It’s a shame that this Super Bowl is largely remembered for the first “wardrobe malfunction” on major television. This was actually one of the more exciting finishes to a Super Bowl of the era. Yet in our pop culture starved society, 20 years from now, people won’t even remember the near fourth quarter heroics of some guy named Jake Delhomme, but they’ll remember JT flashing that Janet Jackson boob.
Countdown to Super Bowl 50: Belichick’s empire is born
Super Bowl XXXVI. It’s probably the least favorite Super Bowl in the modern day era. Why you ask? Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots made their mark and Adam Vinatieri booted their way to their first Super Bowl victory… and one of the most loathed dynasties in sports history was born.
New York Yankees quick hits: Nova, Top 100 and A-Rod
It’s so close you can smell the spring air. Pitchers and catchers report in just a few short weeks and all will be right in the world. There are still few loose ends as the Yanks get ready to head to Tampa, but they are doing the best to wrap it all up.
Countdown to Super Bowl 50: The Greatest Show on Turf
It was the most unsuspecting season I can remember. The St. Louis Rams behind one of the greatest offensive arsenals in the history of the game, marched their way from a decade of mediocrity to Super Bowl Champion from the opening kickoff of that 1999 season. And it was all on the arm of a grocery bagger.
Countdown to Super Bowl 50: A pirates life for me
What’s it like to root for a team that no one ever expects to win? An even better question is what is it like to root for that team on the day that they finally win? Wayniac Nation regular Mike Dunton has been a die hard Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan for quite some time. That January 26th night in 2003, Dunton was got his wish, as his Bucs hoisted the trophy.
Take a walk down Super Bowl Lane as Dunton recollects his greatest football moment.
Countdown to Super Bowl 50: The San Francisco 49ers are forever Young
As we continue to inch closer to Super Bowl 50, today we take a look back at one of the worst Super Bowls of my lifetime. It’s hard to pinpoint which Super Bowl mismatch was the worst, because in the late 80s and half of the 90s, the Super Bowl was one of the worst games of the year.
The Super Bowls from 1984 to 1995 were often lopsided. They were won by an average of 19 points a contest, with four of the games being won by 25 points or more. And these were supposed to be a matchup of the NFL’s two best teams mind you.
The 1995 Super Bowl, unless you were a San Francisco 49ers fan, was the pits.
Who has the best rotation in the MLB?
That’s a great question isn’t it? Ted Berg of USA Today Sports named the Cubs the best rotation heading into the 2016 MLB season. It’s definitely not out of the question, but I’m not sure that I agree with it.
Countdown to Super Bowl 50: Elway downs the Dirty Birds
I am excited to share this piece today, Wayniacs. Most of you recognize Nomi the Greek from The Thread’s annual Super Bowl prediction special. Today, he makes his debut with his first piece for Wayniac Nation.
You may also recognize Nomi the Greek as one of the only Falcon fans from start to finish of every home game, and the many TV appearances he’s made while he traveled to away games. I have yet to meet a bigger Falcons fan (with Saucy T 1B to Nomi’s 1A), and that’s why I thought it was perfect that he share our next Super Bowl memory.
So sit back and relive Super Bowl XXXIII through the eyes of an Atlanta Falcons Super Fan.
The Law Dog’s Ten Most Unbreakable Records in Sports
The Law Dog returns with his latest in Top Ten list. On the heels of Tom Brady’s record setting AFC Championship, he ponders what other records may never be touched. Sit back, enjoy and make sure you sound off he left some thing off the list.
Countdown to Super Bowl 50: Simms leads Big Blue Wrecking Crew
As we continue our walk down memory lane, we arrive at Super Bowl XXI. I remember this one vividly. You see, my mother is a huge New York Giants fan. My Houston Texans weren’t even a blip on the radar 30 years ago, so I grew up watching the New York Giants.
That 1986 squad is one of my favorite teams ever assembled in any sport despite my general dislike for the franchise in general (which would begin a few years later when they replaced Simms with Hos and Parcells with Ray Handley). I watched every single game that season, aside from one: their Week 11 bout with the Minnesota Vikings. That week, my family had to go to a small stage production of The Manhattan Project in which my Uncle Jay was acting. My 11-year old self did what every growing NFL fan would do.
I snuck a transistor radio in my pocket, wired the headphones through my shirt and listened to the entirety of that 22-20 Giants victory.
I told you, I remember that season vividly. That’s why Super Bowl XXI is chock full of memories, even to the non-Giants fan.
