I do find it odd that some of the site's core members don't frequently post on this area of the 'Sports Section.'

NBC's three-man team of Dick Enberg/Phil Simms/Paul McGuire

Nowadays, the AFC and NFC title games, in terms of which game is early and which one starts later, alternate every year. From 1988 to 1997, the AFC title game on NBC always began early, followed by the NFC title game on CBS (later FOX). Why was it always this way?

Can someone move this to 'The Sports Section?' I think I put this in the wrong section!

As baseball fans, one of the biggest things we have wondered about are the starting times of playoff games and how they changed ever since night games in the playoffs increased eventually in the late 70s. (I think it was a good thing. Too many young people probably had to play hooky to...

August 2005 to January 2006: The greatest single-season of college football ever The return of NHL from the lockout ABC's final year of Monday Night Football An entertaining NFL season (Bengals had that great year, Colts almost run the table, the Seahawks were unstoppable, the...

Sometimes, looking at NFL playoff schedules and the times the games occur make me wonder sometimes. For instance: 1. The AFC Championship Game on NBC, from January 1989 to January 1996, was always the early game. How come the AFC title games were never in the late timeslot? After the...

I was doing some research on when CBS lost the rights to broadcast NFC games after the 1993 season, with the last telecast a 49ers/Cowboys NFC Championship Game. (It was almost fitting for me- it was the end of an era, for a few months later, my family moved from Buffalo to Wisconsin...

REY, are you the guy with the WREYNetwork Youtube Channel and this Youtube clip? 5yeX42fKIpU

For a long time, NBC was synonymous with college football bowl games on New Year's. Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Gator Bowl, and the Cotton Bowl (though only for three years). Some of the great games in history: 1984 Orange Bowl, 1987 Fiesta Bowl. I'm sure you remember when NBC...

Back then, the Fiesta Bowl used to be in the afternoon, in the same time slot as the Outback Bowl is today. Here are some old clips to prove my point- these will satisfy this site's Buckeye and Wolverine fans: YouTube - Keith Byars 99yd kickoff return-TD - 1984 Fiesta Bowl YouTube - Game...

I remember that Fiesta quite well. A four-loss Alabama team got into the game ahead of one-loss Houston (to conference champ Texas). I know the Cougars were on probation, but they would have perhaps TRIED to beat Louisville, whereas Bama just went through the motions.

How exactly did the Network work? If you were in White Sox territory, you'd see a Cubs game? Or something like that?

Some of my favorite DBSForums threads: the daily NBA game threads (One night, the Suns played the Celtics and the Knicks played the Heat. I asked Bill what the over/under would be on 1,000 empty seats) daily NHL game threads (Sandra once called my Sabres 'The Screaming Jeannarettes') The...

Can you find some 'Sports Arena' threads? I'd like to see some of the things I used to say on that site. (Sandra, Bill, Sam and myseld were some of the migrators; There was no Jimbo, Iceberg, or HD MM on that site)

I know about that! I recorded a show on the history of the NFL on TV (it's called Replay), and it explained just that.

I can't help but ask, if you remember the first SB, what do you remember about the Ice Bowl?

Your Cardinals won the last time they were in a Fall Classic.

Longest interception return for a TD? Most turnovers by a team in a Super Bowl?

It was Don Meredith's last game as an NBC announcer?

Speaking of the Rams/Patriots SB, I find it fitting that game was Summerall and Madden's final game as a duo. (They began and ended their magnificent run in Super Bowls)

Favorite SB play: Leon Lett's screwup, Don Beebe forced touchback (I lived in Buffalo when that actually happened)

All I have to say: Thank GOD it lasted just a year! A lot of us rip FOX for how they cover baseball and their faults, but at least they avoided something like 'regionalizing the playoffs.' Wait a second- didn't the NHL regionalize playoff coverage in rounds 1 and 2 when they were on FOX...

Ah, yes. The man with the magnificent spats and long TD runs. BTW, I'll take a wild guess and ask- are you old enough to remember the Colts/Giants 'Greatest Game?'
