replies: text: Seems that this article is using http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/history/entertainment which can be viewed by some as a a reliable, published source since it is from the NFL's official website. Unfortunately, since you cannot cite your own personal eyewitness account, you may need to find another different source to cite. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I did not intend to say that the NFL's information is "unreliable," but did want to point out some facts that I felt the NFL may have overlooked.  Yes, I relied on my personal eyewitness account.  There is also video evidence.  Search youtube for "Super Bowl VII pregame ceremonies, part 3 of 3" to see the video of the National Anthem.

message: I just wanted to point out that Garo's play was significant enough IMO to have a title on that section.  I mean, it was Washington's only score, it is one of the most famous bloopers in Super Bowl history (Leon Lett's fumble being a distant second), and it gave the kicker more celebrity than Norwood since it didn't cost their team the game.  Norwood's miss has it's own second level section, (AND it's own separate article), While Leon Lett has a whole section on his page devoted to his two big gaffes.  I won't add it back, but I figure the comment should be made, and to let others weigh in on the final decision. CodeCarpenter 14:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yepremian's fumble is universally known as "Garo's Gaffe." It is one of the most famous Super Bowl plays. Google "Garo's Gaffe." What comes up first? This article. Without a "Garo's Gaffe" section heading, the searcher will have to read almost the entire article to find the appropriate section. I think a "Garo's Gaffe" heading is appropriate. 65tosspowertrap 14:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The play certainly was significant, but it doesn't need it's own title in the summery section.  Currently, no other single play has it's own title in ANY Super Bowl article game summery, not even the Norwood incedent.  Like I said, Garo's Gaffe was just part of the game, and while it does warrant a detailed description (which it has), it does not warrent contradicting the formula that is used for every wikipedia Super Bowl article.  Furhtermore, the incedent is also mensioned in the opening paragraph, so I don't think anyone is going to have a hard time finding it.  Chainclaw 15:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am convinced.  I went through the 41 SBs, and "The Guarantee" is the only specific item title, and it is in the Pre-Game, not in the Game Summary.  Garo's page has a detail about the play including a title, but if throwing 5 TDs in one quarter does not have it's own title, then this play does not need one either.  IMO of course...

message: Twice someone has asserted that it's Mercury Morris uttering the famous "Damn!" after Garo's Gaffe. Mercury Morris's jersey number was 22. The jersey number of the player saying "Damn!" is 60. That is Dolphin's reserve guard Al Jenkins. 
Another note: because of the "creative (deceptive) editing" employed by NFL Films, you can't be sure that Garo's Gaffe was the play Jenkins was reacting to! It could have been a different play!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65tosspowertrap (talk • contribs) 16:18, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
