Any sport, I would probably choose Jordan over Byron Russell.

 

Football wise, I would have to be one of the Sanders boys, Deion or Barry. As far as a singular play, I dunno, say.....I was Shaun Taylor and my boss was Brian Moorman.

 

The play I probably would have had the most fun with would be Devin Hester at the Super Bowl, just this year. After two weeks of buildup, the game starts and BOOOMMMM!!!!! What a feeling that must have been as you get by the kicker to return the opening kickoff of the freakin' Super Bowl to the house.

Wonder how many of us will pick a moment from our favorite team's history?

 

 

Game: Peyton leading the Colts back from a 21-3 deficit against NE to win the '06 AFC Championship Game

 

Moment: Marlin Jackson's pick to seal it :D

Riggins on the run:

 

PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 30 — The Washington Redskins rode John Riggins' record-breaking 166 yards rushing today to their first National Football League championship in 40 years, finishing off this magical season by overpowering the Miami Dolphins, 27-17, in Super Bowl XVII.

 

Moving behind the Hogs, his surging offensive linemen, Riggins was magnificent, scoring the winning touchdown on a 43-yard run in the fourth quarter. Carrying a Super Bowl record 38 times, he disrupted Miami's No. 1-rated defense with his relentless runs, rallying the Redskins from a 17-10 halftime deficit to only their third NFL title in history.

 

No other back has ever run for 100 yards or more in four straight playoff games. No other back has gained more than 158 yards in a Super Bowl. And rarely has any back dominated a Super Bowl as Riggins did today.

 

"I'm very happy," Riggins said. "At least for tonight, Ron's the president, but I'm the king."

 

Joe Gibbs, who rebounded from an 0-5 start as a rookie head coach last year to become coach of the year this season, said he told his players at halftime that "this was the way it was supposed to be. If we were going to be world champions, we had to earn it by coming back."

 

..........

 

This is a team of 26 free agents, of 14 players who were never drafted, of role players and rejects. It is a team that was not even considered a playoff contender at the start of this strike-marred season. It is a team that entered this game as a three-point underdog. It is a team that emerged having won its final seven games and 15 of its last 16, figures unmatched.

 

And this is a team that won here doing what the Dolphins, the crowd of 103,667 — second-largest in Super Bowl history — and 100 million-plus television viewers knew they would do: run Riggins again and again.

 

But the Dolphins, whose defense relies more on quickness than strength, couldn’t cope with the Hogs. The Hogs’ surge was so steady and strong that often Riggins already had gained three or four yards before being touched by a Miami player.

 

Riggins ran like a man who may have played his last game, something he wouldn’t refute afterward.

 

"I can still walk away," said Riggins, the NFL’s seventh all-time rusher. "It’s still possible. I don’t have a time schedule. You guys know me, I’m like the wind. I change my mind every five minutes."

 

Riggins ran like the wind in the game. His 166 yards gave him 610 in four playoff games, an achievement unmatched in NFL history. Riggins, who gained 553 yards in eight regular season games, broke Franco Harris’ Super Bowl records, set in Super Bowl 1X, of 35 carries for 158 guards. Once Riggins became dominant, it made Theismann’s passing that much more effective. Theismann threw two interceptions, but he also completed 15 of 23 passes for 143 yards.and two touchdowns, a six yarder to 115 seconds left wrapping up the triumph and allowing the Redskins local fans to begin celebrating.

 

In addition, he prevented a Miami touchdown, knocking away a batted pass that had found its way into the hands of of the Dolphins Kim Bokamper the second half.

 

Riggins took the ball from Theismann and stared to his left. Cornerback Don McNeal, who had slipped trying to to follow the man in motion Clint Didier, came up fast to make the tackle at the 40. Riggins broke that and took off the sideline in from of the Dolphins bench. Glenn Blackwood couldn’t catch him.

 

It was longest touchdown run from scrimmage in Super Bowl history, and when Moseley kicked the point-after, the Redskins had a 20-17 lead. with 10:01 left.

 

That was the end for Miami.
