On ESPN they just flashed through highlights of what they called the 10 biggest sports blow outs of all time. It was slanted for the U.S. since it was the ESPN version shown here, so there were a couple of NFL football games in there. One of them was the Bears big lopsided win over New England in a past Super Bowl. Number 3 or 4 was the streak the young Mike Tyson had of knocking out 4 straight fighters in under 1 minute in each of the 4 fights.

2nd was (according to ESPN I guess, I don't think it was voted by fans) the 24 year old Tiger Woods' win in the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach by 15 strokes...the biggest winning margin ever in a major.

What do you think they said was the number 1 biggest blowout in a major sporting event? It wasn't in soccer, NFL football or baseball.

Dunno mate but if it was US-centric maybe basketball?

Not B-ball gonzo. It happened about 34 years ago. I won't drag it out...one more guess that's reasonable and the answer will be next.

"You are correct sir!" as Ed McMahon might say. According to ESPN the great racehorse Secretariat's :horse: win at Belmont in 1973 by 31 lengths was the biggest sports blowout in a major sporting event.

Here's a snapshot of the great horse just before the finish line...look how far back the others are Irish!

Secretariat had so big a lead he felt confident enough to even take a dump before the finish line! Is that the utimate "in your face" sports taunt of all time or what?!
