MARK CRAIG'S TOP 10 NFL MOMENTS IN 2007

10. Kevin Everett walks again.

The Bills TE suffered a severe spinal cord injury during a game Sept. 9. Four months later, he returned to Ralph Wilson Stadium as a visitor. On his own two legs.

9. Falcons coach Petrino quits.

Bobby Petrino slithered out of town without addressing his players. That night, he was in Arkansas leading the Hog Call during a press conference. Disgusting!

8. Romo bounces back.

Last season ended with his botched hold on a FG in the playoffs. This year ends with the Cowboys seeded No. 1. Nice rebound, Tony.

7. Pacman suspended for year.

Titans CB Pacman Jones encapsulates all that can go wrong with the modern NFL player. The arrogance of extreme wealth, the hell-raising posse, the run-ins with police. Commissioner Roger Goodell made Jones a perfect example.

6. Vick gets 23 months in jail.

We might never see another superstar of this magnitude fall as far and fast as Michael Vick. How many of us thought early on that Vick would lose basically everything?

5. Sean Taylor murdered.

The Redskins safety was shot during a burglary at his home in Miami. His grief-stricken teammates barely functioned in a loss to Buffalo, then won three consecutive games.

4. From 'Spygate' to 16-0?

Patriots coach Bill Belichick was punished for stealing the Jets' signals in Week 1, but he's getting the last laugh on the brink of a historic season.

3. Dungy, Manning win it all.

The look of pure joy and relief on the faces of Colts coach Tony Dungy and QB Peyton Manning the morning after they won the Super Bowl: priceless.

2. Peterson to 'Purple Jesus'.

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson blew away the Bears for 224 yards, then had an NFL-record 296 against San Diego. My favorite: A broken play turned into an 8-yard how'd-he-do-that TD vs. the Bears at home.

1. Brett Favre's 421st TD pass.

The record breaker at the Dome was vintage Favre. A glance to the receiver changes the play. A sprint to the tight end, changing his route. To the shotgun as the ball is snapped in time. Fastball through the second window on the slant to Greg Jennings. Touchdown.
