Saturday Night You Sports Extra 2002

    In the old days, "Saturday Night Live" used to air a sports-themed clip show on the night before the Super Bowl. For the last couple of seasons, this annual tradition has disappeared from the airwaves. Since the regular broadcast is a repeat tonight, we at Saturday Night You thought we'd have our own Sports Extra and present our favorite sports-themed sketches from the past year!
