, the weeks leading up to the Big Game has been super-charged with pressure. Most top athletes can handle the stress of the career-defining moment.Some stories are funny. In the first Super Bowl, little used wide receiver Max McGee had spent the entire night out on the town prior to the game. He did not expect to play, having caught only four passes on the season. He told the starter, Boyd Dowler, that “I hope you don’t get hurt. I’m not in very good shape,” a reference to his massive hangover.
Running back Stanley Wilson of the Cincinnati Bengals stands as one of the big disappointments. On the night before the game, the team gathered for a final meeting at their hotel. Wilson did not make the meeting. One of the stranger disappearing acts was that of Oakland Raiders center Barrett Robbins. He was set to be a key part of the Raiders offensive line in Super Bowl XXXVII. Two days before the game, he was dropped off at the team hotel. His wife remained in the hired car, heading ot the hotel where the players’ families were staying.
In 1999, Atlanta Falcons safety Eugene Robinson received the Bart Starr Achievement Award, for high moral character from a Christian group on Super Bowl eve.
