watched in person as Alan Ameche barreled forward to

1962 NFL title loss in Yankee Stadium,
in Arctic conditions, to the Lombardi Packers in1962; who watched
through all of the lean years of the 1960s and 1970s; and who

maybe he misses," before Scott Norwood hit wide and the Giants beat
the Bills in Super Bowl XX:
Enjoy this one, Dad - one of the great sports upsets of all
time.
