I absolutely loved that and it made so much sense. Week 1 you can enjoy the 1st Sunday of football and not have to go into work the next day

I'd say Super Bowl VIII. I can't remember a single play from that Super Bowl. Many of the other snoozers like XXXV or 50 or VI have that one play that sticks out.
