Let's see, 37 Super Bowls, right? That's 2,220 minutes of ... well, the Big Games aren't always non-stop highlights. But they have given us the Fridge's carry, Dyson's dive, Riggins' blast and about 8 million Montana TD passes. Page 2 ranks the 100 most memorable Super Bowl moments. Care to guess who grabbed No. 1?

When we asked the Worldwide Leader's stable of football experts for their favorite Super Bowl moments, Marcus Allen's name kept coming up. But do you ever wonder if Insiders like Len Pasquarelli and John Clayton remember the same moments ex-players Joe Theismann, Sean Salisbury and others do?

Grounds Crew Guidelines Wild Thing
Jeff Nelson is in Texas. Karim Garcia is a Met. Simple transactions, right? WRONG! Page 2's Jim Caple says those deals create new problems for the grounds crews in Arlington and Queens.
 We wondered if Charlie Sheen was fakin' it as Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn in "Major League." So Page 3 went back to his early-'80s pitching days at Santa Monica High School to find out how wild he really was.

Now that talk of Peyton Manning's fairy-tale playoffs has ended, it's time for an appreciation of the greatest postseason quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era. And maybe, just maybe, the man who beat Manning in the AFC Championship Game ought to be considered. But is Tom Brady's 5-0 postseason record good enough to make our list?
10]  Roger Staubach, Dallas (18 games)
His statistics won't put him in the playoff record books, but the man was a winner -- first, last and in-between. Captain Comeback was spectacular in compiling a 12-6 postseason record.
9]  Joe Theismann, Washington (8 games)
Theismann's postseason QB rating of 91.4 is among the highest in NFL history, even if his other numbers weren't prolific. By expertly managing his postseason opportunities, he compiled a 6-2 record.
8]  Brett Favre, Green Bay (19 games)
Favre holds the record for consecutive playoff games with a TD pass (15 and counting), and moved into third place on the all-time playoff passing yardage list. Doesn't hurt that he won Super Bowl XXXI, either.
