Mighty horns and synth tones. Peak Oakland Raider personalities. Harmonies of John Facenda and Bill King ("Holy Toledo!") Tensions between Rozelle and Al Davis. The raw emotions of Dick Vermeil. Of all the classic Super Bowl highlight films, this is my favorite. So many dramatic elements combine for one joyous viewing.

[@bufnyfan1]

Mr. Facenda was a revered newscaster in Philadelphia. In the 1950s and 1960s, Mr. Facenda was the dominant news broadcast on WCAU-TV in the Philadelphia area (beating the combined ratings of the two other network affiliates). Mr. Facenda was a very strong Catholic and the story goes that once while attending mass he noticed his parish priest did not have a watch so he immediately gave his watch to him

[@dallasbrubaker6054]

NFL Films never did find another voice like John Facenda. I wish they would have had open auditions where people could send in a tape of themselves narrating a game. They may have been able to find another one with the Voice of God. Mr. Facenda needs to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

[@bufnyfan1]

@@dallasbrubaker6054 after Mr. Facenda passed away, a radio station program director in Buffalo, NY (WBEN-930 radio) sent in a demo tape of a local announcer who did the drive-home 4-hour shift, Jeff Kaye (without Mr. Kaye's knowledge). NFL films (both Ed and Steve Sabol) listened to the tape and liked it so much that they hired Mr. Kaye on the spot. Jeff Kaye can be heard on many NFL game of the week/yearly team reviews throughout the 80s.

What a playoff run and a dominant Super Bowl XV victory for the Oakland Raiders! Thirty 39 years ago today. Never get tired of watching these highlights...hope someday Cliff Branch gets in the HOF. He was one of the most feared and successful deep threat WRs of the 70's up till the mid 80's. Infact he was the all-time playoff leader in receiving yards at the time of his retirement to go along with 3 Super Bowl Rings. Also think Lester Hayes should get consideration. He had a total of 18 interceptions in the regular season and playoffs combined that year and was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year that season. He was a dominant CB for several years and a 2 time Super Bowl Champ. Come on HOF veterans committee...get these 2 greats in where they belong! Go Las Vegas Raiders!

Also, John Facenda's narration of this and all of the Super Bowls that he narrated were spot on and done to perfection

[@NoJeansBob]

I was only 10 years old during Super Bowl 15, but I clearly remember public sentiment regarding Lester’s abuse of the glue called Stick Um that was not yet disallowed at the time. He put that sh*t everywhere. On his hands, on his jersey, on his helmet, and his shins and hips. He was a great athlete, and an outstanding cornerback, but practically covering himself with that disgusting glue to the point of it being borderline satirical, he left an impression with some people who would put an asterisk next to his accomplishments. I know that he and Mike Haynes played a near perfect game in Super Bowl 18 without the benefit of that glue, but I feel that it diluted his legacy when he was abusing it.

Mighty horns and synth tones. Peak Oakland Raider personalities. Harmonies of John Facenda and Bill King ("Holy Toledo!") Tensions between Pete Rozelle and Al Davis. Of all the classic Super Bowl highlight films, this is my favorite. I'm a biased Northern California fan, but I think anyone can appreciate it. So many dramatic elements combine for one joyous viewing (and listening). The breakout star of this drama: Dick Vermeil. The Eagles head coach wears his emotions on his sleeves. Watch how he just puts himself out there, in the most endearing way. "WHERE'D THE NOSE GUARD COME FROM?!" "GO HAROLD! COME ON, BAY-BEE!" What a view, to see the game from his side. In the name of entertainment, it makes total sense that NFL Films would follow him with a microphone throughout. At this time. only one other Super Bowl highlight film had relied so much on in-game audio. Hank Stram matriculated into our hearts forever. That was 11 years earlier. Nearly all the championship coaches of the era were cut from the dry, stoic mold. Football was no place for the emotionally vulnerable. Can you imagine Tom Landry, Don Shula, Bud Grant, or Chuck Noll agonizing out loud? Vermeil nurtured his way to success in two completely different eras. He's the only coach to lose a Super Bowl with one team (against the original Oakland Raiders) and win a Lombardi Trophy for another (19 years later, for the St. Louis Rams). He bonded with his teams through a unique playbook: of vulnerable emotional displays and positive reinforcements. That he earned a Pro Football Hall of Fame induction this decade, when athletes are expected to prioritize their mental health, is a storybook ending. Legends come in a variety of philosophies, sights, and sounds. In this film, they all come together.

This game was billed as a modern-day Sparta vs Greece battle as the Eagles were worked throughout the year by their coach Dick Vermeil to the point of exhaustion while the Raiders coaching staff kept things much "looser" and saved their best work for games that mattered. The two teams had actually played each other in the regular season (Eagles won 10-7 in Philadelphia) so the Raiders coaching staff had an idea of how they would approach this game. This game also began the decline of Dick Vermeil as Eagles head coach as the Eagles never came close to the Super Bowl game under him and he literally left the Eagles a few years later due to exhaustion/burnout

A few Raiders should be in as well. Cliff Branch, Phil Villipiano, Ray Chester, Dave Dalby, Darryl Lamonica, and Marv Hubbard. These players won a lot if games and were standouts on a Raiders team that had to be dealt with year in and year out. Its funny how some teams have tremendous years and don't win it all, then win it all with another team thats not quite as good, but just has that "something". That's exactly what this Raiders team was. The 1983 Raiders was wirhout a doubt their finest. That team had it all. While I love Plunkett, lets say they had Dan Marino....WOW! Just look at the '83 Raiders roster, then imagine it with Dan Marino. With the Raiders philosophy (which is my philosophy) Marino would have shattered the record books, and the Raiders may have 5 or 6 Lombardi Trophies, maybe in a row. I was a super hardcore Redskins fan back then, and the regular season matchup with the Raiders still is in my top 5 all time regular season games in my lifetime. But when they matched up with the Raiders again in the Super Bowl, we got our doors blown completely off. To this day, its the only time I actually broke down and cried...cried uncontrollably. That team broke my heart. I knew my 'skins could lose and I was prepared for it, but I wasn't prepared for the complete and total ass whipping the Raiders put on us that day. When Jack Squirek intetcepted and scored making it 21-3, I knew it wasn't going to be. The whole 2nd half, I spent with my head in my hand just sobbing. So, I don't think the NFL or the media gives the 83 Raiders their just due as one of the Greatest teams in history, and it should.

[@Stacie45]

Plunkett's problem getting into the HOF is that QB's are over-represented now and there are more on the way. Peyton Manning, Brady, Brees, probably Rothlisberger, maybe Eli Manning, maybe Aaron Rodgers, the bar for quarterbacks to get into the HOF is very high.

Not sure how Plunkett was the MVP when Rod Martin had 3 interceptions (which is STILL a Super Bowl record).

[@elwin38]

+Darwin Lemon Should've been co-MVP's.

[@TheStapleGunKid]

Rod should have won. The people who decide the award are just hopelessly biased in favor of quarterbacks.

[@elwin38]

TheStapleGunKid That's true. I agree. That's why the voters should've made Plunkett and Martin co-MVP's. They did it in SB XII when they named Harvey Martin and Randy White co-MVP's.

[@TheStapleGunKid]

I don't think co-MVPs were warranted here. Martin had the best performance, so he should have gotten the award.

[@elwin38]

TheStapleGunKid I think they both should've gotten the MVP.

I think the Eagles hatred of Dallas, like the Redskins in 1972, was their downfall. They were emotionally spent winning the NFC Title Game over the Cowboys, so great was their emnity . Like Michigan and Ohio State stumbling in 1970's rose bowls, they had nothing to focus their emotion on after the high of peeing on the star.

@Matt Pizzano Exactly, and that was mostly Dick Vermeil's doing, mainly because he never let his team enjoy the experience of being in the Super Bowl, something he learned from 19 years later when the he led the Rams to Super Bowl XXXIV. In fact, as the story goes, when word got to the Raider players of how Vermeil wasn't letting his players enjoy the experience of getting to the Super Bowl, the Raider players felt that the onus was on them to win the game for all the players leaguewide. And when they saw the Eagles in the pre-game warm-ups, they knew they had the game won then, well before the game even began, because of how tight the Eagles were. And sure enough, once the game started, the Eagles made every mistake imaginable and the game was over early in the third quarter.

[@dcbandnerd]

As mentioned, this was because Dick Vermil had his team wound way too tight. He learned his lesson 19 years later when he led the Rams back to the Super Bowl. If memory serves, this was also what did the Bud Grant Viking teams in back in the 1970s.

[@derricklogan2058]

This was the game! I 💕 loved the outcome of this Super Bowl!!

[@yourroyalhighness7662]

When or lose, Ron Jaworski’s arm strength was incredible. He was running towards the sideline when he threw the bomb that ended up being a td that was called back. The ball traveled at least 50 yards. He made a similar throw in the second half that also traveled at least 50 yards. Imagine how far he could throw the ball from a classic throwing position! I’m guessing 85-90 yards.

[@jackjax532]

Didn't matter one bit. Those mighty Raiders dominated.

[@LogoAttitude]

Notably, the Eagles and Raiders represented the original and current, respectively, home cities of the Athletics baseball team. The city that hosted the Athletics in between Philadelphia and Oakland, Kansas City, is home to the Chiefs, a division rival of the Raiders; prior to the Athletics' move to Oakland, Chiefs-Raiders games were not really a big deal, but became such in 1968. It was in Kansas City that the Athletics adopted their current green-and-gold color scheme; the shade of green used originally, Kelly Green, was the same used by the Eagles at that time. Both later adopted a darker shade of green.

[@bufnyfan1]

It's very sad that the Raiders have moved to Las Vegas and its very likely that the Athletics will be moving to Las Vegas too.

[@neneshubby]

This was bittersweet for me as a 15 year old native Oaklander because Al Davis was in court trying to move the Raiders to L.A. Now as a 54 year old and now a FORMER Raider fan they’re doing it to us again.

In fact the scoreline somewhat flattered the Eagles. The Raiders really should have scored another 2 or 3 touchdowns. The Raiders were utterly dominant on both sides of the ball. The Eagles couldn't run and could pass.

The Greatest Ending you can have for A Storybook Season for Jim Plunkett! From being relegated to the bench at the start of the 1980 Season to becoming the MVP of Super Bowl XV during this incredible Super Bowl win by the Raiders. You want to talk about “Cinderella” in this Super Bowl? Plunkett was the one wearing the Glass Slippers as he stole the show on this Super Sunday with the clock striking Midnight on the Eagles when the clock read zeroes in the 4th Quarter.

Crazy to remember that in early October, the AFC spotlight was squarely on the Bills, who come out of the gate 5-0, finally beating the Dolphins for the first time in 20 tries, and thrashing the Raiders 24-7, shutting out Pastorini and the Silver and Black offense (Lester Hayes had a pick-six). Down the stretch, however, Buffalo only finished 6-5, losing to SD on a late Fouts TD pass.
