“IT WAS A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW” lmfao bro ain’t no way that was this dude’s commentary

Oh well, 11 year old boys come a dine a dozen, but a good football game? That’s special! 😉

@@brianarbenz1329 I mean foreal though the ratio of 11 year old boys to good football games is a landslide

In any crowd at any game, there’s got to be at least 5 or 6 11-year-old boys. One floating away in a balloon wouldn’t deplete the supply that much. So play on!

those were the good ole days :)

I’ll admit to a polite curiosity about whether the boy fvcking died lol especially since the only response from the announcer and players was “man these boys better bring their A game if they’re going to follow THAT up”

I hope his first case was to sue the NFL for child endangerment.

They took the rule out

The same thing happened in a Colorado high school game when I lived in Denver w/ the same result. TD for the offense.

I did the same thing as a kid! And yeah it was the CBS Morning Show, each Friday. And what's here was from his best plays of the decade for the 80s. I actually recorded that on videotape, so I rewatched it a on of times.

My parents recorded the Plays of the Decade special and I watched it a ton as a kid.

gonna be in a future part

I remember that one lol

When the idea became breaking the plane as opposed to crossing the goal line. Rule change created a conceptual change.

@@MrJLCharbonneau - "Into the endzone," and "Over the goal line." Either or both are logical.

I noticed the ball carrier put his knee down in the endzone, I wonder if being "down" in the endzone (the source of the word "touchdown") was still a requirement in 1952, as it still is in rugby.

@@danthemankhan - "Film at 11." (Of the game, not of the search for the imperiled child).

Which brings to mind that if you watch the original NBC telecast of The Immaculate Reception, not only does Curt Gowdy say that Franco Harris is “over” as he crosses the goal line, but he also says that the ball is “picked off” as Franco catches it off the deflection, just before it hits the ground. To modern ears, that definitely sounds like an INTERception, not a REception.

Well Seymour, I scored a touchdown despite your directions.

@@bigpoppa1234 Ah, Superintendent Chalmers! Welcome. I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable football game.

"At this point in the game? At this down and distance? With the playoffs on the line? Running a play based entirely on luck and the officials' inability to see what's going on?!?!" "Yes." "May I get a closer look?"

thanks! means a lot man

A different Whizzer White. The SCJ was Byron White, the Bears QB was Wilford White, the father of former Cowboys QB Danny White.

@@tygrkhat4087 Way to kill the mood with your facts.

@@danthemankhan Facts are stubborn things.

It went uncalled and the Vikings lost.

The boy’s parents owned a hot air balloon and we’re promoting an upcoming event at half time of a Vikes game. They had a rope tethered to the hot air balloon and the plan was to walk it the length of the field. It was initially supposed to be the boy’s mom in the balloon, but when it wasn’t getting lift she had her son switch places with her. It lifted off with him in the basket, but at some point the balloon became untethered from the rope holding it to the ground. The boy barely missed colliding with stadium lights and then his path took him right into air space used for planes landing and taking off at MSP. Metropolitan Stadium which is now Mall of America is right next to the airport. Luckily, the FAA was quick and suspended or diverted air traffic in the area while he flew through. He was able to release enough hot air to make a landing, but landed in a river. The balloon took off again without anyone in it. After he landed he got out and swam to dry land about 25 yards away, surviving the incident. He was taken back to the stadium where he would be checked by the Vikings medical staff. His parents were chasing the hot air balloon and didn’t see it landed and he had gotten off. They found it again later when it landed by itself without their kid inside. Over radio they were told their son had survived and was back at the stadium. They would soon after be reunited.

@@andrewohe1748 "It was initially supposed to be the boy’s mom in the balloon, but when it wasn’t getting lift she had her son switch places with her." I choose to believe it an elaborate plan for the husband to demonstrate to the wife that she needed to lose a few pounds.

Yeah, the refs missed the face mask and the Vikings lost.

We don’t t give a shit
