In all of sports, not just football (The General-Sports forum is crap).
Al Michaels' call at the 1980 Olympics
Joe Starkey's call of the Play, 1982 Cal/Stanford
Jack Buck's call of Kirk Gibson's walk-off World Series homerun
Or some other call I neglected to mention

For football, it's the Music City Miracle call. I've never been a Titans fan, but I love the announcer saying, after Dyson gets the ball, "He's got something. He's got something, he's got it!" I remember watching the game and being absolutely stunned when that happened.
For any sport, I'd still have to go with Al Michaels' call of the US upset of Russia in Lake Placid. I'm Canadian, but I can tell you that all of us up here were going crazy along with everyone else, and we still get chills at hearing that call. Regardless of nationality, that was just a great sports moment - coming as it did during the Cold War, and with a bunch of kids pulling a huge upset - and Michaels caught it perfectly.

That famous football call from the 40's where the runner broke free and the announcer said, " He's at the 50, He's at the 40, he's at the 30, look at that sonuvabitch run!"

Mine's either got to be Starkey's call off the play ("The band is on the field!"), or Howard Cosell's call of "Down goes Frazier!"
