Yeah, I was 10 and unfortunately I wasn't into football nearly as much as I am now so I didn't really appreciate it; again, I was 10 years old.
But, I did go to Art Monk's football camp at Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College) the summers before and after this season so I got to meet a bunch of these guys and that will stick with me forever. Actually I've mentioned it here before but my UserID comes from a warm up drill we had to do at the start of every practice session.
Now that is very cool.

That year was the greatest Redskins team ever. But for Gibbs benching most of the starters in the 2nd half of the last regular season game, the Skins D would have yielded the fewest points while the O scored the most. That has been done very few times in league history.

I wonder if anyone has asked Charles Mann which SB team he thought was better, the 1991 Washington Redskins or the 1994 San Francisco 49ers since he won super bowls with both. I'm curious to know.

He made a comment on the show as he was talking about his ring. He said the ring makes him think of a QB...Mark Rypien, who had overcome a lot and carried the team. He then said it makes him think of the best team to ever win a Super Bowl.
Sure it was on a show about the Redskins, so he'll show bias on that episode, but I remember watching that team...they were unstoppable. They embarrassed the Lions (NFC championship that year) 45-0 in Week 2 , the Falcons (NFC Divisional playoff opponent) 56-17 during the season. They came back from down 11 against Aikman/Smith/Irvin's Cowboys to win 33-31, they had so many blowouts and shutouts and dominated on both sides of the ball.
They were amazing that season and nearly went undefeated. I was only in 7th grade but I remember it all so clearly because it was so exciting to watch.

I was three when we won the last Super Bowl. I'm just stuck with a couple playoff wins and off season champs titles.

Yes, I talked to him about it. The man is very proud of the win with the 49ers, but he is a Redskin through and through.
Don't forget, he won 2 with the Redskins and one with the 49ers. First time I did a signing with him, I asked him to write the inscription 2x Super Bowl Champ on some jerseys. He pointed out to me he won 3. He did write the 2x since it was on Redskins jerseys.

Yeah I was four, so I don't remember anything beside the win against Detroit and Tampa Bay.
I vividly remember the remorse after the lost to TB the year we beat the Lions.

I know he won 2 SB with the skins, but would really like to know if he thought the Skins or the 49ers were the better team. Both teams were great, the 49ers had Deion, Ricky Jackson, Mann, Rice, young etc. I would say the skins were the better team.

I'm feeling old. '91 was my first year in college. Definitely a very memorable year for a lot of reasons.
I was 27 when they won the SB. My dad won tickets to the regular season game when we blew out the falcons. I drove 13 hours coming home from Disney World (my oldest daughter was 6 at the time) and I dropped her off at my parents and went to my best friends bachelor party. Stayed up until 3am and had to be on a bus to DC at 6am and I don't even know why I went to bed. We went out in old Alexandria that night and got home around 2am and had to catch the bus to the game at around 10:30. Went to the game and started drinking again and me and my dad had a blast. I did slap high five to Garry Clark after on of his TDs and it seemed they all took place in our end zone.

After a night like that and then blending the night to game day ( which i did in 2005 when we played the Chargers and LT postered Ryan Clark to score in ot ) I am sure it seemed as though that everything took place where you were! At least you got to watch them win, I did get go to the Giants Christmas Eve game the same year and saw Santana light them up the whole game. He scored twice in front of me that game. One of his best as a Skin ( other than the Dallas Monday Night Thriller the same year ). But blending late nights into game day is AWESOME! http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon10.gifhttp://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon14.gif
