Had no idea JW actually paid attention to sports, but this was a fascinating insight into the man's mind.

Samuel Stephens I am surprised you say that, especially since Williams has done so much music for the Olympics.

I always felt like this theme sounded like gladiators entering the arena. Lol. It’s epic, as you’d expect. So good. America is fortunate to have such a great composer scoring our sports broadcasts.

Justin Sublett: First, my opinion of John Williams' compositional skills is on the highest pedestal. Second, growing up and watching Joe Montana's use of great intelligence, athletic ability and uncanny instinct was a joy to watch. It was sad I once read in an interview, that he was never without pain. Third, and finally- as someone with a great interest in the Ancient Classical world, I found it amusing to learn the Julius Caesar sponsored Gladiator games, feeling it was a good thing to do politically. But witnesses say, when Julius Caesar attended these games, he used it as an occasion to read and get some writing done.

it's a marvelous piece of music. I wish NBC would go back to using John's original masterpiece "Wide Receiver" for Sunday Night Football again.

I'd agree but the current version gives so much more gravitas and umph and a backbone that wasn't there with John's original theme.

@@sillygoose635 I wish I agreed, in my opinion the version they currently have sounds majorly overproduced, compared to Williams original version. The original version which uses only orchestral instruments is more cinematic and dramatic in my opinion. I get "Imperial March" vibes from it, what can top that?

He did this theme as an encore when my wife, sister, and I saw him at the CSO Symphony Hall in 2014. All I could think about was making a reboot of the classic movie “Dirty Dozen”. What a piece of music!!!! 😃👍🏻. Love John W.!
