In My Super Bowl Era: My Top Five Most Memorable Super Bowl Moments

Marcelo Unda • February 7, 2024

We've finally reached the end of the football season. We are just days away from the Super Bowl Big Game.  I find it funny that content creators with shows are not allowed to say SB because the NFL has trademark the name and can easily draw up a lawsuit, like it's 22 Power, run up the gut and on top of your desk. The playoffs were very exciting on both sides. We saw drama. We had heartbreak. We witness greatness. It's a sad to see the season end, but I am feeling excited to see this year's matchup between the San Fransisco 49ers vs Kansas City Chiefs.

Super Bowl Moments

I was happy to see this come across my timeline this morning. Every year I tried to go back and watch the Saints Super Bowl go on to win the game vs the Colts in between the 2 week break period prior to the Super Bowl Big Game. Some great memories when this happen. I think every fan remembers where they were, and that feeling of jubilation when it was finished. 

I was a Junior at Southern Mississippi, and two of my friends from home were with me to watch the game at a Super Bowl party my fraternity was hosting. I had just turned 21 few months before. My two buddies were only 20, and excited to see what the Saints will do in this game. After the confetti fell & Drew Brees was announced the MVP. EVERYONE in Hattiesburg celebrated. in 2009, the place to be was at Mugshots ( of course before the original Mugshots burned down. obviously for insurance money so they could build a bigger and more family friendly location off of Hardy Rd to soon begin their franchise expansion).

I remember getting my hometown buddies in with me along with everyone who was at USM pack out the place while the DJ blared Stand Up and Get Crunk the entire night. Once you are in we couldn't just be standing there like schmucks with no celebratory beers, but at this time I was broke and still planning on deciding on what I want to do when I grow up (still thinking about to this day). I will never forget my two friends telling me to use my parents credit card to start a bar tab for the three of us. In my head, No Way. I couldn't do that to my parents. They always trusted me to never use this credit card carelessly, and I was always responsible with it. My best friend, my best man in my wedding, put his hand on my shoulder and looked me straight in my eyes and told me. Just tell them the Saints won the Super Bowl. (i am not crossing this one out Goodell! This was a quote and you shouldn't be allowed to come after me for this one. Im also not a lawyer so I just assume I am right). 

That line right there was enough for me to swipe the Bucket o' Beers and $2 shots for a bar tab who at the time thought was extremely high, but likely was completely nothing. Listen me and my friends did stupid and dumb stuff all the time. Those stories I will not share on this here today. lol, but we all have those times in our life we did what our friends told us to do.  . I still remember telling my dad when he asked why: Because the Saints won! Him smile and laugh and we still share that to this day.



My Top 5 Super Bowl Moments in my Football Era

In fun with all the festivities going on this week leading up to the Big Game. I wanted to go back and think of my favorite Super Bowl Moments since I started watching football.

I decided I will not include the pick-6 by the Saints as i've already discuss and don't want to by bias (it's probably number 1 to be honest. The first Super Bowl match I remember was between the Cowboys and Steelers that happen on January 28, 1996. This will be the timeline I will be using for my list. So let's begin:

๏ปฟ

5. Devin Hester's Opening Kickoff Hester had been doing this all year, and the Colts were stupid enough to kick it to him. Shoutout to Devin Hester. He's currenlty a finalist for the Pro Footbal Hall of Fame, and should get in this year. 4. Malcolm Butler's interception at the goalline. An instant classic. Jaw dropping, what the hell just happen moment that everyone shared at the same time. A giant, What If...?, in Russell Wilson's career. 3. Ben Rothleisberger's Final Drive. Go back and watch this Super Bowl again. Filled with incredible highlights. This was a back and forth heavyweight title fight. The Cardinals had the lead but just gave too much time for the Steelers to get down the field. Santonio Holmes toe tap in the endzone, in my opinion, does not get enough love as a moment in football history. 2. David Tyree Helmet Catch The Giants playing spoiler to the 17-0 Patriots. Showing no quit and Eli Manning having the poise to deliver this ball to David Tyree who was not a household name, but will remain legendary for this moment in Giant and NFL history. 1. Brady Comeback 28-3 The GOAT conversation was cemented. The world was in Aww. We witness greatness. An unbelievable achievement. Tom Brady secures his 5th Super Bowl. Honorable Mentions: this could have honestly been 5, but I didn't want to be bias. 9 year old me from MS watching Brett Favre from MS in New Orleans throw a Super Bowl pass and him taking off his helmet running around goes down as one of my favorites. John Elway upsets the Packers to win his first Super Bowl. Risking it all! it's what this game is all about. Philly Special. Such a great play design. Cooler Name. Get to do that with your backup QB and win vs Tom Brady.

There you have my favorite Super Bowl Moments. Feel free to share your favorite moments during your NFL fandom.

Saints Pregame Guide: Lions

By Kaden Arkeder • September 11, 2026
It is week one folks, we made it to the 2026 season! This is the first season in a while where personally I feel optimistic going into the season thanks to Tyler Shough and what the Saints were able to show at the end of the 2025 season. Coupled with what the Saints did in the offseason in free agency and the draft the Saints and Saints fans should feel like the team has a real shot at winning the division and making the playoffs. Their first obstacle they will have to overcome on their path to accomplishing the goal is the Detroit Lions. The Lions will prove to be a good litmus test for the Saints in week one. The Lions have been a championship contender the last few years under the stewardship of Dan Campbell and will look to continue their fortune by taking care of business at home against the Saints. The Saints however are not facing the Lions at their peak as they finished last season with a 9-8 win loss record after being a double digit win team the two prior seasons. The Lions will also not have at least two key players in their secondary as both Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph are on injured reserve while two of their corners are on the injury report albeit listed as full participants as I am writing this. So the Saints will look to capitalize through the passing game with those key players out for this matchup. I expect Chris Olave to be targeted early and often in this game and for the role players around him to come up big on some key plays throughout the game. Speaking of role players I am curious to see if either or both of the rookie receivers in Barion Brown and Bryce Lance have any big moments in the game after having a great offseason and preseason. Outside of the rookie receivers I am curious to see if Juwan Johnson will be able to build on the productive season he had last year. With the absence of Jordyn Tyson to begin the season there should be plenty of opportunity for targets in the passing game outside of Chris Olave’s share. In regards to the running game I expect the Saints to give Etienne a heavy workload against the Lions if Kamara is not active for the game but there is optimism Kamara is ahead of schedule and could play against the Lions. I will be very interested to see how Etienne does in his debut with the team and how he will be utilized in the offense. There was talk during training camp the Saints have a package with both Etienne and Kamara on the field so if both are active I will be keeping an eye out for that personnel package. The Saints will look to start off the season strong on the ground after being one of the least effective teams running the ball last season. Hopefully the addition of David Edwards and Etienne combined with Kellen Moore along with most of the players being in year two of Kellen Moore’s system will aid them in running the ball better this season. Adin Hutchinson will look to be the main challenge the offensive line will face against the Lions defensive line as he had a standout 2025 campaign with 14.5 sacks along with an interception. If the Saints young tackles in Kelvin Banks and Taliese Fuaga are able to hold up well against Hutchinson they should be able to hold up well against the best edge rushers for the rest of the season. On the defensive side of the ball this will be very much a good challenge for them as the Lions have some marquee players on offense the defense will be tasked with slowing down. Amon Ra St. Brown and Jhamyr Gibbs are the two skill position players to key in on for the Saints in this game but role players like Sam LaPorta and Jameson Williams can absolutely be a difference maker for the Lions on any given Sunday. I think my two favorite matchups on this side of the ball will be watching Chase Young against Penei Sewell and the Saints young secondary against Amon Ra St. Brown. Chase Young had ten sacks in twelve games last season and will look to continue this success against one of the league’s best tackles in Penei Sewell. Unfortunately his running mate in Cameron Jordan will be unavailable in this game so look for a steady rotation at edge opposite of Chase Young throughout the game. Amon Ra St. Brown is the type of receiver Jared Goff looks for early and often throughout the game and can be moved around their offensive formations even though he plays primarily in the slot. How the Saints plan to contain or slow down Amon Ra will be fascinating to watch. Overall, I expect this to be a close game between the Saints and Lions where both teams should have ample opportunities to put up points against each other. There are so many little story lines to follow as the Saints start the regular season and in this game I can’t wait to follow. Week one usually has a fair amount of chaos to the games so you can never discount a crazy outcome here or elsewhere throughout the league. There should be plenty to discuss coming out of week one. Alright enough from me, talk to you all on the other side and geaux Saints!
