Let's get ready for football !

Hi everyone :

So this blog is turning into a NFL and Vegas diary blog ?

Anyway, it's the weekend of week 1 of the NFL season - which means it is a trip to Hon Kong ! We are doing the annual day trip in a boat around the harbor. Should be great - weather looks nice so far.

It also means unfettered access to YouTube - and time to scour the archives for old NFL openings !

How about this opening from NBC in 1981 between a huge week 16 clash between Miami and Buffalo ?

Even Don Criqui seemed bored of the annoying theme.  And how about a better tag line, Radio Shack ?


The one thing NBC did right was the beginning for their pregnant show.  Remember these montages ?


I don't remember that last game. I was only 8.  This was the year of red right 88 - so more heartbreak was coming.
