Others could not come up with the requisite team jerseys. Former New York Jet Johnny Sample of Super Bowl III was unable to find his, and even the team could not help out: today's Jets jerseys are designed differently from those of 17 years ago. Golon finally had to commission a sporting-goods firm to make up a facsimile of a 1969 jersey...
Golon's biggest challenge, and only partial disappointment, was former Miami Dolphin Mercury Morris of Super Bowl VIII, now serving a 15-to-20-year prison sentence on drug charges in Florida.

Richard Dent, a particularly wanton defensive end, chose to work while he grumbled. Dent threatened to forgo the Super Bowl, but backed down when Ditka seemed inclined...
