Two NFL vets share tales
from the Super Bowl
By George Dickie
©Zap2it
Marcus Allen’s memories of
his only Super Bowl appearance
are somewhat of a paradox.
On one hand, the events in
Tampa, Fla., the weekend of Jan.
21-22, 1984, during which his
Los Angeles Raiders routed the
Washington Redskins in Super
Bowl XVIII, 38-9, are a blur,
remembered by Allen the way
most remember their wedding
day. On the other hand, what
happened in the game itself still
seems very vivid to the now-CBS
commentator.
“The best way I can describe it
is: Just imagine a still painting,
and I'm the only figure in the
painting running around, and
everybody else is sort of standing
still, trying to stop me,” says
Allen, who will file reports from
the field on “The Super Bowl
Today” prior to the CBS broad
cast of Super Bowl XXXVIII live
from Reliant Stadium in Houston
on Sunday, Feb. 1. “There’s real
ly not much they can do about it.
I mean, my awareness was so
keen, and it was so vivid, and I
can see even the anguish on the
guys’ faces as I ran by them.”
Allen’s Zenlike state of mind
was such that “everything was
surreal to me,” he says. “When I
walked out on the field (and)
looked around, for some reason, I
was in such peace and very calm
and, really, nothing bothered me.
Anything that I found sort of
interesting or could have been
disturbing, I’d end up smiling at.
So I guess I was in a pretty good
frame of mind.”
The result was a good day for
Allen: 191 yards rushing on 20
carries, including a record-setting
74-yard run, two touchdowns,
and a Super Bowl victory that
was sewn up in the third quarter.
His efforts earned him MVP hon
ors.
Joe Thcismann. an analyst on
ESPN’s “Sunday Night Football”
and contributor to "Sunday NFL
Countdown.” was on the other
side of the field that day as the
starting quarterback for the
Redskins. Not surprisingly, he
has memories that aren’t quite as
happy. “The game was just full of
bizarre plays,” he says. "Our first
punt was blocked for a touch
down. I threw an interception at
the end of the half that was run
back for a touchdown. Marcus
Allen broke a 74-yard run for a
touchdown. Cliff Branch caught
a bomb for a touchdown. And we
couldn't get out of our own way.”
Theismann’s first experience
came a year earlier in Pasadena,
Calif., when the Redskins defeat
ed the Miami Dolphins, 27-17. in
Super Bowl XVII. He says,
“From the mental side of it, your
first game is one of real euphoria.
It’s very hard to describe to
someone what a Super Bowl is
like. I had this conversation with
Junior Seau before the San Diego
Chargers went on to play the San
Francisco 49ers (in 1995 in Super
Bowl XXIX). We did a game late
in the season for them, and 1 said,
‘l’d really like to tell you what
the Super Bowl is like, but 1 can’t
do justice to it.' And then after
the game, I saw him at a function.
I said, ‘What did you think of the
Super Bowl.’ He said, ‘You know,
you really can’t describe it. It’s
bigger than life. It’s bigger than a
football game. It’s an event.' And
that, to me, has always been the
best way to describe it.”
According to Theismann, the
Redskins came to Pasadena ready
to go to war. “I’ve always
described my role on that foot
ball team as more of a ringmaster
than a quarterback,” he says,
“because my wide receivers were

nicknamed ‘the Smurfs,’ my
offensive line were called ‘the
Hogs.’
“We had John Riggins at a
Friday night party before the
Super Bowl show up at (then-
Redskins owner Jack Kent)
Cooke’s party in white tails, top
hat and a cane ... and probably
ripped to the gills. And the line
backers, when we arrived in
Pasadena, all changed into Army
fatigues like they were ready to
ger to war. I mean, it was just a
very, very unique group of men.
I’ve always described that group
of guys as characters with char
acter.”
Also known for having charac
ters on their team, the Raiders
had a little ritual the team liked to
engage in during practice for a
big game. “The thing I remember
most," Allen says, “the now-GM,
Matt Millen (then a Raiders line
backer), was really staging a fight
with (Raiders offensive lineman)
Mickey Marvin because we were
sort of superstitious.
