TWIPF NFL 1974 Week 01

[@dantheman5745]

LOVE Brookshier's and Summerall's low-key, non rah-rah demeanor. And that old NFL Films music, wow! So nostalgic.

[@billsalgat8047]

And the players not celebrating every play!

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

These days they need six guys, all trying to be "funnier" than the others, to do the same job. I never watch. But then Mel Allen used to do it alone. Brookshire and Sumerall were an excellent team in the booth too, as well as in the bar after the game, lol! I loved these guys, sad to see them gone.

[@thepaulbrownshow3206]

Sports and color commentating was overtly professional ... because it had to be. Although some of todays commentators are not bad none of them come close to Brookshire/Summerall. And with today's sports overtly politicized, "the billion dollar product" about glitz, hype and not about teamsports and true sportsmanship is easy to see why a lot of football fans are turned off to the modern game but remain turned on to rewatching old games on KZbin. Having grown up in the 70's one of my fav sports commentating teams were Olson/Criqui although I really liked listening to Ray Scott, Brad Sham and a few others.

[@argerm57]

This was classic. Summerall and Brookshier were the team, and the music put the icing on the cake. This was must-see TV when I was a young sports fan.

No Rulers, you can find the music here on youtube. Dave Volsky has hundreds, you can download to your computer, then to a disc. I play this music at home and in the car. Some of this music is by William Loose, which was never released, and of course Sam Spence is the other. Great music.

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed watching This Week In The NFL back in the 1970s. In the fall of 1974 I was a high school sophomore. Back then long before sports networks and the internet this show helped me keep up with what was going on around the entire NFL. Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier were a class act all the way. And that classic music gave the game a sense of majesty.

[@willmack5909]

I miss how the NFL used to be. I miss these quality announcers. I loved it when the NFL felt more special and more like an event. For years now with the advent of cable TV, internet and other mobile devices, coupled with the advent of Thursday night games and fantasy football, there has been an over-saturation of the product. Less is more as they say. Now the NFL is like having Christmas every single day. It has worn out its welcome for me between the legislating of defense out of the game, adding games to the schedule, adding more playoff teams thus watering down the post-season qualfiers and lessening the importance of the regular season, playing several games outside the U.S.A. as well as other disrespect shown by a great many of the current players, owners, etc. in the league. RIP NFL. I'll always have fond memories of you from the 1970s through the mid 2000s.

[@davidcobb2693]

I remember watching these highlight shows under the " This is the NFL " title, it was the only way to see the teams that never received much coverage on national TV, I grew up in a city that had a lot of pro football televised because of the proximity of a perennial division winner but we rarely got Falcons or Saints games broadcast live unless they were playing against the Giants or Dallas, even though I lived in the Southeast, there were so many New York transplants locally that we seemed to get EVERY Giants game except the one I always wanted to see, the 1973 Oakland 42-0 annihilation of the Giants.

[@nosmile47]

thanks for taking me back to this classic show

[@jstube36]

Thanks for viewing

[@EdsterIII]

Seeing these classic NFL Films 🎥 shows are so awesome! This Week in ⚾️Baseball⚾️was my favorite show as a kid. I also loved football but I played Little League, and I went to over 150+ Brewers games from 1976-1982. I LOVED⚾️BASEBALL!⚾️ Still do, but my love for the NFL has grown a lot! By 1985, my Brewers had sputtered out a bit. The Packers were hit and miss as well, most miss....lol. but I got into it more and more. Looking back now, I do remember some iconic 70's players I loved! Larry Csonka, Mercury Morris, John Brockington, MacArthur Lane, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Namath, Roger Starbauch, his coach the iconic Tom Landry, the Vikings Bud Grant and his QB, as Howie Cosell called him, "Sir Francis" Tarkenton, the Steel Curtain in Pittsburgh, and so many more memories. I do remember loving football, not like now where every game is a possible watch. But seeing these classic highlights brings back so many epic memories! I do remember loving the Monday Night Football broadcasts. Especially Half-Time! I'd beg Mom and Dad PLEEEEASE!! PLEEEASE! LET ME STAY UP UNTIL HALF-TIME! PLEEEASE! I loved the Half-Time Highlights! It was my chance to watch and see teams I rarely ever saw. One thing the 70's did bring me was some of the most PRECIOUS MOMENTS, the most BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES, and the most SPECIAL TIMES I ever had as a boy. My Grandparents took care of me off and on as a younger boy. They weren't young either. Both born in 1897, they married each other in 1915 when they turned 18. So in 1975 they were 79 years old. Yet every summer we'd load up the car, my Grandfather's 1970 Impala, and we'd head north to Green Bay from Milwaukee. We'd leave sometime in the morning. Hit interstate🛣highway🛣 I-43, and off we'd go. We'd find a small hotel in Green Bay near Lambeau Field. This trip was for one main reason and a couple of other reasons. The MAIN REASON? Or the reason for the yearly traditional "vacation"? The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame. It was across the street from Lambeau Field. A Packer player stood outstretched reaching for the 🏈🏉football🏉🏈and it was awesome. It was a unassuming building, not massive or gaudy looking, but it was so much fun INSIDE! The first day was usually a quick walk through. We'd usually get to Green Bay by noon, and after we'd check into the hotel/motel, Grandma would rest and Grandpa and I would take a fast tour of Lambeau or a quick walk through of the Hall of Fame. I'd usually spend the last 15 minutes of the "tour/walk through" in the HOF Store. The 70's had some great memories and some of them were the little plastic NFL Helmets from the quarter machines. The ones you'd have to add the stickers to the sides of the helmets, and in some cases the stripe down the middle. I loved these little replicas, but I could never find the Packers helmets!? They had individual helmets and they also had full divisional sets and full conference sets. Both NFC & AFC were there. They came with a white base with a grass green overlay a 🏈NFL 🏈Football🏈 sticker, and a yellow goal post that connected to the base. The goal posts had notches where the 🪖helmets🪖 could attach for the purpose of keeping tabs on the division standings and also the conference standings as well. I loved these cheap little things! Now the second day was really great!👍👌 On day two we'd take more time and explore more of the Hall of Fame. Then I found it! They had a small projection roo, that showed the most iconic games in Packers history. They'd show classic NFL games 🏈 of the Packers as well as their rivalries and other important games, or historical events and games, like the 🧊Ice🧊Bowl!🧊 As a kid getting to witness these epic games that impacted so much of the seasons, the teams, and the Championships. It put it in a better perspective for me as a kid! We sadly stopped going on these trips by the late 70's. By 1978 they were both 80 years old. They stayed Married until my Grandfather passed away in 1982. 67 years of marriage. I was their only grandchild from their son. They spoiled me. Their caring and loving gave me some wonderful and beautiful memories and adventures. I wish I had just 2-3 minutes to THANK THEM! TELL THEM WHAT THEY MEANT TO ME! These highlights are awesome, but for some they can also bring back some of the most incredible memories I ever had! It was a awesome time to be a kid! The 70's were great!

just watched the 1970 version of this. nfl is like night and day in 4 years, summerall looks like he aged 10 years. pat passed away in 2013 at 82. but the camera work for nfl films has always been the best. ed and steve sabol are to thank for all these amazing video's and historical records. an unfortunate change from 1970 to 1974 was all the new stadiums with astro-turf. lol, the mention of the houston oilers going 2-26 over two years made me remember a monday night game in the astrodome, many fans were wearing bags over their heads, and towards the end of another oiler blowout loss the announcers were running out of things to talk about, a camera focused in on two oiler fans amongst many empty seats, who both had bags on their heads. while the announcers were joking about the hapless oiler fans one of the fans flipped off the camera. while cosell and frank gifford were stunned, don meredith quickly says "they're saying they're number 1". lol, 16:45 "pundints". what's interesting is how many of those stadiums on opening day aren't even close to being filled up.

[@jstube36]

The Turf started in Houston in the Astrodome. That's why it's called astroturf. The Eagles began playing on it in 1969. And yes many others followed in the 70's. Including Chicago of all teams. As far as attendance. The NFL was still growing. That started to change with the expansion of TV coverage. And League marketing began to grow.

Been trying to remember what show it was that I used to watch as a kid that had that classic narration by Summerall (I'm pretty sure it was now after seeing this). I learned more about football and really became interested in the game by seeing this show presenting the summary of the past week's game with Pat's stentorion voice booming in my ears as he talked about the warriors of the gridiron. It was his almost poetic descriptions of plays and players that more than anything made me fall in love with the game.

The best draft class in NFL history took the field in week 1 the 1974 Steelers

Funny how you can tell about what year it was filmed just looking at the guys hairstyles.

Schnellenberger followed up a 4-10 season with a 0-3 start and then was fired. So much for the youthful coach.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had two rookie Hall of Fame Wide Revivers in 1974.

Big thumbs up 👍

[@Rockhound6165]

The '74 Cardinals and 2021 Cardinals have a lot in common. Both won their first 7 games both lost their first games by 3 points and both stumbled down the stretch. The '74 Cards lost 4 games by a combined 28 points with only 1 loss being more than 4 points which was a 14-0 loss to the Saints in week 13. They would get steamrolled by the eventual NFC champion Vikings in the playoffs.

Why did they get rid of the table shaped like a football? If that's not epic I don't know what is

Just saw this show in 1975 Vikings Bill in that game Chuck Forman was going for the triple crown most "Td's, Running Yards & Most Recieving Yards- He needed 4 tds but Oj only needed one for the most TD"S Forman got 4 but Oj got the one he needed and Tarkington broke the all time record for most TD passes passing Johnny U, the Bill fans were throwing snowballs at the vikings all game long Chuck Forman had to leave the game he got hit in the eye - they playd in New York i remember watching that game here in Glen Cove Long Island i was 12 it was a Saturday game i was a viking fan rotting hard for my vikings- Them was the good old days- in them days players did not dance when they made a good play- not when a player makes a tackle even on a kick off they do like a stripper pole dance yuk

Jim Hart along with Roman Gabriel, John Hadl and John Brodie should be in the HOF.

[@BluesImprov]

Agree on all four. Watched Jim Hart as a kid growing up in St. Louis. He wasn't drafted but had a fine career anyway. He had a great arm and threw a really nice deep ball. If he played in today's game he'd have a field day with the way the rules favor the passing game, and that would have given him better career numbers and a better shot at the HOF. When Hart retired he was 3rd all-time in career passing yardage , but the rules now favor the passing game so much his numbers have been surpassed by quite a few guys. And the Cardinals' defense wasn't good enough to really compete in the playoffs, so no Super Bowl for Jim, which is probably why he isn't in the HOF.

[@drbonesshow1]

@@BluesImprov That's the problem: these NFL clowns who vote don't understand how the game has changed. Similar voting buffoons in baseball, for example, won't let in deserving 60s to 90s players (e.g., Two-time MVP Dale Murphy) because they don't appreciate changes in the game. Have you seen any 60+ (70+) HR seasons lately? No steroids, no unfair advantage.

[@sportshistorybuff]

At least in the conversation should be Archie Manning, Steve Grogan and Joe Ferguson.

[@sportshistorybuff]

@R Hugh Sirius Ph.D. Grogan and Ferguson deserve consideration simply for playing at a high level over so many years, longer than many QB's already in the Hall. Manning spent 15 years running for his life yet keeping many games competitive longer than most QB's could. None of these guys won a SB Ring but it sure as hell wasn't their fault.

[@frankdenardo8684]

Don R. Mueller, Ph.D. Minnesota Vikings legend Jim Marshall should be in the hall of fame. his teammates Alan Paige and Carl Eller are in but Jimmy is not a member. all you need to do is write to the pro football Hall of fame and say that Jim Marshall should be in the hall of fame. It has been forty years since he retired and the seniors committee will be the ones.
