Game: Super Bowl XLII, Glendale, Arizona (2008)
 
People involved: Adrian Awasom, New York Giants
 
Incident: Being on injured reserve after breaking his neck during the regular season, the backup defensive end just had way too much time on his hands. This can only end poorly. Awasom partied like there was no tomorrow, and ended up getting arrested on suspicion of "extreme DUI," that means he was double the legal limit for all of you non-legal eagles.
 
Result: Awasom was sent home and couldn't even be with his team for one of the greatest upsets in Super Bowl history, as the Giants defeated the undefeated Patriots 17-14. At least he didn't have to pay his own airfare to the game like former Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey.

Also, unfortunately, Jeff Rodgers followed John Fox to Chicago so he won't be coordinating the Broncos' Special Teams unit this time around.

Cedrick Hardman, Oakland Raiders, SuperbowlXV

Didn't Hardman play in a Superbowl with the 49ers?

Edit:  Looked it up, no Superbowl appearance with the 49ers.  However, did you know our man Cedrick was the 9th player picked in the first round of the 1970 NFL draft.  Pretty impressive.

Not Super Bowl, but both Abner Haynes (Texans and Chiefs) and Bobby Smith (Buffalo Bills) played on American Football League championships prior to the Super Bowl.

Didn't Abner Haynes play for the Chiefs when they beat the Vikes in SB IV?

GO MEAN GREEN!
