LOL This as amazing. started watching NFL games at age 6 in 1972 and so this is even before my time. I have always liked Dick Stockton. What a dud of a game though. This was NOT 2 great defenses. One really good defense and one decent defense and two very conservative gameplans.
It was believed that the Washington Redskins started the marching bands playing in the N.F.L. halftime shows. Too bad you don't much of them on television anymore.
Agreed. Stockton has more class in his little finger than that sneering, simpering punk Buck has in his entire body. Unfortunately broadcasters today generally look a whole lot more like Buck than like understated, classy gentlemen like Stockton and Pat Summerall.
Notice that Dick Stockton's hair in this clip is a flat top. Today it's on fire. This clip is evidence that not only has he been covering the NFL longer than the NBA, but also the fact that he and Pat Summerall go way back. Summerall and Stockton were the #1 and #2 for Fox Sports NFL from 1994-2001.
This is awesome! This is proof that Dick Stockton worked at CBS not only from 1978-94 and for the 1995 NCAA Tournament, but he was also there from 1967-1974. He sounds the same today just like Don Criqui, who was also there at CBS during Stockton's first and part of his second stint, when I heard him call the Dempsey field goal. If you want to hear a voice that sounds totally different from today, listen to Jon Miller of ESPN baseball back in 1972.
Jon Miller started his broadcasting career doing commentary on basketball games for C.S.M. (College Of San Mateo) in the early '70s, some of which were actually shown on their television station KCSM.
I think Dick Stockton did part-tiome work at CBS from 1967 until 1970 while still a sports anchor at KDKA-TV (then a CBS affiliate; now CBS-owned) in Pittsburgh.
He continued to do some work for CBS through 1974 even after he became sports anchor at WBZ-TV Boston, then an NBC affiliate.
I think Stockton may also have been between-periods host of CBS's coverage of the Stanley Cup Finals in 1971 and 1972.
He left CBS to become the TV voice of the Boston Red Sox (1975-78).

This clip goes with the one provided by nycretroguy of the opening of the game with Pat Summerall announcing the sponsors.
It is too bad that playoff halftime shows don't get air time these days except in the Super Bowl.
Awesome find.

@vividwatch47 The NFL should do wht NBC and Notre Dame do at halftime: toss to the web. Want to watch the band/halftime show? Go to NFL.com.
Re: Dick Stockton - when Summerall left in 2001, Stockton should have gotten #1 for NFL on FOX instead of Buck.

I wish football games today showed more of the halftime show. I can hear sportscasters yammer about the game anytime.

No highlights of other games--but here's the Apache Bells--amazingly primitive, even for 1970.
