I love these old NFL broadcasts. They take me back to my youth. I couldn't wait to get out of church so I could get home and watch NFL football. Life was tough on a kid in the late 70s.

[@darwinblinks]

Thank the Lord I had cool parents who didn't make me waste my time in church in the late '70's.

45:15 How, Joe?

[@mediadugout2684]

All Giant fans should have rejoiced as this led to Phil Simms getting early experience.

[@RandyDubin]

1:07-1:20 LOL, the sponsor plugs were completely wrong! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Vgy926]

The 49ers went 2-14 in 1979, Bill Walsh’s first season as coach. Two years later they won the Super Bowl.

[@MrWOLFPACK1974]

Nice to have you back....missed these videos.

[@mediadugout2684]

Thanks! It takes time.

[@AlexAcostaArt]

So basically this would be NFL Network's Red Zone if it was a thing in 1979?

[@smokestack29]

Not quite, it's like the pregame shows now but much simpler.

[@beeemm2578]

37:20 Tony Dungy

[@danorthsidemang3834]

Ed "Too Tall" Jones...was a little "too tall" for the boxing ring.

[@garypora7214]

1:07:20 Joe Montana takes first ever NFL regular season snap from center.

[@anthonybrooks5040]

Year three (and the last) of the absolute BEST gameday openings by The "NFL Today" on CBS. The action-packed opening clips were examples of the greatness of NFL Films led by father/son visionaries, Ed and Steve Sabol.

[@garypora7214]

49:00 The Bill Walsh era begins. Bold move on 4th and one.

[@mikehoffman3131]

Too Tall's manager had some serious sideburns.

[@TexasNewsOwL]

How did his career go in Canada? Im sure he got paid more.

[@Maestrohbill]

Cousineau? He was the Grey Cup MVP as a rookie and came back to the NFL after 3 seasons. Twist of fate: not wanting to play for the Bills, Cousineau was traded to the Browns for draft picks. Buffalo used the first pick to draft......Jim Kelly.

[@sparkythesecretsquirrel4013]

Who also didn't want to play for the Bills and chose to play in the USFL. ​@Maestrohbill

[@thomassheaffer830]

Another great one!!! Are you going to post 1979 week #9?

[@mediadugout2684]

One day I hope to get to it.
