Brent got his wish....23 years later!

Also the final game in St.Louis Cardinals history, before the move to Arizona.

Beautiful tribute to Walter Payton from the City of Angels.

No better man to do it than former Bear and Raider George Blanda who just passed away.

Wow......Walter Payton gets a send-off in his last regular season game by the Oakland Raiders and George Blanda!

I was never a huge fan of Al Davis, but that's pretty classy.....

Actually it was week 3 that was lost with replacements playing weeks 4-6.

Hard to believe the Vikes' two playoff road blowouts that year would have all been for naught with a Cardinal loss.

Musberger wanted Colts and Saints in the Super Bowl back in '87. He got his wish 23 years later.

The Tecmo Bowl graphics on this are fantastic. I loved football so much back then.

For the record, the linebacker that Largent locked up with at the line of scrimmage was Jack Del Rio

Some 20 years after this, the Indy Colts took home a Super Bowl title.

Three years later, at the Colts' expense, New Orleans won theirs.
