History of the Super Bowl Passing Yards Record

Over the next week and a half I'll be charting out the progressions of some of the Super Bowl Records. Why? Because we all want to learn. First Up, the Passing Yards Record.


The Passing Yards record of course starts like every other Super Bowl record, in Super Bowl I. The difference with this record and many others is that it didn't immediately fall, in fact Bart Starr's record of 250 stood for 12 years until Terry Bradshaw in XIII became the first QB to throw for for over 300, hitting for 314 total yards. This record was surpassed by both Joe Montana and Dan Marino in the Super Bowl XIX showdown, but it was Montana who set the new record at 331 yards. The record stood for 3 years when Doug Williams lead the Redskins to their Super Bowl XXII victory by throwing for 340 yards. Doug got to hold onto the record for one single year as Montana took back the record the next year when he threw for 357 yards in another win. Joe's record stood for 11 years until Kurt Warner's Rams won Super Bowl XXXIV after he had an MVP performance throwing for 414 yards. Warner's record has stood for ten years now with him potentially getting the chance to break it once again.

If you're looking for one big thing in common between all of these QBs, it's that they all won the Super Bowl that year. So, set the record number for yards in a Super Bowl, and get yourself a win.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
