So this is usually the weekend that I head to Hong Kong or Macau and are able to get pumped up for the coming NFL season by watching old pre-game shows or game intros on You Tube. Let's continue this tradition!
Here's a good one from 1992. I think this is the best theme music for the NFL over the last 40 years- yes, even better than MNF music. Short and dramatic - especially for this key game for the Battle of the Bays!
What an announcing crew here - can you imagine two more opposites in the booth? One is a Hall of Famer (but not for football), and one is, well.......not. Who could have imagined in 1992 that these two would be household names in the sports world.

I still love the old NBC montages....the "Great Games, Great moments" and the music....another one from the files:

And look who is on NFL Live '88 for the pre game show! What a B-list of talent! Len Berman, Frank Deford, Paul Maguire and Gayle Sirens.
Finally, it must have been embarassing for NBC to put on the NFL in the late 70s/early 80s, when they were competing against CBS and NFL today. Their graphics, music, intro to the games were horrible. Here's one example from 1979. Love to watch this just for the ads! Schlitz! Chrysler! 7 Up!
