NFL Today Intro - November 1988

ALL NEW! Here is the intro (with sponsor billboard) to the NFL Today Thanksgiving edition in 1988 before the Vikings-Lions game. This was the last year CBS used the Robots intro on the NFL Today.

[@digital2500]

Still something special about the words "You are looking LIVE!"

[@rockvilleraven]

Nobody sets the table like Brent Musburger who's now the radio voice of the Las Vegas Raiders.

This was the best pregame ever. Also the best music to begin. CBS should go back to this intro.

[@karlc2869]

@Reed Rothchild This is before Les Moonves ruined The NFL Today and turned it into a Fox NFL Sunday and ESPN NFL Countdown clone when James Brown rejoined CBS in 2006 and added comedy to it to compete against Fox and ESPN. Too bad Moonves' attempt failed, LOL. I mean, pregame shows are pregame shows, not some comedy sketch crap. Anyone agree? In fact, NBC's pregame show is the only serious one right now.

[@sillygoose635]

@@karlc2869 no. get with the times.

[@sillygoose635]

it's not, and they shouldn't.

[@karlc2869]

@@sillygoose635 Nope, pregame shows should be serious.

[@tmghui888]

I wish they would use this music for the open of the NFL Today again except with modern technology graphics.

[@scottbrown1611]

Back when 5 bucks went a long way

[@ericm242910]

Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@WREYtube]

@Nickrj3 You know, I have never noticed that until now... Super Password did air after the Macy's Parade in the years when NBC had the Dallas Thanksgiving game... Great catch! :)

[@domirules28]

this was the best era in cbs' nfl coverage...

[@juliusjohnson7876]

When you heard those words you are looking live you knew it was time for some real football best pregame intro

[@juliusjohnson7876]

yes it does

[@sillygoose635]

@Reed Rothchild I'll take the clowns of the "you are looking live" idiots.

[@karlc2869]

@Reed Rothchild Les Moonves ruined The NFL Today when James Brown returned to CBS in 2006 and turned it into a Fox NFL Sunday and ESPN NFL Countdown clone by adding comedy to it compete against Fox and ESPN. SMH. Thank goodness NBC doesn't do comedy on their pregame show tho.

[@scottlowman.1044]

Lions and GM problems. Sounds familiar!

[@ahoneanatwo]

Looks like the monitors in the background has Star Search on. 😅😂🤣 I’m guessing that Ol’ Brent is a fan of the spokesmodel competition.....

[@micmac99]

You are looking...LIVE

@Jeff051176 The ad spots? Don Robertson. He was with CBS from the 1970s up through the loss of the NFL, when he decided to retire.

[@Nickrj3]

@WREYtube And I think Ryan's Hope was airing on ABC at noon if not something else.

[@mrjinkorea]

Love the cheesy animation! Must've taken about 5minutes to do on a computer

[@alexbronynerfman]

Next from CBS Sports! The National Football League!! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

[@blazervb]

Amen to that!!!!

I like KCBS-TV.

[@Jeff051176]

[@crawford371]

RIP Dick Butkus

[@crawford371]

WREYtube , do you have the game open sponsor plugs and halftime plugs and 1st and 3rd quarter plugs to the thanksgiving game between detroit and minnesota?

[@BigDave50]

Only 4 real teams in the 80's My 49ers Bears Giants Redskins

[@jpowers55]

Yeah they won all but 1 super bowl.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

The Raiders won as many Super Bowls as the Bears and Giants combined. Another idiot 49ers fan.

[@jameslowman4864]

LOL! Detroit franchise winners again! Know thats funny!

[@sherryhannah498]
