If you want to see a Buffalo sports fan go into an immediate bout of hysterics, just whisper one of the following pairs of words into his or her ear: "Wide right", "Homerun Throwback", or "No goal".

I mention this because two of these three items ("Homerun Throwback" and "No goal") are mentioned in ESPN's survey of the Most Controversial Plays in sports history. It's interesting how plays like this can still arouse controversy and, in such cases as the "Oh, give the Russians another three seconds" Olympic basketball snafu in 1972, anger.
