Forehead Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Since some folks are convinced we're going to follow the Giants like the last two times, let's see who can answer these questions. (Note, year is when Super Bowl took place, not year of regular season) During the Skins three Super Bowl victories, who was... The National Anthem Singer: 1983 1988 1992: Harry Connick Jr. (Redskins Anonymous) The Ceremonial Coin-Tosser: 1983 1988 1992 The Halftime Performance (List all): 1983 1988: Chubby Checker (nightbird) 1992: Gloria Estefan (ttr77) *Two others needed The Commentators (List All): 1983: Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen (RFK Lives) 1988: Al Michaels, Dan Dierdorf, Frank Gifford (ttr77) 1992: John Madden and Pat Summerall (PleaseBlitz) The Head Referee: 1983: Jerry Markbreit (BigRedskinDaddy) 1988 1992 I got all of these off IMDB.com, so it's fairly easy to cheat. I'd prefer no one do that though. I'll update the first post with correct answers, as well as who got them right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Anonymous Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 i know harry connick jr was the nat'l anthem in 1992. His crew moved thurman thomas' helmet; the rest is history. THAT'S ACTUALLY TRUE. Bill Polian hates Connick to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFK Lives Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I think he might have the wrong year but I think Olsen and Enberg did Super Bowl XVII in 1983. It would have been NBC's year since Madden and Sumerall did 49ers Bengals for CBS the year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And actually, Markbreit was the referee....in 1983, so he had good answers, just wrong years. I'll give him credit for that one, how many people are going to be able to pull a referee? I'm impressed a name was even thrown out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always swore he was a Cowboys fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
