I was around 6 during Super Bowl XXVI so all I really remember is sitting in the corner watching the game and then going to school the next day where I drew a picture of Mark Rypien throwing a pass to Art Monk.
Closest thing I've had to winning a Super Bowl since then was when I started rooting for the Ravens along with the Skins during week 8 in 2000 when Dilfer came in for Tony Banks. There were more Raven games being shown in Atlanta then there were Redskin games so they became easier to follow on a game by game basis. The Redskins eventually became eliminated from the playoffs so I decided that I would root for the Ravens in the playoffs and low and behold they won the Super Bowl.
However even though I rooted for them as hard as I root for any team the experience seems sort of tainted.
