Some of my favorite sports moments and memories have happened in Super Bowls.  Joe Namath making good on his prediction as the Jets win Super Bowl III, The Dolphins capping an undefeated season in '72, Ken Stabler leading the Raiders to a championship for coach John Madden, DAAAAA Bears stomping the Pats to cap the '85 season.  Acrobatic catches that helped the Steelers and Giants win titles.  But the Greatest moment for me hasn't happened yet...A Championship for The Cleveland Browns.  Someday, right?  In the meantime I'll keep stockpiling Super Bowl memories and tucking away trivial notes like the following that you want to use to sound like a genius to your friends on Sunday:
