Porter was about 25 yards from the end zone when I realized that the once sorriest franchise in sports had finally won a Superbowl. Legitimately thought the Cubs or Clippers would win a championship first.

in the span of a decade, the Buccaneers and Saints won Super Bowls and the Cardinals came incredibly close to joining them. also, the Tampa Bay Rays won a pennant. strange times.

MOV would have been closer if Reggie Wayne didn’t drop that pass in the end zone on 4th down with about 50 seconds left.

I.e. the greatest play in the history of sports.

2010 Superbowl.

Saints down 10 early. Surprise on-side kick at halftime. One point game starting the 4th quarter. Colts miss 51 yard FG. Saints score and then a replay challenge on the 2 pt. conversion (incomplete pass call overturned). Tracy Porter 74 yard pick six to seal the game.

This was a great game and a case of MOV (14 pts in this case) not necessarily being indicative of the quality of the game.

funny, that crossed my mind as i was typing that comment

/i’m going out of my mind!!

Your buddy was Mel Gibson in Signs?

I just ran a regression on SB margin of victories over time. Does seem to be dropping (-.15 slope) though with a very weak R^2 value.

Admittedly it’s an arbitrary starting point, but if you just do the last 30 years (starting with WAS/LA) the correlation is stronger. The 80′s-early 90′s were probably the worst period for SB competitiveness with a couple outliers (SF-CIN II and NYG-BUF).

I still can’t believe Kasay kicked it out of bounds.

I was living in Charlotte at the time. We had a buncha friends over to watch it, and we all got toasted. The party was just stunned when he kicked it OB.

the fitz catch and run was fucking electrifying

somewhere in between that and cunterrible

I remember hating the Tampa-Oakland SB, as well as the Indy-Chicago SB.

the Hester KR and Prince at halftime were awesome. everything else, not so much.

Alvin Harper is my favorite example. He fell completely off the face of the earth when he went to Tampa.

how bout the tampa CB with the mvp trophy for 2 INTs, who went to dallas?

/may have all or most of those facts wrong

sorry if it’s been typed….santonio’s feet in bounds

Nothing exciting on line/margin trends.

I’ve seen every SuperBowl since Dolphins Redskins. I now feel old.

But which Dolphins-Redskins? Mike Bass with the pick six on a FG attempt or Riggo 70 Chip?

/older?

The others from that era I probably quit watching by halftime.

The Chargers tried their best…think the line for that one was 18, can’t imagine a Super Bowl hitting that today
