HOW SUPER BOWL XXXIV MADE AN ICON OUT OF A GROCERY STORE CLERK ONE FOR THE AGES After going up 16–0 against the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV, Warner and the Rams looked poised to coast on their way to the Lombardi Trophy, but the late Steve McNair and the Titans had different plans. The Georgia Dome was rocking after two Eddie George touchdown runs, and a field goal brought the Titans level at 16–16, with just over two minutes of play remaining. In response, Warner dropped back and found receiver Isaac Bruce for a 73-yard touchdown, bringing the score to 23–16 with 1:54 left on the clock. But the Titans weren’t done fighting. Quickly moving the ball down the field, Titans quarterback Steve McNair found himself with a third and 5 inside the Rams 30-yard line with 22 seconds left. Scrambling around and fighting off two players trying to pull him down, McNair threw the ball to Kevin Dyson at the 10-yard line. A quick timeout left six seconds on the clock, and the Titans were one play away from tying the game. What proceeded was a play that will be forever known as “the tackle.” McNair found Dyson on a quick slant, and when he caught the ball at the 4-yard line, it appeared a touchdown was imminent. Suddenly, linebacker Mike Jones wrapped the receiver up at the hips. As he fell to the ground with the ball in his hand, Dyson extended his arm, but when he hit the AstroTurf, he was 1 yard short of the goal line. The Rams had pulled off the impossible, earning their first Super Bowl title ever.
Going into the 1999 NFL season, no one expected anything from the St. Louis Rams. When starting quarterback Trent Green went down with a gruesome knee injury in the preseason, ESPN The Magazine slated the Rams to be the worst team in the NFL that year. With few options, coach Vermeil named a virtually unknown player as his new starting quarterback, humbly stating in a press conference, “We will rally around Kurt Warner, and we’ll play good football.” Five years before his start, 22-year-old Kurt Warner was stocking shelves at a Hy-Vee grocery store in Cedar Falls, Iowa, for $5.50 an hour. However, he had amassed a whopping 16 snaps in the NFL prior to taking the reins for the 1999 season, and what proceeded to transpire on the field was utter pandemonium, giving the Rams the nickname “The Greatest Show on Turf.” This improbable season and the resulting MVP award for Warner set the stage for one of the most dramatic games in Super Bowl history.
Italian Cured Meat 101
For Air Compressor Room Design How you design the room that stores your air compressor affects performance almost as much as the system itself. Ambient conditions have a massive impact on efficiency and safety. With that in mind, here are our top five tips for air compressor room design.
The vast array of Italian cured meats, known collectively as salumi, on offer at delis and grocery stores are perfect for your next game-day or holiday spread. Here’s a guide to help you choose the best of the best. SALAMI While it sounds a lot like salumi, salami is a sub-category that includes any cured meat that is ground before being shaped. This includes classics like sopressata, the fennel-laced finocchiona, and mortadella, which is basically the best version of bologna you’ll ever eat. PROSCIUTTO, SPECK, AND COPPA Unlike salami, these cured meats are made from whole animal parts. In the case of prosciutto and speck, pigs’ hind legs are cured and aged. Speck is also smoked, lending additional flavor. Coppa comes from the top shoulder and is a meatier version of prosciutto. BRESAOLA Most salumi is pork-based, but bresaola is an exception. Consider this air- dried beef a refined take on jerky.
1. Put your compressor system in a dedicated room as close to its point of use as possible.
2. Maintain enough clearance height and floor space for easy installation and maintenance.
3. Allow for easy and lawful disposal of condensate.

5. Leave room for properly sized piping to prevent drops in air pressure and performance.
These are just a few of the considerations to keep in mind when finalizing your air compressor room layout. Our expert team will make sure your room and system work in harmony.
