That’s right, it’s that time of year once again. And as Hank Williams Jr. would ask, “Are you ready for some football?” Here at Listverse we are, and so we present the Top Ten Most Memorable NFL Moments. Just a few notes, before we begin:
- Moments such as “The Catch” are not included because they have previously be mentioned on lists. Check out this list for more. So please, no hate mail from 49ers fans.
- For those not accustomed to American football, here are some pointers to understand the lingo. In football you are given 4 downs, or plays, in order to gain ten yards and pick up a new set of downs. So on a first down, you are at 1st and 10. If you pick up two yards on the play it is a 2nd and 8. If 8 or more yards are gained on that play, it is now another 1st and 10. If the offense does not pick up a first down, the ball is turned over, or the offense can decide on 4th down they would rather punt the ball away to put the opposing team further down the field.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ season was coming to an abrupt halt. It was the final quarter of a divisional playoff game and they were losing to the Green Bay Packers by 3 points. They had just over a minute left in the game and a fresh set of downs, when Donovan McNabb threw an incomplete pass. The Eagles were penalized for a false start for 5 yards before 2nd down. Once they started the play McNabb was sacked for a loss of 11 yards. Facing a 3rd down and 26 yards to go for a first, McNabb threw another incomplete pass. So in very real terms, the Eagles had to pick up 26 yards in one play, or else their season was over. The Packers were ready to celebrate, since they were now all but promised a berth in the NFC Championship game. But it was not to be for the Packers. A perfect throw by McNabb and a catch by Freddie Mitchell, led to a 28 yard gain, and the Eagles’ season wasn’t over yet. David Akers came onto kick the field goal, and then another in overtime to win the game.
With the clock running down in the 4th quarter of a game against their biggest rivals, most teams would simply kneel the ball, to tick off those last few seconds and end the game without any risk. But the New York Giants, facing the Philadelphia Eagles, decided instead to attempt a run. Quarterback Joe Pisarcik handed off to Larry Csonka, who never had control. The ball fell to the ground, bounced once, and was scooped up by Eagle’s cornerback Herman Edwards who sprinted the 26 yards to win the game. The Miracle at the Meadowlands changed the season for both squads. The Eagles earned a playoff spot while the Giants finished last in their division. The play also changed the way teams all across the league handle those final seconds of a game. The final seconds of the game are above, note the commentator reading off the credits, assuming the game is over.
The one that started it all had to have a spot on this list. In 1966 the long established National Football League Champion was set to face the American Football League Champion in a matchup not even called the Super Bowl for another year. The Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs were not evenly matched, but the Chiefs managed to hold their own for the first half, entering halftime down only four points. In the 2nd half, Vince Lombardi’s Packers took over and crushed the champions of the rival league by a final score of 35-10. The game would set the stage for Super Bowls of the future, as well as assist in laying the groundwork for the future merger.
In a wild card playoff game in 2000, the Tennessee Titans were on the verge of defeat by the Buffalo Bills. The Bills held a 1 point lead with only 16 seconds remaining. A kickoff was fielded by the Titans’ Lorenzo Neal. Neal handed the ball to Frank Wycheck, who then turned and threw a lateral pass across field to Kevin Dyson who ran the next 75 yards for a touchdown and the win in one of the most exciting plays in NFL history.
A kicker in the NFL has a simple job, but one that also be magnified more than any other. With eight seconds remaining in Super Bowl XXV, the Buffalo Bills were trailing the New York Giants 20-19, when they called in veteran kicker and team leader in points scored, Scott Norwood to make a 47-yard field goal to win the game. The snap and placement of the ball was perfect, Norwood couldn’t ask for better conditions to become a hero. His kick had the distance, but it sailed wide right. Time expired on the next play as the Giants ran out the clock and Norwood blew his chance for immortality.
Kevin Dyson came as close to winning a Super Bowl as physically possible, but unfortunately for the Titans, Dyson was on the wrong side of this moment. Super Bowl XXXIV pitted the Tennessee Titans vs. the St. Louis Rams. The Titans were trailing 23-16 and putting together an amazing drive with time running out. From the ten-yard line, the Titans were a touchdown away from forcing the Super Bowl into overtime. With six seconds remaining, quarterback Steve McNair dropped back into the pocket and threw to the right side where Kevin Dyson was streaking towards the end zone uncovered. At the last second, Rams’ linebacker Mike Jones pivots, dives, wraps up Dyson’s legs and brings him to the ground. Despite Dyson’s outstretched arm, he did not get into the end zone, and the St. Louis Rams were Super Bowl Champions by one yard. The championship winning tackle can be seen in the clip above.
The Miami Dolphins dominated the league from beginning to end in 1972, going 16-0 and winning the Super Bowl. They are the only undefeated team in NFL history. The Dolphins lost their quarterback Bob Griese in week 5, but Earl Morrall stepped into his spot. Super Bowl VII, played in Los Angles, pitted the Washington Redskins against the Dolphins. Somehow, the Redskins were the favorites to win the game, with gamblers giving them a 1 point advantage. The game was dominated by the Dolphins’ “No Name” defense, who only allowed Washington to cross the 50 once in the first half, helping the team to a 14-0 halftime lead. In the 4th quarter of the game, the Dolphins muffed a field goal and Washington returned it for a touchdown. Despite this, the Dolphins hung on and won the Super Bowl 14-7 and completed the first, and to date only, undefeated season in NFL history.
Voted by NFL Films as the Greatest Play in NFL History, this moment came from a divisional play off game between the Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers. Facing a 4th and 10 on their own 40 yard line and trailing the Raiders by a score of 7-6 with time running out, the Steelers lined up for a final attempt. Quarterback Terry Bradshaw was pressured by the defense, and threw to his running back. The pass was deflected and then caught, inches from the ground, by a rookie fullback, Franco Harris, who ran the ball all the way down the field for a touchdown to take the lead with five seconds remaining. The play was given the nickname Immaculate Reception by a Pittsburgh fan who called into a radio broadcaster the night of the game, playing off the Christian term “Immaculate Reception”. The play is usually cited by football historians as the greatest catch of all time.
After two blowout Super Bowls, no one considered the possibility that the AFL would be competitive with the NFL. Most commentators and even coaches thought it would be a few years at least until the leagues would be able to merge successfully. The AFL Champion New York Jets were considered a huge underdog against one of the greatest NFL teams of all time, the Baltimore Colts. In front of the press, Joe Namath was heckled by a fan, to which he responded, “We’re gonna win the game. I guarantee it.” Before the game it was a laughable statement, but after winning the MVP award in route to a 16-7 victory, Joe Namath was the only one laughing. This Super Bowl paved the way to a merger of the two leagues and legitimized the AFL, as well as leaving Joe Namath as one of the most entertaining characters on and off the football field.
Has any team in the NFL ever seemed as dominant as the 2007 Giants? They had five receivers that would be starters on any other team. Their point differential was +315 as they took their division by 9 games. Heading into the Super Bowl no one seriously gave the New York Giants a chance. They had been beaten by the Patriots a month ago and Bill Belichek and Tom Brady seemed ready to dominate and seal their places in history with a third title in four years, and only the second undefeated NFL season in history. With 2:39 left on the clock, the Giants were down by 4, and then “The Drive” began. Eli Manning led his team 83 yards on 12 plays climaxing with a spectacular move away from a sack and a breath-taking pass caught with fingertips by David Tyree and somehow secured against his helmet. Plaxico Burress caught a touchdown on a fade route moments later and sealed one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time.
@Maggot (87): Thanks for posting a video of The Catch, as well as the subsequent tackle. That tackle is often looked over, but was incredibly important as well. I miss watching Joe play (of course that particular game was before I was born…by a couple weeks).
@tron (93): I’m confused about how this list is racist? Maybe America-centric, but racist? huh?
Immaculate Reception #3?!
How dare you! It should be number 1!
In this play Ed McCaffrey breaks his leg yet still hangs on to the ball to complete the catch.
….wow, for the most part, the people commenting on here are pathetic, the comments almost kind of ruin this site
What the hell is the average age of people on here? 12? Funny how one mans list can get so many people to hate each other and call each other names
GROW UP PEOPLE
age 16 and below, just don’t comment, cause no matter what you’ll sound like a tool
@Pat (126): this is the internet pat. if u want mature, pc dialogue read the newspaper. homo
Pat shut up. You’re a tool yourself. In fact you know what? You can ” Pat ” my groin.
once again… another list that only 1 in 100 people give a flying ***** about….
clearly only americans are going to find this interesting and SURPRISE SURPRISE.. the world isnt all american !!!!
Somebody please post Mike Curtis absolutely blowing up the idiot fan who rushed onto the field and attempted to steal the ball.
@Stefan (129): Why are you so closed minded and hating on such an important part of American culture? The US is a beautiful country and it wont hurt you to learn a bit about it. One thing I like about this site is how global it is and that I am exposed to other counties perspectives. Like it or not the US is a huge part of the world, so learn to be less hateful towards our customs.
@Stefan (129): “the world isn’t all american!!!!”
Included in that statement is the owner of this site. Clearly the Kiwi (formerly living in England, now back in Kiwiland…a worldly guy that Jamie) who runs this place found RP’s list interesting enough to include on his site. The American’s don’t complain when a list is “not American enough,” and if someone submitted a well-done list about Cricket, or Rugby, or Aussie-rule footy, I’m sure Jamie would be willing to post it as well.
For all those people proposing that “why don’t you try to read the list and broaden your horizons”; how can you? if u don’t even understand how the game is played.
Nice list there.
Have to say I agree with the fact that us Americans don’t seem to protest when a list subject is clearly “foreign”. Maybe we’re not as xenophobic as many think we are. (At least Listverse readers, that is.) I lived in Europe and became a big fan of cricket, when the test series were still on the Beeb. I still remember Devon Macolm bowling 9 for 67 in the first England – South Africa test after the ban was lifted. I like French, Australian, Spanish, German, Chilean, Italian, South African, and American wines. And guess what, the oldest football club outside the U.K. is Oneida, in Massachuetts. Just never caught on here – probably something to do with not using your hands, more than the low scoring.
Net net, despite our worst elements (Rush, Beck, the previous administration), we’re a nation of immigrants, then and now, and our culture is an amalgamation of many cultures. Heck, American football grew out of rugby.
Liked the list, altough as a Steeler fan born and bred, I’d put Harrison’s run in there, and put the Immaculate Reception at No. 1. Not only a game-ending, game-winning score, but the first playoff win ever in the Steeler’s 38 year history.
Hey @Stefan (129): don’t be such a *****ing pussy
also patriots rule!
great list, don’t listen to all the whiners
If the Pats won it would not be their 3rd title in 4 years, it would have been their 3rd title in 5 years.
Irado!!
The best article I remember reading about the Patriots-Giants Super Bowl was in the Onion.
“Patriots’ Season Perfect For Rest of Nation” – Check it out.

To all America haters, suck ass *****es, you are all jealous cause you know we’re the greatest country on Earth!

“The only thing worse than the NFL is college football. The first list i wont be reading since this site’s inception.”
Why not? But you didn’t think twice about reading any other list? The one about Victorian Life, or fungi.. or the one about penises? Some people have different tastes but c’mon.
Good to see so many Steelers fans on here!
Sports suck to me, so only the bad moments are interesting. Where is the part where the guy had his leg snapped in half? That was memorable, I never even heard of number 1, and it didn’t seem interesting, unlike footage of a guy getting his leg snapped in half…
http://listverse.com/2009/02/19/top-10-international-rugby-teams/
How many “Americans” do you read bashing the list in the comments?
Couple of things:
#9: With the clock running down in the 4th quarter of a game against their biggest rivals, most teams would simply kneel the ball…
This isn’t true. The kneel-down began as a result of that play. Most teams would simply run up the middle with the runner holding the ball very tightly and falling forward into the line.
A good list. It isn’t easy to pick just ten, and many posters mentioned some other good ones. I’ll mention a personal one (though a heartbreaker): Watching Brian Sipe lead the Kardiac Kids down the field in the playoffs but throw an interception in the end zone in the frozen Municipal Stadium: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Right_88
#5: Kevin Dyson came as close to winning a Super Bowl as physically possible
If he’d scored, the Titans would still have been down by a point. If he’d scored, he would have given them a chance to tie or win on a two-point conversion, but he could not have won the Super Bowl himself on his run.
boring boring boring. and i wish you would keep up at cogitz…… sad
@cryan (119): Soccer is picking up a whole hell of a lot of popularity in the US. Football is a poor credential to add to your “Why I Ain’t No Pansy” list, because considering I can kick the asses of majority of the football players at my former high school, and almost did on a few occasions. To tell you the truth, I have no respect for football simply due to the fact that they are football players. They play a sport that involves tackling, so by default, they have to be tough, right? No. That assumption is false. Many of them would have been better off switching uniforms with our cheerleaders. And baseball? Really? Not to dig at baseball, but at least I can sympathize with why people think playing football makes you tough. But unless you get hit by the ball, baseball presents relatively fewer opportunities for injury or getting to kick ass. That was a poor choice of citing credentials, on your part. You know why soccer players flop? Strategy. Yeah, no kidding. They are rarely actually hurt when they flop on over. What is happening is they take a hit they could shake off, but if they “trip,” mister referee will give them a call. Most of those “pansies” pop right back up without a problem when the ref doesn’t buy their *****. Cheap? Yeah. Effective? Mostly. Pansy? Hardly. For somebody who was “very good at soccer I played on a competitive club team before high school.”, I’d think you could pull that well-known little factoid out of your ass. And 4.0? Well ***** me, looks like I’m locking horns with a genius! Grades and grade point averages are not a representation of intelligence or ignorance. It may only be of work ethic, if that. Memorization is all you need to pass most standardized tests. Cram it in until you take the test, then forget it because it no longer matters. Half of the 4.0′s in my school are idiot dip*****s whose only smart move in their life was to pound down gingko pills so they could memorize answers. Now, they don’t remember a damn thing from school, which was kind of the point, huh? And sorry, you are very ignorant.
I know plenty of “smart” people who don’t know a single thing that actually matters in the world as a whole. Ignorance is a closed mind, which you have. I’m sorry, you are failing to impress me, keep trying. You are just another stereotypical jock who managed to be literate enough to type. As far as I am concerned, you are just another dumb ape lying to get respect. Instead of claiming all this, why not prove it?
PS- I have two testicles and one penis in my pants, all three of which belong to me. I also have a taint that needs a good licking. Get to it, you gorilla jock! Hurry, before you break your leg, have to quit football, and fail to get signed to the NFL then live with your mom as a failure because you had no other ambitions or skills in life! Reply quickly with more dumb insults, my trained monkey is beating you!
@Stefan (127): You’re an idiot. If you don’t like the list, then shut the hell up. Your opinions don’t matter, go ***** yourself, yadda yadda yadda. I am so not in the mood for idiots right now. It’s like the world is getting collectively dumber, like in Idiocracy. For the love of God, will more of the smart people here post more? There doesn’t seem to be enough to drown out the stupid.
cmon people a little civility please, I am not american yet i am a fan of the nfl, furthermore i recall reading list about football (soccer) players in here, not as popular in north america but its still here, if this site were to be designed to please everyone it would be one list and one list only…that is lets see how many people complain about stupid meaningless ***** all the time and try to sound tough while doing it, unfortunatley for all you igorants this site aims not to please everyone with every list but off a wide category of options, if you don’t like the title don’t read it and don’t comment…sounds pretty easy but obviously isn’t
I don’t know ***** about American Gridiron or whatever you want to call it but how the ***** was no.1, no.1? It was a catch. WTF? All those guys who ran 60+ meters after displays of perfect teamwork are pushed back for a catch? oooookkkkk….
Love the site, but please, no more articles about american football and baseball etc!
A list of other things I don’t give a crap about:
starving sub-Saharan Africa
obese peoples’ health problems
celebs who (oopsie!) take too many pills
Jesus
cyclists who don’t wear helmets
curry and other taste-assaulting “foods”
natural disasters where people are shoeless
… and yet I have to hear about them every goddamn day.
More sports lists!!!
Ok Tommy, Jamie gives a crap that you don’t like football or baseball. I’m sure he’s going to take your advice and run with it. It really is like Idiocracy around here.
This list was pretty good. I don’t like football much, but it was well written.
@ianz09 (147): you can say all you have to say about how tough soccer is but i believe the consesus sides on me that football is much much much tougher than soccer, so i feel as stupid as a “jock gorilla” trying to argue with someone who clearly doesn’t see that he wants to get his taint licked because there’s a pussy and a fat clit taking form below his tiny ballsack. You may think that all football players are gorillas but im only 170 pounds. I’m good cuz im tough, fast, and athletically coordinated, which can also explain why i can hit a small ball travelling at 87 mph with nasty movement, something that any soccer player certainly could not do. You can call me a ignorant jock all you want, but I grew up in San Francisco, i was raised by liberal ivy league doctors, and i play three instruments, and im one of the most open minded stoners you’ll meet, but that doesn’t mean i don’t know a pussy when i smell one. Cuz i get a lot more poon than u. *****
I really like comment number 147. That other dude got owned.
I don’t really see why people can’t understand the strong anti-american sentiment found all over the world right now. I’m not condoning or criticizing it, i simply don’t see how people go ”wow why is everybody hating on the US”. I think it’s fairly obvious, and that things will settle down eventually.
By the way cryan, if you wanted to make a valid point, some of which you managed to do during your post, you completely ruined it saying such a juvenile comeback at the end. Learn from this.
MORE!! I hate watching football because of all the boring stuff but I do so love the great parts.
Someone do a list of the most uncomfortable moments. I remember watching with my brother the day Theismann broke his leg. OUCH.
Woah kids… calm down. If you must complain, then do so but keep it classy.
Good list, Random. I tend to watch more college FB than NFL, but it’s hard not to be familiar with most of these. This topic could even be expanded further with greatest catches, greatest tackles, etc. I’d love to see a greatest hits compilation. They make me giggle.
@Maximuz04 (16):
You’re pretty well into the list! You should submit one. I would suggest including:
- 2008 Red River Rivalry
- Any of the 40 bajillion upsets in the 2007 season
[deleted]
To answer “someone” the catch is number one because it lead to the biggest upset in NFL history its more the entire game that was memorable but it was an amazing catch that kept the drive going and eventually scored the winning td and football is played in yards not meters.
and secondly if you dont watch football because you aren’t from America don’t comment no one gives a ***** what you like and don’t like especially if your a soccer fan who doesn’t even understand the game of football
tron is ma nigga. tell’em wassup boi. take a shower and tell ur women to shave their pits, foreign pussies
@tron (160): lol… ironic
@gabi319 (159): If you must complain, then do so but keep it classy.
I’m sorry but my complaints are going to sound a little gauche for the time being because my top hat and tails are at the dry cleaners. Please bear with me.
@cryan (155): My conception of you hasn’t changed. Immaturity would have undermined your good point, if in fact your point were good. You might as well stop replying, because you make yourself look worse with every post. I don’t believe a word you say, because rather than back up your claims by talking as intelligent as you are, you talk like a child. I have a 50 foot dick, a pet monkey, and my dad has been to the moon. See, I can do it too! Until you actually make a good point without behaving like a child, I will be quite comfortable with my assumption that you are an arrogant dildo. Have a good day!
@tron (160): I think you were being sarcastic… In which case, good job, you made me lol.
Yawn.
I’m an arts major
@cryan (155): Oh, might as well get this out of the way, too. I am not very argumentative. I usually try to enjoy my time on here reading the lists. Despite this, however, I have locked horns with a few. Archiealt, auroranorth, saber25, and you. Auroranorth was a white supremacist, and an idiot. Saber25 didn’t actually have any reason whatsoever to ***** at me, but he is an idiot as well, plus his comments don’t make sense. I generally just swat him away, like a bug. But he comes back. Archiealt was an *****, but at least he knew what he was talking about and made good points. I don’t like him at all, but have some respect for him. Saber25 and auroranorth were persistent, which is only a positive quality in positive people. You are like aurora and saber. Persistent, but also stupid. On top of that, you are arrogant and immature, and have a false idea in your head that you are funny. Respond away! Reply me into the ground! I argue with smart people, not dumb ones. So get the last word, which I predict will be along the lines of “heh heh you just aren’t responding cuz u no i won *****in pussy”. Think that as much as you like. If it brings you comfort, go right on ahead. Really, only a few comments in reply to you are worth it. I think I have filled to quota of you being worth my time, and now it is time to move on and pretend the world is smart. And you get more poon, you say? Good for you. I’ll stick with my stable relationship, you have fun with chlamydia!
@Maggot (165): Please bear with me.
I’ll try but it may help me find some patience and tolerance if you at least wore a monocle while complaining.
@steph (168): Yawn. I’m an arts major
What does that have to do with this list?
I think us Aussie’s need to do ten memorable AFL moments, NRL moments & cricket moments.
ianz09 and cryan – WTF? How did a “10 Great NFL Momoents” list turn into a “my-sport-is-better-than-your-sport” rant. Simple comment to you both: “Grow the F%@k UP”.
ALL sports (and let’s keep this to “football” variants)have their merits and their skills and their dangers. All football codes have their peculiar injuries unique to them – Soccer tends toward ankles and knees (and literally hundreds of broken legs per year); Australian Rules has its toll in Cruciate Ligament ruptures and Hamstrings with ankle injuries running a close third as well as routine concussions (NO PADDING WORN AT ALL); NFL seems to have its knees and fractures while Rugby tends toward knees and shoulders.
Foe F#%k’s Sake – who gives a rats arse as to how many other players you have put on the bench by injuring them – that doesn’t make you a tough player or a hard player: It makes you a DIRTY player. As for cryan citing his College average – no-one cares: I have a 160-plus IQ so I’m not at all impressed by your grade average: ianz09 who care WHAT genitals you possess – just ’cause you’ve GOT em doesn’t make you a man: I mean, as far as we’re all concerned; they probably don’t even work – or only do so in the shower with your male friends.
What makes you a man is what and who you are inside – it’s NOT the sport you play, it’s not how many women you have shagged, it’s not your IQ or grade average: it’s what and who you are – - – and all I can see are to testosterone overdosed arseholes who are more interested in winning a *****ing contest than talking about the evident skills of their indigenous game.
BTW – I’m an Australian and don’t particularly understand American Football and I’ve watched a fair bit of it trying to pick up the rules and understand it: I’ve come to the conclusion that though i don’t particularly like it; it DOES have its skills and its hardness and toughness at the ball – and that I do like. But to compare it to other codes is almost as pointless as comparing NFL to baseball or to cricket – it’s exactly that – - – - POINTLESS.
Oh and BTW – just so you can’t attack me as a ‘sideline commentator’ I have played soccer at Stae level (and in line for National Selection); Australian Rules Football and Rugby as well as several other sports – including being a Black Belt in Shotokan Karate; so innate toughness comes in many guises and in ALL sports – it depends on what TYPE of toughness you require – after all; I don’t know too many iNFL. AFL, International Soccer Players etc who would have the mental toughness or the physical stamina to go 5 sets in 3 & a 1/2 hours with Roger Federer or 4 days and 72 holes with Tiger Woods (or especially; more than a single Round with Muhammad Ali)
I believe the first sentence for #1 should be “Has any team in the NFL ever seemed as dominant as the 2007 Patriots?”
Right now there’s a type that substitutes Giants for Patriots.
@Shagrat (172): Great, another one. You would have made a great point when you said grow up, but then you said I had erectile dysfunction and called me homo*****ual. Perfect way to undermine yourself. I’d respect anybody else who tried to be the voice of reason, but you really undermined yourself. Hopefully you are decent in all of your other comments. No, hurting people doesn’t make you a man. But that is the stereotype, which cryan was playing off of, and from his standards of qualifying as a man, I proved soccer wasn’t a pussy sport. If you don’t like our posts, skip them. Nobody is making you read anything, and nobody is making you reply. I have a really low tolerance for idiots, please don’t become one. The best way to make us look stupid is to post a mature and relevant comment dismissing us both a immature tools, but rather you partook in it. Sorry if that strikes me as ironic.
@Shagrat (172): One more quick point: Indigenous sports do not apply. We are both American, our indigenous sport is American football. And to add onto my last post, and I almost hate to say it, you are right. But your argument is as childish as ours considering the jabs you threw in. Just for clarity.
Well im not an american, i dont live in the US, but i LOVE FOOTBALL!! being playing since it was a kid and as my coach said “Football is the only sports that it looks for dumbasses, but dumbasses would never ever learn how to play”.
Agree with the list, and oh! go niners!!…yes even with the sad defeat today lol!.
P.S it would be great to have a college football list, my pick for no.1?? Boise state last drive and the statue of liberty two point play.
Football fans discuss!.
Jesus ***** *****ing Christ. Could more people please compare dick sizes, because obviously not enough of that is happening (I’m looking at you cryan and ianz09). How about this; maybe everyone should stop spouting “I HATE AMERICAN FOOTBALL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT REPRESENT MY COUNTRY” because frankly it shouldn’t. It’s part of our culture. I’m not telling you to like it, but seriously, does the very thought of American football incite hatred within you people? Did American football invade Iraq? Pretty sure that was our military, not our *****ing St. Louis Rams. Try opening your ears, eyes, and minds for ***** sake.
I only have one exception to this list, and that is that this particular moment wasn’t included as well…
Perhaps we could bump this up to a fifteen entry list?
Also, I got to see that play I have referenced personally… and man was it awesome. I’m too young for mot of the others, and quite frankly if it ain’t the Steelers, it ain’t football!
A huge LOL at the folks who keep going on and on about people complaining, giving large thought-out paragraphs criticising the posters, usually telling them ‘YOU DON’T HAVE TO READ THE LIST’. To say they’re trying to make all the complainers see the light, I think it’s those guys that need more light than anybody.
As a shout-out to my fellow Steelers fans…
“HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!”
Also, hey, I don’t complain about lists written about other cultures. I just either read them for the enlightenment, or I ignore them if they don’t interest me. I’d ask for some maturity, but hey, it’s the internet… so bash away…
