What's a general piece of football watching nostalgia that you'll always cherish?

[MarionBarberThe4th]

for example I really miss bermans fastest three Minutes. I fondly remember watching the highlights with the epic music and the drama they'd build(Bc back then you really don't know all the results already)with the "tiiick tick- tick- tick - tick- tick -tick


And the old fox graphic and music with summeral and maddens voices is just football to me

Loved madden. He did such a great job of educating fans and pointing out the grunts in the trenches who don't always get the praise they deserve

He was also just fun. The rest of the guys are too serious and grudens cornball phony shtick isn't welcoming to a broadcast

Summerall and Madden. Berman and the gang on NFL Primetime from 90 to about 95ish (after that, he became holier than thou with his social justice warrior persona). Dick Enberg was another I liked. Verne Lundquist.

CAn you expound on Berman being a sjw?

Berman's little skit got old 20 years ago. He is beyond annoying and listening to him try and call a game is even more embarrassing. He is one of the reasons that I don't watch ESPN anymore.

Madden and Pat were great!

Brent Musberger opening the NFL Today by saying "you are looking live" at all of the home team stadiums. It would always get me fired up for the one game we would get back then.

Definitely Madden with his pen.

Madden absolutely adored Larry Allen. He was already calling Larry the best offensive lineman in football in just his second season. I will never forget his phrase a couple times every game "Did you see Larry Allen!!" I really enjoyed watching Madden's replays of Larry. He never brought attention to himself so I'm so glad Madden did it for him.

Hank Williams MNF song bahaha. Beats the "Oh Sunday Night" lol. Love Madden and Sumerrall. A time when having your TV full blast was worth doing.

 

[JD_KaPow]

Well, that one led me to this one, where Madden compares Garrett to Haley, at the 1:25 mark.

 

[Wood]

Pat Summerall = Cowboys dominance for me. Hearing his voice on youtube brings those super bowl memories back.

Madden was more about turkey leg on T-day and saying how many Nate Newton probably eats after game.

Aikman........Irvin.......Touchdown, Dallas.

Dandy Don would sing, "Turn out the lights, the party's over."

I wonder if politics made them make the switch. Broader audience and all that.

I read that in Pat Summerall's voice and it was glorious.

That it was. Like poetry.

I miss those days of Madden obsessing over the linemen's sweat lines.

As goofy as it was, I do too, brother.

Pat was the glue to that whole duo, though. I don't think anyone could reign John in like Pat. He was just so steady and classic. Listening to him is like listening to John Facenda from NFL Films. Lost treasures of the game, man.

Seeing John Madden eulogize Pat was a tough thing to watch. Truly brothers from another mother.

I think Hank Williams Jr. made a comment that was not perceived well, and was basically fired.

Yep. Happened instantly, too, IIRC. One week he was there the next week he was not.
