Vince Ferragamo led the Los Angeles Rams to their first Super Bowl in franchise history on January 20, 1980 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena CA. It was what he describes as a “Cinderella Season”:
“For me, playing in Super Bowl XIV was a dream come true. 1979 was a Cinderella Season for us and we were facing off against the Steelers. We had a tremendous season making it to the first ever Super Bowl in Rams history. We played a great game and surprised a lot of people. In this shot, we had just completed a long drive for a touchdown and I was so excited that when I jumped, it felt like someone was lifting me up. We didn’t win the game, but it was still one of the greatest days of my life…”

Born April 24, 1954 in Torrance, CA

Marty really looks mad in this picture and his memory explains why. Lyons was a member of the famed Sack Exchange that featured Mark Gastineau and Joe Klecko. Not all memories are good memories — but this one shows the intensity of the NFL game and season and how losing is not an option:
“It was a typical January day in Cleveland, cold, damp, and a strong breeze coming off the lake. What a game!! We were winning most of the afternoon until the 4th quarter. Mistakes and penalties on our part allowed Cleveland back in the game, tying the game in the 4th quarter. No score in the 1st overtime, and a field goal by Cleveland in the second overtime secured a victory for the Browns. A great comeback for the Browns, a disappointing loss for the Jets. Boy was it a long off-season after that game!!!”

All Raider fans remember “The Ghost”, Dave Casper. He played his college ball at Notre Dame and was drafted by the Raiders in 1974. In 2002 he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the 13th Raider to be inducted.
Here is a memory from Casper from one of the most memorable games of his career, the 1977 AFC Divisional Playoffs vs the Baltimore Colts:
“A picture of me alone is rare. I was usually blocking or trying to catch passes and in a crowd. This is how I dressed for games, a helmet with no bar in front of my eyes. My nose bled often, I wore the same QB shoulder pads for 11 years and two smaller thigh pads. It was work, but fun, pain, but pleasure… when we won with Ken Stabler as QB, Madden as coach, and Fred B., Cliff, and our defense, we won often.”

Everyone remembers this play, Eagles fans — and especially Giants fans. Quarterback Joe Pisarcik needed to take one more snap and kneel with the ball to preserve a 17-12 Giant upset. Instead he attempted to hand off to Lary Csonka and fumbled, allowing Edwards to pick up the ball and run 26 yards for the game winning touchdown.
No one remembers it better than Herm:
“Every play of every game is important. Maybe no play was bigger during the entire 1978 season than this one. When Joe Pisarcik turned for the handoff and the ball hit the turf, I immediately thought, “I’ve gotta get this thing on the first bounce.” Normally you’d just fall on the football, but I knew if I could field it cleanly I was going to score. Sure enough, I got it on the first bounce and scored. I never could have imagined I’d ever be involved in a play like the “Miracle of the Meadowlands.”

Barry Sanders is still regarded as one of the most prolific running backs in the history of the NFL. Sanders is known for his on and off field humility. He was rarely seen celebrating on the feel and he never spiked the ball after a touchdown.

To this day, Barry Sanders is one of the most respected running backs in NFL history. 1997 was his best season in the NFL, although he gained only 53 yards on 25 carries in the first two mobile games of the season. He became only the third player in NFL history to rush for over 2000 yards, and the first since O.J. Simpson. That year he shared the NFL most valuable player award with Brett Favre.
Barry was always concerned more about his teammates than himself — you can tell by the memory he wrote of that night on December 21, 1997:
“The thing I remember most about that game was how much my lineman wanted me to get 2000yds, so I really wanted to get it for them. To actually break 2000 on a long run that sealed the game against the Jets and got us into the Playoffs made it very sweet. That was a special group of guys and I was proud to share that moment with them.”
One of the most memorable moments of Barry’s career is captured in one single piece of memorabilia. Barry’s hand written memory says it all — and now you have your chance to write your memory below of this event — and you could win this amazing piece of memorabilia.
