Well, there's a reason why he's considered "THE Voice of NFL Films", even more than 25 years after his death in 1984. Of the eight programs comrpising the NFL Films Legacy Series, which totals 37 videos, six feature Facenda's voice, and five feature Facenda's voice entirely. The 1986 feature "Super Stars of the Super Bowl" features Facenda's voice through the part on Marcus Allen and SB XVIII. The years after that feature the voice of Brad Crandall.
What the entire NRL players make in 1 season, Cutler makes in just 3! So no matter what, NFL or American Football is a much better and much more popular sport.
Love sitting here and hearing people say Rugby is better. Ok s they don't wear pads? Wearing pads means you are able to hit harder thus creating the same impact and pain as with out. This is a much more skilled game and it involves brains, no a bunch of guys basing into eachother. And pay. An entire NRL roster (Professional Rugby League in Australia) makes $4.3 million. Jay Cutler the QB for the Chicago Bears makes $22 million a year. that's 5 times an entire NRL Roster.
This sport sucks lol why doesn't the rest of the world play it? Because it sucks. Go watch the hardest contact sport going, it's called Rugby those MEN don't wear 20 foot shoulder pads or cups or helmets, 200 pound men crashing into each other non stop for 80+ minutes. In American Rugby they stop every 5 seconds gaaaaay.
More likely than not, you've got a computer problem. I know that before I got my new laptop in the last week, I was having the same problem habitually, as videos were taking forever to load, sometimes even in the lowesst resolution (240p), so you've probably got problems with yor computer.
@3:58-4:37,Steve Bartkowski was Falcon bombardier who threw the home run ball better than anybody.Bart had howitzer arm,excellent touch on deep ball,intelligence & height & his timing was 1st-rate.Too Tall Jones was Redwood on wheels & a force for QBs trying to pass through his timber-like presence & some too-high branches.Curtis Dickey had fine size,rocket speed & was more slippery than ice.QB Danny White always had timing,touch,mobility & ball-handling skills & was bright,competitive & poised

Steve Bartkowski had, along with Bert Jones and Terry Bradshaw, the strongest arms in the game at that time, but Bartkowski and Jones had terrible luck concerning injuries. Ed "Too Tall" Jones might be in the Hall of Fame today if he had not tried pro boxing. And as great as Danny White was as a passer, he was to Cowboy QBs what Tony Romo is today, and that's a great passer who can't be depended to win the big games. Teams were never afraid of White like they were of Staubach.
@cjs3872 I have come to defend Danny White for the early 1980s NFC title game losses. I say during the early 1980s, the Cowboys run defense was out the window (SB 13 was the last time they had a truly good run defense for a long time). RT Rayfield Wright retired after 1979, and I say Danny White made WR Tony Hill look a lot better than Hill was for seven years. Danny White was a master at reading defenses and an excellent athlete.
Danny White was terrible in the 1980 NFC Championship Game in Philadelphia [though he was the reason they were there in the first place with that miracle comeback in Atlanta], fumbled when he was driving the Cowboys to a potential game-winning FG in the 1981 NFC Championship Game AFTER Dwight Clark's famous catch, and never seemed to come through when his team really needed it. My point about White was that opponents never feared him in clutch situations like they did Staubach.
@cjs3872 I don't blame White for record 3 straight fumbles in 3 straight NFC title games.Cowboys offensive line lost something when Rayfield Wright retired & Cowboys weren't drafting well since 1975(Thurman's Thieves exception noted).After Clark's "The Catch" White threw incredible pass to Drew Pearson, but next play Dallas pass protection didn't hold up,having to double-team Board on outside(on fumble play)with Rayfield retired & couldn't concentrate more on middle part of pass pocket.
I don't blame White for anything that happened in the '82 NFC Championship game in Washington, but for some reason, White seemed to struggle in the big moments. Some guys have that knack for coming through when the big money is on the line, and some guys don't and White falls into the latter category. That's not to say White was a bad QB. Quite the opposite, in fact. Most of the Cowboy passing records that Tony Romo has set in recent years belonged to White, not Staubach or Aikman.
@cjs3872 I do qualify White as clutch. I will always say that the retirement of RT Rayfield Wright ( making their pass protection iffy) the self-destruction of Hollywood Henderson (making their run defense garbage) and poor drafting crushed their SB goals of the early 1980s.
The one thing about Danny White is that he had a nearly impossible set of expectations upon him. And although he never won a championship, he's one of just a handful of QBs to follow legends and perform at a top level themselves. The greatest of those was, of course, Steve Young, and then I'd put White right up there, considering he followed Staubach. Look at the teams that have lost great QBs to injuries and retirement, and see how long it took them to replace them, if they have.
@cjs3872 Yes, exactly, and the entire team and organization around Danny White were all headed downhill and fast (despite the infusion of Thurman's Thieves).
They weren't headed downhill fast. Their team didn't start to crumble until '84. Remember that the Cowboys won 12 games in each of the first three non-strike seasons White started, and were 7-2 in '82, and accounted for two of the Redskins' 4 losses in 1982-'83. But they couldn't get it done in the post-season. They made a comeback in '85, winning their division, but their time had passed by then. [A 44-0 home loss to the Bears and Dickerson's 248 yards rushing were proof of this.]
@cjs3872 In 1981 NFC title game,with RT Rayfield Wright retired AND Tom Rafferty switched from Guard to Center(MISTAKE there),on White fumble Ron Springs had to help RT out double-teaming 49er DE Dwayne Board,so Cowboy RG Petersen #65 was left one-on-one with Lawrence Pillers & Petersen got completely shoved out of the way. In 1985, yes the Cowboys were maybe 3 levels below the Giants & Redskins then & went 4-0 against them.White had alot to do that,as did Thurman's Thieves & Too Tall
What I am saying about White is that, in a clutch situation, that his opponents didn't fear him, like they did Staubach, John Unitas, Joe Montana, John Elway, Dan Marino, or a large number of today's QBs, led of course by Tom Brady and the Manning brothers.
I like rugby, but "200 pound men"? That's small in the NFL. I mean, really small. These NFL guys are faster than rugby players too. No contest there.

@RunWhilstYouCan Rugby has shorter and smaller players. and less athletic. Rugby is just a sport for skinny ass Eupeans trying to look tough.
