12. Barrett Robbins Disappears
This was one of the strangest Super Bowl stories of them all. Robbins went missing the night before Super Bowl XXXVI with no reasonable explanation of why. Most people thought the worst had transpired but then he finally reappeared. Mumbling incoherently, the Raiders had to take him off the roster and they lost the Super Bowl.

Rumors spread that he hadn’t taken his antidepression medication. However, this proved not to be the case. A treatment center diagnosed him with bipolar disorder. Police shot him three times when they arrested him for attempted murder in 2005.
