  • Classic 70s style intro to Monday Night Football. Always fun to look back at these and see how the intros have changed over the years and decades. Thanks very much for posting.

  • Wow, so it really looked like that? So it wasn't the drugs...

  • im sure glad i wasnt alive in the 1970s lol

  • Jets vs cleveland was First of Monday Night Football first use keith jackson in booth first in there first ever one in 1970....

  • Remember when i was 10, i would watch MNF just for this opening theme and, of course, the halftime hjghlights. Man, i'd give almost anything to go back to this time and era.

  • The huge TV contracts generated huge profits from the advertisers, players salaries escalated, as did profits for the team owners, as well as for the cites they hosted teams in.

    He may be up for a Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award in 2012. Contact the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio and let them know it's time for Howard Cosell to get a Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award in 2012.

  • It still amazes me they were able to pull this off with the technology they had back then. Sporting events like football where the camera had to catch so much do it so quickly limited to the technology of the day, it was incredible

  • @HippieBuddah I got high just from watching it.
