doncherry Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 2) Phil Villapiano, former bad boy for the Raiders 70s teams, was finishing up his career at LB for Buffalo. Phil Villapiano is great. His segments on the 1976 Raiders America's Game documentary are gold - really must see for any football fan. (for me, him talking about the equipment modifications by the Raiders staff in the 70s really underscores just how ridiculous it is that the NFL is trying make Deflategate such a big deal. On a more important note I hope that you are feeling better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more important note I hope that you are feeling better. He and George Atkinson are two of the biggest Raiders homers in the history of the game in those Americas Game series. They truly believe every player and every team they were on was the best and there is an NFL conspiracy against the Raiders. They are hilarious.Funny thing is, as good as the Raiders were in that era, they only won 1 SB from those 70s teams. They'd be labeled chokers in today's game. If you haven't read it, read "Badasses". It's about the 70s Raiders. The stories grow taller and taller the more you read. Doing great. I was on the edge, but I've got a great counselor that I've been going to for two years and it's been life changing. Thanks for asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the Raiders, I really think that they were really good, but they were unlucky against the Steelers, and actually not just the Steelers. There was a period where they just kept losing close games to the team that would end up winning the SB. Regarding Villapiano, what I really enjoyed was him describing giving OJ Simpson the "can-opener". I still laugh at that segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 What's funny is, when you watch an old game, you'll find yourself saying, "that would be a penalty today," about 10 times. Case in point, the opening kickoff of the Redskins-Broncos Superbowl in 1988. Sanders gets tackled and then thrown down after he is 3 yards out of bounds...and he is thrown down on top of the ref. No flag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO7K5rCV3RQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hail2skins Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Everyone has always wanted to see the 1972 NFCCG broadcast. Well, here's 42 black and white seconds of it, including a long non-TD pass to Charley Taylor and the first TD to Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluefood Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 https://youtu.be/KANo3GLD8Ic?t=31sAs much as I love Facenda's voice and the iconic music, the opening sequence at Memorial Stadium is one of my favorite NFL clips. You're immersed in the sights and sounds of that afternoon - the anxiety and excitement before and during the game until the stadium exploded with joy when the game was secured. Having Chuck Thompson's voice underneath it all enhances it even more. It's like you're in the stands with a transistor radio in your pocket.

hail2skins Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Highlights from important late season Skins-Rams MNF game in 1971. Wild game features a Curt Knight FG where the ball is kicked from the Skins side of midfield (goalposts were in the front of the endzone then) and Dandy Don breaking into "HTTR" and then leads into some sort of Cowboys fight song. These were the days............... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3AL8NSNfnE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meredith's comment about Kilmer throwing two touchdown passes - one for his team and one for Los Angeles - was pretty funny, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baughlin' Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Wow. This one takes me back. Didn't realize this game featured Terry Allen and Sean Salsbury in the Vikings backfield not to mention Tony Dungy at D coordinator.
