never recovered from it. Thanks to the suck of Matt Snore & Jimmy Klutzen, we were able to land Cam Newton and it's morning again in Carolina!

Mich./O$U 2006
Both teams go in 11-0, Bo dies the day before, and we lose a 3 point heartbreaker in the back and forth classic. Then to make it worse, the dipshits at the BCS refuse to consider a rematch for the National Championship because "we had our shot", "no team deserves a rematch", "no one would want to see the rematch" and "Mich. winning would make the BCS look bad if the win the National Title by beating a team they lost to".

I'd say Game 7 2003 ALCS.. just because the night seemed to last forever. I was with my then girlfriend/now wife in Disney World removed from my comfort zone and all that. I just remember the Sox going up, it seemed like it was bound to happen and then bit by bit slooooooowly it all started to fall apart. It wasn't just the Boone HR it was death by a thousand paper cuts and people pouring vinegar into them. In the end my wife had fallen asleep and I watched the end in the dark in my hotel room at Disney's All Star Movies resort

Texas Rangers: Game 6 2011 World Series. NONE of you have anything worse then that. You can't. It felt like my heart and soul died while simultaneously getting my nuts ripped off. In two separate innings.
Dallas Mavericks: Before last year it was just a long string of crushing losses. But if I had to pick one it would be Game 3 of the 2006 NBA Finals. Up 2-0 in the series and with a huge lead, and we blow the game. Instead of sticking the dagger in, we never won another game in the series.
Carolina Panthers: As already said, it's a toss up between Super Bowl 38 and the playoff game against Arizona. John Kasay kicking the ball out of bounds, or watching the live career destruction of Jake Delhomme. Take your pick.
Dallas Cowboys: The season ender against the Eagles in 2008 or 2009, can't remember for sure. But it was a win and get in scenario for both teams. Dallas proceeded to lose something like 44-6 and Romo had the infamous interview about if that's the worst thing that ever happens to him then he has a good life. You don't say something like that right after that kind off loss.
Dallas Stars: Hard to pinpoint one. Almost anything against Detroit becomes agonizing. The 2000 Stanley Cup Finals against New Jersey comes to mind.

New York Yankees: 2004 ALCS, Game 6: To hell with Game 7, because at that point, there was a pool of blood in the water, and the Red Sox just jumped all over each piece of garbage Yankee pitcher they trotted out there through the first seven innings.
Watching that fat, crippled f*** Curt Schilling and the bloody sock and the rest of the nonsense (Including the immortal Tony Clark windmill against Keith Foulke to end it) was more than I could bear at that point.
New York Giants: Since the Miracle at the Meadowlands II has already been discussed, as well as the 2002 NFC Wildcard Game which was recently avenged this Winter, I'll go back to the 1997 Wild Card playoffs against the Vikings. After blowing a 19-3 lead, it's probably the only playoff game I've walked away from to avoid throwing a serious shit-fit, which I ended up doing anyway.

Tigers - Galarraga losing the perfect game. I can't really get upset about Detroit's recent playoff exits (St. Louis outclassed us in the '06 World Series, ditto for Texas last year in the ALCS). I'm a huge fan of no-hitters/perfect games, and to watch it from beginning to end as it happen and just see the perfecto taken away from him just pissed me off. Now I'm just bitter about it, not at Joyce, but at the MLB front office who decided not only to not overturn the decision, but to say they were going to look further into replay afterwards and did jack shit with that too.
Red Wings - Game 7, 2009 Stanley Cup Finals. f*** Sidney Crosby. That is all.
Pistons - Toss-up between Game 5 of the '07 Eastern Conference Finals (with LeBron scoring the final 25 Cavalier points) and Game 5 of the 2005 NBA Finals (f***ing Robert Horry).
Lions - I don't really have one that's that big a deal. I guess you could go with the final game of the '08-'09 season, which put the Lions at 0-16.

Ohio State: BCS title game against LSU. Total annihilation. Cleveland Browns: The Drive. Never hated Elway for it, but still crushing Cleveland Indians: 1997 World Series. Jose Mesa is a swear word in my family Cleveland Cavaliers: Loss of LeBron James San Jose Sharks: Last year's playoffs

Cubs....being in attendance for that game 6 of the NLCS in 2003...i actually started to cry i was 16 at the time and it felt like the worst thing ever.
dont even get me started on game 1 of the 2008 NLDS and how upsetting that was for those of us there live, the second most of the ballpark saw the look on Dempster's face when he finished warming up, we knew we were in for a long night....also i still blame the wind for seeming to blow straight in at 100 miles per hour every damn time Edmonds came up to bat.

Phillies - 1993 World Series Game 6 - Count me in for Joe Carter hammering Mitch Williams as well. I think that was the first time I saw my dad cry. As a funny story, that clip came on the copy of the Microsoft Encyclopedia program that came with Windows 95 (Encarta I believe), so we could RELIVE THE MAGIC over...and over...and over... That being said I felt like game 5 of the NLDS this past season was awfully excruciating. Probably 2 innings in I stated "oh God we're going to get shut out aren't we?" and what do you know, I was right. And I'm sorry, but watching the Cards dance around our ballpark like a bunch of douches while all the Phils were huddled around freshly crippled Ryan Howard after watching a whole game of being CG SHO'd is one of the most depressing ways to end a season as I've ever seen. Eagles - For me it's the 2004 Super Bowl, only because it's the first one I saw with the Eagles in it. The Andy/Donovan choke-fest at the end was no fun. Flyers - Getting swept by the Red Wings in '97, easy. Bet you wish you touched that Prince of Wales trophy now, don't you Eric? Sixers - Pretty much pick a game against the Heat, and you can't go wrong. It's getting comical at this point.

As a Cubs fan, the 2003 NLCS definitely stands out.
I'll go with September 1969, though. They led the league through most of the year and then lost 17 of their last 8 games to lose their playoff spot. It was the closest that Ernie Banks came to the World Series--since he is my favorite baseball player of all time, I'll say that Mr. Cub missing out on his big chance is the Cubs' most crushing loss.
