Remember it? Boy do I ever! I go back a long ways. That brought back a lot of memories. Here is some other stuff that I remember, just like it was yesterday............
I still get chills whenever I see the opening of ABC Wide World Of Sports. That was a TV show that came on every Sunday afternoon back in the 70s. Pretty sure it was Sunday afternoons because I seem to remember watching it after church. The very best opening of any TV show ever! Chills!

I am not posting these just for the heck of it. These are things that I actually remember................
I remember when Monday Night Football first started. People said it would never work. NFL football on Monday? That's crazy! Who the heck wants to watch football on Monday? This is the MNF opening from 1973...........

This one is not as old as the other one, but this is my very favorite MNF opening theme ever! The Hank Williams Jr. openings are crap, and I'm not talking about the political mess he got into, I never liked the Hank Jr. stuff from the beginning.
MNF opening from 1984. This one is my favorite! I just watched this a few minutes ago and it actually made the hairs on my arms stand up, lol. That song! Love it!!!

Love Bum Phillips! Man, what a character. And I loved the Houston Oilers. They were my 2nd favorite team behind the Dallas Cowboys. I actually have a Houston Oilers cap somewhere, although I haven't seen it in a while. White cap with a big blue oil derrick on the front. Probably in a box in the top of the closet. I bought it when the wife and I went to Texas Stadium to watch Dallas vs Houston back in the early 80s. I didn't buy a Cowboy's cap because I already had tons of Cowboy stuff.

I am not a Raider fan, but I love this! It has been around for a very long time, but I remember when it was brand new. The first time I ever saw it was on NFL Films. The voice in the video is John Facenda, the most famous NFL Films narrator ever. He died in 1984.

John Facenda, Monday night football REAL music intro, ABC Wide World of Sports opening, Bum Phillips and the Lov ya Blue, and all the other things that were so awesome back in the day.....
When I saw the opening to the NFL Today from the 70's, I knew that guys like CharlieDog and Mr. Pitch would remember that great stuff like I do.... What an era!
Agreed crispydad, I can't stand the Hank Jr intro..... I can honestly say that the MNF intro and the NFL today info may have been some of the biggest reasons i fell in love with the game of football.
Robots blowing up and hip hop just don't cut it for this one!
