I've been watching a fair share of "America's Game" as of late, and inspired by ESPN's documentary "The Greatest Game Ever Played", I've decided on this poll.
Of the forty-two Super Bowls, which do you think was the best?
NOTE: I was only allowed thirty-four options, thus the reasoning behind excluding certain Super Bowls. I feel like I got rid of the eight least interesting of the forty-two games, my apologies if I dropped your choice.
Get to votin'!

Buffalo vs NY in 91. Man what a game. The two best teams from a season of great teams (LA Raiders, Cincy, Houston, SF, NY, Bills, Miami) and it ends with a phrase we have heard over and over "wide right"

Steelers vs. Cowboys II aka Super Bowl XIII. It was an epic Super Bowl between two of the greatest teams of all time. It had everything you want an epic Super Bowl to have, great plays by legends of the game, and even a bit of controversy. Dallas players to this day feel like they should have won that game, but the Steelers were just a bit better than the Cowboys that day.

Pats and Panthers in 2004.
As a Panther fan, I spent halftime pacing around outside nervous as hell because the Pats were rolling (thus missing the whole Janet Jackson fiasco.....until getting online later in the night).
I then jumped around as the comeback was on.
Foster's Superman dive into the endzone is still one of my favorite Panther moments of all time.
I then almost destroyed my living room when John Kasay kicked the ball out of bounds, because I just knew that Brady and crew could get into FG range easy and quickly from the 40.
And when Vinatari hit the game winner, I almost threw up.
But damnit, it was a great game. The best I've ever seen.

Titans/Rams Super Bowl 34
The way Steve McNair made that last drive happen by dodging tackles and being one year short hurts a lot.

Pats/Panthers, solely because of that incredible 4th quarter.

The NY football Giants robbing the Pats of legendary status was awesome, but for me it was John Elway's first Super Bowl win. As a Dan Marino fan, I had an appreciation for greats that had the knock of not being able to win big, and with every play you could feel Elway willing the Broncos to finally do it. I still remember his helicopter spin clear as day, and even though I'm not a Bronco's fan there's few football moments more memorable to me then "This ones for John!"

Was that the one where Rocky Bliar had the perfect Stuabach pass bounce off his numbers in the endzone?

Super Bowl 34, because of the intense back and forth action, as well as the epic last drive, which was one yard short of going into overtime.
#2 would be the Pats/Panthers game, as the first half was more of a rush, but as soon as the passing game came in, it got real good. Pats were for the first team to act on the passing and won as a result.

There were a lot of good Super Bowls.
Super Bowl XXXIV: Down to the one-yard line Super Bowl XXV: Wide Right
But, they don't quite stand up to last year's. The Patriots going in, looking to go 19-0 and become the second team to finish unbeaten. But here come the upstart Giants and somehow take down the almighty Patriots.
I loved Plax's comments (before he became a dumbass) that the Pats were only gonna score 17 points, then Brady was like, "Only 17? Is Plax gonna play defense." Then they proceed to only score 14 points.

So I don't think he'd be on the field with Staubach.

Super Bowl XX. Why? The Monsters of the Midway! The Black and Blues Brothers! THE SUPER BOWL SHUFFLE!
Sweetness, Jimmy Mac, The Fridge, Mongo, The Butler, Singletary, Chico, Hampton, Dent, Fencik, the list goes on! One of the most dominant and charismatic teams in the history of professional football.
And yes, I'm biased.
