I want to see a Super Bowl today where one team gets only water, while the other gets Gatorade, played outdoors in the sweltering humidity of New Orleans.
Then tell me the team with only water had a chance.
The Vikings defeated the browns in sub freezing temperature a week earlier, and then had to head to New Orleans, No, the Super Dome was not yet built.
Is it any wonder the Chiefs ran circles around the vaunted Purple Eaters?
The fix was in. The Chiefs had to win.
Just as the fix was in for thew Saints to go all the way when they won it all, with the referees ignoring the illegal hits and the fact they had QB hit contracts out for the defense to play dirty.
OK, OK, I am still a bit upset 52 some years later.
If I’m not mistaken, Joe Kapp got a dislocated shoulder in that game.
Yeah, and an energy drink was a great idea.
Bud Grant wouldn’t let his team have heaters in Minnesota and he damn sure wouldn’t have let them have Gatorade.
