The boss man wanted to know now many Super Bowls I've now been to and if I had any favorites.
Tried to figure it out, and think this will be No.15. Should have been at Super Bowl XVII between the Redskins and Dolphins at the Rose Bowl, but it's the one I have no particular memory.
My first was the Steelers-Rams at the Rose Bowl in 1980, which probably remains my favorite. Rams gave them a great game, lead went back and forth. And, of course, it was my first.
After that, Super Bowls have a way of blurring together. Particularly since most of the games have been less than memorable.
Remember Phil Simms going nuts against Denver in Super Bowl XXI in 1987, also at the Rose Bowl, and Doug Williams doing likewise as the Redskins scored 35 consecutive points the next year in San Diego.John Elway finally winning one in 1998 in San Diego.
After awhile, you tend to remember more the location, which is why New Orleans and Miami will always be favorites, even if the game proves a dud. Bourbon Street can be a highlight regardless of the game. And it's always hard to beat the activity of South Beach.
