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

[DogFace]

I'll add NFL film highlights on inside the NFL back in the day when they did it correctly. Long indepth highlights narrated by Harry Kalas. (2nd best ever voice for NFL)

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

That it was. Like poetry.

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

And also his affinity of Nate Newton hitching his pants between every snap.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

I miss the commercial where the football player gets clobbered. While laying down on the field, his training staff asks him to say his name. He sits up and responds with "I'm Batman!!!!"

Those where Nike commercials played by Dennis Hopper

 

[robbieruff]

Had to add this one. The whole clip is awesome but check out from the 4:00 mark in particular.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

OK old heads. Who remembers before ESPN the only way to see Sunday's football game highlights before MNF was to stay up (11:30 p.m. on the east coast) to watch the "George Michaels Sports Machine".

I couldn't wait to see the Cowboys highlights.

[JPostSam]

mike singletary's eyes getting really big right at the snap.

ronnie lott destroying people.

the three amigos in denver and the "marks brothers" (duper and clayton) in miami.

the cowboys and Commanders superfan guys in costume squaring up against each other.

the tom landry vs the Commanders american express commercial.

the mean joe green coca-cola commercial.

I have never figured out who was cooler, Crazy Ray or the Afro American guy in the Indian headdress.

 

[RS12]

Original MNF crew. Howard, Frank and Dandy. That was entertainment.

 

[TheCoolFan]

ESPN Sunday Night Football and MNF on ABC was better than the current setup! I'd prefer MNF being the primetime game of the week

If your thinking of "This is the NFL", I would agree. It was on Saturday night at 7PM EST and was an hour long. For those in out of state markets that didn't get to see the game every week, this was a must watch for me in my teenage years.

Tom Landry, the only coach the Cowboys have ever had...

Verne Lundquist & Brad Sham on the Cowboys Radio Networlk...

Tear-away #34 jerseys...

HOW 'BOUT DEM COWBOYS!....

Allowing defensive backs to, you know, actually play in the game...

Stickum...

The Landry Shift...

I do love those. Kalas also did the highlights on the HBO show when Nick what's his face and Len Dawson

 

[bigdnlaca]

Everything that all of you said.

One thing I feel is underrated was Fox "little" sound of the score changing in the early 2000s until I would say 2008. Thought it was kind of cool.

Also, I always loved a buildup with some video montage in the beginning of each game like what NBC use to do for the NBA (and NFL). Now we have to look at the commentators and numbers, like I care.

Original MNF crew. Howard, Frank and Dandy. That was entertainment.

That would be it for me!

 

[haleyrules]

ABC's Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell. People can say what they want about ole arrogant Howard. He brought something to everything he did. I loved him as a boxing guy...he was great with Ali and Frazieŕ.
The hail Mary pass is a piece of Dallas nostalgia that l revisit many times a year along with the old Doomsday Defense!,

lol. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be Commanders...Great and fond memory!! Good one.

 

[haleyrules]

Ok...how about wideouts of long ago and that stickum?? they used!!

 

[CapnCook]

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

That and Prime Time (back in the day). It was Old School Red Zone!

Almost as good as watching the game.

George Michael was the best, he was even live in Pasadena in 92 when the Boys won the SB......he had the best highlights.........of all sports.
