Amidst all the hoopla surrounding next weekend's Super Bowl, I think it's a great time to reflect on our own Super Bowl history here in New York.
Yesterday was the 20th Anniversary of Super Bowl XXV, in which the New York Giants defeated the Buffalo Bills by a score of 20-19. I distinctly remember watching this game because it's my very first memory of seeing pro football. My dad and I ordered a pizza and watched the game, start to finish, just the two of us. No girls allowed!
But getting back to the game itself, this remains the only Super Bowl ever decided by one point. Scott Norwood blew it wide-right and thus began a string a four straight Super Bowl losses for the Bills. Norwood's big miss also inspired the plot of Ace Ventura, in the form of a soccer-style kicker named Ray Finkle. Hopefully Frank Reich remembered to keep the laces out...
Anyway, since the Giants missed the playoffs and because Jets fans are surely still reeling from their second consecutive loss in the AFC Championship Game (but who's counting?), here's a chance to relive the sweet, sweet feeling of Super Bowl victory:
