Since I'm a Vikings fan here I go: 1969: 10-3 loss to Falcons in the "Sunny South" during a mud bowl. Last game of the season with nothing on the line, but still!!! Falcons only TD on a fumble return. Falccons go 6-8. 1970: 20-10 loss to a 4-10 Jets team in week 11 quarterbacked by Al Wood...

I've noticed that Miami host 4 early season games on Saturday nights and non were televised. Why were these games played on Saturday nights? Because of the potential for oppressive heat in Miami in September/early October?

I agree that the 1970 season is one of the most unusual with lots of mediocrity for some reason. I still say the Vikings win the SB that year if Joe Kapp had stuck around for 1 more season. Not that he had Hall of Fame talent but his leadership was sorely missed in 70 and 71 when the Vikes had great...

I know PFW made a comeback at some point and I had a online subscription for a couple years. Do you guys remember Football Digest? I believe tha...

For me, it's gotta be Charlie Jones. He seemed to always be the #2 or #3 PBP guy at NBC but he was really good at his craft!

I will say this: The networks have treated it like a top notch league although I don't think any of the broadcast teams are 1s or 2s.

It was almost like the result of that game was predetermined!!! I don't have to look at that YouTube link as I remember too much of it!
