You are looking live at Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium where today we will have a clash of NFL titans. The Steelers take on the Dallas Cowboys! Right here on CBS!

[@josephnicolino8529]

Thanks Brent. The Pittsburgh Steelers hard hitting defense will attempt to contain that multi formation Dallas offense 🙂

[@jdg62269]

Not sure if Brent ever said NFL titans. I don't recall it if he did.

[@2timothe]

I remember watching the NFL today with Brent, Phyllis, Irv and Jimmy!

"The NFL Today is sponsored by Tuborg Gold. The golden beer of Danish kings. Tuborg breweries ltd. Baltimore, Maryland. Now, from CBS sports control in New York, here's Brent Musburger."

[@armorybrunotjr.3204]

That's the description legendary announcer Don Robertson would use to welcome you to "The NFL Today". The popular Robertson was one of The Eye Network's successful staff announcers.

I don't see why CBS doesn't just use this instead of the noise it has now.

[@caddelworth]

A simple answer: using _Horizontal Hold_ - or any 'library' music track - requires a fee to the publishers every time it's played (including re-runs). I'd wager that the current "noise" - as you put it - was _commissioned_ by CBS, presumably with all rights bought out, thus saving them from having to pay any dubbing or broadcast fees.

[@KNS1996DFS]

@@caddelworth It's worth it to ESPN to pay the license for "Heavy Action," I suppose.

[@caddelworth]

@@KNS1996DFS Indeed! But it's likely that a huge player like ESPN will cut a favourable deal with KPM! 😁

When Dave uploaded this track, I commented that it was used in a chainsaw commercial, but couldn't remember the brand. It turned out to be Homelite. Watch commercial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqCUk6qtltR6iJY

BRING THIS BACK

[@tony84.]

CBS needs to bring this back for 2022. They have the CBS version which is excellent. The last time 3 times they used it on the NFL today were 1993, 1998, and 2002. All those versions were excellent.

[@crazypackersfan]

Where has this track been all my life? I never knew the NFL Today song was more than just a jingle!

[@caddelworth]

You'll find that quite a number of the 'classic' tunes used by the NFL (or NFL broadcasters) are from UK composers: Jack Trombey, John Shakespeare, etc., and will have been edited down from the full two-to-four-minute versions on the 'library' music discs (often from KPM or DeWolfe) from which they come. In some cases, the original discs contain shorter versions of ten or fifteen or thirty seconds, to be used (as you said) as jingles.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

It has been used as the theme for CBS's NFL pregame show "The NFL Today" with different variations of it being used in the mid-1980s (with the exception of when they didn't have the NFL from 1994-97) through the late 1990s, though in 1990-92 respectively they've had the NFL on CBS theme also served as the theme for The NFL Today and again for the 2000 and 2001 seasons.

Upbeat music for sure

I’m so glad this version is back up. I couldn’t find it for a while. I’d love to have a recording of it.

This is the rare football music I absolutely hate! It reminds me of Phyllis George and stupid irrelevant up close and personal bullshit instead of Xs and Os.

That was the best part. We never had access like that before.
