I have the black and white version of that on my wall. We've become so pathetic that I resort to watching taped games from the 80's every January  :icon_frown:  I'll be watching the 1982 Championship game this Saturday.   :?

What was Riggo's quote?  Something like, "Reagan might be president, but today I'm King!"

Funny you should say that. I just finished watching Super Bowls XXII and XXVI on NFL Channel. Oh those were the days (big sigh).

Riggins had several colorful quotes.  To Sandra Day O'Connor he said- "Lighten up, Sandy baby", uttered moments before his head crashed down onto his plate in a drunken stupor.

After sitting out a full season in a contract dispute, he returned to the team saying "I'm bored, I'm broke, and I'm back."

I remember that Riggo run vividly. I was screaming and jumping up and down in front of the TV, which excited my terrier dog so greatly that he jumped up and bit my butt (literally).  If I hadn't been wearing blue jeans, my posterior would have been toast.

I do too.  That was an incredibly awesome game!  I get excited just remembering it!
