My All Time Favorite Sports Saying !

This was used again in the SB XXIII highlight video about the 49ers in 1988

I could listen to John Facenda read the phone book

@@rustykuntz94 Yep. The only difference in the SB XXIII highlight is that the narrator said "players" instead of "teams".

I'm going to guess that he didn't write that line.

I watched this video again especially for that specific part. It brings tears to my eyes -especially after seeing the Pittsburgh player at the very end walking off with his finger raised up. Number ONE.

NFL Films covering Super Bowls was never the same after John Facenda's death. As a Raiders fan, I feel fortunate he narrated Marcus Allen's Super Bowl -- Facenda's last before his death.

I agree.

You are a lucky person to be alive

L.A. Rams Great team!!!🏉🏈!!

+Mark DeVaughn I so agree...

+Buddy S 30 dollars???

love the rose bowl no luxury seats, the mountains and sunset in the background

They should make the Super Bowl free and hand out tickets by lottery. Today, we're looking at the possibility of the Super Bowl being on Pay-Per-View and have to pay to even see it on television.

Agreed. Feels like working class folks are getting priced out of football in general but especially these championship games. We played a none-too-small role in making football what it is today and now we can't even afford to park at the stadium.

Rams finally did it

Saints fan. Felt what you did when we lost on a BS call. I'm still mad about that.

I was in 8th Grade too but a Steelers fan. The Rams could not overcome the two 4Q bombs from Bradshaw to Stallworth and the devastating Ferragamo pick late in the 4Q.

I hate that NFL Films highlights that this Rams team was 9-7. They WERE NOT a bad team. Like the Raiders before them, they were consistent winners in the 1970's but just couldn't break through. They were pretty consistent winners throughout the 1970's and 1980's, and in the second half of the 1960's.

You betcha!- Myron Cope

Some of Stallworth's case for the HOF came from this game.

@@tonyc7301 Yes!

@@tonyc7301 Bingo

‪Jack Fleming late in the game after Stallworth’s monster TD catch: “And Stallworth beat Rod Perry! Ohhhh did he beat him!”‬

Rescue162 Best sports quote of all time, by the greatest voice!!

That's the 100th time I've heard somebody quote that line. enough already

I like the ending ,The Rams won respect but the Steelers won another World Championship

Youngblood was a serious badass!

that entire Rams defense were a bunch of bad asses... they don't get the respect that other defenses got in the same era, but based entirely on the numbers, the L.A Rams organization fielded the best defense in football the first 14 seasons of the super bowl era, leading up to this game..

Youngblood even played in the Pro Bowl the following week with that broken leg!

A mans man right there

@@conni70The blame is issued towards the Rams offense, and rightfully so , but The defense is also typically a big portion of why they succumbed to the opposition in post season , they were the sports anology of a great stats accumulator ,yet in moments of crisis inthe conference championship game and divisioal round "1973 Cowboys ,1977 vs Vikings home at Anaheim Stadium no less " when they needed to make a big stop they became invisible ,often falling apart embarrassingly 1975,78 conference championship games. Certainly a outstanding collection of Defensive talent during that exceptional rams tenure unquestionably ,a esteemed group of hof ,all,pro probowl ,and solid level players who deserved the individual and team accolades they received .BUT those rams defenses objectively weren't superior then the Dolphins No Name ,Cowboys DoomsDay I,II , Steelers Steel Curtain ,or for a short time frame the 1970-71 Colts Defense , numbers don't fully convey the Impact of a player or unit totally , they only focus upon tangible veriiables ,excluding the optic " eye test" and psychological effects a great player or unit has against it's opposition . Several years for instance Pittsburghs defense wasn't statistically the #1 defense but was correctly referred as the best ,example SB 10 NFL Films when John Facenda was giving the introduction of both the Steelers and Cowboys teams when stating the big difference between the two superb teams was the Steelers Great Steel Curtain Defense ,For In All Of Football None Is It's Equal . There are other linebackers in nfl history who have more career qb sacks then Lawrence Taylor ,but their impact isn't superior then his ,the visual dominance a captive audience can observe he performed , and the psychological oppression he imposed upon offenses can't be fully measured by numbers ,same criteria with the great Steelers ,Dolphins ,Cowboys and Colts 1970,71 defense in comparison to the Rams superb defense . Staunch supporters of the Rams defense being the best during that era continuously make the assessment about the Rams statistical Defensive ranking ,but selectively ignore the complete narrative of the Rams Defensive units failures in post season which would devalue the content of them being apex over other great defenses that routinely made the big plays in conference championship games to assist their team to eventually going on to win a SB ,make multiple SB appearances " colts 1968,1970 " Dolphins "71,72,73" Cowboys " 7O,71,75,77, Steelers" 74,75,78,79" you can't objectively erase what the success of these defenses in post season ,which along with they're regular season great exploits makes them better then the Rams .

MrDuds1984 Same here.

he also said the Steelers had a ton of respect for the Rams going into this game...Bradshaw and co. never beat the L.A Rams, losing to them in 71, 75 & 78...he said in the 4th quarter, there was a nervous feeling on the Steelers sidelines of "here we go again, these guys have our number"...

Yeah, but that was the regular season and most of the players from those 3 games were not on this roster?

i'm just quoting what bradshaw said...were you on the Steelers sideline..?

Yea that was pretty much it, they made the playoffs for a few more seasons and even the Championship game in 84 but it wasn't the same. Bradshaw also was almost done after this, he played through 1983 but a terrible elbow injury made him ineffective the last ew years.

That team on paper in 1980 might have been the most talented team the Steelers had. I believe key injuries kept them from even making the playoffs early in the year and they never recovered. The dynasty I think ended in that 6-0 Thursday night loss in Houston.

If Youngblood was 100 percent... NOWAY BRADSHAW WOULD OF HAD THE TIME ..NOWAY!

my favorite is the eagles raiders Superbowl

Mine too. have watched it 100 times at least.

Yes, brilliant with Classic Battle perfect underscore of last LA drive.

I second that. Loved watching this particular highlight in Super Bowl morning. Great music not only on the Rams final drive but also the Steelers out away touchdown

You forgot the Mean Joe Green Coke Commercial.

Awesome post, thanks for providing some context to the seasons they had

I was 9 and this was a year before I started following sports. I remember the game playing in the background while my dad was playing poker with my uncles. Shame I didn't realize what was happening.

I was 19. Underrated Super Bowl. As a Rams fan and our owner Carrol Rosenbloom who died that year they fought their asses off.

I was also 12 and as a huge sports fan pulling hard for the LA Rams. Almost did it. Until that last interception by Steelers I was thinking Rams 26 24.

I was 6 yrs old in the 1st grade and I remember this Super Bowl. 2 yrs later my 49ers won their 1st World Title.

Truly underrated. A huge upset brewing until almost the end, not to mention all the lead changes and the cool halfback option by the Rams.

from 1973- to 1978, the 6 seasons before this one, the Rams had a combined record of 66-19, which was the best in pro football...i think they already won respect around the NFL before this super bowl..

Totally agree!!

Harry Kalas is the Greatest of All Time! Sure do miss hearing him and Richie Ashburn doing the Phillies games

Jim Birdsall is pretty good too

Julian Smith look up Schmidt 500th home run...Harry Kalas called it ..AMAZING

@@nickyviolaguitar The same thing with him cause it don't sound the same without his narrarating on Inside the NFL

Played at UNM! I’m from the ABQ. Great legend here.

I had 3 of my coaches in college at RMU part of this game. Robin Cole & John Banazak on the Steelers & Dan Radakovich coaching the Rams. Coach Cole is such a great man I still talk to today!

One likely reason why Robin Cole played on such a level in SB XIV was that it was his homecoming. He was an L.A. native who attended Compton High School (c/o '73).

I listen to it sometimes as I work and it just pumps me up awesome

Narration and music. Spot on. NFL Films at its finest.

5:37 name of the song?

@@Terryakamaru Just search NFL Films music-Blockbuster.

+martin ruiz They never belonged in St. Louis in the first place. I don't care if they won a Super Bowl with 2 Conference Championships. Seems like St. Louis could give 2 shits about professional football. That's a baseball town.

+Fanik10 st louis care more about baseball and fucking hockey more than the NFL.

let beat the Patriots

Now get rid of their current horrible uniforms!!!

You can thank Georgia Frontiere for moving them St. Louis. Eight years after the bitch died, Stan Kroenkie returned the Rams to where they really belonged(Los Angeles).

+MrBaddog7676 I Agree He's One Of The All Time Greats!

+MrBaddog7676 Nope

+MrBaddog7676 No, none whatsoever

+MrBaddog7676 joe buck?? hahahaaa

Master Mo LOL! No!

Were you from Los Angeles? The reason I'm asking is because when they won 20 years later they were playing in St Louis.

Same

Yeah, the beginning was great ✔️.

Yeah, I hear you. If you watch the complete game, during the 4th Quarter Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier are discussing their MVP picks. "Stallworth," Summerall says. "Not Bradshaw?" Brookshier asks. "I would pick Bradshaw if not for the interceptions," Summerall says. "Well," Brookshier says, "I guess it's a pretty good choice either way."

Good observation. Stallworth is in the HOF in part because of his performance in the 4th quarter of Super Bowl XIV.

Pretty sure that in SBs 10,13 and 14,Terry Bradshaw had 8 TDs for 320 yards, that's 40 yards per TD and I think Swann and Stallworth own the highest and 3rd highest yard per completion average in SB history, it wasn't just one quarter in 1 game

I believe had Bradshaw targeted Stallworth more in the Super Bowl than he did Swann(Stallworth caught 70 passes to Swann's 41 in regular season), Stallworth would've been the MVP

Ironically, Swann was having a better day than Stallworth but was knocked out of the game due to a concussion in the 3rd quarter. The smooth Stallworth unfortunately for the Rams was just as difficult to handle. The L A Rams were much better than their 9-7 record but the Steelers cemented being the best team of the decade with the win.

***** yup

+LuvFloridaSunsets Hopefully there will be another Super Bowl at the Rose Bowl.

most likely not since the Rams is getting a new building in three years for super bowl 55 in 2021

And how about the 49ers playing at San Jose in Super Bowl XIX?

Re: Rams closest home team: Franik meant UP TO that time; but did not say it correctly.

I’mma let you finish...

Jason Summers Good points

more trivia...a California based team made the SB three consecutive seasons...Rams-79, Raiders-80, 49ers -81...and the Chargers went to a the AFC title game 2 of those seasons..

Adding to the California theme, Vince Ferragamo was the quarterback of the Rams, taking over for the often injured Pat Haden. Haden would go on to be the AD at USC. When Haden retired, no other than his ex teammate and former Steelers Hall of Famer Lynn Swann would take over.

Now there’s two

2020 Tampa and 2021 Los Angeles

Out of all the Steelers SB victories, I enjoyed the Steelers vs. Rams the most. Sure a lot of fans will say that Steelers vs. Cowboys were the most exciting. Maybe Super Bowl X may be among the best. But I thought SB XIII was a bit overrated. Sure Dallas made the game interesting when they made their comeback orchestrated by Captain Comeback himself in Roger Staubach. But the Steelers built an 18 point cushion late in the 2nd. half. Despite one mistake, the Steelers were managing the clock and it worked. With the Steelers vs. Rams, it was an amazing story between these two teams. The Steelers going for back-to-back wins. And the Rams playing in the Rose Bowl - practically in their own back yard. And the love Rams fans showed for their team (I always remember the Rams fan with the visor covering his face most likely in tears when it was apparent that the Rams were going to lose - I loved the classic NFL Films. They knew how to combine many football game stories involving the players and fans). Despite the eventual outcome from the game, Steelers players had nothing but huge respect for the Rams. It's so nice seeing Jack Lambert one of the most intense players to ever play the game seeking out Jack Youngblood at the end of the game. Jack Youngblood played with the heart of a champion with a broken leg.

"the same old Rams"..? you mean the same old Rams who the 14 seasons leading up to this SB won their division 7 consecutive seasons, and went to 5 NFC title games, compiling the 3rd most wins in all of pro football...you mean those "same old Rams"..? the same old Rams who had the most wins in football from 1973 to 78..? those same old Rams?

conni70 Oh 7 consecutive years in the playoffs and 5 Title games? They must have won quite a few Super Bowls then huh? What!? You're telling me that they choked each of those times? Yeah those same old Rams. P.S. Don't shoot the messenger.

in 25 seasons, from 1966 to 1990, the L.A Rams compiled the 3rd highest win total in all of pro football...in that quarter of a century only the Raiders and Cowboys had more wins..it is without question, the greatest 25 years in NFL history for an organization that didn't win a SB...now, you can try and oversimplify the argument in your favor by harping on the fact that they didn't win a SB, but that just illustrates your lack of intelligence and nuance about the matter..

of course the Steelers had huge respect for the Rams, as did the entire NFL...remember, leading up to this SB the Rams had an all time record of 11-1-1 against the Steelers...and Bradshaw and co. never beat the Rams, going 0-3 against them..that's why the narrative of this NFL films is a little bit misleading, making statements like, "the same old Rams", and "the Rams had no heart"...any body who knows football will tell you that the Rams were one of the most consistently competitive teams the decade leading up to this SB..

Rams hadda great D !

Paul Zimmerman has a great article about how the Steelers were on fumes (age, injuries years of extra games in post season), were outplayed but just knew how to win. I thought Bud Carson made his D fearless (his departure still baffles me). Steelers fans had to have a sense that one for the thumb was going to be difficult. Rams weren't that great,, 5-6 at one point and got lucky in the playoffs. Those Stallworth bombs were desperation.

John Stallworth's touchdown catch caught on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

The Blonde Bomber!

Mo Overall Fitness Hacks both catches by Stallworth were perfectly thrown balls, but the actual catches were spectacular. The first was caught over the opposite shoulder. It looked easy, but as Tom Brookside pointed out during the telecast, it's a incredible catch because your momentum is fading you one way, and you have to locate, turn, catch, all without slowing down and keeping your natural stride. The second was even more spectacular. He had to do the same thing, but this time the ball came down on top of him with no chance for YAC. Both times the ball had to be perfectly thrown, and both times it was. Stallworth s catches were every bit as good as Swanns Super Bowl X and his own in XIII. Even in today's era of football, you can't underestimate the importance of 1. Having a QB who can throw deep. 2. Having a receiver that can get deep, and outrun the DB. 3. A coaching staff, that will call the the play.

Spryfol II Swann's TD in this game was impressive too, the way he timed his leap elevated, and fantastic body control.

@ Mo Bro you see that spiral to Stallworth not once but twice!!!!!

This superbowl reminds me of superbowl 30. Really good game but the final score doesn't show it

L E On that play when Lambert intercepted, Billy Waddy was wide open. Which probably would have meant the Steelers winning by five instead of 12. The final 12 point margin deceptively hides what a close game this really was, as neither team led by more that five points until Pittsburgh scored their last TD with two minutes left. The lead actually changed hands six times, and had Ferragamo seen Waddy there might have been 8 lead changes. Given the tenor of the game, the outcome was very much up in the air until that late interception. Even though I was disappointed that the Rams lost that Super Bowl, in my mind no other super bowl comes close to being as exciting as that one was.

@@davidbrandel4128 If the Rams would’ve scored on that drive that doesn’t mean the rest of the game would’ve played out the same way

I’ve been a fan since the mid 80’s, but I feel the same way

SB V a bad game but a great highlight film

SB 13 also

Yes I agree, He just has that Voice that makes u think your living these Great Games all over again.

Another great line by the great John Facenda

I wonder if she's still with us

I was wondering who she is or was. I thought at first the woman who played Alice on the Brady Bunch, Ann Davis.

Considering how rough some of those Rams seasons were in the late 1960s and through the 1970, I'd be the same way. Rams put up a helluva fight in game they weren't supposed to appear in.

Bud Carson the inventor of the original Steel Curtain...the Pitts' players in the press were quoted before the game as being fearful of him.
