One of the good things about the weeks before the Super Bowl is that ESPN replays all the Super Bowls past. It is a great way to escape the hype. Except for some of the blowout games, they are fun to watch.
For those of us that can actually remember most of the Super Bowls, it can bring back some good memories. And for some of us, Broncos and Vikings fans, there are some bad memories, too. At least the Vikings competed in a couple of their 4 losses.
To this day I still marvel at the catches Lynn Swann made. And that tipped, diving, floating on air catch he made against Dallas stands out as the greates reception in Super Bowl history. And, of course, Elway's magical dive and spin against the Packers that signaled the end of Bronco frustration is also a magical moment.
It's fun to watch 'em, I just hope to see one or two of those plays in this Super Bowl. The only time it is fun to watch a blowout in the Super Bowl is when you truly hate the team getting blown out. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Tampa Bay Bucs stomp the crap out of the Raiders. I reveled in the agony and pain on the faces of the evil Raider players!
I don't think we will see a very close game next Sunday, but you never know. That's the great thing about football, anything can happen.
