My Sports List
I decided I wanted to make a list of things I wanted to do before I die...in the sports world. I would love to hear what you guys want to see or do so please leave a comment! My list may be added to depending if anyone else brings up something I wanted to do, but forgot! NHL Related 1) Attend the Stanley Cup Finals ganes (w/ the Wings in it) 2) Attend the Wings playoff games at the Joe 3) Obtain Wings season tickets 4) Meet Steve Yzerman (at an autograph signing would be just fine) 5) Visit Hockey Hall of Fame 6) Go on a road trip following the Wings, much like JJ's Canucks trip 7) Touch the Stanley Cup 8) Catch a puck during a Wings game 9) Go to the Winter Olympics and watch the Ice Hockey gold medal game 10) Attend the NHL All-Star Game Other 1) Go watch the Tour de France (I have religiously watched the Tour de France for the past 4 years during the summer. Even though Lance Armstrong, my second favorite athlete behind only Yzerman, will no longer be racing - it still is an exciting sport and I'd love to check out France anyways.) 2) Rose Bowl (w/ University of Michigan in the game) 3) Attend a Pistons playoff game 4) Attend a Lions' playoff game (if they ever make one) 5) Attend the Super Bowl 6) Go to the Summer Olympics and watch the 100m dash and 4x100m relay (I ran varsity track in high school before my knee got really bad and those were my events. Plus, I love watching track and field - just wish it was on TV a little more).

This is a rather ominous post; there isn't something you're not telling us is there?! I wasn't planning on making my "things to do before I die list" until I was 90 (OK, maybe 80).
Reading your list makes me realize that although I have a lot of room for improvement in my life, I've been very fortunate to have been able to check off many items that would be on my corresponding sports list. I've been to Stanley Cup Finals games (2002), I've touched the Cup (and will have another opportunity to do so tomorrow), I've been to NFL playoff games, NBA playoff games, among other things. I sort of take it for granted, but I should consider myself lucky.
All I want before I die is for the Hurricanes to win the Cup.
I've seen the Dodgers win two World Series. I've seen the Lakers win nine NBA titles. I've seen the Redskins win three Super Bowls, and Italy's won the World Cup--and I would trade every last one of those moments to see the Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup.
Some great stuff on there.
The Hockey Hall of Fame is actually pretty lame, though. The only redeeming part of it is the trophy room which is pretty awesome -- in the true sense of the word. To see the original, old, beat-up Stanley Cup is something else.
Very interesting list you have there.
I highly recommend seeing The Tour De France live. The pride the French show for this competition is phenomenal.
I remember the day after Fabio Casartelli tragically lost his life in the 1995 Tour. France stood still for fifteen minutes as a sign of respect for Fabio.
I also remember the shame and embarrasement of the tragedy being discussed everywhere. Everybody had an opinion.
I will always remember standing near The Champs-Élysées for the final stage when Miguel Induráin made his way to the finish-line.
I would definitely recommend going there. The city of Paris is beautiful.
Bergman - you are making me want to go to see the Tour de France even more!
To the rest of you, thanks for the comments!
Of course the dream of all the people in the world except Usa guys, is to assit to the Final Of The World Cup Of Soccer that will be played this year in Germany.
