My worst Super Bowl Moment involved a blonde Mormon, a gas mask, a missing cigar box and Laura Bush. What was your worst Super Bowl moment?

We all know that Super Bowl Sunday is a corridor to sports glory and immortality. But for every hero there's a goat, and for every fourth-quarter comeback there's a sex-crazed coke binge.

More than one good man has perished in the pressure of the Super Bowl. Below is a list of the 10 worst moments in Super Bowl history, as voted on by no one:

10) Denver's second quarter, Super Bowl XXII
The announcers must've said it 20 times: no team has ever blown a 10-point lead in the Super Bowl. Denver immediately proceeded to allow Washington five consecutive touchdowns - in only 18 plays and six minutes. The Redskins posted 42 unanswered points, with 35 of them coming in that second quarter. But how could they be expected to stop the immortal Doug Williams and Timmy Smith?

9) Barrett Robbins on suicide watch, Super Bowl XXXVII
Robbins gets drunk and starts crying in some Mexican bar and receives national media attention. I do it and all I get is an intervention.

Two Raiders fans found Robbins, a Pro Bowl center for an all-time offense, two days before the game in the throes of a savage bender. The manic-depressive was drunk on tequila and weeping in some dive bar in Tijuana, Mexico. He spent the rest of that weekend in a mental ward on suicide watch, donning a padded room instead of shoulder pads on the biggest day of his life.

8) Eugene Robinson and the hard sell, Super Bowl XXXIII
If someone wants a definition of irony, give them this: Just hours after accepting the Bart Starr Award for displaying "high moral character", the starting safety for the Atlanta Falcons gets arrested for soliciting a prostitute.

Robinson was busted the night before the game for trying to get a hummer from a prostitute in Miami. He did start the next day for the Falcons, blowing deep coverage on Rod Smith's game-changing 80-yard touchdown for Denver.

7) Stanley Wilson's coke binge, Super Bowl XXIII
Don't judge Mr. Wilson. If you had the option of attending some boring team meeting or going back to your hotel room to start snorting and smoking coke, what would you do?

The night before Cincinnati was to face San Francisco, the Bengals starting fullback chose Option B. One of his teammates found him later that night, sweating and panting in the bathroom of a Holiday Inn (Are you a Super Bowl winner? No, but I did get coked out at a Holiday Inn Express last night).

Needless to say, Wilson didn't play the next day and the Bengals lost one of the most thrilling Super Bowls ever.

6) Garo Yepremian's limp wrist, Super Bowl VII
Bring this play up the next time that someone says that soccer players are better athletes than football players. Garo had his 42-yard attempt blocked, and instead of falling on the ball he picked it up and tried to throw it. The "pass" was intercepted and returned for a touchdown by Mike Bass.

I mean, the guy is on the NFL's only undefeated Super Bowl winner and he throws like an eight-year-old girl. There's just something not right about that.

5) John Kasay misses the field, Super Bowl XXXVIII
Any time a kicker misses the field with a kickoff, it's ludicrous. On top of giving the opponent the ball at the 40, the penalty should include his teammates being able to strip him down, tie him up in his little practice net, and pelt him with footballs until he bleeds from his ears. Just a suggestion.

It's bad enough to do it in a regular season game. But giving your opponent that field position when you're a minute away from sending the Super Bowl to overtime is downright unforgivable. I blame him for all of Tom Brady's success.

4) Thurman Thomas can't find his helmet, Super Bowl XXVI
We could do a Top 10 list just of Buffalo Bills moments, but this one is classic. If I can't find the remote or a bottle opener by kickoff of the Super Bowl I'm a dumbass. This guy couldn't find his head, so what does that make him?

3) Super Bowl XXXVIII enters the vortex
At SB X, Up With People redefined "white bread". At SB XXV, The New Kids on The Block "performed". And at Super Bowl XXVII, Michael Jackson swam in a sea of children. But no halftime show was as much of an unmitigated disaster as the one for Super Bowl XXXVII. Here's the checklist for a Halftime Show From Hell:

Having to explain to your seven-year-old nephew what's wrong with Janet Jackson's mutant nipple? Check.

Justin Timberlake lip-syncing? Check.

British streaker stripping down to a thong and running around on the field? Check.

Pyrotechnics leaving a large billow of smoke lingering above the field for the entire third quarter? Check.

2) Jackie Smith drops the pass, Super Bowl XIII
This may be the Bill Buckner Moment of football. Not in its overall significance to the franchise, but in the fact that it showed how a routine play, botched on the biggest stage, can stay with you for decades. Smith was wide open. I mean he was WIDE open. And the 38-year-old Cowboy dropped what would have been a game-tying touchdown. Dallas settled for a field goal, and lost to Pittsburgh by four.

1) Norwood lays foundation for Ray Finkle, Super Bowl XXV
Being from New York, I know a ton of Bills fans. I honestly can't say that I've ever heard one of them have an argument about football that didn't come to an abrupt end when the non-Buffalo fan starts shouting, "Wide right! Wide right!" I've seen it a hundred times. Hell, it could be a game between Houston and Tampa Bay, and if a kicker misses a field goal just wide and to the right, someone immediately cracks a joke about Scott Norwood.

This moment defines a franchise, a city, and one of the greatest would-be dynasty tragedies in sports history. Close, but not close enough. Harris and Thomas were Hall of Famers. Robbins and Robinson went to Pro Bowls. Janet Jackson was hot in the early nineties. But Scott Norwood serves as the greater example of how an entire career - an entire life - can be defined by what went wrong in the Super Bowl.

Honorable mention: Tim Krumrie's broken leg (SB XXIII); Neil O'Donnell-to-Larry Allen, part deux (SB XXX); The Fridge scores, but Payton doesn't (SB XX); The Minnesota Vikings (IV, VIII, IX, XI; Super Bowl V; Leon Lett (SB XXVII); Earl Morrall (SB III).
