NFL 1987 Season - Week 14 Highlights - THE NFL TODAY

[swaugertim]

brent musberger, irv cross, these guys were the best. they had the advantage of working in football's golden age, the 70's and 80's. they set the standard. i loved the nbc coverage of the afc package as well but for me the cbs crew was the best. pat summerall and john madden were the best game announcers. thanks for uploading.

CBS lost the NFL in 1993 and got it back in 1998 (AFC) ....... NFC is on FOX

[WildBill6942]

I prefer these days over the clowns they have on the halftime shows now. Today it's nothing but 5-6 ex-players and coaches yuckin it up the whole time talking about themselves and their fuckin opinions while throwing plugs for the networks and their stupid shows. 

[Lotmeister]

@WildBill6942 Especially on Fox. Watching their show is like watching a bunch of frat guys who talk about football every so often.

[WildBill6942]

@Lotmeister -- no kidding, FOX is the worst. And what's up with the stupid robot in pads that keeps popping up on the screen during a game? Very annoying.

[cavalierfan1995]

was that the year the bengals went to the super bowl or was it 88

[ycdtotv]

@cavalierfan1995 Bengals went to the super bowl during the 1988 season.

[JEEminn3000]

Funny @3:18 the rams under st. louis for the wildcard berth LOL

[11kful]

The rise of Randall Cunningham in the "Rocket Man" years..The new "in the grasp" rule" came up...the way it changed how you hit QB's....

[jdog34505]

that same spot Irv Cross is standing at is where Mall of america is at now

[williamgraynard]

was carson injured the reason why he was there or had they played a saturday game?

[DNSKansas]

@williamgraynard Giants beat Green Bay 20-10 on Saturday. NYG went 6-9 in their Super Bowl defense, 0-3 in replacement games.

[djianh]

Great stuff. Love how Brent called the Saints comeback in the 2nd half.

[defnyung]

Man, I miss these good old NFL games on CBS with Brent.

[TTOMO]

The head turn at 1:02 should be made into a gif.

[simpsonsfan2007]

Weird to see a player named Vick against the Eagles...LOL

[kdotmassiv]

LMAO @ 1:13...good to see that some things never change..

[Sean1983]

@kdotmassiv And as it turned out, New Orleans beat Cincinnati 41-24 that day.

[kdotmassiv]

@Sean1983 ----LMAO!!! I didnt know that, but damn..I feel so much more validated...lol

[SWO4LIFE]

dude love this old shit...fuck im old 2!!

[ahoneanatwo]

Great halftime feature on the Vikings-Cowboys Hail Mary Playoff Game of '75....one note of interest, if Irv Cross stood on that site where Metropolitan Stadium once stood today in 2010, he would be inside the Mall of America

[assdaddy29]

Musburger was the best NFL studio guy ever. Everyone on ESPN still does his "you are looking live at" and he still works there. I think I heard it on around the horn today.

[ultraback29]

Hard to believe that Musburger has spent more time at ABC than at CBS. It's even sadder that many folks, especially young people, know him as a career college football announcer.

[FutureNewsAnchor]

If Brent Musberger had not been fired from CBS Sports, do you think he'd still be the host of The NFL Today?

[crawford371]

@FutureNewsAnchor he would have stayed on until then the NFL switched over the NFC contract over to fox after the 1993 season.

[jdelachjr2002]

For the record, the Giants played Green Bay on Saturday afternoon not Monday night.

[HamptonRoadsTVFan]

@jdelachjr2002 Thanks.

[HamptonRoadsTVFan]

Any explanation as to Harry Carson's appearance?

[JacuzziBooty]

@HamptonRoadsTVFan I was wondering the same thing. Maybe he was injured, or maybe played on Mon night and was available to come in for a guest appearance?

[HamptonRoadsTVFan]

@JacuzziBooty Just looked it up. The Giants had a Monday Night game vs. Green Bay at the Meadowlands; which they went on to win 20-10 (too little, too late for Big Blue from a postseason standpoint).

[ycdtotv]

@HamptonRoadsTVFan The '86-'88 Packer teams were God awful. You should have beaten us 50-10!

[HamptonRoadsTVFan]

@ycdtotv Actually, I'm a Pittsburgh fan.
