Discuss your Super Bowl Memories...

I'm sorry, but Neil O'Donnell.

And just going, "What the F*CK are you thinking?!?!"

And then, "AGAIN!?!?! HOW MUCH DID YOU GET TO THROW THE BOWL NEIL?!?!"

 

I said the exact same thing the second time. I'm still sort of convinced he threw the game.

His fuckups were too obvious. I thought the same at the time, as still do.

Why don't you start the thread Mike?

 

One moment that really sticks out is when Tim Krumie of the Bengals broke his leg on like the first play of the game.

 

The Super Bowl shuffle.

I was thinking about it, but with 2 superbowl threads already in plain sight, I figured I could just include this topic within one of the two threads.

Dan Ross in the 82 Super Bowl caught 11 passes and 2 TD's for the Bengals. Tied with Jerry Rice for the most in one game.

Desmond How...*GAK*....sorry, just threw up in my mouth there, Desmond Howard won the MVP based on his special teams play and I remember he never really did much after that.

My Super Bowl memories are usually...those commercials really weren't worth my 4 hours spent, when I can see the good ones replayed the next morning.

 

Of course, I've never learned my lesson and I keep doing the same damn thing.

I made a list ranking every Super Bowl I remember seeing last year on the board so I'll just C&P it. With last year's game I'd probably slot it at #2. My personal #1 will never be knocked off.

I'm Bored so I might as well rank the Super Bowls that I have memories of watching which would go back to Super Bowl XX as basically all my sport memories begin in 1986 for whatever reason. This is totally off the top of my head and totally subjective and should not be read by anyone.

 

1. XXXIII - 49ers 20, Bengals 16. I'm biased, so sue me. Only game to have a winning touchdown in the final minute.

 

2. XXXII - Denver 31, Green Bay 24. Probably a better game than the above but loses points for Holmgren having the Packers not attempt to stop Terrell Davis for the eventual winning touchdown to save time.

 

3. XXXIV - St. Louis 23, Tennessee 16. Okay the game wasn't that great the first three quarters but it was probably the best 4th quarter of any Super Bowl and tough to beat the last play of the game for a heart stopping moment.

 

4. XXXVI - New England 20, St. Louis 17. No explanation really needed here, I just rank it below the other three as I barely remember the rest of the game outside the game winning field goal.

 

5. XXV - N.Y. Giants 20, Buffalo 19. You'd get a lot of people to argue this is the greatest Super Bowl ever *cough* New Yorkers *cough* but I've never felt the love everyone gives this game as it was just the Giants basically boring the Bills into defeat and the Bills still almost won. Okay unfair comment and I hated the Giants at the time for ending the 49ers shot at three straight but hey its my list!

 

6. XXX - Dallas 27, Pittsburgh 17. Yikes pretty big drop off after that five as most every other Super Bowl in the last 18 years has been fairly forgettable. This game was super competitive though and the Steelers outplayed the Cowboys but Neil O'Donnell fell in love with Larry Brown.

 

7. XXVIII - Dallas 30, Buffalo 13. Yup its getting ugly. I don't know I guess I rank this above the other blow outs for the Bills shockingly leading at the half before the Cowboys blew them out.

 

8. XXI - N.Y. Giants 39, Denver 20. It was competitive for about a quarter and sorta entertaining.

 

9. XXXI - Green Bay 35, New Englad 21. Seriously at this point its totally arbitrary. All I remember about this was Reggie White saying God chose the Packers to win or something but he said that a lot.

 

10. XXVI - Washington 37, Buffalo 24. Um...well at least In Living Color was on at halftime.

 

11. XXIV - San Francisco 55, Denver 10. Ya ya this should be at the bottom but WEST COAST BIAS! At least it has some historical significance and I looooooove pointing this game out to anyone who says John Elway was better than Joe Montana.

 

12. XXXIII - Denver 34, Atlanta 19. Total nothing game and made people start calling John Elway the greatest qb of all-time and NO ONE needs that.

 

13. XXII - Washington 42, Denver 10. Denver dominated for a quarter and Washington has the best quarter ever in the 2nd. Of course 2nd half ended up being completely irrelevent.

 

14. XXXVII - Tampa Bay 48, Oakland 21. Hey seeing the Raiders getting destroyed can't be half bad.

 

15. XX - Chicago 46, New England 10. First Super Bowl I ever watched and maybe my earliest sports related memory. I remember my brother and I were rooting for the Patriots. Yeesh.

 

16. XXIX - San Francisco 49, San Diego 26. Well okay even I can't justify ranking this very high. This game was even more of a sure thing going in than the Denver blow out. They should have just given the 49ers the trophy before the game.

 

17. XXVII - Dallas 52, Buffalo 17. God I hated the Cowboys and this just sucked to watch. I didn't even see the infamous Leon Lett play as I'd stop watching soon before that.

 

18. XXXV - Baltimore 34, N.Y. Giants 7. Total nothing game as parity brought the least desirable match-up in Super Bowl history, even more than this year's game. Just didn't give a flying fuck about it.

 

There ya go.
