Did you know today is the 40th anniversary of SportsCenter? Are there any lasting sports memories for you over the last 40 years?

Question

Chris Berman did a great Top 10 of best moments in SportsCenter history in memory of their 40th anniversary.

SportsCenter debuted September 7th 1979. A few of the sports anchors are Jack Edwards, Linda Cohn, Bob Ley, Dan Patrick, Stuart Scott and Keith Oberman. Who are your favorite sports anchors on SportsCenter. I like Neil Everett and Scott Van Pelt. Neil Everett says cool is the rule a lot.

Which memories do you have of sports over the last 40 years? Good or both? Also, the 1980 Miracle on Ice was ranked number 1 as the Americans beat the Russians in the semifinals round, then went on to be Finland in the finals.

Please share your best memories. Thanks!

Wow. I remember skipping school and watching Olbermann and Patrick in like '93 on a cable connection that was borrowed by a 3 way splitter. Didn't last long.

Stuart Scott announcing MJ's retirement from the Bulls a second time sticks out in my mind.
I miss Stu Scott.

Both teams already won this century.

Last title for each Chicago team:

Bears 1985
Bulls 1998
White Sox 2005
Blackhawks 2015
Cubs 2016

Not sure about the Chicago Fire. When have they last one it, if at all?

I'm an Atlanta sports fan. The Braves are my favorite of them.

I don't think I've ever watched sportscenter. It might have been slipped in at a restaurant or something but I’ve never seen it intentionally.

The 1985 Bears including the Super Bowl title went 18-1 but the Dolphins kept them un-perfect. Relishing in that, eh?
