Minneapolis — My finest Super Bowl moment did not occur when Tom Brady created a miracle on a victory drive. It did not occur on John Riggins’ sterling victory run or Lynn Swann’s flying catch or Marcus Allen spinning and breaking 74 yards to a touchdown.
It was not created by Vince Lombardi or Joe Namath or Bill Walsh or Tom Landry or Chuck Noll or Doug Williams or Joe Montana or John Elway.
Or even Peyton Manning!
My favorite Super Bowl moment occurred four years ago in New Jersey. And no coach nor player had a thing to do with it except exercise his responsibility to stand at attention with respect and listen to a magnificent rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.
