Aside from watching all of the experts pick the Raiders (did they learn nothing from the Giants/Ravens matchup a few years ago?), the best moment in the hours of pre-Super Bowl coverage had to be Warren Moon’s explanation on ESPN that he would have had several Super Bowl rings if he hadn’t had so many teammates who sucked.
On the one hand, it’s fascinating to see how driven many of these athletes are to win a Super Bowl, but a little scary at the same time to see someone like Tom Jackson intone year in and year out that his failure to win a Super Bowl ring will haunt him for the rest of his life (and like Moon, Jackson has no problem blaming his teammates who — at least according to him — were more interested in partying than preparing for the two Super Bowls he played in and lost).
