Sports Of 2000 Broadcast

Thanks,____ . With the turn into the new millennium came countless legendary sports headlines. No time to waste! Let’s get right into it and see how many you remember…

(Sports intro)

Here are just a few of the top sports headlines you missed in the year 2000…

After both going 13-3 in the regular season and getting through the playoffs virtually unscathed, the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans started off the millennium with a bang in Super Bowl XXIV (34). After a defensively intense 1^st half, the Rams were holding on to a slim 9-0 lead over Steve McNair and the Titans. Things were taken up a notch in the second half: After a quick touchdown reception by Rams wideout Torry Holt to put St. Louis up 16, Titans Running back Eddie George made things interesting with 2 rushing touchdowns to put the score at 16-13 with just minutes left in the 4^th. After a late Titans FG to tie the game up, Rams QB Kurt Warner sent a 73-yard bomb out to Isaac Bruce to put the Rams back on top. With one last desperation drive, the Titans made their final stand on the Rams’ 10 yard line. After dishing the ball to Eddie George, the powerful Ram D stopped George’s run at the 1 yard line – literally inches from the goal line. The rams ended up taking the game, with a young Kurt Warner taking the MVP Title.

The dynasty of the NBA that is the Los Angeles Lakers got its jump start in the Year 2000, taking its first of several NBA titles in this decade against the Indiana Pacers. NBA Hall of famer and Lakers General Manager Jerry West wasted little time improving his squad after losing to the San Antonio Spurs in 1999, but surrounding the dynamic duo of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neill with the experience of Ron Harper, Glen Rice and the legendary coach: Phil Jackson. With so much talent on one team, it was almost unfair to the Pacers as basketball fans watched the Lakers stomp the Pacers in 6 games. The 7’1 monster Shaquille O’Neill won the MVP
