The NFL Today Postgame (Giants vs. Cardinals) 12/4/1988

From the end of the Giants 44-7 win over the Cardinals. Eagles Vs Redskins ending shown.

[@briangreenberg6021]

The urgency of Brent Musburger reporting the scores on the postgame shows was great.

[@ttangomd]

An excellent piece of sports TV history. The post-game banter, the toss out to the Meadowlands with Pat & John (and Phil), the live look-in with Stockton & Fouts on the call, the extended credits sequence along with the expanded "Pots & Pans" theme music, and the CBS Sports ID at the very end. Each one of them is gold.

[@thedetshow3610]

I had never heard the whole theme before and it's dope.

[@jasonharlor1481]

The golden age of every commercial having a catchy jingle, lol man the 80s rocked

[@bmasters1981]

And also, when CBS had separate title tracks for its NFL studio and game sides (one track [Horizontal Hold] for The NFL Today, another [Pots and Pans] for the games); nowadays, one track (Posthumus Zone) covers everything w/their AFC coverage.

[@jasonharlor1481]

I like the current theme but theyv had it since 03, keep waiting for a new one or atleast a updated version, the pots and pans openings from 86 to 89 were my all time fav!

[@bmasters1981]

@@jasonharlor1481 And I'd like to have an updated Horizontal Hold on The NFL Today (they did have one in 1998 when Jim Nantz took the helm, but I'd like to have it again).

[@jasonharlor1481]

@@bmasters1981 your right! It was horizontal hold when cbs returned with the afc package in 98, I almost forgot! I agree though I would love to see a update of that,, the opening seems so generic now, just a very shortened version of posthhmus zone,, the late great don Robertson's legendary voice and brent musburgers "you are looking live" teases made it must watch tv for sure in those days!

Sad to hear of dick butkus passing he was terrific on cbs

[@toniccoker]

Da bears

[@MrPhilaCuse]

Nostalgic but man, Butkus & Irvv were brutal analysts, Lol. "I heard they had a team meeting Brent". And the game announcers - that FG wasn't a fake.

Make it The NFL Today Postgame (Giants vs. Cardinals) 12/4/1988.

[@jimboslice6367]

Testeverde 31 picks lol

[@busternutt2874]

How sweet is this? The Giants kick ass and then the Eagles get upset!

[@busternutt2874]

And Dallas at 2&12! LMAO. I forgot how much they sucked backed then.

[@thechriswood]

And it was all for not for the Giants 2 weeks later

[@TL2354]

I’m guessing you have no idea how the season ended for the Giants

[@Antblb-is3dl]

How the Eagles won the NFC East That year is baffling.

[@schnuurtchke]

Yes, but at the end the Eagles won the division and the Giants missed the playoffs

[@crawford371]

RIP Dick Butkus

[@DNSKansas]

The Cardinals did not recover from this beatdown for very, very long time. Not until 2008, really. I refuse to acknowledge 1998 because the Cardinals were the shittiest playoff team in NFL history, including the 2010 Seahawks, 2014 Panthers and 2020 Football Team.

[@thomasnee270]

Actually the Cards played the Giants very tough at the Meadowlands in 1990 & 1993. Both games were last second victories for the Giants. The Cards blew a 19 - 10 lead with under four minutes to go in the 90 game and in the 93 game Brad Dalausio kicked a fifty plus yd FG into the wind for a last second victory. I remember watching both games live and yes I was probably the only St. Louis/Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals fan in MD back in the early eighties to early 2000’s.

[@jillconner5062]

@ Thomas Nee. I remember both those games also. Especially the 93 game. Because the controversy of the meadowlands staff opening all the stadium doors. To assist the 54 yard game winner. Which very few kickers could make back then. I remember when most teams wouldn't even attempt a 50 + yard FG. Unless it was a dome team.

[@jasonlinz2007]

Hey wait it's still 1 second left lol

[@thechriswood]

He pulled a Nick Saban pre 2013

[@toddbiesel4288]

I thought Randy Moss before 2004.

[@DNSKansas]

Typical of that asshole Buddy Ryan.

[@davidvenn8267]

"Gutty" call, ha

[@MrPhilaCuse]

Stupid Lohmiller missed a chipshot in Cincinnati the next week.

[@schnuurtchke]

Think it was 2 weeks after that
