There are too many awesome ones to pick just one.

Can I write-in Mike Alstott's being forced to retire due to injury as my favorite moment of his?

Joey

To Curricane;

You're sick.

PrimeTime

That goal line one against Minnesota in '97 is still the best.

howard buhner

when mike ran with the ball you were always in awe!he ran with pride!!!!

Frank Stewart

Anytime # 40 the class act Mr. Mike Alstott touched the football would have to be my favorite play. Thanks for the memories #40 that we will always have!!!!

Jeff

My favorite is the class he showed on and off the field. Not enough of that in sports.

larry d

The 1997 goal line TD against the Vikings was definitly the best!

Jason B

What about his 18-ish yard run against the Saints (i think it was 2002) in which he bounced off of 8 defenders before going down? That run was the epitome of Alstott, and how I will remember him.

Jason B

Actually, it was 2001.

James

I have to admit though I seem to look at football somewhat cynical, this one hurts.. I love Mikey and the A-Train will always be hand in hand with Derrick Brooks as my all time favorite players... the workman like attitude and breadth of character he showed made him a truly remarkable man. I hope the best for him and his family and thank God he wasn't seriously injured...I would also like to say thanks to him for some of the most memorable football plays I have ever seen and I would echo the sentiment that there are just too many plays to pick just one...Thanks Mikey I hope they retire your jersey...

CF

Curricane,only someone with no class would bash someone with so much.

JJ Rodriguez

I don't remember the exact date (likely around 2000, 2001) but it was a home game against the Packers and he got a hand-off, busted through the line and was one-on-one against a safety or corner, and totally juked the defender out of his socks and went into the endzone un-touched...all-time favorite run of his.

Joe

Anytime Mike got the ball it was a great play. He was the only thing us Buc's fans could count on. We couldn't count on coaches, quaterbacks, or owners. But we could alway's count on the train being on time. This is one train we will miss. Best of Luck Mike

Phil

One not mentioned, I believe it was a Monday Night game against Baltimore the year after they won the Super Bowl. Alstott broke free and a defensive back tried to tackle him but Alstott just bowled him over like a blocking dummy and scored a TD.

The 2pt conversion was probably one of the most exciting plays I've ever seen live.

donna

to mike: my mother-in-law lives across the way from you we have great pics of your house you might enjoy. where can we send them.
