Classic Football

Way back in the day there was no internet so the only way to see highlights from the previous week was “This week in Pro Football” with the lead CBS team of Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier. Watched this with Dad every Saturday.

Here’s a gem featuring Mike Phipps & Jerry Sherk, Johnny Unitas with the Bolts, OJ Simpson, Terry Bradshaw, Willie Lanier, a grossly fat guy pregame, red flags in the end zone quarters, Csonka and Kiick, Kenny Anderson and much more.

Check out the hosts’ red blazers and sideburns.

Also see the games played on dirt baseball infields.

Produced by NFL Films.

I wasn't around in 1973--but if I was, I'd love to watch this dude narrate things with trumpets in the background...
