Longtime football writer Rick Gosselin compiled a list of his “Top 50 Greatest Super Bowl Moments” for the “Talk of Fame” network.

He had the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl LI comeback against the Atlanta Falcons after trailing 28-3 as the top moment. It was followed by the David Tyree helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII.

When it comes to moments that involve the Steelers, here’s what he listed.

3. Ben Roethlisberger’s TD pass to Santonio Holmes. (SB XLIII)

8. Lynn Swann’s catches. (SB X)

11. James Harrison’s interception. (SB XLIII)

26. Jackie Smith’s drop. (SB XIII)

48. Larry Brown’s interception of Neil O’Donnell. (SB XXX)

49. Ticket fiasco at Cowboys Stadium. (SB XLV)

In the words of Samuel L. Jackson in “Pulp Fiction” …

Hmm. I have no recollection of Nos. 48 or 49. Wanna help me out?

Maybe all those years of therapy paid off.

So how could we replace those entries? Are there any other Steelers-related snapshots that come to mind?

That’s one. How about when Pete Rozelle handed Art Rooney the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the first time after the team won Super Bowl IX.

Also, Harrison’s 100-yard interception is the greatest play in Super Bowl history.

Period.

If the Arizona Cardinals score on that sequence, the Steelers go into halftime trailing 14-10. Instead, they ended the first 30 minutes up 17-7 and went on to win.

Plus, the unbelievable run after the catch was a moment unlike any other.

I’d vault that to No. 1.

OK, at least to No. 3, where Holmes is.

Then you can move Holmes to No. 8 and Swann to No. 11 if you want.

Now, if I were Gosselin, I’d have worked in Willie Parker from Super Bowl XL.

And I maybe would’ve given a little love to Terry Bradshaw and John Stallworth from Super Bowl XIV.

But who am I to quibble?

Just so long as Clay Matthews’ forced fumble of Rashard Mendenhall didn’t make the list, I’ll be OK.

Yeah. Still bitter.

I guess that therapy wasn’t so effective after all, huh?
