@ColemanESPN I’m 9 years old again and getting ready to go to the LA Coliseum with my dad and watch the Rams play.

When I was a kid I was pretty certain that Irv Cross was about the smartest guy in the game.

8-year old me was distraught for a hot minute when they said that Phyllis George was no longer on the show. And then I saw her replacement. OK then! There was a special on the NFL Today a while back & Bent said that CBS was worried that southern affiliates wouldn't air it w/ her

I love everything about this clip. Irv's humility is a lovely thing.

@ColemanESPN “The Mel Blount Rule” I’m assuming. That bad man would rip a WRs head off all the way down the field , through the tunnel, and into the parking lot.

Jayne Kennedy is still beautiful.

Haha. That is glorious! Irv Cross was in good shape but they asked the man to cover Harold Carmichael!!!

Great feature. They could already see the first changes but I bet they had no idea just how big an impact this would make

Peak television
