@@frankdenardo8684 dam right!!

Riggins was supposedly even faster + stronger during his early years with the Jets, but those were with some pretty mediocre teams so they perhaps didn't get the attention (even playing in New York) that they deserved.

Other than his Super bowl TD run. This was it for me. I remember that Dallas game like yesterday and still upset that the 'Skins didn't get a chance for a Mosely fg attempt with 2 seconds left in that game.

And his block @ 17:10...knocked the guy's helmet off!

This was on ESPN - after the show, the next thing was a couple seconds of "SportsCenter" (with the theme from back in the day) - or maybe it was "SportsCenter PLUS"!

Absolutely. Hate their current uniforms.

i know I'm pretty off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released series online?

@Ariel Gerardo i use FlixZone. You can find it on google =)

Hell, bring back something that looks like an NFL uniform and not like one of those European league teams or even worse, like hockey uniforms.

His name was Bruce. Bruce the Buccaneer

That would be great right about now

My guess is that when it came time to transfer the originals to DVD, they couldn't get the rights to some of the popular music that's used in the soundtrack, and by that time Facenda had passed away so they couldn't have him rerecord it; Kalas was the NFL Films main in-house recording talent at that time, so they had him redo the same narration with the new music. For me, I knew this version as the only one for a long time, so hearing the Kalas version with different music just feels too jarring, much as I like HK as a narrator.

This is an example of the year-end videos produced after the conference championships but released before the Super Bowl, usually for networks to air on the day or weekend of the Super Bowl. The 1978-80 versions are what I consider the best of the vintage. I especially enjoy how NFL Films interspersed some versions of pop music -- which were deleted in the year-end videos complete with Super Bowl highlights that made their way onto DVDs. Steve Sabol explained to me that they used the music they really wanted in the conference championship versions, but didn't want to pay the music publishers rights fees into perpetuity for the year-enders with Super Bowl versions.

Just wondering - is John Facenda still around? Harry Kalas passed away in the summer of 2009 I believe.

@@seanycarr3226 Facenda passed away in 1984.

@@TomG1555 and Kalas, though not Facenda, was a damn good voice. If there ever were a seamless transition, that was it.

I'm curious why you say it was Erxleben's fault? What should he have done, after the Saints' center sailed the ball over his head?

Erxleben was the Saints first round selection in 1979. One year before St Louis made kicker Steve Little their first round selection

Absolutely

That's why Facenda was called 'The Voice of God' 8)

Well you know it does...

I agree

Totally agree 😁🤔

The first Star Trek: The Motion Picture came out in 1979.

Yes, football was a very brutal game. Big hard hits with consistency on all levels of the game were rewarded .

GOOOOOOOO BENGALS!!!👍

That’s why they should be barred from getting the prime matchups

Love this.This is before the days of the politically correct nonsense that we are now plagued by.

I love the song that started 0:10 can you name it

@@jimmypatterson3998 sucks you can't be racist sexist ect. in the open huh. It's the worst!

Hotdogs and heroes

Logan had GREAT hands, and was big/tall enough to play basketball too, I believe.

Logan was a remarkable athlete.

He reminds of Martin Scorsese here...

One of the 'Weather' games of the century!!! I remember being 10 years old at the time, and I wanted to play in the rain and mud ALL THE TIME after I saw highlights from the 'Monsoon Game'.

I just loved playing football in the mud. If mom caught us muddy though, she wasn't no June Cleaver about it. She'd go off like an A- bomb.

@@arthurbishop3173 monsoon bowl

Wind, rain, snow, subzero temps…doesn’t matter…you still play football. The one exception is lightning (which is only a temporary stoppage) or a catastrophic weather event like a hurricane.

All kickers get scrutinized because every fan thinks a team wasted a top draft pick at an unnecessary position. Oakland used to get on Janikowski his rookie year because he was missing kicks

Yes, he really sliced and diced the opposition.

"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" came out in '79, that's most likely where that's from.

@@TomG1555 0:10 name that tune

Ypu, so did Jim Pluckett. Pluckett stood on the sidelines to finish his career in SF. Held his helmet, and didn't play much. Then, he found new life at Oakland, and led Raiders to a Super Bowl championship.

None of that montage of runs by O. J. were from his Forty Niner years (1978-79). By that time he was injured and was working on his next career acting in commercials and movies. He would reappear front and center in the national news in the nineties. 🙄

@@denisceballos9745 Buffalo tried to bury OJ, sending him to San Francisco. Simpson wanted to go to California and the Bills turned down the Rams offer of sending all their draft picks in 77, a la Ricky Williams, and the opportunity to play for Oakland

@@mrlaw711 He sat in Oakland for two years also

Howard Cosell; The Forty Niners (GM Joe Thomas) made the trade for OJ for his marquee value - they needed to boost attendance at Candlestick which had declined. You’re right, OJ wanted to be traded to L.A. but that trade never materialized for the reasons you stated. He had a short-lived, uneventful stint in SF.

I moved down to TB in 1979 and fell in love with the Bucs - what a great year for them. Stupid Culverhouse should have paid him better. He was paid less then all other starting QB's and 12 backup QB's.

@@ajogg he could barely complete 50% of his passes. He had more bad games then good games. But still for back ups to be making more than him was ridiculous.

I've seen it on YT from time to time, but it doesn't stay up long before being blocked. My guess is some of the music (for example, from Star Trek The Motion Picture) triggers the blockers, but that's just a guess.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture" came out in '79

Fritter Foof He also said his bucs offense couldn’t score against a stiff. breeze

"We proved we can't win at home, and we can't win the road, so we're looking for a good neutral site for our next game." Funny man.

That was head linesman Frank Glover...He was on Ben Dreith's crew in 1978-79.

Last time I checked he was found not guilty

If that guy took an angle on Riggens, he'd have gotten a hand on him. But he followed straight because he misunderestimated Riggins speed. That was Riggo's 9th year. (graduated college 1970).

I was 11.🏈🏈✊🏾

Dude!!!!

And look at Campbell today, numb nuts.

Psychological let down + Fouts playing like dog poop.

Dan the Man they wouldn't have beaten Pittsburgh

@@jonathanhairston5019 Wouldn't have beaten Pittsburgh? They DID beat Pittsburgh. And it wasn't even remotely close. Had the Chargers played the Steelers in the post-season, the game would've been played in San Diego. That's because in Week #12, the Chargers -beat- -crushed- utterly obliterated the Steelers, 35-7. The Steelers were 8-0 at home, but an average team on the road. They were fortunate to even be 4-4. Here's how they fared: @9-7 Patriots....won, 16-13 *_in OT_* @5-11 Cardinals....won, 24-21 _(Trailed, 21-7, in 4th)_ *@11-5 Eagles....lost, 17-14* @9-7 Browns....won, 51-35 *@4-12 Bengals....*-lost- *got destroyed, 34-10* _(Cincy was 0-6 coming into the game)_ @7-9 Chiefs....won, 30-3 *@12-4 Chargers....got pummeled, 35-7* *@11-5 Oilers....lost, 20-17* In their only post-season game away from Pittsburgh (SB XIV), they struggled to beat a 9-7 Rams team that was starting their back-up QB. (Rams actually led, 19-17, in the 4th quarter before 2 bombs from Bradshaw decided the game) San Diego had the #1 scoring defense in the AFC (#2 in the NFL) and allowed only 12 PPG at home. Upon what do you base your conclusion that San Diego would've stood no chance vs Pittsburgh?

There were some rumors that the Oilers had either stolen the Chargers' system to send in the plays or found a "tell" in Fouts' stance that signaled either run or pass, and that contributed to their 5 interceptions. The way Fouts put it in the "America's Game" feature on those Charger teams is "...we were just off (that game), and I was just off a lot."

Dan Fouts turned Vernon Perry into an all-pro that day.

Sorry, but no. The Bucs were 0-14 in 1976, their inaugural season. in 1977 they beat StL and Wash, the 27th and 28th games of their history, going 2-14, then 5-11 in 1978.

@@indy_go_blue6048 Their first winning season wasn't until 1993. The lost that year in the Superbowl to the Chargers 9-7.

@@monerz1 Hmm... what alternate history films are you watching?

I'm an ordained minister.

​@Al Swearengen Yes, you're correct. Stan Humphries was their QB, and he led the NFL in homeruns and on-base percentage.

It's not know as the National Felons League for nothing, but most of them are/were still playing at the time.
