Everyone has their own personal favorites, but Dave Price is going to run down his list of some of the best Super Bowl moments in the history of “the greatest show on earth.” While these moments were glorious for some, they were agonizing for others. Well, enough lead in. Let’s just have a look.

Broadway Joe’s Guarantee

If this one isn’t on the top of your best Super Bowl moments list, you must have grown up a Baltimore Colts fan. When Broadway Joe guaranteed victory in Super Bowl III, he made the stage to the world’s biggest sports championship even better. I believe the best moment of the whole thing was when Joe jogged off the field with his finger waving in the air to show everyone who was number one.

Wide Right

This next one is the worst moment in Buffalo Bills history, which inevitably makes it one of the best in New York Giants history books. Buffalo had the game wrapped up. All Scott Norwood had to do was put the ball through the upright. The kick sailed wide to the right and the New York Giants captured their second Super Bowl title in franchise history. Buffalo would return three more consecutive times only to be denied in each.

Favre to Rison

If you’re a Packers fan, you’re likely still holding your head in your hands and wondering what happened against the Giants, but maybe this little play will cheer you up. In Super Bowl XXXI, Favre hit Andre Rison on the second play from scrimmage on a 54-yard touchdown pass down the sideline. I don’t know what was better, the pass or Favre’s enthusiastic reaction. The thing that makes this one so great is that it was a big play right out of the gates.

The Hammer

While backing up words makes for our top moment in the history of the Super Bowl, eating words makes for this one. Chiefs defensive back Fred “The Hammer” Williamson told the media that he had two hammers, one for Boyd Dowler and one for Carroll Dale. However, it ended up being a hit by running back Donnie Anderson that knocked The Hammer out of the game.

Jermaine Lewis Answers

This play comes from the lesser publicized Super Bowl XXXV between the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens. The Giants’ Ron Dixon took a kickoff 97 yards to paydirt to pull the Giants with 10 points. Then, the Ravens’ Jermaine Lewis answers with an 84-yard kickoff return of his own to squash the Giants’ momentum.

Jimmy Mac

This next one takes our lists to new heights and by heights I’m talking all the way to the moon. Prior to Super Bowl XX, Bears QB Jim McMahon sets a creative standard for Pre-game escapades by mooning a TV helicopter. Way to go Jim.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed a little stroll down Super Bowl memory lane. Get ready for more great Super Bowl moments in the upcoming contests between the Patriots and Giants.
