1975: My beloved Cowboys were taking in the hated Vikings in the playoffs. In the closing seconds Staubach throws up the ball and exclaims 'Hail Mary" and Drew Pearson "gets himself open" and catches it for a TD

I have a buddy who's a Viking fan, and to this day if anyone mentions that game to him, he's suddenly like a Sox fan talking about Buckner in game six.  

My father hated football, and especially any Ohio team, be it the Bengals, Browns or OSU.  So, we didn't watch football in my house growing up.  After they divorced I was finally free to watch it, and one of the first games I remember watching was that Raider SB in '77.   I watched Bengal games from about that point on, but my first memory was of a game I attended in 1981.  They played the Broncos and rolled up 500+ yards in offense that day for another W in the SB season.  Many years later I got to meet Kenny Anderson and speak with him about the game.
