This week a writer from Seattle is listing what he feels are the greatest sports moments in the series history. I think he might have a little too much time on his hands, but this does recall lots of great stuff from the series. And besides, there have been so many sports moments on the show already.

i bet he'll put the end of "Homer at the Bat" as his top, wouldn't you think?

READ-ALONG NERDLY NIT-PICK REPLY:

100. Poochy's one and only appearance on the I&S show? WRONG! He was in the cloning one and probably at least one other one.

94. You can't say "boobies" on ESPN.com? How do they survive?

Oh, it's just the first few. Okay.

As a Mets fan, #75 is still one of my favorites.

#79 hints that #10 will be Homer being awarded the Denver Broncos for his work at GLOBEX.

number 82 is my fav!

"De-fense! De-fense!" Homer's dimwittedness is reversed when a crayon is removed from his nose. But the pressure of being smart is too much, and he asks Moe to make him dumb again. A couple whacks with a mallet and the crayon is back up the nose, causing Homer to shout "De-fense! De-fense!"

• Moe: Eh, that's pretty dumb. But, uh ... (taps once more)
  
  Homer: Extended warranty? How can I lose?
  
  Moe: Perfect.

#85: The "Reds" Lil' Vicki is referring to are the kind from Russia, not the kind from Cincinatti. (Coincidentially, the Cincinatti Reds did change their name to the "Redlegs" during the '50s to avoid the Commie connotation.)

#56: Eating's a sport, I guess.

I'll refrain from stating the obvious.

All right, I can't resist. So, would that mean the Ny Mets are your favorite squadron?

Oh, I get it. They're all supposed to be sports-related! That's stupid.
