[I187blackshot]

Fuck they used to be good wtf

[VETTE811]

SWEET... I REMEMBER THIS GAME ... I WAS 14 YRS OLD AND MY DAD LET ME STAY UP TO WATCH THIS MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME.... THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES........

[use2slam2]

back in 72' Pruitt ran a 40 yd dash against Bob Hayes on the short lived "pro track circuit" Hayes at 31 made the young Pruitt look like a slug,he beat him by over 2 yards if it had been 60 or more he would have been smoked by 10+

[RKONEVAL3]

THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO... THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO... I REMEMBER THIS GAME.... I WAS 14 YRS OLD AND MY DAD LET ME STAY UP TO WATCH THIS MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME ..... THOSE WERE GREAT TIMES FOR ALL OF US IN CLEVELAND AND IT BROUGHT BACK THOSE FEELINGS.... DONT WORRY ABOUT ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS..... YOUR A GREAT BROWNS FAN... " THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES "

[sportshistorybuff]

This was the game when Drew Pearson ran an end zone route, didn't catch

the ball, then bent over and vomited on national television. According to

Hollywood Henderson's biography, Pearson had a weak stomach and

did this frequently in practise and games,

[dallas5sb]

Cosell peeing in his pants after every Brown td. Cosell says nothing on Dallas drive. Hes a clown who said the Cowboys wouldn't have had the success if they played in the afc in the 70s? At that time they were 31-10 vs the afc teams over the years. What a clown. Later I heard he attended a Steelers function actually missing an NFL event.

[FRSFreeStatePlus]

The Doomsday Cowboys against the Cardiac Kids great matchup

[kwolf68]

Were the Browns the "Cardiac Kids" in 1979? I didn't think they got that nic' until that 1980s season. Not that it's a major thing, but that 1980 Browns team was fun...you'd see the score and they'd be losing 28-0 at halftime and then later on they had won 38-35 or something. They were something else.

[franksfunfarm]

I wish the NFL network and/or ESPN Classic would broadcast the old MNF games in their entirety starting from the 1st game (Jets & Browns). Most of us forgot who won and is still exciting to watch.

[kwolf68]

@franksfunfarm ... The NFL Network sucks. It blows blow blows...BLOWS. They did broadcast Americas Game, which was good, but mostly its just over-saturating of the current games. NFL-N doesn't give a shit about football history...when I contrast the NFL-N to the Major League Baseball-N, it's laughable. New football fans should learn the history of this great game, because I BELIEVE it was a much greater game at one time.

[dukenthaylor]

6:16 - Uh-oh...Gatorade! ADVERTISING!!! XD

[jamdawg]

where is part 1?



[2000steady]

Don was great.

[badazzfeliciano]

RIP Daddy Don

[geor1717]

I love seeing this considering all the gay ass Cowboy fans that live here in Las Vegas...GO BROWNS!!!

[slaterms11]

7:29 Is that President Ford smoking a pipe? They won't even allow Obama to smoke his cigarettes in public.

[edpalermo13]

Remember watching this one as a kid in the seventies.... I have to say that the spectacle of MNF was due to the great, Howard Cosell..... He made you feel like the game was the center of the universe... Never be another.....

[ThePncntrl]

WOW!!! I went to this game. Browns tore up the cowpokes. Great memories. I wore Jerry Sherks' number in high school ball. Really cool videos.

[SELAHPAUSE]

i was at this game this game, heck i was at all the games that year.....yeah, yeah, for real....i was a vendor......lol......man those were the good days....coach sam was the man...ozzie is the greatest.....boy that was some glory days for the browns...these days i do not follow sports anymore.....

[clippers3473]

great old school football post. love the quality. thanks.

[callofdutymw21]

Have the browns ever won a superbowl

[ricanpap1909]

@callofdutymw21 the Browns have won championships before the Superbowl was brought in, but no Superbowl

[ErikS1975FreeState]

Great pass & catch & I love Frank Gifford as a analyst or play by play a very versatile Sportscaster.

[buckskipper]

This is what Heaven must be like!!!!!!!

[jme8953]

BRING BACK THE ORANGE PANTS!!

[gfpirate]

I was a teenager when this game was played. I remember several articles written about Howard Cosell in which he said the Cowboys were the most overrated team on the decade and that they wouldn't even have been in the Super Bowl if they played in the AFC.

[cardchaos27]

go browns!!!!!!! but now were going down the drain our team sucks

[SteelLegends]

What a joke of a franchise!

[frtnokr]

I like seeing that 17 on someone that is NOT a disgrace to the Browns. Like to see the # retired, as well as 57(amongst others)

[xxchinookxx]

I can't never find these original Dallas blue jerseys anywhere on this planet why? Jerry Jones needs to have them made for Cowboy fans...these are the REAL throwback jerseys not the ones with the star on the sleeves. WAKE UP JERRY!....All this superstition about the blue jerseys & bad luck is all in the head. A team must win in both white & dark jerseys.......

[woodchucko]

I love the Browns. I hope they can get out of that list of teams that have never been to the super bowl soon.

[frtnokr]

@woodchucko not just out of the "final 4" of teams that haven't been, but win the thing, for our 5th NFL Championship

[kthburke]

pronkb000 is exactly right. That was Schramm's rationale for wearing white at home and the blue jersey jinx was real (losses at Cleve in late 60's,and Cards would wear white in mid 70's). In SB V, Dal was the designated home team, but the NFL ordered the home team to wear dark, so you had the weird deal that Dal and Colts both wore their road jerseys. In 2005 season, Pitt chose to wear white in SB cuz they won 3 road playoff games in white jerseys, but it was their choice

[indyur1]

Who is number 27 in this years Browns?

Cuz a football player went 2 our school and his number was 27, and i got his autograph. =D

[jtomrx]

Thom Darden #27,  ALL PRO

[dagrabill68]

miss the old stadium and the old Browns.

[859jack]

holly shit! nice catch!

[WatchVenusSpa]

Brian Sipe!

Chuzpah forever!!!

[krierp8]

I always liked the blue jerseys the Cowboys wore in the 1970s. I can never understood why they never wear the blue unis at home back then and even today. (BTW i'm not a Cowboys fan!)

[pronkb000]

The Cowboys have never worn dark at home. Their original owner Tex Schramm wanted home fans to see the other team's colored jerseys, so he had the Cowboys always wear white. The blue shirts were considered "bad luck."

[Bexly]

Thanks for the post! This what the Browns are missing... A real ID. Kardiac Kids Dawg Pound...... We need it back!

[Evanmmoody]

GO BROWNS THEY ROCK

[rstinohio1]

only if the browns were like that today!

[BRIANROX1]

i bet if it wasnt for modell they would still be a competeing team.

[howardroard]

now the baltimore ravens

[mrjfrostbite]

I take offense to that. This team has NO relation to the Baltimore Ravens or the current version of the Browns. Brian Sipe NEVER played for the Ravens

[BRIANROX1]

if it wasnt for the browns...the ravens wouldnt exsist right now

[InsideTheNFL1]

@mrjfrostbite So this team is the real browns team with the rich history of JIM BROWN .

[mrjfrostbite]

@InsideTheNFL1 That is correct. they are the equivalent of cousins to the Ravens and the current version of the Browns but definitely not the same team.

[mgordon1964]

Sipe looks Tom Bradyesque... or Brady looks Sipe-esque!

[mgordon1964]

The field does look small! Have NFL fields grown larger or do the more advanced wide angle camera's make them look larger?

[BRIANROX1]

they probably have cameras to make them look bigger cuz inperson the field is looks so much smaller then on TV

[ambrose79]

the field is small

[temujin333]

the orange pants were awesome

[bluejacketsman86]

i loved that old scoreboard

[the82spartans]

I remember this time in history. I just saw my first Browns game in Cleveland to a OT loss to the Bengals.

What a great deal the Kardiac Kids were. I luv the Browns!

[ramjet1962]

heat that JAMMED PACKED STADIUM!!!! Wasn't making money. Art the A-hole

[jwilharm]

Love President Ford smoking the pipe!

[DeadWombat1421]

man, I dream for this kind of football coming from cleveland nowadays

[wolfmanrick]

now i may be from pittsburgh but the browns from the 70's where very cool

[hodadsmusic]

That shows a lot of class. The reason why a lot of Cleveland fans dislike Pittsburgh fans is they have the impression that all Pittsburgh fans are a-holes who don't understand that the Browns existed before 1999. Kudos to you for the kind words and hopefully some day the real rivalry between the Browns and Steelers will return!

[Weissmenchland]

Shut the fuck up Cosell. Blowhard.

[kvarsity10]

I feel badly for Browns fans. I have lucked out being born and raised in Massachusetts. However, watching some of these Browns highlights, they more than deserve some great years. Great fans have always been behind them. Their time has come!!!

[dolphinbuc]

Brian Sipe is definitely one of the most underrated QB's of all time.This guys deserves more respect.

[gpogv5]

I was there that night for MNF. I had season tickets.

I loved Coach Sam and still do!

These were the real browns not this farce since 99!

[sharpasaneraser]

why would you end it on a cowboys td?

are u really a browns' fan?

[jtomrx]

10min max LIMIT on U-TUBE upoads, Vid ends at 10min, regardless. I dont make the rules, sorry!

[sharpasaneraser]

ize kiddin

[jamezpackerfan]

browns won anyway 27-7 i think

[DawgcityClev]

THIS IS AWESOME!! GO BROWNS!!

This is the real Cleveland Browns. Not these frauds we've seen since 99'

[kushisaac]

MNF was so much fun back then, also, love that Dallas offensive line set, I had forgotten about that.

[volstar88]

Howard goes into a biography whenever the player scores a TD. Dandy Don sounds sick after the interception.

[jamezpackerfan]

Of course. He was the Cowboys original quarterback. Go Browns!!!!!!

[volstar88]

jamezpackerfan,partial. True he was the QB for Dallas in the famed "icebowl" which was the greatest NFL game IMO.

[bear1ge]

This was the first game I ever saw the Browns play thus the love affair began and Dallas is still my girl on the side:) thanks for this footage. Please post more of this team (75-83)

[Obelisk2290]

cockcroft and cox i think were the last straight on kickers

[babysinister]

I think Mark Mosely of the Redskins was the last straight on kicker.

[Obelisk2290]

you may be right he was straight on

[dtljphde58]

are u talking about steve cox

[Obelisk2290]

dont recall the first name but he played for the vikings also i forgot tom dempsey

[Wrcoach2]

You're trying to think of FRED Cox. He played in the 60's and 70's for the Vikes.

Steve Cox was a Punter/Long Distance Kicker for the Browns and Redskins. He's actually part of the 60 yard Field Goal Club

[volstar88]

What about Russell Erxleban who played at Texas.

[Obelisk2290]

I did not know he was a place kicker there I just rememer him as punter for the saints who got famous for sending a punt so high in the superdome it hit the scoreboard

[volstar88]

Obelisk2290, decided to look up Erxleben. He was the 11th player picked in the draft of 1979, very high for a kicker. After missing numerous field goals he was relieved of those duties...LOL. He made a 67 yd field goal at Texas and still owns the record with Steve Little of Arky. So you are basically correct, he was a punter for 10 years for the most part. He was awesome in college though.

[Obelisk2290]

I remember Tony Franklin of Texas kicking a 67 yard field goal barefoot in college

[areaman714]

yeah . . . most kickers today are gay . . . there were more straight kickers back then . . .

[AbuGrabIt]

The Cowboys possible touchdown was cut?!?! Damn!!!

[jamezpackerfan]

Thom Darden is beast.

[jose196937]

cowboys were getting their buts kicked!!

[jose196937]

Where is the rest of it!!!!!!!

[funnyfood47]

Brian Sipe is my football coach

[ninja1976420]

kickers my bad..

[ninja1976420]

you dont see kicks kick the ball straight on any more.

[jaypt5281982]

tha kardiac kids were beasts!

[doggskull]

It sounds like Cosell and Gifford, 99% sure that's the duo. GO BROWNS!

[hollywoodwerewolf]

was that Howard Cossell?

[jtomrx]

YES

[dawglb08]

Romo will just choke anyway. He is good at that. Congrats on beating a team that had 7 starters missing and the ones that did play had not played in 3 weeks. Wow! your so good. You should of won 65 to nothing. losers

[Kako9482]

fag

[dacowboysrockall]

DA BOYS ARE BACK!!!! cowboys 4 life!

[wmd66]

I was in 7th grade when this game was played and remember watching it on Monday Night Football with my Dad...a great memory. Thanks for posting. Go Browns !!

[courthouse96]

Aren't the Cleveland Browns one of the few teams left in the NFL who haver never been to the Super Bowl? This game was probably their team highlight for the last 29 years.

[tcmad007]

haha so true

[cbaldwinjr]

Of the original 26 teams from the merger, only Cleveland and New Orleans have yet to get to a Super Bowl. In the expansion era, the Texans and Jags are the other teams. All other 28 teams have been to at least one Super Bowl

[hbland]

The Lions haven't been to a Super Bowl either.

[clevelandkid1]

allright thanks for the class not some junky retarded video

[ninja1976420]

thank you..

[DavidSush]

How awesome to see this stuff. Thanks, dude. These are the Browns I grew up watching -- the exciting Kardiac Kids. I hope we see an instant replay opening day 2008. Go Browns. Beat those Cowboys. Screw America's team. What a B.S. title. America's team? Why? Who says? Nobody in Cleveland, that's for sure.

[tcmad007]

america says bitch that opener game yah i watched it from dallas texas and there were alotof fucking cowboys jerseys THATS WHY

[dawglb08]

A preview to opening day bitches!!! SEPT 7TH 2008

[dacowboysrockall]

[xxpandamidknightxx]

Go Browns.

[floridapmi]

they just beat our ass that night. go cowboys

[iam01]

This is the best shit I've seen on Utube. Go Cowboys!

[2007bugman]

This is awesome stuff bro! Brings back memories of my childhood. Thank you very much!

[notlehp33]

Great post. Cleveland had the misfortune of playing in the same division with the two best teams in the league from 1978 thru 1980, Pittsburgh & Houston. Would have made the playoffs in 78 & 79 if not for those two. The Bengals thru in a spoiler for them back then too. Started off 4-0 in 1979 and still did not make the playoffs. Dallas did not know what hit them on that night.

[StrayDogg2442]

Is Ford in the owner's box with Modell?

[jtomrx]

Yes !

[starsstanley99]

i hate the dallas cowgirls!!

[ESPNisalliwatch]

i hate the cleveland greens

[starsstanley99]

and i hate tony homo!!

[ESPNisalliwatch]

yeah, tony romo doesnt get a minor concussion and is about to lose his starting job now is he? no...

goodbye anderson, you had a sorta good run.lets go quinn.

[woodycoat]

I was 4yrs old. Not old enough to see/remember so thanks for posting. Being a Browns fan living in Dallas I can't wait for the first game this year. Go Browns!

[pizer10]

I was at this game when I was only 8 years old. I was a big Roger Staubach, Dallas Cowboy fan from Youngstown , Ohio. The only thing I remember from the game was my parents being pissed off in traffic going to the game and Drew Pearson throwing up right in front of me.

[babysinister]

Yes, I remember that...Drew Pearson threw up orange gatorade on national tv. Just came gushing out. I thought I dreamed this up. Is this in the video here?

[oldredbarnman]

You're right, that did happen in this game. Just as the camera zoomed in,

RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLP­PPPPPHHHHHHHHH!

[DickBooCocky]

On Sep.7,08 The Browns will give the Cowgirls another ass kicking!!!

[holmidiwifyoumouf]

LMFAO, your an idiot

[parappa1023]

ur an idiot bitch fuck the cowgirls

[gerlock11]

What fantastic footage. I was 8 and was allowed to stay up for the first half hour or so before I had to go to bed. I was fascinated by the fact that tbe Browns were playing on Monday night, they were at home on TV, and the Cowboys were wearing their blue jerseys (none of which I had ever seen before).

Amazing to see how times have changed. The heydey of MNF is long gone, and now you take for granted all games are on TV.

[josephhopkins1]

That was a nice pick by Darden. This is such great footage. If you have more games like this please post them!

[Mark271792]

Can't wait for Week 1. Cowboys @ Browns!!!!!!!

[whiteythe13th]

Hell yes... I now live in Kansas City and am glad that it's a nationally televised game.

[regorsrednas]

I remember this game as a Browns fan, could barely get through the school day waiting for this game. The old stadium, the great fans they can't take away those memories. Go Browns!

[leehec]

not a great night for my cowboys but 5 stars for putting this classic game on here man u must have had the very first vcr or beta machine lol props to u jtom COWBOYS 4 LIFE!!!

[appletonnorth]

Cosell was constroversial. But the guy was awsome on MNF. The contrast between him and Meredith was so striking but it worked along with Gifford's low-key play-by-play. It made MNF an event. Michaels and Madden were very good also. But Tirico, Cornheiser, and Jaws-I Don't think so.

[lucki39284]

Brian Sipe. He got the job done.

[wolfatnight]

Love Brian Sipe - underrated

[johnpalazzo]

I wish I could see more of the 79 and 80 Browns. This video was great, I hope it stays posted. I love watching Sipe improvise that TD to Ozzie and the Thom Darden interception for another TD. Also it was cool to hear Cosell all these years later and realize that he and Meredith didn't really mesh too well. It's obvious now, I didn't pick that up when I was a kid watching...

[DRbiohazard]

I've been hoping to see some old MNF games

from Cosell's days in the booth...Thanks for

posting this!

[selloutasaurus]

I moved my video response over to part one. Thanks again for this great MNF game! Excellent!

[johnboy779]

Actually, I'm not so sure the Cowboys were much better. I'm a Steeler fan, and I remember two very hard-fought battles with the Browns that year (1979), while Dallas was not quite the same team it was in '77 or '78. Anyway, jtomrx, this is INCREDIBLE footage--you gotta post more! Thanks for this.

[selloutasaurus]

I wanted to see more football, so I sent you more football (video response above). More to come. Thanks. Browns fans are okay in my book.

[rozellemaker]

As he went running by the browns bench the players and coaches were laughing so hard that ozzie newsome fell on the ground. After the game a reporter asked "big daddy" why he didn't make a cut and avoid the tackle. He said he couldn't because he was going too fast.

[rozellemaker]

As a browns fan I think it ended just in time. Ha Ha. I hope that the rest of the game will be posted soon. Thanks jtomrx for putting this video on. Great fun to watch. Has my alltime favorite brown clay mathews. It seemed like just about everytime clay intercepted a pass he would lateral to a teammate. He once lateralled to carl "big daddy" hairston a big defensive lineman who ran down the sidelines right in front of the browns bench for about 70 yards and almost scored a touchdown.

[jtomrx]

Browns 26 & Dallas 7, It was never really much of a game, except for Browns fans, LOL. Most of the Game (scoring) was played in the 1st-half (actually 1st qtr). The remainder of the game is basically exchanging Punts. This is all that I will probably Post of this game. Thanks & pleeeze "rate", J.

[selloutasaurus]

Hey! Cowboy fan here saying, hats off to the Browns in this one, but what happened at the end of the video! Looks like a TD for Dallas!? Please air Part 4, and not the Heidi Bowl. More football, please. Thanks dude.
