And then Jackie Smith had his first Super Bowl and he did this....he played well an entire career with the Cardinals, and established himself as a HoF candidate...but one mistake on the BIGGEST NFL STAGE sent him back to the Missouri netherlands. As the announcer said, "He's got to be the sickest man in America." Yep, he was. Me too. I watched that game live and remember the awful feeling in my guts. Just once in a lifetime I wanted a Cardinals player to do well. Nope, it was not going to happen that decade.

Then Larry Fitzgerald happened. All that JS did wrong at a SB was forgotten.

First, I remember the first play in that video. How could I not.....10 Cowboys couldn't take him down....lol.

Besides him being a great player, Jackie Smith was a a mans man. One of my all time Cardinals favorites.

As much as I hated the Cowboys....especially back then....my heart broke when he dropped that pass. If it was that bad for me, I can't imagine what it was like for him.

Jackie said that was his favorite play of his career. We can all guess which he probably thought was his worst.

He was one tough SOB.

Jackie Smith made it big with Hobie cat boats
after football

Jackie could also sing very well
Watch this. He was asked to sing on many
occasions.

National Anthem

Danny Boy for fallen Officers

WTH....I had no idea he could sing....maybe not a master at it, but far better than I would have expected.

tough luck Cardinals: hard to continue being a fan. This team gives you hope (Rams game) then has 2 home games (opportunities to make this season different than expected)where they were never really in the game. The Lions game was close-ish but the Lions were always in control Sept 29, 2024 15:31:03 GMT -7
