35 Days | My Top 10 Rated SB's
Rating the 10 best Super Bowl's I've seen in 140 characters or less.
In the spirit of Super Bowl Sunday, I went back in the time machine to revisit the Big Games’ of years past. I’ve been alive for 33 of the them. I remember about 27 of those 33. Since Rate Game’s review text box will limit each user’s (optional) Game Review to 140 characters (or less), I followed suit. Enjoy!
LI (2017) | 9.9 | Pats 34 - Falcons 28 in OT
Only OT in SB history. 28-3. Edelman’s double catch with Joe Buck and Aikman in stunned disbelief. Holding the .01 for when my Jets win.
XLII (2008) | 9.8 | Giants 17 - Pats 14
Tryee’s helmet catch. Pats undefeated season ruined. Rematch of their final regular season game. Historic Pats team falls short. Thank GOD.
LII (2018) | 9.7 | Eagles 41 - Pats 33
Philly Special. Dougie sun visor and Nicky Foles insane playoff run. Pure euphoria as Brady is strip sacked at end. JT redemption HT show.
XLIX (2015) | 9.7 | Pats 28 - Seahawks 24
RUN THE BALL! Brady gives Malcolm Butler his SB MVP truck. Legion of Boom’s undoing as coach Carrol helplessly chews gum. Feel for Marshawn.
XLIII (2009) | 9.7 | Steelers 27 - Cards 23
Big Ben to Santonio Holmes with :35 secs left. The Toe Tap seen round the world. Larry Fitz was INSANE. James Harrison 99 yd pick 6 at HT.
XLVI (2012) | 9.7 | Giants 21 - Pats 17
Eli does it AGAIN. Absolute dime to Manningham. Love seeing Brady lose at the hands of New York. Madonna’s bizarre HT show supporting cast.
XXXVIII (2004) | 9.6 | Pats 32 - Panthers 29
1st & 3rd Qtr’s = 0 points. 4th Q = 37 pts (!) Delhomme & Mush Mo play their asses off. Julius Peppers too. “Wardrobe Malfunction” HT show.
LVII (2023) | 9.5 | Chiefs 38 - Eagles 35
Sod Father puts everyone on skates. Bradberry admits the hold. Birds up 10 at HT w/ Brotherly Shove & dime to Brown. Mahomes Magic, his 2nd.
XLVII (2013) | 9.5 | Ravens 34 - 49ers 31
The Har-Bowl. Ray Lewis goes out on top. Flacco becomes UDel legend (my soph year). Power outage at HT for 22 mins. Kaep’s career peaks.
XXXIX (2005) | 9.4 | Pats 24 - Eagles 21
T.O. plays with broken ankle. McNabb & Big Red finally make SB. Brady wins his 3rd in 4 years. Pats dynasty begins. My hatred grows with it.
In case anyone is interested in doing their own, here’s a reference point below:
Whats your rate for 'The Perfect Season' 1972 Dolphins @ Super Bowl VII? #LarryBrownShutdown
Chiefs vs 49rs, I’d rate 4.5 but Usher HT show was such a banger immediate extra 2 points. Total: 6.5
