Message: [QUOTE="ninety-nine, post: 4473143, member: 5497"] I thought of one. I'm a little too young to have seen it live, but I've seen the highlight a thousand times. Super Bowl VII, Dolphins are shooting for a perfect season, up 14-0 very late in the game. Garo Yepremian tries to kick a field goal to put Miami up 17-0, but it gets blocked by a Washington player and bounces backward in the direction of the right sideline. Yepremian chases the ball down (good job so far), but instead of just letting himself be tackled by the defenders converging on him, he panics and randomly tries to throw a forward pass, which slips out of his hand, then bounces up into the air when he tries to catch the lost ball in his arms. Mike Bass catches it off the carom and runs it back for a TD to put Washington within 7. Miami hung on to win, but that could have been a league-history-altering blunder. [/QUOTE]
