So much awesome in that video. Dave Campo, Babe Laughinstock, Jimmy's shorts, Jerry's winking back before he had the face lift. The hand-painted graphics. The prediction of a week-one win right before that team went 1-15. Dom Capers, secondary coach. Dave Shula, QB coach. Great stuff.

Best thing they ever did was get rid of Shula as offensive coordinator. Boy was Don pissed at Jimmy for that.

I liked the reporting style back then. It was more reporting and informative and less TMZ than today's media.

Excellent observation. I thought the same thing.

Also for all the talk of Jimmy being this insufferable dictator who would cut you if your shoes came untied, it's good to see a reminder that Jimmy was in fact positivity and enthusiasm personified.
