Great Super Bowl Memories Off the field and after the Whistle

10. Andy Williams singing " It's a Super Night at the Super Bowl" on a SB variety show the night before SB XI ( Raiders - Vikes);

9. Duane Thomas waiting a full 30 seconds and responding "evidently" to Tom Brookshier's question during a live post game interview after SB VI ( Cowboys - Dolphins )

8. The giant motorized Packer and Raider that spewed smoke out of their mouths, rolling onto the field before SB II;

7. Fred "the Hammer" Williamson proclaiming that he would drop the hammer on the Pack before SB I (Packers - Chiefs) and then getting knocked out cold in the game by Gale Gillingham;

6. The Bears recording of the "Super Bowl Shuffle" before SB XX (Bears - Patriots);

5. Thurman Thomas losing his helmet during SB XXVI (Bills - Redskins);

4. Duane Thomas'immortal quote before either SB V or SB VI "if it's the ultimate game, then why do they play it again next year?"

3. Joe Montana in the huddle during the winning drive in SB XXIII(49ers - Bengals), seeing John Candy in the stands and telling his teammates about it; a few minutes before throwing the winning TD pass to John Taylor;

2. Joe Namath's guarantee before SB III (Jets - Colts); incidentally I heard a story today on an SB preview show that if the Jets had not won that day the AFL owners were prepared to cancel any future SBs until the AFL could become competitive;

1. Jack Lamber throwing Little Cliffy Harris on his ass after Harris patted Roy Gerela on the hlemet following a missed field goal in SB X ( Steelers - Cowboys) Mr. Cheap Shot got up and ran off the field like a scared little girl.
