John Clayton's Top 10 Super Bowl Plays

The Professor ranks his top 10 Super Bowl plays of all-time.  Three involve the Steelers, #1 is the James Harrison return from last year, #3 is Lynn Swann’s TD catch in Super Bowl X, and fucking Neil O’Donnell blowing Super Bowl XXX and making Larry Brown a very wealthy man.

Lots of criticism out there for omitting the Santonio Holmes game-winner, also from last year.  It was a great catch at the greatest of time, but Harrison stole the show, and if I had to pick one, I’d go with the Harrison return.  So there.
