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.

When: Saturday, September 13th, 2025, 6:30 PM Where: The Real Death Valley, Baton Rouge, LA Channel: ABC Spread: LSU -7.5 O/U: 46.5 This will be the 72nd time these schools meet up in this storied rivalry. This game always has a story, a moment to remember, so be ready, football fans! Florida Gators The Gators enter this contest with a record of 1-1. Florida opened up the season with a 55-0 win over Long Island University, but the Gators dropped a game last week to a talented South Florida team. This Gator offense is led by quarterback DJ Lagway. LSU fans remember Lagway all too well from last season. On the season, Lagway is 38/51, with 342 passing yards and 4 TDs. Jadan Baugh is the leader in the backfield. The leading pass catchers on this team are Vernell Brown III, Eugene Wilson III, and Hayden Hansen. The Gator defense is a solid unit. Jaden Robinson and Myles Graham are the leading linebackers. Tyreak Sapp is the leader on the defensive line. LSU Tigers The Tigers are coming off of a "disappointing" victory against Louisiana Tech. The Tigers have a chance to bury the Gators' dreams for the season in this game. This game being in Death Valley helps out the Tigers tremendously. The Tigers better be ready to get on the Gators early and often because this is an upset Gator team with a big upset on the mind. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tigers establish a running game? The leaders on this team need to get up. - Will the Tigers' defense keep up the red-hot start to the season? - Will Braelin Moore be back on the field? This is a mad Florida team who would love to upset the Tigers in this rivalry. Can the Tigers contain DJ Lagway? Fun Fact: Florida running back coach Jabar Juluke was born in New Orleans. He was the running back coach at LSU in 2016. Thank you for checking out my article. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
