ABC MNF open including brief intro by Howard Cosell and Don Meredith of the 1978 Pro Bowl. This is a new higher-resolution transfer of the clip that I uploaded March 4, 2008, using Sony Vegas to color correct the video and clean up the audio. The game was played January 23, 1978. By the way this is all I have of the game. Blank Beta tape was about $15 per hour then (1978 dollars!) so I was lucky this snipet survived. I think the quality came out pretty good this time.

    Yes it was. Pro Bowl moved to Hawaii in 1980 and has been there ever since.(except for 2009). Supposedly one of the reasons for moving the game to Hawaii was to get more participation from those selected. After all who would turn down a free trip to Hawaii. Before the move to Hawaii the game moved from city to city.

  • Since Monday Night Football was moved to ESPN, it is not the same. After being on ABC for almost four decades, it has lost it I think though I still watch it when there is a good match up.

  • I remember this theme.

    This is when T.V. was cool.

    This was & still is the coolest theme.

    So many memories were brought back,

    Thank's for posting this.

    The 70's were the best.

  • Was this before the Pro Bowl was in Hawaii??

  • Yep, best MNF intro EVER! Best theme music and the best team in the booth ever (may Dandy Don and Howard RIP). Always loved the spiral graphic of the football and the way it synced perfectly with the music. Great stuff - thanks for posting!

  • best MNF intro,especially when the RAIDERS helmet comes out first,and the TOOZ battling with yary,howard,frank and don best commentators,when al michaels came on the scene he ruined it.i think gifford was better play by play man.

  • @ 0:12 take tape.

  • @missionalgirl Chris Birman called Tampa Stadium "The Big Sombrero".

  • Font used was Broadway.

  • Holy smokes!! I was 6 years old when this promo aired! I even remembered the music! Thanks for uploading!
