One of the biggest games in the world, the NFL’s championship game, the Super Bowl, is ready to blow the roof off of the MetLife Stadium. The Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks will duke it out for the NFL’s top prize, the Vince Lombardi Trophy in a game that everyone, including the people that don’t care in the slightest, will hear about. Even if it is just the commercials that go online afterwards.
On the NFL’s biggest stage, the stars come out and they have a chance to secure their legacy in an instant. Whether the game is a shoot-out, a blow-out or a unbelievable upset, some plays stand out as some of the greatest the sport has ever seen. It is these plays that we celebrate here. Some are from the greats of the game, the likes of John Elway or Tom Brady.

Herbie, The Love Bug

When people speak of the possibility of alternate dimensions, they leave out the one closest to us all. We like to imagine a universe so similar to our own, nearly identical to the world in which we live if not for one difference. Maybe in one dimension, Bill Clinton was ousted from office, not just thrown up for impeachment. Maybe in another dimension, HD-DVD won the high-definition home-media war instead of Blu-ray. Or maybe, in some beautiful reality, Scott Norwood didn’t miss that field goal in the Super Bowl against the New York Giants. The possibilities are tantalizing because they are literally endless. In all the wonder and curiosity, however, most of us fail to recognize that there already exists another universe snuggled up tightly to ours,...

It is that time of year again. Yes, we have almost reached the Sunday afternoon when you can take advantage of empty streets and empty stores in the name of running errands, as millions of people gather around televisions in the name of watching the Super Bowl. Of course, you would be missing the game.
I have vague memories of the contests a few years prior, but my clearest full memory of watching the game goes back to 1984, when the Los Angeles Raiders dominated the Washington Redskins. I was cheering for the Raiders that day; I am not certain if that support was linked to the fact that the Raiders shared the name of my future high school team or to an early manifestation of my own hyper-political correctness. (Go find a respectful mascot, Washington!)
Regardless, the game did not keep my interest for long, as it was the first...
