infrared41 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I really hope the Giants win this time but I'm not holding out hope They just need to stay out of the prevent defense and I think they'll be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hey, if they can give it that phony color treatment, anything's possible. Why stop there? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkaKrock5cent Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 This is great! Having the current players talking to the guys who played was a perfect move. THe guy who's talking to Strayhan is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 The interviews are great.The colorization is nothing short of embarrassing. I'd love to see the game in lifelike color, but this isn't it. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Yeah, the interviews are great. Watching players from today talk about the game with the guys who played in the game is very cool.The color looks very fake, but it's not something that bothers me all that much. It's cool to see this game, which I've clips from before in black and white, in color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Excellent program. It's a shame that ESPN doesn't do more of these type documentaries. Oh well, Sportscenter on now time to watch a sports writer scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkaKrock5cent Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Too bad Johnny U isn't around. Could you imagine him and Peyton Manning in the same room talking about this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I loved how Unitas basically walked off the field after they scored the final touchdown. He handed the ball off, watched his back get into the endzone, then put his head down and walked off.Unitas: "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta."

pagan696 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well there was no ESPN Original Entertainment in those days.Not to mention no NFL NetworkAhem.NFL Network.Thanks.No no no, thank you for not paying attention. i think he meant NFL Filmswhn's the replay? i forgot to tell the DVR.

Cujo Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 After watching it last night, I've got no complaints really, other than I thought the program could have contained less player commentary and more of the actual game itself. Aside from that one thing, well done by ESPN.And fkaKrock5cent, the player alongside Michael Strahan was the Colts' Art Donovan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN Classic doesn't even show them. When I was a kid you could pretty much find an NFL films show on ESPN or ESPN 2 at least once a day.And he wrote this...Ahem.NFL Network.Thanks.Someone had said the same thing about three posts prior.

gueman Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 After watching it last night, I've got no complaints really, other than I thought the program could have contained less player commentary and more of the actual game itself. Aside from that one thing, well done by ESPN.And fkaKrock5cent, the player alongside Michael Strahan was the Colts' Art Donovan.I think they used all they had. The original TV broadcast is long gone and this was made from the avalable clips (that was mentioned in the beginning by Chris Berman). And how does anyone that posts on here not know who Art Donovan is? He used to be a regular on Letterman, and occasionally Leno. And his book FATSO is the funniest book ever about sports. His health has been in decline so he has not been on TV as much.I thought is was excellent and will be buying the DVD. One thing that I learned over the last few days was that they used MANURE on the field to dry it out, I was surprised that didn't make it onto the program. Also if you look at the player interviews on ESPN the clips were longer. I was also impressed at the level of respect the current players had for the older ones. But maybe it was who they picked. And yea it just missed having Johnny U with the Manning brothers. I hope the next thing ESPN does is a program on Chuck Bednarik. Now that is one tough SOB.

Now that is one tough SOB.Anyone around here who doesn't know Art Donovan should be suspended for a week so they can read his book and search youtube for his TV appearances. Once that is complete they can apply for reinstatement to CCSLC. Didn't know Art Donovan? I mean really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
