    That's very cool. I amazed at how spoiled I've become with HD tv.

    Eddie, I don't know how to say this but I will try. I can't believe you would go and dig up something so grainy, colorless, hard to see and so utterly AMAZING as this video. It brings back some of the fondest memories I have. Thank you so much for posting it!

    That was excellent. Brings back lots of memories from TRS. That place absolutely rocked! The entire stadium would shake at times.

    Well, it'd be cool if I pulled out an old box full of Super 8 film and uncovered it but, quite simply, Rocky Bleier posted it on his Facebook page : )

    So cool! It's funny how a lot of the jerseys that were on the field that day are now in the stands for pretty much every game we play now. I loved watching Bradshaw warming up with the guys. That kind of stuff is extremely cool to me. I wish I had been old enough to watch that team live. I suppose I'd take the arthritis and old people spots that would come with being old enough to have really experienced that team. LOL!

    "Old people spots"? Don't worry, you'll experience them soon enough!

    Looked flat to me, barely beating the Chiefs, don't know why Noll can't get them motivated.


    Awesome stuff, thanks for posting this, Eddie :thumbs up:

    It's because Noll could only win with Bill Austin's players.

    Funny stuff (made me laugh out loud) but we all know Noll famously cleaned house: "It's not for lack of effort, you guys just aren't good. Most of you won't be here next year."

    Awesome contribution, Eddie,
    (Even if it felt cheapened when you admitted it came from Blier`s FB Page..., I commend you for your honesty.)...
    There are still a few of us around here, that don`t gt on FB, for one reason or another.

    Thanks much for sharing.. that was incredible for a lot of reasons...

    #1, Rocky`s last game... for you younginz, that don`t know him, look up his history...

    He left the team to fight for his country, and came back from a severe injury over there, to play for us again.. Hell of a story...

    #2... We are so used to seeing everything recorded, real time, and high quality, on everybody`s I-phones, or smartphones..

    This is a piece of history, that was recorded, before all that...

    VERY COOL!!!

    #3, 3 Rivers Stadium, Rocking in all it`s glory, with the die hard fans, there to cheer on their team..

    #4, One of the last times you can see all of those teammates together on the field...

    #5, Appreciate the sound of the wind whipping around, and the cheers of the fans, that the newer recording devices(phones), would screen out, to give you a "better" recording...

    That was incredible, Thanks, Eddie!!!!:thumbs_up::herewego!:
