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

Frank Gleiber "Roger needs a miracle" loved the way he said Staubach.

NFL Films with Steve Sabol

John Facenda. And that music.

^^This!

Many great memories in this thread, but John Facenda narrating NFL Films transcends them all for me. His voice made football, for me, the greatest sport in the world.

I was crestfallen when word of his passing was announced. Part of the magic of football from that era died with him.

I miss those cheesy one dimensional helmets from the early eighties when they'd show scores from around the league on the CBS post game show. And it was always great when the 4pm game ended and they would take you to the last couple minutes of a close game. It always felt like Christmas when that live look in was a Cowboys game.

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

Summerall coached Burt Reynolds in college when he was a DB? I always thought Reynolds was a running back.

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

It was January sixteenth 1972. I was skiing in riodoso New Mexico and stopped at the restaurant at the top of the chair lift. I got to watch our Dallas Cowboys beat the dolphins 24-3. There were a lot of Cowboy fans watching there in that restaurant. That was our first super bowl win. Go Cowboys

Pat Summerall.....John Madden. Complete classic.

They were great, and loved those Turkey legs Madden gave out on Thanksgiving.

NFL Primetime with Chris Berman and Tom Jackson.

This was as fun as watching the games itself.

They knew how to throw in the perfect amount of highlights to tell the story of the game, Berman was sharp and didn't have an over-inflated ego. It wasn't about fanboys and misleading journalism. It was a celebration of the game and the focus was the game. Berman became a star because he got the rub from the show instead of Berman (or any announcer) trying to get themselves over at the expense of the show.

I still remember all of the songs they played as well.

Miss this stadium. AT&T Stadium is innovative, super clean and huge but it's missing the magic of Texas Stadium IMO.

Also, the location of AT&T Stadium is farther from me.

Have you ever checked out the pardon my take podcast?

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

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.

Thanks for not living in FB.

I really miss Monday Night Football from the early 90's. The intro would get me so pumped up for the game. The music, the helmets smashing together. Al Michaels and Frank Gifford. Loved it. Just not the same anymore.

I actually remember laughing at that. Put the ol' fashioned 'x' on him, and these guys like this guy right here, Charles Haley....'nope'.

Great little intro...........still remember the catch by Irvin on thanksgiving against Dale Carter.

I just wonder what Madden would be saying about ZMartin.
