    Super Bowl 34 in Atlanta.

    Rams vs Titans.

    The "usual suspect" contenders had officially died off (Cowboys, Niners, Broncos, etc.) and Ray Lewis stabbed some nikka, and nobody expected EITHER of these squads to come even close to the Super Bowl so this was probably the least hyped Super Bowl of my lifetime.

    But the game was probably the best of my lifetime.


    For Falcon fans that are salty about us being 10 yards away from the Super Bowl last year, just imagine how Titans fans feel being less than 1 yard away from a ring...

    man dat 09 Celtics/Bulls 1st round series might've been da GOAT series not from da finals i've eva seen, so much excitement nd drama in all but 1 game Ben Gordon (who hasnt been da same since) zoned out in da series, Ray Allen had a random ass 51 point game D Rose in his 1st playoff series kicked our ass Noah boomin on Pierce so many highlights nd clutch shots from dat series

    ^^^ Probably my favorite win in Falcons history. All those years of gettin' punked by Young/Rice/Montana, etc.

    That ? pretty much ended that era for them. And nobody would've guessed it would be us behind the trigger.


    ? was like when Omar got killed on the Wire. The last lil ? you would think...

    That's what we're going through right now with the Pats but at least when y'all beat the 9ers they faded away. We beat the Pats in the 10 playoffs and they've only gotten better since smh.

    Also when Shaq & Penny beat the Bulls in Jordan's "45" year.

    People act like it didn't happen because Jordan was "rusty" and wearing the wrong number, etc, but the ? was a good ass series, and I was rooting for the youngsters to overtake the dominant vets.

    My favorite Philly sports team ever. The most fun I've had as a 76ers fan in my life. Sports has a funny way of letting you know how fast time flies. Jesus, that was 12 years ago??

    A lot of these are either

    A) not underrated

    Or

    B) just a chance for people to post their teams playoff wins
