Duane Thomas also wore number 33. However, if this is supposed to be Super Bowl XII between Dallas and Denver, this IS Tony Dorsett. This was Tony's rookie season.

The mind is a terrible thing...mine especially. LOL! Chin-up though...the Boyz won both of those games regardless of who was wearing number 33. ;)

The vitriol against Craig Morton, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback who was playing for Denver in this game, was unimaginable. My parents were living in Denver at this time and couldn't believe it, either. Many Denver fans were accusing him of throwing the game so the Cowboys could win...when in fact, he was playing on a gimpy hip he had injured during the regular season. Morton was a great QB, and I can remember when I was a kid hearing my dad screaming at the TV or radio for Coach Landry to pull Merrideth out and let Morton play when things weren't going well. It seemed like when Merrideth was struggling, Morton could come in off of the bench and would be hotter than a pistol. Then he winds up playing for the Broncos in their first Super Bowl appearance and loses to his old team...and catches the blame for it. LOL. Hey, the Broncos shot themselves in the foot during several more Super Bowl appearances after that and it took them 2 full decades before they could finally win one. But hey, such is life in the big city.

It may have come in a losing effort, but this is my favorite Super Bowl pic. DeSean Foster leaping into the end zone in what was a fantastic game!

This might shake-up a few of you youngsters...this was a very long long time ago, as in January 1970. This is Defensive Back Johnny Robinson of the Kansas City Chiefs who had intercepted a pass near the end of regulation of Super Bowl IV. This is my favorite Super Bowl picture for a number of reasons, beginning with the fact that I was a HUGE fan of the American Football League, and I followed the Chiefs very closely. But going even further, Super Bowl 4 marked the final Championship game between the American Football League and the National Football League before the two merged and has become what we enjoy today. The owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, Lamar Hunt, was the one who conceived the AFL, was it's primary founder, as well as a team owner. It was fitting for him that his team would win this final match between the two leagues, having appeared in the first one and lost to the Green Bay Packers. At the end of this era, the Super Bowl won-loss record between the two leagues was even at 2 apiece. The only NFL team to win this contest was Green Bay, who beat the Chiefs and Raiders in SB 1 and 2 respectively. SB 3 and 4 were won by the New York Jets vs the Baltimore Colts, and the Kansas City Chiefs vs the Minnesota Vikings (who were originally supposed to be an AFL team when the league first formed).
Neither the Jets or the Chiefs have made a return appearance to the Super Bowl since then, unfortunately. But this is a very historical and meaningful photograph to me, and it has to be my favorite Super Bowl picture.

After the final seconds ticked off of the SB III game clock and the Colts became the scourge of the NFL for allowing the up-start league to defeat them in the national spotlight. However, coach Shula and QB Earl Morrall would cross over to the other side and make the Dolphins a force to be reckoned with a few years later, which must have REALLY galled Colts owner Carroll Rosenbloom.
