Like most of their lists, it seems based on the question: Can we get a celebrity (a stretch in some cases) to serve as a talking head?

Thanks BD for the breakdown, I was wondering about that. Not much love for the AFL, except for the Heidi Game and SB III. I find the talking head celebrity thing annoying to say the least.BD Sullivan wrote:Doing a breakdown of the 70 games by decade, it shows that a grand total of 16 percent (11 of 70) of pre-merger games made the list:

Yea. A celebrity mentioned the game. Wow look at how embedded in pop culture we are. This makes the game more importantBD Sullivan wrote:Doing a breakdown of the 70 games by decade, it shows that a grand total of 16 percent (11 of 70) of pre-merger games made the list:

We were on the receiving end of it but the Marino fake spike was an embarrassing footnote, not really a great game. Miami followed up that game with a lossBD Sullivan wrote:1994: The Marino fake spike, which they could gush about.Retro Rider wrote:Rupert Patrick wrote: A few that I wasn't expecting:

2003: The death of Brett Favre's father as a backdrop made for great drama, but the game itself was a bore. This should have on a 100 Most Memorable Monents.
In the Coslet and Carroll era, the Jets blew a lot of leads. That game was one of them. It was not a bad game but the fake spike play has been tremendously overblown. To say the fake spike worked is to say Glenn was confused as that pass was thrown so quickly as to make most of the players on the field irrelevant. The footage does not make it look like Glenn was confused or hesitant. It just looks like he was beat.sheajets wrote: We were on the receiving end of it but the Marino fake spike was an embarrassing footnote, not really a great game.

I'm not sure the actual faking of the spike really had any impact on the outcome of the play either. Aaron Glenn, who would later become a really good corner, played hard the whole down but was burned. It happens.
Just another way to dump on the Jets I guess
The previous year I still haven't gotten over the Eric Allen game. 21-0 over Philly. Cunningham breaks his leg. How the hell do you let Bubby Brister and Rich Kotite turn into Brady/Belichick and have a 21 point comeback win.JWL wrote:In the Coslet and Carroll era, the Jets blew a lot of leads.
