The good news, in this case, is that the second editions tend to not stray too far from the originals, meaning history would dictate that we can expect something close to the hard-fought, 17-14 Giants victory that was laden with incredible moments. Super Bowl XIII — Pittsburgh 35, Dallas 31 (Jan. 21, 1979) First Matchup: Super Bowl X — Pittsburgh 21, Dallas 10 (Jan. 18, 1976) […]

Plenty of sporting events to fill the NFL void

February 11, 2011 Tom Comi
