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

[Risen Star]

I would add Madden and Summerall on Thursday Night football.

Having flashbacks of my childhood right now. Where does the time go?

Tony Dorsett's 99 1/2 yard td run against the Vikings on a Monday night. Made me a Cowboy's fan and have been one every since.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

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.

Summerall... that voice! It was epic. It was like quiet thunder... it had a roll to it!
Him and Madden - best ever!

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

Lol yup...
By the time he was done it was all scribble scrabble... and didn't make sense anymore,

Brent Musberger: "You are looking live......"

That, and the voice of John Facenda and NFL Films music.

 

[LandryFan]

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

Dandy Don singing "Turn Out the Lights" near the end of a Cowboys Monday night victory...I really like him and Cosell as a team.

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.

I got more fired up looking at Phyllis George but yeah Brent was a good studio host

Great topic.

1. The old NFL on CBS studio crew. Irv Cross, Jimmy the Greek, Brent Musberger, etc...

2. Pat Summeral previewing the upcoming episodes of "Sixty Minutes" and "Murder She Wrote"

3. The old "Inside The NFL" with Len Dawson and Nick Buoniconti. And all the fantastic music NFL films put with the game highlights.

It was how Pat would pause after Murder,,,

Phyllis >> Jayne

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I don't think enough of the female sideline reporters today recognize or give enough credit to Jayne Kennedy and Phyllis George for blazing the path for them.

 

[plasticman]

Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and Don Metedith with Frank Gifford refereeing.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I know Jimmy the Greek ended up disgraced etc but I used to love how he would pick the winners on the NFL Today with that tick mark on a board.

Why did he get disgraced

Why did he get disgraced

From wikipedia

"On January 16, 1988, he was fired by the CBS network (where he had been a regular on NFL Today since 1976) after commenting to WRC-TV reporter Ed Hotaling at Duke Zeibert's Washington, D.C. restaurant that African Americans were naturally superior athletes at least in part because they had been bred to produce stronger offspring during slavery:

“ The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way, because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs and he's bred to be the better athlete because this goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trade … the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid …[2] "
