Bo Jackson scores a touchdown. Bosworth doesn't stop him short. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz:boring:

Adrian Peterson (you've seen it, now see it again) runs a guy over.

I love the primal scream at the end of it. Then, as his reward, they put in freakin' Chester Taylor..


Any other overrated hyped up not-so-spectacular events in sports you want to diss?

1. They put in Chester Taylor...
who promptly bats the ball up in the air for the game-clinching INT the other way.

This has been a constant gripe against Childress ever since we got Peterson. He always takes him out when the game is on the line - when that is PRECISELY when you want that beast in there.

Now I understand that Peterson isn't at the same level of blitz pickup as Taylor. Chester is a real gem when it comes to being a complete back.

But Peterson is just otherworldly in his ability to take over a game if you just GIVE HIM THE FREAKING CHANCE.

2. I don't know if it is overrated or underrated but a bizarre one to say the least
I actually watched this game and I had a gut feeling the Saints would score on a crazy play at the last second of the game. Which I was right. They needed an extra point to force overtime and try to win there to keep their playoff hopes alive. Well... John Carney missed the extra point. I will never forget that game.

3. The Favre "drive" vs. San Francisco, September 27th

4. Montana's GW drive against the Bengals in the Super Bowl
Not so much overrated as it ignores the rest of the game - Ken Anderson brought the Bengals back from the dead in the second half of that game to take the lead. San Francisco damn near had the biggest choke in Super Bowl history that day.
