Fifteen minutes of hilarity and joy

For those of you too young to remember or know, this game actually happened. Looking back on it, one has to wonder why. It was an exhibition played every year and was discontinued in 1977, I think.

Enjoy this little bit of history.

Great find.

 

2 things I can remember from then: the game and the Iron City.

 

good stuff. I definitely remember those games. thanks for sharing.

 

That was cool, I had no idea they played those games. But I was 4 yrs old in '75!! I do have the ICB 1980 and 81 team cans though.
Pretty cool to see some of the names of the all-stars too, like Payton, Bartkowski, Brazil, etc.

 

Great stuff I too remember them fondly,
Could you see that happening now?LOL
Thats when there were real men playing the game.

 

Amazing! Never knew they did this or what was better, Gilliam to the Rock, the all inclusive Arn City add, or the legendary Cosell / Jackson play call?

"Whoa Nellie" I Take that back, Kieth Jackson's play call, forever sweet magic!

 

And this, too:

I always liked this show back in the 70's. NOBODY could beat Swann in the obstacle course.

So, I guess they didn't have HD cameras back then?

 

Loved these when I was a kid!

 

Ha! I was thinking much the same.

Still, all of this beats watching some guys play xbox before the superbowl, or whatever the modern-day equivalent is.

 

Wow, that brings back some memories. I used to love watching this show.

 

That was awesome, 12. I had never seen one of those games before.

 

I wonder what THAT game thread would have been like on THIS message board???

 

The highlight of the off season for me! Man, Swann was an athlete!!!

 

Fire Chuck Noll
Fire the special teams coach
Fire the offensive coordinator
Fire the defensive coordinator
Fire the GM
and finally...
It's time to trade Terry Bradshaw for a bunch of picks and blow the whole thing up and rebuild.

 

Thanx so much for finding and posting this, 12 to 88...

Coselle will always be my 2nd favorite voice, to Myron`s,...

And seeing Walter Payton, before he put on a pro jersey, sent chills down my spine!!!

Never remembered them doing these games, but, shows, where the "Pro Bowl" came from... LOL...

And, I usually laugh at Brown`s fans, telling them, "You couldn`t beat a college team"... Never knew we almost lost to one!!

Great to see Rocky Blier catch a pass... HAHAHAHA!!!

And the commercials just added to the nostalgia!

Thanks Again, 12!

 

Lol. The problem is, I never have to read any gameday thread again now...

 

Why just settle for 15 minutes? Just watch any Bungle or Stains game and have 3+ hours of hilarity.
