Well #2 is in and I guess you can't complain when you've won 3 and had 2 of them rated among the top 6 of all time:
2. Super Bowl XXXVI: New England 20, St. Louis 17:
Adam Vinatieri's 48-yard field goal as time expired gave the New England Patriots their first Super Bowl title. The Rams outgained the Patriots 427-267 in total yards, but the Patriots forced three turnovers, which resulted in 17 points, while committing no turnovers.
MVP: Tom Brady, QB, New England
XXXVI will alway be my favorite, except or course for the next one.....
I wish they had chosen someone other than Schefter to recall XXXVI. Yes, it was the first Superbowl after 911, and yes it was held in a venue that years later came to symbolize the devastation of Katrina, but they actually played a game that was good enough to be ranked one of the best ever. It would have been OK to give that at least equal time amongst his anguished ramblings.
No. 2: Patriots prevail on unforgettable day
By Adam Schefter
Special to SuperBowl.com
(Jan. 26, 2006) -- In the first post-9/11 Super Bowl, Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans, chain-link fences replaced pomp and pageantry. Chain-link fences were everywhere.
They surrounded the parking structures around the Superdome. They surrounded every entrance into the Superdome. On the way into the Superdome, every fan, every reporter, had to walk through the maze of them.
Chain-link fences. Everywhere.
Security measures did not stop there. Concrete barriers were erected near the Superdome and near the chain-link fences. There were as many concrete barriers as uniformed policemen.
Back then, the site of concrete barriers was rare; now it is commonplace. We see them at airports, or in front of temples, or near the sites that somebody thinks would be terrorist targets. Around the Superdome, there were a slew of them.
Concrete barriers. Everywhere.
This was one of the first glimpses of a major sporting event -- the most major sports event there is -- in the post-9/11 world. The world had changed, and so had the Super Bowl.
Everything about one of the finest Super Bowls ever played -- New England 20, St. Louis 17 -- was somber, other than the game itself.
A giant flag, the biggest flag anyone had ever seen, was unfurled in the shape of the United States on the field before the opening kickoff.
Paul McCartney sang Freedom, in only the way he could. Mariah Carey performed the national anthem, in only the way she could. While she sang, the lights in the Superdome were turned down and fans in the Superdome held red, white and blue glow sticks.
This was a tribute to our country, the strength and resiliency of it. But really, to me, it was more a tribute to the dead...."
