I work in baseball and before Harry passed away, I used to see him at the ballpark when the Phillies came to town. We'd sit out on the back deck by the pressbox and talk baseball. Great guy and I miss him. I see his son, Todd almost every game and work in the same booth. RIP Harry - Legend.
@@80sFootballCards I almost went to Philly for the WS with the Astros but my car got broken into and I had to stay to get that taken care of. It worked out because the game I would have gone to was game 3 where the Phillies crushed the Astros. Seeing Harry up on the board would have been a very pleasant surprise. If I ever get to Citizens Bank for a game I'll look for it. Very cool. Also, his son Todd is a great guy. Real pleasure sharing the booth with him.
the championship game in jan 76 played at three rivers was one of the 2 most physical games i have ever seen. the other being the giants-49ers nfc championship game in jan 91
I believe this came on Saturday or Sunday morning. My friends & I, all 20 of us would watch it then go to 56th street park in Brooklyn NY. We had equipment on with our favorite teams helmits & jerseys. We would then choose up & kill each other. Great days!
So what if nobody outside of Denver thinks they're for real......by mid-season, we all knew that they were. It didn't come out of nowhere though, as they had gone 9-5 the previous season prior to the acquisition of Craig Morton. Morton replacing Steve Ramsey may have been the biggest difference which vaulted them from 9-5 in 1976 to 12-2 in 1977.
The acquisition of Morton was significant. What I really wished the team could've kept was Max Coley as OC and Jerry Frei as the O-line coach. The work they did in '73 was beyond remarkable. Had that '73 team not lost to Oakland in the last game of the year the Broncos would have won the AFC-W outright. Probably would have kept John Ralston as HC as well. Its not that I hated Robert "Red" Miller, I just didn't think he was a very good adjustment type of coach; whether it be during the game along the sidelines or after the half, but especially on the offensive side of the ball for the offensive line. The biggest hurdle cleared, as far as what vaulted the '77 team to uncharted territory was the switch to the 3-4 defense that had to be done in '76 when Alzado went down with a knee injury. That allowed for one of the greatest linebacking corps to fully come to fruition in '77: Gradishar, Jackson, Rizzo, and Swenson. In fact, that entire Orange Crush defense was spectacular, SB-XII withstanding (our offense hung that great defense out to dry that game). That third week out in Oakland at the OAC proved Joe Collier's brilliance as a DC; but, everyone that Ralston drafted from '72-'76 on defense as a high draft pick, that made the team, was/were damn good.
Yeah I’m looking for them rn💀 it’s crazy because people that watch the NFL today always praise the NFL in the 70’s but these old heads always hating on everything new bro things gotta change
I was 18 years old, the good old times. A true NFL football. Today is pure endorsements and big commercials while the games are going. Paying millions of dollars to very mediocre players.
LOL! Typical Silverdome; brawls in the stands and trash in the end zone. Everyone in that end must have jettisoned their Noms and started throwing hands😂
@dutdut2.091 He's talking about toughness. The guys from back in the day were both mentally & (as a result) a physically tougher group of guys. ....& don't let the slow motion fool you. There are a TON of players who would still be allstars even if they played in today's game. However, there are some star players of today who would struggle in the NFL of yesteryear.
The opening sequence where the players are standing in a single line facing the flag during the playing of the National Anthem is a scene you don't see today. That's why I don't watch NFL games now. The policy regarding the Anthem today is too loose.
Some bitch about the 70s, esp the gas lines, oil embargo, Watergate, Vietnam, and Jimmy Carter, but America was still more united then than now. The last few decades have seen it broken apart, with the internet making it worse with misformation, selfishness, and Americans lack of critical thinking.
You need to wake up to what’s happening in this country, and acknowledge that not standing for the flag, or protest against what’s going on in this country has nothing to do with a lack of patriotism, or a lack of love for this country. It is simply a demonstration of the inequities and injustice that exist in this country that obviously people like you refuse to accept. And before you start with your love it, or leave it rhetoric, there are certain liberties that we all as Americans should be entitled to, but not all Americans are entitled to the liberties that you may benefit from so you leave the country people like you and Donald Trump, who want to deny people their rights and their existence in this country should leave leave it to the Native Americans and you go back to some European country or wherever Your ppl came from.
All you have today is a bunch of fools dancing around in tight USFL Trump arena underwear. Greedy owners, free agency, salary caps ruined the game as did ugly uniforms!
Harry Kalas’ voice is so legendary aw man I miss these highlights
I love these old shows! Listen to that music. The narration. Nostalgia!
So glad to lived and watched the NFL back then.
Same here better times in my opinion.
To me this era of the NFL was way better than today.
Nice to see when players weren’t acting like fools.
Or like big millionaire babies pouting because the QB doesn't throw their lazy overpaid asses the ball enough.
Yes I agree! Today's players act like damn fools!! I really don't like watching football today. It is not the same game.
I work in baseball and before Harry passed away, I used to see him at the ballpark when the Phillies came to town. We'd sit out on the back deck by the pressbox and talk baseball. Great guy and I miss him. I see his son, Todd almost every game and work in the same booth. RIP Harry - Legend.
Harry was the greatest! They still play a video of him on the big screen after every Phillies win in Philly. 🥲

The good old days. I really miss this era of the NFL
NOTHING better-yup!!
they were way worse players than today
Same
@@dutdut2.091still good pigskin fam.
me too
I was 7 and loved watching football. Take me back!!
Raiders vs Steelers in the ‘70s was as brutally physical as it gets!!!!!
the championship game in jan 76 played at three rivers was one of the 2 most physical games i have ever seen. the other being the giants-49ers nfc championship game in jan 91
Sound was cutoff at the end
Who won that game?? No sound. I don't think that's a coincidence
Of course not. So i just audiolised ( in my mind) Facenda calling it..
@@mongoslade277does Franco look hpy? Of course the Raiders won. Basically took Noll's offense apart, piece by fkng piece
Great memories, love the music !
Same here!!
Mark and Arthur, you should pick up the box set “Autumn Thunder”….
Harry kalas is an absolute legend
Philadelphia's own Harry Kalas
Greatest NFL voice
Been watching a lot of these week in review shows recently and I never realized the level of Harry Kalas’s casual snark.
Those BEAUTIFUL Seahawks, Falcons, and Bengals (yes) uniforms.
I love those old Bengals unis even though they're pretty plain.
Yeah I miss them too, also the Broncos, Eagles, Patriots, Oilers, Chargers and Dolphins too.
@@frankrizzo4460
Those inaugural Denver uniforms were beautiful. The Oilers were fun to watch with Campbell;)
@@backbay2242Cleveland Browns uniforms except with the word Bengals on the helmets
This was as close as we got to ESPN in the 70s... Loved this show and narrator!! 2nd to Howard Cossel..
@free1417 John Facenda?
@kwaichangshane122 I googled Facenda never heard of him or remembered his voice but read he was labeled as the voice of the NFL.
That was good hard football in those days.
Man that 70s muzak soundtrack with the highlights and Kalas narration is groovy...😁😁
I believe this came on Saturday or Sunday morning. My friends & I, all 20 of us would watch it then go to 56th street park in Brooklyn NY.

1977 Tony D rookie year, great memories !!
Watching this makes you realize these guys were real football players...this was pro football...70s 80s best football EVER
Why isn't Kenny Anderson in the HOF?
I miss these shows.
that old Astroturf had to be so unforgiving, i can remember listening with my brother to lon simmons on the 49ers radio network
Love after the Cardinals score at 14:20, the guy on the sideline runs and jumps in the Cardinal-mobile for a victory lap😆
Shame there is no sound for the final few minutes
Agreed, esp for a Steelers vs Raiders match up.
I had to check my volume
The NFL WAS great when real MEN played.
Hank Stram wearing his rug while walking on the rug inside the Silver Dome.
This was the year of the Cowboys.
sound stopped near end. i miss harry karris and his voice made football that much better.

Well put-agreed.
After 17 seasons the Broncos finally had it going this year
I was at every game that year in the old Mile High, Denver was finally on the map!!
I miss their old uniforms, go Orange Crush🐎
The acquisition of Morton was significant. What I really wished the team could've kept was Max Coley as OC and Jerry Frei as the O-line coach. The work they did in '73 was beyond remarkable. Had that '73 team not lost to Oakland in the last game of the year the Broncos would have won the AFC-W outright. Probably would have kept John Ralston as HC as well.

I just wondered if there were any, “back when football was real and men were men!” comments. 🙄

Those Good ol Oilers if Bum Phillips, great highlights

Real football.
Silly to see how many of these 1970s videos showed TDs that never counted because there was a penalty on the play. LOL.
Vikings Bucs playing on Saturday night?
Ah, the great days of the NFL, before the current garbage we witness
interestingly this video does not include the Monday night match up between the Browns and the Patriots which proved to be an epoch shootout
The '77 Falcons defense was as good as anyone - look it up. But their offense was so bad they went 7-7.
129 points given up / 9.2 points per game. A record that will never be eclipsed.
Grits Blitz
LOL! Typical Silverdome; brawls in the stands and trash in the end zone. Everyone in that end must have jettisoned their Noms and started throwing hands😂
This was when NFL was actually ‘watchable’
Sean McVay’s grandfather is in this video as the coach of the New York Giants…John McVay. It’s in the blood.
Whenever someone asks me who my favorite team is I always tell them whoever is playing Dallas!
Blocked a punt with hi face. Bet that didn't go over to good lol😅
Why no voice during the Steelers and Raiders.
thats when football was really real. Real men playing there asses off.
Anyone knows the name of the tune of the Cowboys and Giants highlights of 1977 It reminds me of Calgary, Alberta
No audio for the last 5 minutes
Last 14 game season 🤔
That music at 9:45 is really weird sounding music that was used in that years super bowl highlights
Wimps today wouldn't stand a chance
the 1972 dolphins, the absolute best of the best from the 1970s, would be down by 50 points at halftime to modern day Alabama or Georgia

Not a single team or player from this era could survive in in today’s NFL.
They changed the rules because most of these so called tough guys are now brain damaged.

Real men playing football. Not kids like we see today.
Kids? Okay…
Not whining pre Madonna's making millions complaining to the refs about an offensive offsides penalty. (Crybaby Mahomes)
Back before everyone had their own “brand” or “narrative.”
@ 18:12
What happened to the audio?
Copyright issues?
I didn’t know this many Russians were watching the NFL back then. Do something about the trollbots already, CZcams
Sound cuts out @ 18:10
Sh&t fuzzy what have they done to the NFL
3:12. Is that legal for that many offensive linemen ro be that far downfield?
Kalas was a voice of my childhood. I was crazy about sports as a kid, now most players are prima donnas not worthy of watching.
When they just played football and did not act like a bunch of clowns dancing after every play
When football was just football when you could afford a ticket when it wasn't full off hype and shit like it is nowadays
#SportsAreRigged #TheFixIsIn Look up the original owners an their ties to the Mob. All about the point spread(s) not who wins or loses...
Rooney ran North East gambling. Now we have Draft Kings
These guys are not your teeth down your throat knock your head off etcetera

game as did ugly uniforms!
