Show Notes
In 1983, John Riggins ran for a then Super Bowl record 166 yards and a key touchdown as Washington beat Miami to win SB XVII.
In 2000, Kevin Dyson's stretch for the endzone came up just a little short thanks to a game saving tackle by Mike Jones, preserving the win for St. Louis in Super Bowl XXXIV.
In 1996, Magic Johnson returned to the NBA after a four-year hiatus following his announcement he had HIV.
And in 2018, James Harden scored 60 points in the first 60-point triple double in the NBA. Luka Doncic equaled it in 2022.
