When football was football

[Rogue Hawk]

I loved watching these videos when I was a kid. The best part is how the narration and music fit with the video.

Howard Cossell and Dandy Don, an interesting pair from days gone by.

Don't forget the Gipper. :thumbup:

Those are modern films. Try leather helmets. On second thought - DON'T try them. They don't work so good!

I remember taking my nephews to an NFL game, all they cared about is what brand shoes the players were wearing and who did dances! Glad I grew up when I did.

Remember when the game did not stop for TV commercials?

Pre-Internet, watching Howard's game highlights at halftime Monday night was about the only way to see what had happened on Sunday. I always looked forward to it.

If scientists ever use genetics to make the perfect linebacker, he would look like this.

My departed wife waited on Dandy Don years ago at the Westin Hotel in Seattle. And she just babbled as her heart melted. He was very nice to her and calmed her down so she could take his order.

I watched a live game of that Aussie Rules Footie a few yrs back in the ACT. Exciting stuff with a lot of to and fro.
I admit I didnt know just what was going on most of the time but it was a good watch.
I did get a mention later on from the SIL for cheering the "other team" at times.
