Even Madden in his prime couldn't match Don!

[MrNocsar]

i remember him saying "Good Morning, good morning to you We're all in our places With sunshiny faces, good morning to you" great person

[irvinetustin]

Thank you for posting this video. I remember Don Meredith singing "The Party's Over" on Monday Night Football when I was a kid. I always thought it was Don's song. I didn't know it was originally sung by Willie Nelson until now :-)

[vividwatch47]

He's waiting for Giff and Keith Jackson to join him way up there, for that M.N.F. commentating team in the sky.

[ZDiddy9683]

I was related to him!!!

[jseph1234567890]

Don RiGHTFULLY retired in 68'....They treated him like crap in Dallas and never appreciated what he did and the wonderful heart and personality he was....It was sickening' to hear the Dallas fan's bow him and to see the expression on his face tells it all.

[TheJazzlady40]

there was nobody like dandy don meredith

[chipperwayne5]

When Don Meredith And Howard Cossell left Monday Night Football the

Party really was over, it was never the same again.

[VidBrats]

@chipperwayne5 Ain't that the truth. Never again.

[corkbender]

It seems like the personalities in the early 70's were a lot more colorful than our modern Joe "Put Me to Sleep" Buck type announcers that are way too common today.

[VidBrats]

@corkbender Joe Buck couldn't hold a candle to Don, Howard and Giff.

[itsmylife1776]

@VidBrats But his dad Jack was pretty good! I have to admit I liked hearing Jack Buck and Hank Stram on the radio when I could not watch the game on tv.

[Jiltedin2007]

@VidBrats No, but Father Jack could give Our Classic Monday Night Crew of Howard Cossell, Frank Gifford and Don Meredith a run for their money on Radio!

[VidBrats]

@Jiltedin2007 Amen to that!

[TheWolfFAC]

The greatest football announcing team that ever was: Gifford, Cosell and Meredith. RIP Howard and Don.

[brabon1]

life as a pro sucked before free agency....retire at 31????

but he was great on mnf

[mt901k]

im watching the last 30 seconds as a depressed Giants fan

[theblacksheep1000]

@mt901k HAHA same here!

[richardutm]

Don was great.

[raiddarick]

monday night football should still be on ABC

[KonamiEnix]

VidBrats, Mr. Rodger Swan's last footage has been posted up on YouTube by his parents. Please check it out and read the description box.

[Jiltedin2007]

The NFL has now lost it's personality! DON MEREDITH, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!

[lordvoldemort578]

@Jiltedin2007 What? we still got ochocoon?

[Jiltedin2007]

@lordvoldemort578 Chad Johnson(Ochocinco) has very much cleaned up his act in New England. Bill Belichick did something that Marvin Lewis could not do, and that was to discipline him. Now "Ochocinco" doesn't open his big mouth anytime the Press comer to Patriots Training Camp, he keeps his nose to the Grindstone and works on playing with Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Now, if there's a way we could keep Carson Palmer happy!

[lordvoldemort578]

@Jiltedin2007 Haha Yeah, Ochocinco has very much grown up, and his acting like a coon and giving black people a bad name is over.

[daveyray10]

That would be cool if the cowboys wore throwbacks tomorrow against the eagles , and if Sam Hurd #17 dedicated a touchdown to Don Meredith #17. R.I.P

[Auriaprottu]

Or maybe my sarcasm meter is broken. Or you need to use a smiley of some sort.

[VidBrats]

@Auriaprottu True that LOL... Incidentally, the L.A. Times did a profile on Meredith the other day that suggested he was one wild and crazy guy off camera and that he wasn't above indulging in a few vices. Just sayin... ^_-

[Auriaprottu]

@TheJaredwise... Fool, I don't care if he did or didn't. He was the greatest sidekick MNF ever had.

And it still loks like a joint to me.

[southernboygonebad]

Don Meredith... Phi Delta Theta Fraternity forever bro!

[Auriaprottu]

@2:53... a cigarette or a doob? Looks like the latter to me- and they'd have no reason to put it in the video if it'd just been tobacco.

[TheJaredwise]

@Auriaprottu its a cigarette you idiot!! Don never did drugs!!

R.I.P. DON MEREDITH!

I WILL ALWAYS PLAY THIS AT 2:39 MY FAVORITE SONG RIGHT NOW. I BEEN A COWBOYS FAN SINCE 1992. I NEVER SEEN HIM PLAY BUT I DO CATCH UP ON MY COWBOYS HISTORY.

[carchavtube]

I read the book "Monday Night Mayhem," and buy were those days funny.

Who recalls the time in Denver when he said, "Welcome to the Mile High City, and I really am...!"

Don, Godspeed. We'll miss you terribly.

[VidBrats]

@carchavtube Hahaha... I remember that too. Don was a kick in the pants. He played off Howard Cosell so well and kept things light.

[Kelski1998]

@carchavtube

Those were the days you could get away with that and it was hilarious!

[TheRealJamDawg]

@carchavtube There was a Cleveland Browns Reciever named Fair Hooker. During a MNF Browns Game, Gifford brought up his name on a play and Don said "There's no such thing as a Fair Hooker."

Classic Dandy Don.

[nbafreak41]

Turn out the lights!!!! The party's over...They say that all good things must end! RIP Dandy Don!

[japanbrats]

Don always lightened things up next to the verbose Howard Cosell and the always serious Frank Gifford. Monday Night Football was never the same since it switched from ABC to ESPN.

[Summerslam96]

@japanbrats I know right? It's clearly not the A list show when they got NBC ripping them a new one. When NBC's broadcast is over, I kind of feel sad cuz I gotta wait til next week lol. When ESPN's is over, I say good riddance. I like Gruden but I'm a Raiders fan and he'd be better suited as Raiders head coach in all honesty. I mean he has silver and black running through his veins. Everyone else sucks and are boring to the core.
