I don't remember ever seeing an intentional safety in the NFL.

I saw Shula do it on MNF when I was a kid late '70s/early 80s

Pats have done it recently. Saints did it in 08 against the Chargers.

Bilichek definitely has done this. Snapped it over the head of the punter intentionally and it hit the uprights, IIRC

Among others, New England did it against Denver in the 2003 regular season (I think it was 03). It was a MNF game

Even brought up taking a free kick which would have made this the greatest Super Bowl of all time.

Janikowski for 75 yards to send it to OT.

I don't ever remember seeing so much non-called holding in the endzone on safety to let the clock run out.

I feel like I see them maybe once or twice a year at the college or pro level.

it's the smart call, Payton would've made it - oh wait your coach is an alien, sorry
