I love it when people assume "facts" about people they don't even know ...I don't care about "what-ifs" or managerial decisions. I saw the game. Wilson would have been out. My baseball bud from Boston was with me watching the game when the ball was hit. He was jumping up in celebration, that is until Buckner booted the ball. I'm sure you Sox fans are tired of hearing about Buckner, but history is what it is.
By the way, here's a list of Sports Biggest Chokes as selected by ESPN's expert panel. See who's number 1? I know, I know ... you know more than ESPN's expert panel
(To be clear, I'm quite sure this was before this year's Superbowl).

Wow, you think I am a Boston Red Sox fan? I overestimated you!
hmmm interesting. When Bonds was indicted and the Mitchell report came out, you told your students/players that you could understand the players doing it. Didnt blame them.
When Belichick does it, to keep up with everyone else and we know that other teams were doing it (Dallas and KC were at one point according to Jimmy Johnson) you want the guys balls.
So which is it?
I couldn't care less if you are or you aren't. You didn't mention the article though. Did you see Bob Stanley on the list?
YOU said I was a Sox fan, so apparently you could care less. As far as the article, I couldn't care less if Stanley is in it or not. He was just as responsible for the Sox losing that game as anybody. In fact, Marty Barrett himself said that he was to blame for the loss. Do some further reading and you will find plenty of articles that point to someone other than Buckner to blame. IIRC, ESPN did one of their "why you can't blame Buckner for the Sox losing the '86 Series" stories on it.
Then why did ESPN's experts pick Buckner as the number 1 choke? Here's the link to the article: ESPN.com - ESPN 25 - ESPN25: 25 Biggest Chokes
How bout this compromise.
The Giants win was one of the greatest upsets in Super Bowl History.
It was greater than the Rams loss to the Pats and is rivaled only by Namaths guarantee.
Can we agree on that or do I have to relive Red Sox tragedies over and over in here?

From your earlier post, it's obvious that you didn't know.
1. Page 105 of the Game Operations manual says: "No video recording devices of any kind are permitted to be in use in the coaches' booth, on the field, or in the locker room during the game." It later says: "All video shooting locations must be enclosed on all sides with a roof overhead."
2. And, a memo from Ray Anderson, NFL head of football operations, to head coaches and GMs on Sept. 6, 2006 said: "Video taping of any type, including but not limited to taping of an opponent’s offensive or defensive signals, is prohibited on the sidelines, in the coaches’ booth, in the locker room, or at any other locations accessible to club staff members during the game."
