Although suggestions for revitalizing the Winter Olympics abound (our personal favorite is moving it to this exotic locale) we believe 3-D technology could single-handedly revamp the Winter Games. Interestingly enough, the Slovenian suffered only a mild concussion from his infamous fall, whereas we might very well sustain more serious injuries just witnessing the scene in 3-D.Īlso consider: Winter Olympics. He's featured in the show's opening credits, in which he completely bites the dust, tumbles down the entire hill and then violently careens into a retaining fence. Long before the days of the Winter X Games, sports fans enjoyed catching up with ABC's "Wide World of Sports." Imagine his parachute wrapping around the top of your own TV. Originally billed as "The Sound and the Fury," this 1997 fight would be remembered as the "Ear Biting Brawl." Not since the days of "Jaws 3-D" would one witness a scarier set of chompers coming right at you.Īlso consider: Fan Man drops out of nowhere during the 1993 Holyfield-Riddick Bowe bout.

Just before going down, Rodgers somehow flips it to Ford, who blindly throws a lateral over his shoulder as he falls forward to an oncoming Moen. Rodgers pitches it to Garner, who dodges more tacklers before pitching it back to Rodgers. Moen receives the kick, and, scrambling, he laterals it to Rodgers. This technology would make it seem as if you were on the field dodging Stanford band members from the comforts of your own living room. Let's suppose the now-ubiquitous Cyclops camera seen on football broadcasts everywhere was equipped with one of these modern 3-D lenses and was hooked up and hovering over Cal's Memorial Stadium that fateful Nov. Imagine you could watch - scratch that, you could RELIVE - that play from a first-person perspective. You don't have to be a Stanford Tree or Cal Bear to get goose bumps while watching what became known simply as The Play.
