Amazing week!
My dad took me to the team hotel every day after work for a week to get autographs, I still have that football!

I can still hear Al Michaels: "Sanders beats Haynes. Sanders out in front. 80 Yards, TOUCHDOWN!"

Last year the NFL network re ran all the SB's just as they where played except for advertising which was current stuff. Watching the beging of that game I bet a bunch of Skins fans were shaking their heads as it looked like the romp was on. Knowing the out come you could see in the 1st quarter how we started making small strides and then things went crazy in the 2nd qrt. WOW, 356 yards in one qtr. where lucky to get that in a game now days.

Damn I feel old now.

That 2nd quarter was and still is the most amazing quarter of football in SB history. 35 points in one quarter is a record that might never fall.

I was only 9 years old at the time that game. And I still remember watching it vividly. Awesome stuff. I was in awe of Timmy Smith.

I was 19 & a fresh in college. I remember I had a bet w/a friend & he called me when we were down 10-0. I was worried, but in no time we were up 35-10 at half. Don't think I've ever seen that big of a turnaround in any other game.

my daughter was only a month old, and i can still remember my wife yelling at me for going nuts during the second quarter. ah, it doesnt seem like that long ago.

I had just turned 1 but sounds like it was one helluva game. I know I'm going to feel pretty old 20 years from now when I'm telling my kids (or grand kids) about how the Patriots lost Super Bowl XLII after going undefeated in the regular season...:cheeky-sm

This was actually the FIRST Super Bowl I ever watched. :)

I was only like 5 years old but I swear I remember bits and pieces of this game. I remember my mom going completely out of her mind during (I'm assuming) the second quarter and I remember getting really excited because everyone else was but I doubt I knew why.
I also vaguely remember going to the victory parade on Constitution Ave a few days later. There were so many people that I thought I was going to get trampled.
good times indeed.
