@YouMeandFresnoBob Well, yes the answer is in the title, except it's "Duel" by Propaganda...Thanks for the memories though, looking for one of the results sequences with "Classical Gas" in the background.

The best Intro for NFL on Channel 4, shame they don't re-vamp it for their current coverage.

Unintentionally the broadcast of the NFL on a free to air UK channel had a profound concept influnce on the English Premiership in 1992.

F**cking brilliant! Cheerleader productions at its very best. This really was THE way to produce an American Football show. Absolutely love and miss those days. Live games late on sunday nights, Monday (or was it tuesday?) half hour show. Man I miss those days sooo much. I loved Walter Payton's reports, Gary Imlach's reports Mick Luckhurst's flubbed lines :D God I wish I had a timemachine!
