Terry Bradshaw Flexing

This tremendous photograph was taken right at the moment that Terry Bradshaw was preparing for Super Bowl XIII against the Dallas Cowboys. Terry’s confidence must have been one of the reasons that helped him win with his team in both 1975 and 1976. Of course, not everyone had something nice to say about Terry and Cowboys linebacker Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson prior to the game. This is what Thomas had to say, “Bradshaw couldn’t spell “cat” if he spotted the C and the A”. Instead of engaging with Thomas, Terry decided to leave it all on the field. He ended up passing for four touchdowns, the first time this ever happened in Super Bowl history. The Steelers finished with a 35-31 victory, defeating the Rams in Super Bowl XIV, and went on to become the first four-time champions in league history.

Bobby Orr Flying

Bobby Orr is a Boston Bruins Hall of Fame defenseman, and he is the reason behind this iconic photo. During the 1970 NHL Stanley Cup Finals, it was over time in Game 4 when Bobby Orr delivered the game-winning goal for the Bruins. The opposing team’s defense-man accidentally tripped Bobby seconds after the goal. This was the result and the photo instantly became one of the most famous images in NHL history and also was very symbolic to Orr’s career.
