By request, A young Dick Stockton introduces the halftime band at the Dallas/Detroit playoff game, December 1970 on CBS. They actually showed the bands at halftime back then.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.

@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.
