Took a leave from work as well. If I can ever get back to completing this I will..at 63 it isn't as quick a recovery as it used to be. C

Hope you get to feeling better, man. Didn’t know you were sick. Editing rosters bothers me and I don’t have any arthritis type problems. All those weird finger movements make my hands ache pretty bad and i have to take breaks. Couldn’t imagine it with an issue like this. VCTRB has a similiar issue. Here’s hoping you find the right medication so you can enjoy doing this pain free.

Thanks for the encouraging words guys.

Jets are in progress. Weird year fro them. Namath started 5 games then broke hand in Colts game. Al Woodall took over and they only won 1 more game. Snell went down too with an injury...

Howard Cosell gives lots of scouting report stuff throughout the broadcast. They’re playing the Browns. Pretty good quality if I remember right. I think some of this stuff if from the reels they’d send to soldiers in Vietnam. I could be wrong. Looks too good to be from any kind of early prototype vcr, which didn’t exist on the market at that time.

Love that video. Have watched it many times. I frequently watch 70's sports on YouTube. I'd rather watch old nfl nba mlb etc... than the games today. There's no comparison. As great as today's athletes are, the games themselves don't compare.

Cossell was the BEST. You either loved him or hated him. Nothing best his halftime highlights.

I’m the same way, really don’t watch it as much today, but I get my fix with the old games. I was born in 1980, so these 70s games are a joy. Wish there was more stuff from the 60s.

I was born in 67 so that era brings me back to my childhood. If you haven't seen videos of This Week in Pro Football check it out. A weekly wrap up show featuring Pat Summerall and Tom Brooksheier. I believe it dates back to late '60's?

Born in 56...ugh...I know.

Grew up watching TWIPF. Also loved watching the AFC games on NBC with Charlie Jones and Al Derogatis doing the games. It was a different time. A different brand of football. In my mind, a better game.
