[SDCsRevenge]

Chuck Mangione at at 2:02!

[SDCsRevenge]

@SDCsRevenge My bad, Herb Alpert!

[SDCsRevenge]

I love that music at the beginning

[Braydonkline123]

Actually, its been seen by 43, 149 people..

[fassman316]

JAWS!

[skywalker7327]

Jaworski still has the record in my opinion. NFL banned shoulder pad hits in 1998 and of course did a lot more bullshit on protecting white QBs. P. Manning, who knows if that guy would even make it in 1980's NFL. Archie was tougher. Archie could run too. Manning played 200 straight. No way could Manning or Brady do that in 1980's.Look it up people NFL banned shoulder pad hits in 1998.

[VanillaLimeCoke]

What StarStuff episode is this from???

Do you still have the whole episode?

[hoppy37]

he was a good qb....  played when the division was good not like it was under andy ried

[Heatblast667]

OMG MY LAST NAME IS JAWORSKI!!! IM NOT KIDDING

[watchit20110]

..RON JAWORSKI, THAT STUPID FAT-FACED POLACK. HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO THROW IT TO ROD MARTIN BEFORE YOU REALIZE HE'S ON THE OTHER TEAM? ..HEY COACH, HE KEEPS RUNNING THE WRONG WAY......

[rjflesher]

The pride of Lackawnna, NY.

[DJSANTA5]

Looks like a pon star and a pervert.

[interstate84man]

greatest by far!!by farthe greatest NFC EAST QB DURING THE LATE 70'S-EARLY EIGHTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FRSFreeState]

Ron Jaworski really proved his worth in 1980 and I'm a Redskin fan so I hate the Eagles

[gfscarface13]

COWBOYS 5 > eagles 0

[skw4712]

What's with the porn music at 2:02?

[Juniversal]

@skw4712...lol porn music. Great song tho. Herb Alpert - Rise. It's the song that Notorious B.I.G - Hypnotize samples.

[atlmycity2]

Ron Jaworski always has sumn bad to say about Mcnabb and Vick. I hate that racist prick! Vick / Mcnabb are 10 times better and jawarski sucks! hes nothing to write home about. I heard he used to be a qb, just wanted to confirm just how much he sucked

[bellatancredi]

@atlmycity2 You really must not watch football. Ron Jaworski is and was one of Mcnabbs biggests fans. He has nothing but great stuff to say about Mcnabb and Vick. Are you Kidding me. Have you ever watch a game were Mcnabb or Vick were playing and Ron Jaworski was the commentator. He stood up for Mcnabb and Vick when others trashed them. Get your facts straight before you call him racist. Maybe you are the one who is racist.

[6400az]

@atlmycity2

Are you serious here, or your just desperate for a response?

[ultraback29]

A Buffalo area native becoming an Eagle? I think that's odd.

[Apsu72]

Jaws Rulez Get off his dilznik

[2007sonata]

from 1979-1980 season!

[torr5962]

He had a load in his pants the size of Alaska before the Super Bowl. Just a huge choke.

[gfscarface13]

ZERO SuperBowls

[hop2171]

Say it AGAIN!!

[gfscarface13]

ZERO SuperBowls for the Gay Choking eagles

[hop2171]

Music to me years baby! the only good eagles fan is a dead one!

[gfscarface13]

Eagles dominated in the 2000's Decade, 5 Division titles, 5 NFC Title games and STILL NO RINGS!!!!!

LOL

Oh wait, they have a SuperBowl Runner-Up Ring

NFC Conference Ring

I didnt know they gave those out to the superbowl Losers LOL

To make them feel better LOL

NO LOMBARDI TROPHIES FOR GAY PHILLY

[hop2171]

Yeah you got a good point they did get a "runner up" ring and they did lose a LOT of NFC championship games so thats gotta count for something, lol. I love it when eagle fans try to say those "championships" they won back when JFK was alive are just as good as a superbowl! I fall right out of my chair when i read that comeback! hahahahaha

[gfscarface13]

NFL Network Presents 2000's Philadelphia Eagles Missing Rings

McNabb "We dominated in the 2000's decade, 5 division crowns, 5 NFC Title games but look at my fingers, I have no SuperBowl RIng, but its ok cause I dont really care if Philly wins a SuperBowl, I just cant come through in the Clutch, I Choke, simple as that, I Choke in Big Games"

Andy Reid "Im surprised im still the Coach here in superbowless town, I hope they Fire McNabb first than me, I need the Bail out Money for my Son"

[ultrazproductions]

Let me be blunt, the Patriots stole atleast two of the dynasty rings. They taped the teams practicing before the game, an illegal action. It's illegal because it give you the distinct advantage. They should have beat the Eagles by allot more considering the 1up they had on the Eagles, only 3 points.

[gfscarface13]

Your point?

[Dev17cmd]

Damn playboy... u suppose 2 be the Phillies nightmare but instead u block u fagget

[AwesomeBeatles]

This guy is the worst commentator ever. I watched The Ravens Packers game last night. This guy is so biased against The Ravens. It is difficult to watch. Fire this poser. What a joke.

[MrClipper23]

@AwesomeBeatles

He's the smartest xs and os commentator out there.

[hop2171]

Yeah if you are f'in retarded or an eagles fan he might be, please

[hop2171]

Thank you!! 100% correct!

[IamPillmatic]

VICK SHOULD HAVE NEVEER GOT HIS NUMBER

[hop2171]

why not? they both blow

[lb33isu]

What a good guy is Jaworski, and I've always liked what I've seen of him, from his early playing days through the present (2009 as an analyst). It's interesting that, at least from the evidence in this clip, he was more articulate in 1980 than he is now. Also, though he's far from a jerk now, he seemed like a nicer and more pleasant person then.

[Kingbub09]

Ron Jaworski, the Polish rifle...

[88mpny]

@Kingbub09 Ron's the man when i was a kid i had his Eagles card that said on the back his nickname "the polish rifle" and i was able to find the same card recently in great shape for 75 cents... this time i wont let it go. RJ #7 big fan. he was classy then and still is today. unlike these flashy ingrates playing today.

[88mpny]

@Kingbub09 No doubt. I found his football card I had from my childhood in a used toy store that said that on the back. I also had a RJ card that said on the back he could throw a football throw a carwash and not get it wet. My favorite QB ever.

[azbaldy5]

JAWS got the eagles to the super bowl they may not have been the most talented but they were well coached and had THE # 1 DEFENSE IN THE NFL that's what got them there.

[BarFAN21]

damn he was one ugly football player

[1radstallion]

seriously. poor kid. and quarterbacks are supposed to be the best lookers.

[fatcatsathat]

I wouldn't say that. However, you could say that a lot of the passes were wobbly.

I didn't all that many spirals.

[WWETNAwrestlingfan15]

I wouldn't talk bud. He may not be a pretty boy, but his job was to play QB, to look like a supermodel isn't apart of the job description. And he's done pretty well for himself. He owns several golf clubs, owned part interest of the AFL's Philadelphia based team, and does color commentary for Monday Night Football. If you wanna call him ugly that's fine, just don't forget to add rich before the word ugly bud.

[BarFAN21]

i dont care

[WWETNAwrestlingfan15]

Who asked for your opinion? I'm just giving you facts bud. The guy has done more with his life than you probably ever will.

[BarFAN21]

did i ask for you facts fat boy

[WWETNAwrestlingfan15]

? Are you delusional, retarded, or just plain stupid? What makes you think you can see me? And even if I was fat, so what? What do you have against fat people? You must think you're perfection or something, judging how other people look. Stop wasting your time and do something useful instead of bashing people online.

[RipperEagle96]

LMAO!!!

Hey I am fat! Just don't grab random insults.

[BarFAN21]

ok i'll take your advice thanks buddy

[silkmoney]

Eagles Legend!

[tincup147]

RUN the FOOTBALL!!!!!!

THROW the FOOTBALL!!!!!

EAT the FOOTBALL!!!!!

[URignorant04]

There should be more shows like NFL match up with Jaws and Sal Paolantonio. I hate all these fantasy football people who don't know shit about the actual game. X's and O's are what it's all about

[cool389311]

i am related to him no lie

[nicknkeia]

Jaws' was really the 1980 NFL MVP? WOW i didnt kno that!

[broad7street5bully]

im a huge eagles fan and i cant stand ron jaworski he talks like he was fuckin joe montana. besides that GO EAGLES BRING ON THE G MEN!

[xxblksabbathxx]

1980 NFL MVP, so he's not just a nerdy announcer. he's the POLISH RIFLE

[hop2171]

Are you kidding me? He BLOWS!! See him in that "80 Superbowl? He found Rod Martin 3 fuckin times!! This guy sucked and he sucks even worse as a MNF annoucer!! Get a life eagles fag!! hahahhaha

[USCTrojan12]

Never got to see him play but I can't believe he was a QB (or player, for that matter)

But from what I hear on Mondays he just seems like such a fucking dork lol

[insanerschannel]

Jaws is so annoying I can't stand monday night football anoymore.

[thebarkeaters]

Amen to that!!! Jaws has to be the most annoying annuocer of all time... close under Joe Buck...

[USCTrojan12]

Kornheiser's the worst

[tmanct]

Youngstown State. Jaws has a good head on his shoulders.

[hockeyr0x1098]

who did he play college for?

[janboblarry]

fuck all u mcnabb haters hes better then this guy is anyway .

[xxchinookxx]

I love the OLD SCHOOL Disco....When I was at Ft.Dix N.J; while at Boot Camp,in the Army,I took a week end trip to Philly and boogied my ass off at the clubs.

[rpmartin01]

What a thoughtful guy. It is refreshing to hear an athlete speak so well without giving the cliche "one game at a time" bullcrap. You can see from this clip that he was going to be successful in front of a camera. Nice work!

[janboblarry]

mcnabb would've one the super bowl in 1980!

[jaimesandoval1988]

Raiders rocked him in the 1980 super bowl. GO RAIDERS!

[mcnabbistheman]

i love the eagles and i love you guys of the raider nation! but i do like the eagles more

[jaimesandoval1988]

I love the Raiders and dont like the rest of the league.

[angus94]

4-12

[jaimesandoval1988]

0 Superbowls!!

[slizzy30]

jaworski may have replaced theismann in the booth, but joe's got the ring.

[hop2171]

And Joe has the brains!!

[janboblarry]

mcnabb is way better and cooler then him

[bleekblock]

Jaworski can speak in cogent sentences

[janboblarry]

yeah thats true i just hate it how he always throw in int 2 lose the game.

[svetaswan]

(Being nosey) Is he still married to the same woman who is seen in this video?

[stratman1512]

great stuff esoecially the video on Wilbert Montgomery

[MrAlleyezbonme]

yo what up JAWZ!!! you da man, love how you break down film on espn!

[pewsterbaby]

JDLombardi, that song was "Rise" by Herb Alpert. It was an instrumental featuring trumpet as primary instrument. It was sort of an answer to "Feeling Good" by Chuck Mangione. Both instrumentals climbed high on the Billboard charts in the late seventies when I was a kid. This would NEVER happen today. The American public doesn't have the musical attention span or imagination anymore to appreciate good musicians at their craft. It's sad. And hey, I'm a ROCK afficianado.

[tvpirate05]

I'm 25, and both of those songs get regular rotation in my music library...speaking of which, I just changed my Myspace song from "Feels So Good" to Herb Alpert's "Rotation" lol. I don't have time for the garbage the media calls "music" nowadays.

[pewsterbaby]

Cool man, or should I say "smooooth". You know what I loved about Rise? The way it kinda sounds like it belongs at the calm aftermath of a Japanese monster movie. Like with the main characters standing on a bluff looking at the sunset. I really dug the last few repeating ambient blasts Herb gives at the very end. it's totally like he's sending the jam outwards, over the horizon, during the fade out. I think that's so cool you gave a reply. I started playing a Fender Strat at 34, and I'm IMMERSED

[SoulTomato]

I wish he still talked normal like this instead of the "hyperactive" toolbox he sounds like now. I love his work and NFL Matchup is one of the best shows on TV, but that persona is annoying, almost to Dickie V proportions. And by the way, it certainly is a schtick that was clearly never there before he developed in on ESPN.

[saturn11]

"hyperactive toolbox" is the perfect description!! You nailed it SoulTomato!

[jimmytwotimez]

lol i agree. Except you have to remember that journalist have to all talk a certain way without any accents. It sucks but thats the way it has to be.

[JDLombardi]

I just love the funky early-80s music. Great interview. Long live JAWS!

[hockeyguy199169]

im glad he is no any of these tv talk shows cause he knows what he is talking about unlike all these other sports wrighters

[idislikethissomuch]

this man shares my last name.

[keghorn]

where is the video footage of dick vermeil crying?

[SFFOOL76]

lol, no kidding great coach, just very EMO

[keghorn]

where is the footage of dick vermeil crying?

[djonald2007]

how is he related to robert jaworski pro basketball player in the phils. considered the living legend. bec. he played in his 50's playing coach of ginebra gin kings of the PBA.

[statephone]

i loved him as my local qb growing up, and have gorwn to respect him more and more. but the best value of this video is in seeing that his current NFL persona is as fake as dick vitale. i dont know why he decided to complement his knowledge with a bizarre hyperactive speaking style, but this proves its a fake persona

[mongobobo]

not necessarily so. he was much, much younger than. people get pretty wacky when their old.

;-)

[svetaswan]

I don't think the "hyperactivity" is a put-on at all. I have a 1981 Sports Illustrated article on Jaws, and in the article his personality is described as very jovial and effervescent - having a "boy like" enthusiasm.

[SirGrotius]

Good post. Someone's got to let Ray Diddy know about this one.

[NJLouis66]

Sounds like he had a pretty good attitude towards sports and life in general.

[SFFOOL76]

AGREED! What a class act and still a class act to this day!

[tvpirate05]

I read an article about how, after the 1980 season (Super Bowl year), he was a little bummed about losing, but had more of a "We'll get it next year" attitude, and that he was just happy to have had the opportunity to play the game professionally (he kinda refers to it when talking about coming from a small college).

I think he said his only regret was that they actually didn't return to the Super Bowl while he was there...

[svetaswan]

Yes he's very well-spoken, but he sounded different then than he does now! Still, he had "future football analyst" written all over him.

[billsmith33309]

Gotta love those old clips of the Vet. Jaws is very well spoken, you can see back then that he would be very comfortable being an NFL analyst.

[Phillymike77]

Love watching old Eagles films. I grew up with Jaws and Mike Quick. I don't remember 1980 being only 3 but this is good stuff. Nice posting

[JamalDOA]

Yep, the 1980 Eagles. Great season 12-4 under the leadership of Coach Vermeil (he just retired from the Cheifs this past season). Even though they lost the super bowl that year, great team.
