Is the 1998 MNF vs. Packers in GB AKA "The Randy Moss coming out party" game on there? That is probably my all time favorite memory as a Vikings fan.

#2 would be the 2009 Favre pass to Greg Louis to beat the 49ers on the last play of the game. Still the single greatest play I've ever seen.

Good stuff.
