NFL Throwbacks: San Francisco 49ers vs Green Bay Packers 1996 Playoffs

This game was my childhood (even though I was 15, whatever). We video taped this game, and even with 25% of the screen obscured because of our shitty TV, we watched this recording over and over again. But tonight, to see that Desmond Howard punt return for a touchdown - Packers make the 49ers go 3 and out, then run the punt back for a touchdown - I cried. Shit man, shit.



After this game, they tore the sod out of the field and got it all back in for the NFC Championship against Carolina a week later. Packer frenzy was so high in Wisconsin at that time, that, when the Packers offered to sell the dirt from the field, Packer fans demanded that the Packers take their f*cking money for some dirt. I wish I had some of that dirt. Sure, I'm a shareholder, but that dirt.
