Bored Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 One of my biggest pet peeves in sports is the NFL's policy of refusing to air classic, original broadcast games from their film archives. Whether it be on ESPN Classic or their own network they don't allow them to be aired. Every other league in every other sport allows access to these classic games but the NFL doesn't want you to see them. Why that is, I've never quite figured out. So fuck 'em as through the magic of YouTube we can dig up some classic highlights from the original broadcast games and I think this could make a great thread. I'll start it out with posting some classic 49ers moments. 1982 NFC Championship Game vs. Dallas, complete final drive with "The Catch" 1987 vs. Cincinnati, Joe Montana touchdown to Jerry Rice as time runs out 1988 vs. Minnesota, Steve Young's incredible game winning 49 yard touchdown run Super Bowl XXIII vs. Cincinnati, the complete final drive! (poor quality) 1994 vs. L.A. Raiders, Jerry Rice breaks Jim Brown's career touchdown record #125 #126 #127
Slayer Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 Good work, Bored. Fuck a bunch of NFL Films Man, it's weird hearing an actual coherent John Madden...

CanadianChris Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 Morten Andersen breaks Vikings fans' hearts At least they're used to it. Also, an awesome montage of highlights from the Dolphins/Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game in the snow, forever to be known as the Leon Lett game.
KingPK Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 I miss Pat Summerall. I don't. That Vinatieri kick call had to be one of the most robotic and emotionless "big play" calls I've ever heard. Give me Gino Capaletti having a heart attack after it any day.
Damaramu Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 2002: Brian Dawkins kills Ron Mexico That brings me such joy. Didn't Vick complain about pissing blood after that? I know he said it was the hardest hit he's ever taken.
Guest Felonies! Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 I miss Pat Summerall. I don't. That Vinatieri kick call had to be one of the most robotic and emotionless "big play" calls I've ever heard. Give me Gino Capaletti having a heart attack after it any day. A field goal ending is anticlimactic unless it's a longer one. 50 yards or more (and maybe out in the elements) and there's some actual drama, because that's when the nearly automatic kickers have problems too. Anyone who knew football then knew that Vinateri was one of the better kickers in the league, so there wasn't much excitement on my end. This is not to devalue special teams, because the kicks he made that year against the Raiders were huge and true tests of skill.

Vern Gagne Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Any chance Jeff Campell taking out Scott Studwell is on there?
Slayer Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Heh, I swear Super Bowl XIX is probably the truly forgotten SB. Even amongst the famous blowouts, you never really hear about it, and of Montana's four SB's it's lost among the two close games against Cincy and the complete decimation of Denver. Very ironic for being one of the most hyped games ever.
Bored Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Posted July 2, 2006 Any chance Jeff Campell taking out Scott Studwell is on there? Nope, but here's Wilbur Marshall killing Joe Ferguson. Heh, I swear Super Bowl XIX is probably the truly forgotten SB. Even amongst the famous blowouts, you never really hear about it, and of Montana's four SB's it's lost among the two close games against Cincy and the complete decimation of Denver. Very ironic for being one of the most hyped games ever. I think it also gets forgotten, along with the '84 49ers in general, because of what happened the following year with the '85 Bears duplicating the 49ers 15-1 record and doing it it even more dominating fashion in the regular season and of course the Super Bowl.
Guest Princess Leena Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Thanks for this. Damn, that Ferguson hit was awesome. He was out long before reaching the ground.
Vern Gagne Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Is that Vin Scully doing the 49ers/Cowboys game?
Bored Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Posted July 4, 2006 Yes it was Scully. Here's Randall Cunningham's signature play, 1988 MNF vs. Giants
Vern Gagne Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 The Vikings sure are on the wrong end of a lot of these clips.
Slayer Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 At least nobody's posted the Jim Marshall wrong-way run, or the last second TD by Arizona. We need to find footage of Randy Moss' pitchback to Moe Williams against Denver. That was a classic play Side note: After watching the Cunningham play, I liked the Giants 80's/90's unis better than the neo-classic unis they have now
RepoMan Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 Yes it was Scully. Here's Randall Cunningham's signature play, 1988 MNF vs. Giants lol on the Quarterblack, I'm mean back comment.
therealworldschampion Posted July 9, 2006 Report Posted July 9, 2006 Randall's greatest play right there, that or the long bomb to Fred Barnett in Buffalo in 1990. Dawkins brings the workrate, Theismann cries over it
