At the most dramatic moments in sports, you can bet someone will dust off the old cliche: “You could not write a script like this.” They said it when Derek Jeter hit a walk-off single in his final Yankee Stadium at-bat. They said it when Auburn’s Chris Davis returned a missed field goal 109 yards to beat Alabama. And they said it when Kerry Strug stuck the landing on a busted ankle to win her country a gold.

But sometimes, the great moments clearly could be scripted. Because they basically already were.
