00:01Oh.
00:02Super Bowl member!
00:05Boom! Boom! Boom!
00:07This afternoon, we're gonna play the biggest football game in the history of Western civilization.
00:12Or for this year, anyway.
00:14Amazingly enough, I think this is both even bigger than the chains.
00:19I wouldn't say that.
00:22Hey!
00:23Hey!
00:25Hey!
00:28Hey!
00:34If it happens in the Super Bowl, it lives forever.
00:37This one will be released forever!
00:41Kind of the main thing that separates the great players from just the, oh, well, it's pretty neat.
00:45It's sheer effort.
00:46Biggest play of the game today!
00:48Definitely needs some kind of controversy of stuff.
00:52It's, it's, it's the, it's because they know it's only one game.
00:56Nobody cares what happens in game two of a seven game series in the World Series or the NBA Finals.
01:04The Stanley Cup.
01:06They know the Super Bowl is a one-time event.
01:09You screw up, you get no other chance.
01:12The game is a two-time event.
01:13You're a two-time event.
01:16He's on the run.
01:16He breaks three.
01:17There he goes!
01:18Midfield!
01:18Look out!
01:19We need a play.
01:20And first!
01:21My goodness!
01:22We need to stop.
01:23Reaches to the goal line.
01:24No!
01:25We need to get it done.
01:26Touchdown!
01:27Tom Brady!
01:27Those are the ingredients of what really makes a great play.
01:33And then, oh, by the way, do something spectacular physically.
01:36Is Antonio home? I don't know how he did it.
01:39It might be the most spectacular individual player, just the most athletic play.
01:44But if it doesn't have time, place, circumstance.
01:49Greatest play in a Super Bowl should be, did it determine the game?
01:53Did it determine?
01:54Yes.
01:56We got Adam Vinatieri, we got Syntonio Holmes.
02:01Who else?
02:04Jim O'Brien.
02:08Determine who won or won.
02:09Who's getting a ring and who's not getting a ring.
02:12Steps up, throws.
02:15This would make me immortal.
02:21The number 10 greatest play in Super Bowl history.
02:23Max McGee's one-handed grab and giddy-up for a score.
02:28That's so underrated, because that wasn't from the era.
02:32You can see they didn't have gloves.
02:34And that's from the era where one-handed catches were not the commonplace thing.
02:41It's really a blast, or make that blast it, because the first touchdown ever scored in a Super Bowl came
02:48courtesy of a tippler, who got totaled the night before.
02:52Star dropping straight back, hit as he throws, and...
02:58And the old veteran was hungover from the night before.
03:01And he was old.
03:09Washed up.
03:12He was thot.
03:17Now, Max McGee was only 34 and a half, but he could have been about 50.
03:31Here's the better thing about Max McGee in that game.
03:34Max didn't even think he was going to play in that game.
03:36You know, Boyd Dollar got hurt early in the game.
03:39Now we have our first sub of the game.
03:41Dollar is going out, and Max McGee now is coming in as blank.
03:44He had barely played all year.
03:46I think he'd caught, like, three balls the whole year.
03:48All of a sudden, now, Max has got to go in there and play, and he was out the night
03:52before partying the whole night.
03:53He's out getting drunk the night before.
03:55He's my hero, and he's also, like, the anti-Johnny Manziel.
04:00You're talking about a 30-something-year-old wide receiver on no sleep with a hangover.
04:05I mean, I don't know about you, but I can't even watch Star Trek The Next Generation with a hangover.
04:12It just tells you, you know, you never know when you're going to get called upon,
04:16so make sure you drink heavily the night before, just in case.
04:20Max McGee had caught 17 passes the last three seasons.
04:24He, the last, well, no, he caught four balls in 66.
04:30He caught 14 passes the last two seasons.
04:32He wasn't, he wasn't any good.
04:39The catch itself is great.
04:41He just plucked it out of the air, takes it, goes in the air, just a great play.
04:46It's huge because people weren't doing this.
04:49People weren't being sort of showy like that and, oh.
04:52McGee's catch is even more startling in super slow motion, and it was a portent of things to come.
04:58You could make a case of being the MVP in that game.
05:01What, seven passes, about 125 yards, two touchdown passes.
05:05Start looks, has time, close to the end zone, a great catch by Max McGee.
05:13I'm wondering, maybe you could explain to me why Max McGee's touchdown in Super Bowl I is on the list.
05:23What needs to be explained, it's a one-handed catch, it's the first touchdown in Super Bowl history.
05:30A one-handed catch behind him, like this, behind, behind him, with no gloves, and he's hung over.
05:41What are we doing?
05:43Max McGee?
05:45It was in front of a half-empty stadium, wasn't even the Super Bowl at that time.
05:49People are like, is this a glorified exhibition game, does this even matter?
05:54It has nothing to do with how good the play was.
05:57You're just yapping.
06:00Well, I love Max McGee because he's from Tulane, and he's doing Tulane proud because he's well-known for his
06:07drinking, essentially.
06:14Just like any good person from New Orleans, he's known for coming in late.
06:19I'm a bitch after the curfew check, because I sneak out every f***ing night.
06:26He's s***ing for all that's good.
06:28Beer and touchdowns and championships.
06:30How are you going to beat that?
06:31What a d***!
06:33Half the six Super Bowls means he didn't make the top ten cut.
06:37Dan Pons is the 49er who hit him at the half-yard line.
06:41But that doesn't mean the best of the rest aren't a kick, but the start to Super Bowl XLI.
06:46And everyone's thinking the Colts are going to blow him out in the first play from scrimmage.
06:50It did kind of blow them out, but...
06:56Adam Vinatieri kicking to Hester didn't help their chances.
07:00Devin Hester...
07:02They're taking pictures on the opening kickoff.
07:05Before their flashes were done, he was in the end zone.
07:07Colts kickoff coverage, atrocious all season long.
07:11Breaks free of the 25 to the 30, to the outside!
07:14Midfield!
07:1530 under coach!
07:1620!
07:1715!
07:18And 5!
07:18I'm mad!
07:19That was a shocking opening.
07:22Yeah, the only time it's happened, right?
07:25But think of how devastating it has to be to the other team.
07:27The Super Bowl's not 15 seconds old, and they're already in a hole.
07:317-0 Bears, we played 14.
07:34That was a disaster.
07:36I remember looking to the guy next to me and saying,
07:38It might be raining, and it might not be pretty.
07:41We've got ourselves a game.
07:42He also had Peyton Manning hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
07:47You can't stop him.
07:48You can only hope.
07:49It's a container.
07:50Easy, big fella.
07:52Don't forget what happened in your next trip to a Super Bowl in Miami.
07:56Tennessee Porter's pick six.
07:58I knew it.
07:59That's obvious.
08:01The ninth-greatest play in Super Bowl history.
08:04Sean Payton ambushing the Colts to start the second half of Super Bowl 44.
08:09It's onside kick.
08:12No.
08:13We've got to recover the onside kick, boys.
08:16So the Saints will kick it away.
08:18Beginning the second half.
08:20Trailing 10-6.
08:21Thomas Morstead steps into the football, and it's an onside kick.
08:25And it's going to be covered off by Chris Reese, I believe.
08:30I don't see it going into the end zone.
08:32Wait, onside kick?
08:34You thought, no, no.
08:35What are you doing?
08:36That doesn't make any sense.
08:36And then it works out, and you go, oh, wow, that was just genius.
08:39It's New Orleans ball.
08:41Wow.
08:44It was the biggest play in that Super Bowl and changed the tide.
08:48You better believe a play this good has a kickin' name and an even better backstory.
08:54You know, they say the who helped the Saints win the Super Bowl because the halftime show was so long.
09:01But halftime's 35 minutes.
09:02You know, somewhere between Teenage Wasteland and Pinball Wizard, you know, decided that this was going to be the time
09:09to run this.
09:11We're going to start this half kicking off.
09:13All right, ambush.
09:15Let's go get this game.
09:17That meant all the pressure.
09:18Oh, Morstead.
09:20Morstead got them to the Super Bowl, too.
09:24The kicker was, for the entire halftime, just panicking.
09:29Thomas Morstead has also, he says, I wasn't worried.
09:31I was terrified.
09:32Don't blow it.
09:33Don't blow the kick.
09:37It should have been easily recovered by the colds, and it just popped out of Hank Baskett's hand.
09:43You know, everyone in America knew Hank Baskett at the time because he was dating a Playboy Playmate.
09:50Players underneath that pile said they had.
09:52Yeah, well.
09:55That's a terrible play, boy.
09:58I've never seen anything like that.
10:01It was 10 minutes of pushing and shoving.
10:03You got it!
10:04Mike, get out of here!
10:05Get out of here!
10:06Hey, this can't happen.
10:08We had the ball.
10:08You have to have a big set of them to make that call.
10:12When the president is calling out what a gutsy, unbelievable call.
10:19I make some tough decisions every day, but I never decided on an onside kick.
10:24In the second half of the Super Bowl, that took some guts.
10:27That is the ballsiest play in Super Bowl history.
10:31Parcells said it.
10:32You've got to have balls to win this game.
10:34I'm telling you.
10:34You set the record.
10:36Are any of Parcells' teams on this list?
10:40Should be.
10:41Head to the chopper.
10:42For the number eight greatest play, John Elway goes full Whirlyburg.
10:47That sacrifice.
10:49Elway can run inside the 10.
10:51Head first.
10:52He dives inside the five-yard line.
10:54My goodness!
10:56Well, it's a signature play of his career.
10:58I was like, thank you, football gods.
10:59I needed a signature play.
11:01There it is.
11:02You can still see it.
11:04What I remember most about it is just the visual.
11:06The idea of seeing what at the time was an old man quarterback flying through the air
11:12and spinning around like that.
11:15He threw his entire body on the line.
11:17He risked everything, and he's 37 years old at the time.
11:20You want to tell me?
11:21He gets clodded by two Packers on the way down, too.
11:26The 37-year-old man doesn't want to win this game.
11:29That's sacrifice.
11:30He already had like 30 car dealerships at that point.
11:33He had made a ton of money.
11:35His life was set for all but one thing.
11:38He didn't have the ring.
11:40He wanted it.
11:41When you see a 37-year-old man who died, I think that's why Pat Boland said,
11:48This one's for John.
11:52The helicopter is one of the 10 best plays in the history of the biggest game in the sport?
11:58Yes.
11:59I was for eight yards.
12:01Come on.
12:03The top play was for eight yards.
12:06Well, there were extenuating circumstances.
12:09Remember, heading into the game, John Elway had a Super Bowl history, all of it bad.
12:14Would you consider your completely a Super Bowl?
12:15He was the guy who could never win a Super Bowl.
12:18I mean, he had had all these cracks at it before then.
12:22And you just kept...
12:23Stop.
12:24I'm a Redskins fan.
12:25We used to call him No Way Elway.
12:27John Elway had been frustrated, devastated, and embarrassed because he hadn't played well.
12:32John Elway's mom, I put it in the game, we weren't sure we won because of the three previous losses.
12:41The Packers were thought to be better than at least two of the three teams that the Broncos faced the
12:48last time.
12:49This should have been worse.
12:50They should have...
12:51They lost to the Redskins by 32.
12:54They should have lost to the Packers by 40.
12:57Well, that's not what happened.
13:00This is a Broncos team that didn't even win their division.
13:04That's why they played the game and don't just write it down on paper.
13:16He actually hated that play.
13:18He went to Shanahan and said different coverage.
13:21And they said, okay, Packers never run that coverage against this play.
13:24Don't worry about it.
13:26I said, okay, so in comes that play.
13:28Okay, point slice.
13:29Insurance gun is third and six, and I look out there.
13:32They're not in that defense.
13:33And so I knew they'd have to find a hole.
13:35The most important part of that play is he recognized it right away.
13:38He drops back, and as soon as he plants his back foot, his run is instantaneous.
13:43If he views the field and checks it all out, and tries to figure something else out against this defense,
13:48he burst it.
13:49So think through that play in the week leading up to it.
13:52I mean, he's sitting in his hotel room.
13:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:02There was one of those moments when you say,
14:06we can skip ahead here.
14:07We know how it ends.
14:09But you have the helicopter play, and John Elway rides off on his white horse with two Super Bowl rings
14:14and his career.
14:17Why is the clock stopped?
14:20To give us some time to get caught up on the best of the rest, Joe, including the blackout in
14:25the Big Easy.
14:26Those lights go down.
14:27I look around, and these are some of my brethren in the sports writing community.
14:30We look around at each other and say, I don't know what's going on.
14:32And there was a genuine moment of fear.
14:36Yeah, yeah.
14:39Moment of fear was Baltimore, that's not even deserving of an NFL team, quote-unquote,
14:46was about to win another Super Bowl.
14:48So they shut the lights off.
14:52If anybody disagrees with that, show me another Super Bowl.
14:55The lights went out.
14:58Multi-billion dollar industry.
15:04The scramble officials are going through.
15:08This has
15:10lapped into the surreal.
15:12How the hell does this happen?
15:13This is insane.
15:14New Orleans, man, they probably just had one generator with one glove.
15:17Oops!
15:18They tripped over.
15:19I couldn't believe anything could happen here.
15:21The Superdome is a Mercedes, right?
15:23That's got to be very expensive to fix.
15:25From no juice to the first electrifying performance in Super Bowl history,
15:30Lynn Swann's levitating leap and kangaroo capable 10.
15:35It was bad.
15:36His toe tap was in that same game was better.
15:39Amazing catch, and you were sitting here.
15:40But there might be two, because the 64-yard bomb from Bradshaw to Swann to seal the game
15:47was amazing on several.
15:49The one, it was a perfect throw that traveled over 50 yards in the air.
15:54Fourth quarter, when everyone's fatigued.
15:55Second of all, seeing that shot from Bradshaw's angle, he gets hit from the block.
16:03I mean, out.
16:04Out.
16:06Uh, uh, uh, um.
16:10Freaking George Foreman right hook.
16:13I mean, he gets smoked.
16:17Sorry, Terry.
16:18The good news is that a Steeler catch and run did make the list.
16:24The 7th Greatest Super Bowl.
16:26Super Bowl play.
16:28Dicks.
16:29When I say top 10 greatest plays in Super Bowl history,
16:32what's the first play that comes to your mind?
16:34Super Bowl 43.
16:36James Harrison in.
16:3718 seconds left.
16:38Up to second for Super Bowl 43.
16:41We showed an all-out blitz, and Kurt Warner, we were going to come out to bring the house.
16:45Steeler, no blitz.
16:46He dropped back through the hot.
16:48James Harrison.
16:50It's going to be picked up, James Harrison.
16:52And he just kept running.
16:5425.
16:56An all-time great playoff quarterback, no sarcasm.
17:00And he has two great receivers.
17:03So what the freak was he looking at?
17:07In that play.
17:09He doesn't do that, and they win the game.
17:13They only lost the game by four points.
17:2035-40.
17:21Still on his feet at the 45.
17:23And down.
17:23No, he's still on his feet.
17:24Here's Captain Harrison.
17:26Jump over people.
17:28To the 20.
17:29The 50.
17:30The 10.
17:30The 5.
17:31And that's a touchdown.
17:32Hit for it.
17:32An amazing play by James Harrison.
17:39If you watch that play over and over again, there's at least four or five times where he
17:44should have been tackled.
17:46Kurt Warner had his shot.
17:48Larry Fitzgerald had his shot.
18:05I'm pretty sure Ken Whizshot missed the tag.
18:08And all I remember is Larry Fitzgerald.
18:11Run style.
18:22Doin' like a Deion Sanders.
18:27Oh my god.
18:31He's goin' like a hundred yards down the field.
18:34Deion Sanders!
18:38You have to protect against James Harrison because he's such a great...
18:46...ass rusher.
18:47On that play, he's...
18:53Would have put a higher.
18:55I really would.
18:56I don't know of a greater play on a bigger stage.
18:59I think it should be in the top five.
19:05Yeah!
19:07Who's picking these?
19:08The defensive player making an impact in the ball game right before the hand that has to
19:13be better than seven.
19:20What's really interesting what happens...
19:22Suffers from the fact that Fitzgerald and Santonio Holmes maybe had better plays in the same
19:29game.
19:30After the Harrison.
19:31Because Arizona comes back and has a great second half.
19:34You know, makes this a close game.
19:36Turns it...
19:36Sets the stage for...
19:38The 6th greatest Super Bowl play.
19:41Santonio Holmes toe-tap catch.
19:44Do you have Santonio...
19:45Super Bowl?
19:47That has to be top five.
19:50Antonio ahead of James Harrison on the list?
19:53I do.
19:53Yeah.
19:54You guys gotta switch that.
19:56Switch!
19:56Switch!
19:58Well Harrison didn't win the game with that.
20:00I don't think you'll find one person that you talk to that will say Santonio Holmes' play
20:05should be above James Harrison's play.
20:07Santonio Holmes has to be higher than James Harrison.
20:10Are you kidding me?
20:11Come on!
20:13You gotta be kidding me!
20:15Santonio Holmes has one of the great catches in NFL history.
20:18And it happens when you either win or lose the Super Bowl.
20:22So Santonio's gotta be higher.
20:26The final score I think was 23-27.
20:30They could've just kicked the field goal.
20:31It wasn't win or lose.
20:33It was win or kick a field goal at the time.
20:39Ben throws it back corner of the end zone.
20:42Santonio with a touchdown!
20:44Santonio Holmes!
20:45It's unbelievable!
20:47It's the perfect throw by Roethlisberger.
20:50You got Roethlisberger credit.
20:52That was a heck of a play.
20:54It's the perfect catch.
20:56That's how you beat that!
20:58It's worse defense.
21:00That's how you beat that!
21:02And it wins a Super Bowl.
21:04What a...
21:0651 seconds to go!
21:08We need this play, man.
21:10Go, man.
21:10This will win the championship for us right here, man.
21:16The touchdown is the kind of athletic achievement that makes those of us who can't play professional football go,
21:22So, I have no idea how he did that.
21:25I don't know how he did it!
21:26In fact, I think it's the kind of athletic achievement that makes most people who actually play professional football say,
21:39I have no idea how he did that.
21:41The catch was...
21:44Well...
21:46Uh...
21:48We can blame Francisco or something.
21:51Number 47.
21:52He blew the entire game for the Cardinals.
21:56Phenomenal.
21:57But guess what?
21:58The throw was phenomenal too!
22:00I don't even know how big that ball to San Antonio.
22:05You wanna talk about a throw?
22:07Man, if you ask Seven to make that throw 10 times,
22:11Honestly, I don't know if he's gonna make that throw 10 times.
22:14Cause Seven had to throw that over a safety and over a corner.
22:18All jumped and just missed it.
22:20He had three Cardinals there.
22:22Nothing they can do.
22:23What a throw, what a catch.
22:24Greatest play in Super Bowl history is John Riggins' romp in Super Bowl 17.
22:29He's gone! He's gone!
22:31That's good.
22:32No doubt that Riggos' romp saved the day.
22:34But there are some mysteries.
22:36My only question is, what happened to the headdress guy?
22:39You know, the guy's like...
22:41Pump up that diesel!
22:43That's Chief Z.
22:47Drag up that diesel!
22:49Diesel! Drag up that diesel!
22:51On! On! On! On! On!
22:54The greatest thing about that play, fourth and one.
22:56Fourth and one.
22:57And they'd run it three times prior.
22:58So it was like, you know what's coming.
23:00Here comes the diesel!
23:02Here comes the diesel!
23:04Riggins is just so awesome in every way, you know.
23:06You've got a guy who, on fourth and one,
23:09is just gonna take it to the house.
23:11There's the snap, hand to Riggins.
23:12Good!
23:12Oh, he's got the first down to the 40!
23:14He's gone!
23:15The 35, the 30, the 1!
23:17He's gone! He's gone!
23:19Right down, Washington Redskins!
23:22I love, I love the diesel horn that's played
23:25when it's realized he's broken into the open
23:28and he's gonna go a long way.
23:30And then it gets louder when people realize,
23:32yeah, he's gonna score a touchdown.
23:36This game's over.
23:37Yeah, there's a great carry.
23:39So by the time he played against the Dolphins,
23:42with today's players, they're tapping out, you know.
23:45John Riggins is on carry 30 whatever
23:48when he gets that ball and he runs right through Don McNeil.
23:52Poor Don McNeil.
23:54Yeah, poor Don McNeil on this.
23:57He's kind of like the mud on a mud flap of a truck
24:00of some type of semi going down the highway.
24:03Right? Because there are posters of McNeil
24:06just kind of hanging on for dear life.
24:10Like, you got no chance.
24:12No chance.
24:14He was kind of like an elephant.
24:16He didn't even, if you're gonna get shed off the tackle,
24:21you're gonna shed, you're gonna get shed like snakeskin.
24:26The least he could have done was rip the jersey
24:28or mess up the jersey, messed up the shoulder pads.
24:31He didn't even do that.
24:33It just looked like before.
24:34You're a grown man.
24:36You can't rip a jersey if you're not at least gonna make the tackle.
24:43I'm about 150-something.
24:45I could have ripped that jersey.
24:50The elephant swatting away flies with his tail on that run.
24:56It was like a 12-year-old kid trying to tackle a grown man.
25:00And he just slid off him and ran right over him for a touchdown.
25:06To crack the top five takes something special,
25:09like say, icing a Super Bowl win.
25:11You get stopped there.
25:13Dolphins may win the Super Bowl.
25:15Not only do you get the first down,
25:17you break through the line of scrimmage and go the distance.
25:20And you're the Super Bowl MVP.
25:22And I think at the time it was the most yards anybody had ever rushed for in a Super Bowl.
25:27No, it's one of the greats.
25:28It's one of the greats.
25:29We'll give the Diesel himself the final word.
25:33It's...
25:36Well...
25:37You could say figuratively it was orgasmic.
25:40Number...
25:41Adam Betti kickstarts the Patriots dynasty.
25:44It's good! It's good!
25:46It's good!
25:47Four?
25:48Okay.
25:49Montana Taylor.
25:52David Tyree.
25:53What the heck else could be?
25:55It has to be top three.
25:59In Bill Belichick's world, everybody has a job.
26:02Come on fellas, just do your job!
26:04And Adam Betti made kicks.
26:06Including a kick to win Super Bowl 36.
26:10Adam Betti will try to win it with a 47-yard field goal.
26:13There's no question we've had him the most clutch kicker of all time.
26:1748-yard field goal to test.
26:18Snap ball down.
26:19Kick up.
26:20Kick is on the way.
26:21And it is...
26:22Goal!
26:23It's good!
26:24And a minute Terry!
26:26Moves a 48-yard field goal!
26:28And the Patriots are Super Bowl champions!
26:35The second it left his foot, he turned around and celebrated.
26:39That's just like when you watch a great homerun hitter drop the bat the second he's contact on a beautiful
26:47bomb homerun.
26:48He turned into Reggie Jackson.
26:51Reggie Jackson swings, hits his third homerun of the day for the Yankees.
26:59Just drops his bat.
27:01Adam Vinatieri swings his leg.
27:04Mr. February.
27:07Look at that kick.
27:09Not only did he split the uprights, it landed three-quarters of the way up the net.
27:15That would have been good from 65 yards away.
27:19Yep.
27:20His best kick in that postseason, though, was not the Super Bowl kick.
27:24Talk rule game.
27:26It was the 48-yarder against Oakland in the snow.
27:29That's his kick to me.
27:30Going in the wind and doing that in the winter.
27:32We're in the snow and hardly having even a place to put the ball.
27:36You can barely see the uprights in the snow game.
27:39I have no idea how he knew where he was aiming the ball.
27:41That could very well be the best kick of all time.
27:44The crowd will tell you whether he makes it or not.
27:47They split it.
27:48They split it all the time.
27:51It's a bob seed.
27:54Of course, some folks give this play the fisheye.
27:57You know, kickers and all that.
27:59He's a kicker.
28:00Kicker is an incidental.
28:02It's like getting a pickle with a sandwich.
28:04Is it gonna make the sandwich? No.
28:06Is it gonna ruin it? No.
28:08Yeah, the football purist in me says, push it down a little.
28:11That's opinion. Pickles always make my sandwich.
28:15I don't usually eat a burger when I go out to eat, and it doesn't have a pickle.
28:25We're going to take Lin Swan off the list and put a field goal on there?
28:29Swan makes his trick and catch in the end zone. Unbelievable catch for the touchdown.
28:34Jim O'Brien, Super Bowl V. Where's that on this list?
28:37Yes. Yes. Where? That's not even an honorable mention?
28:43Bull.
28:45But it's long enough. It is bad!
28:48Yeah, he did that 30-plus years earlier.
28:53Oh, it's not even an honorable mention.
28:56If it wasn't Baltimore winning the game, it'd probably be on the list.
29:02Do me a favor.
29:03Jim O'Brien, Super Bowl V, Vinatieri against the Rams, Vinatieri against the Panthers.
29:08If we lump them together, then, okay, I'm cool with it.
29:14The Adam Vinatieri Super Bowl winning kick is the greatest play in past history.
29:19And the ramifications are just unbelievable.
29:23I mean, that kick launched the dynasty.
29:26They win two years later, and then again, three and four years.
29:29If he doesn't make that kick, who knows if anything else comes true?
29:33It was unexpected. Nobody, what were they, 14-point underdogs that year?
29:37When Vinatieri kicked that field goal and they won, it was kind of a feel-good story.
29:41Robert Kraft made the speech afterwards about we're all Patriots because it was a couple months after 9-11.
29:47The fans of New England have been waiting 42 years for this thing.
29:52After that, yeah, that happens.
30:03This list celebrates the best of the best, so some of the most iconic moments in Super Bowl history didn't
30:10make the cut.
30:12Yeah, none of those, none of these listed should make them.
30:16You know why? Because they were all blowouts.
30:18I want clutch stuff that wins games.
30:22All of these were blowouts.
30:23You can't have a blowout and a Super Bowl play be on the list because it didn't decide the game.
30:42Marcus Allen doesn't make the list.
30:44You know, if we do this list in 1989, that's like number three.
30:50It's a 29-point game.
30:55He takes the ball, runs backwards into the end zone.
31:00The other end zone for a safety.
31:03They still win the game by 20 points.
31:10With five Lombardi trophies, the 49ers had many great Super Bowl moments,
31:15but one stood out above the rest.
31:17The John Taylor catch, Super Bowl XXIII.
31:21That play was such a perfect encapsulation of the Niners dynasty.
31:26That play was a perfect pass, a great route, and it won a Super Bowl.
31:35Super Bowl XXIII culminated with a touchdown catch.
31:39Eleven years later, our number three Super Bowl play ended the game one yard short of the end zone.
31:45The third greatest Super Bowl play.
31:48Mike Jones game-saving tackle.
31:52All right, guys.
31:54Last play in the game.
31:57And Gaird bust.
31:58Throws right side for Dyson.
32:00He dives for the end zone.
32:02It made it.
32:03He came up one yard short.
32:05That tackle, when you saw it, your jaw was on the ground.
32:09You were in a heap of oohs and fandom, and you couldn't believe what you just saw.
32:13Reaches to the goal line.
32:15No, he falls at the one.
32:17Mike Jones saving St. Louis, to me, that's the stuff of backyard dreams.
32:22That is a beautiful tackle, and he saved the day.
32:26That's the kind of six-ranked defense that stole the show.
32:30What?
32:30And he stayed.
32:33For the greatest show on turf to win their only Super Bowl,
32:35and it being decided by Mike Jones, a defender, a linebacker.
32:38The defense.
32:40The defense wasn't that bad.
32:41A reminder, Kevin Dyson already pulled off the Music City Miracle in those playoffs.
32:48The Titans were a miracle team.
32:51Mike Jones had to be even more miraculous to stop Dyson from scoring that time.
33:04That's an unbelievable story.
33:05Captain!
33:06We won!
33:07Woo-hoo!
33:09That's a game!
33:10It's over!
33:11Mike Jones.
33:12You guys.
33:14Golf clap.
33:15You guys nailed this.
33:16Nailed it!
33:17Nailed it!
33:18I mean, it's not easy for a linebacker to take down a wide receiver
33:21when the wide receiver is a yard away from the end zone
33:23and has all the momentum moving forward.
33:25It's one of the great tackles of all time.
33:29That was, uh...
33:32That was heartbreaking, man.
33:35Dang, man.
33:36You're that close.
33:37It's a game of inches.
33:39The Rams win by a yard.
33:46The end zone was right here.
33:48And the ball was right here.
33:51Didn't make it!
33:51Didn't make it!
33:52No!
33:53No!
33:54No!
33:54I would have been in that position for, like, two days.
33:57Just like, oh my God.
33:58Like, all I had to do was flick of the wrist.
34:02Ah!
34:03Man!
34:05Some of the most memorable plays in Super Bowl history are ones or...
34:09Yeah, that's one of the worst Super Bowl plays.
34:12Wide right.
34:12The Raptors would like us to forget.
34:17From Garrow's gaff...
34:19Garrow, you've heard me have lost me head and tried to throw a pallet.
34:22To Leon's fumble...
34:23It's a fumble and it knocked out of his hand!
34:26To Jackie's drop...
34:27Oh, bless his heart!
34:29He's got to be the sickest man in America!
34:31Super Bowl fame doesn't always result in fortune.
34:35Oh my gosh!
34:36So the first play of the game, a nightmare for the Broncos.
34:40Our number two Super Bowl moment won't be remembered as a bonehead play,
34:44but as a hotly debated play call.
34:48The second greatest Super Bowl play.
34:51Malcolm Butler stuns the Seahawks.
34:54Why don't you give the ball to Marshawn Lynch?
34:58Why don't you give the ball to B-Smoke?
35:00You've got a guy that's been borderline unstoppable in this part of the field.
35:05I can't believe the call.
35:07Who the f**k throws a pass on the one-yard line?
35:13Bleep it!
35:14It's got to be one of the...
35:15They're going to bleep it.
35:16...of the dumbest calls offensively in Super Bowl history.
35:21If you have 26 seconds left in the game and one timeout,
35:25mathematics demand that you throw the ball on one of your final three plays.
35:29Now, in hindsight, yeah, it did not work out, but the logic behind...
35:32Yeah, they threw the ball on one of their final one plays.
35:37...to the other team.
35:38It was what, second down?
35:41They had two more chances.
35:44And the decision was just fine.
35:47You are on the one-yard line, and you have number 24, and you drop back pass.
35:54Are you kidding me?
35:57Play like it in the history of the Super Bowl.
36:00So, yeah, I think it should be number one on the list.
36:03Go be smart!
36:05Go be smart!
36:06Malcolm Butler has become the latest example of a player going from NFL unknown to Super Bowl hero.
36:13Malcolm Butler had played maybe 100 snaps all year long.
36:18He was a free agent.
36:21He was only in the game because another player got benched.
36:25So, 25 got benched.
36:2821's in the game now.
36:29Yep.
36:29Poor Malcolm Butler.
36:31When he made that play, there were so many sports writers going on Wikipedia trying to figure out who the
36:35heck he was.
36:36Who is Malcolm Butler?
36:37Who is Tracy Porter?
36:38He's picked up!
36:39It's Tracy Porter again!
36:41He's going to go!
36:42What does that make the list?
36:44The Super Bowl heroes, this is what happens.
36:47You have a guy like Malcolm Butler out of West Alabama, the fifth quarter.
36:51West Alabama?
36:52Yeah, I just looked it up.
36:54West Alabama.
36:56He played in six bowl games.
37:01No, they played in 11 bowl games.
37:02They won five.
37:04The cornerback on the depth chart gets sent in the last second.
37:08Malcolm, go!
37:09He makes the biggest play.
37:10That's the Super Bowl.
37:11Someone's going to step up that you never heard of.
37:13It just so happens.
37:14It's Malcolm Butler.
37:17Butler made a play.
37:19And this game has been made on plays.
37:21He actually became a really solid guy.
37:24An all-pro after that.
37:26Not such a nobody anymore, right?
37:29History.
37:30And now, the greatest Super Bowl play.
37:34David Tyree's helmet catch.
37:37Yeah, the greatest play in Super Bowl history.
37:41When I said that, what's the one that jumps out of your mind?
37:44Tyree.
37:45The catch.
37:45David Tyree.
37:46David Tyree's catch deserves to be number one because of just so many reasons.
37:52And he takes the snap.
37:54Back.
37:56To throw.
37:57Under pressure.
37:58Avoids the rush.
37:59And he's going to fight out of it.
38:01Still fights out of it.
38:03Now throws it deep downfield.
38:05Wide open.
38:06Tyree who makes the catch.
38:08To be able to escape the Patriots defensive line.
38:12Get away.
38:13Keep the.
38:13Yeah, yeah.
38:15He's in the grasp of Hall of Famer Richard Seymour.
38:18And he fires it to Tyree.
38:21It wasn't Tyree beating some bum.
38:25Rodney Harrison's a borderline Hall of Famer.
38:27Tyree was the bum in NFL terms.
38:31But he caught it.
38:34Both catch, trust, play, time.
38:37I think that's a play because of all the circumstances involved around it.
38:40It just jumps off the page.
38:45David Tyree defines an unlikely hero.
38:48Before catching three passes, including a touchdown in the Super Bowl,
38:52he had just five catches all season.
38:55The fact that it's David Tyree, it's incredibly hard to believe.
39:00During practice that week, Tyree was dropping everything thrown to him
39:04so much that his fellow receivers were trying to console him and explain him,
39:09don't worry about it, you'll still have an impact in the game.
39:12It was as improbable a play as a...
39:15What a play by the quarterback.
39:21Everything about that play makes it the best play in Super Bowl history.
39:25Is there anybody that even debates that?
39:26I don't think you can put this number one because it was a little bit fluky.
39:31Ain't no fluke.
39:31Oh my gosh.
39:33A lot of great Super Bowl plays, Super Bowl moments, Super Bowl games were flukes.
39:39That doesn't mean anything.
39:41Ain't no fluke.
39:42With all the good pure football that we have on this list,
39:46with Holmes's catcher, Malcolm Butler's interception.
39:50Malcolm Butler's a fluke.
39:51He had no interceptions before that.
39:54How can you say Tyree's a fluke but Butler's not?
40:01To me, that's more impressive than one of these kind of flukier one-hit wonder plays.
40:07Despite a few naysayers,
40:09David Tyree's catch was the overwhelming choice as our number one Super Bowl play.
40:15It's the number one play in Super Bowl history because you still can't believe it happened.
40:21And the Giants with the most improbable win have won Super Bowl 42.
40:26Let alone with Rodney Harrison and all-pro safety trying to punch it out.
40:30How in the world did he do that?
40:32Let alone on a game-winning drive to win a Super Bowl.
40:36Is the equivalent of a Patriots fan saying,
40:39the Tyree catch is probably the greatest play in Super Bowl history.
40:45I don't want to acknowledge that that's the greatest play,
40:48but that's the greatest play.
