Gettin' my pigskin fix
|
This is one of those NFL Films videos I like to check out during the off-season when the pigskin bug's a-callin', and I need my fix. From the NFL's efforts to gain the same legitimacy that college football enjoyed, to Art Rooney's Steelers finally becoming winners in the 70s, to the heartbreak of the four-time losers known as the Vikings, Bills and Broncos, to club-footed kicker Tom Dempsey hitting the longest field goal in league history, to the often caustic wit of late Bucs coach John McKay, there's quite a bit of ground covered in this show's relatively scant 90-minute-long span.
Other great NFL moments touched upon:
- Some words with Chuck Bednarik, the NFL's last "60-minute man"
- The rise of the AFL as a competitive threat to the NFL
- The Chicago Bears' infamous 73-0 pasting of the Washington Redskins in the 1940 NFL championship,
- The Super Bowl screw-ups of Garo Yepremian and Leon Lett
- The clash between Browns RB Jim Brown and coach Paul Brown
- and many more great moments
Overall, "75 Seasons" is a pretty good retrospective and brief history of the league's first three-quarters of a century. While the show is presented in a non-chronological fashion, I didn't mind the jumping around from the various time periods and eras too much. The only fault I encountered with this show is that 90 minutes is hardly an adequate amount of time to cover all those great moments and personalities in the in-depth manner that they deserve.
