YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE, That gave me Butterflies, Wow I was pumped Every Sunday morning breakfast cooking before the Early game, What Great memories . Childhood was untouchable.
Was at that game in frozen St. Louis. Eventual league MVP Mark Moseley accounted for ALL Washington points in a tight 12-7 win over my Cardinals. And yes, DC was on their way too as the eventual Super Bowl winner. 🏈
"We'll have all that and more. On The NFL Today!" She was a big part of my Sunday afternoons as a child. This was the gold standard for pregame shows. She was a pioneer for women in the business and won't soon be forgotten. RIP Phyllis George
I feel exactly the same as you do. I grew up watching The NFL Today and Phyllis was a joy to watch. A beautiful, intelligent and classy lady. I will never forget her. RIP Phyllis and thoughts and prayers to her family.
@@jasonklose3318 Little did we know that we were watching history every Sunday. I hated to learn of how she was treated. Boxes of hate mail from the old boys club sexists hell bent on stopping any woman from getting inside their circle. She had several last laughs though. She helped win them an Emmy. People still try to emulate her interviewing skills. All the women in sports media since have her to thank. She made it possible for women to be even considered for such a job. Hard to believe with all of them around today that 45 years ago there was only 1.
Yes, she was a real professional. I assume you're a Cowboys fan. Of course Phyllis was, and everyone knew it. Her being from Texas. But she didn't show it in such a biased way as so many commentators do today on these shows. I can't stand to watch any of these so-called sports pregame shows anymore. Even Irv Cross in a fairly recent interview expressed his dislike for them. But he still watches the games somewhat.I also remember watching the Cowboys-Rams wildcard game in 1983 when they talked to Phyllis from her home in the pregame. I was 10 years old. She was holding her newborn daughter Pamela, who is now a correspondent for CNN. I will never forget that.
@@jasonklose3318 Yes I am. I liked her more because of it. LOL. Even Brent Musburger tweeted that people in DC, NY and Philly still liked her despite her bias. She wasn't fake. Never tried to pretend or hide it. She was genuine.
That Chargers at 49ers game reminds me of the Bills at 49ers game in 1992 where it was back and forth scoring by both teams and no punter kicked for both teams in that game
Over on NBC on this day, we had the infamous snowplow game take place between the Dolphins and Patriots in New England with notable convicted burglar Mark Henderson clearing the field with his snowplow. The game itself finished with a 3-0 result in favor of the Pats.
Even with all of the tech available today, none of the pregame shows hold a candle to The NFL Today with Brent, Phyllis, Irv and Jimmy the Greek. In this case, less is waaaay more. Talk about the Good Old Days!!
Absolutely. The best pregame show ever. You got more info in 30 minutes from them than you do in 3 hours from the bozos at ESPN today. They didn't scream like children either. Just all professionals. Class act. All of them.
As a fan, I got more relevant football information from just an half hour of a 36-year old episode of the NFL Today than any of the hour long so-called pregame shows airing today.
@@scottdavidson7001 he is talking about watching pregame not the actual game. It's not all that simple if you don't know what he said. Is he supposed to watch the pregame with no sound? That would be kinda stupid I think.
Pregame shows don’t have to give out information anymore, except for last-minute injury updates. You can get that yourself any time you want. Before cable TV and the internet, this was the only way you could find out anything about the teams outside your home town.
This came just three months after CBS debuted Child’s Play and the revival of The $25,000 Pyramid, HBO debuted its popular “HBO in Space” IDs and USA debuted its popular Cartoon Express block.
God I miss this show with these personalities! On a different note, you’d never see an NFL pregame show lead with college basketball highlights today. Proves how times have changed and how huge it was for Ewing to play against Sampson.
@@daboys1215 And he wasn't just the announcer here-- when CBS Sports had any kind of halftime or postgame show, he would read the billboard thereto (outside of the NFL Today halftime and postgame; he wouldn't do billboards for those until one year into the tenure of Gumbel and Bradshaw in the 90s, IINM).
@@daboys1215 You're welcome (and BTW, I was wrong about the postgame show on The NFL Today in the 80s; he did read billboards for Miller Lite beer on that one; just happened to remember).

Now it's all about who can tie the biggest knot in their tie. 😂
Irv Cross has joined Jimmy "The Greek" and Phyllis George up above (he passed on Feb. 28 @ 81).
That only leaves Brent and Jayne Kennedy still with us……
I have watched NFL for ... 40 years...Here in Mexico and
It´s was amazing.... but now
"NFL IS EVERYTHING" AY DIOS MIO
when pre game shows were worth a damn!!!
cbs should still use this awesome intro,,,
agree with you there!!! should of never changed it!!!!
Volkswagen and True Value Hardware Stores are the two sponsors for “The NFL Today” pregame show on CBS!!
Gotta Love Old Busch Stadium and the AstroTurf covering the base mounds. Just like at The Vet, Riverfront, and Three Rivers Stadium's back in 1982.
Memories of when the pregame shows came on It was special Nothing else mattered
Yes and only 30 minutes no need for hours of useless pre game
Yes i remember.....good days

In the commercial at 11:19, it’s Mentalino aka “Gas Man” from Dumb and Dumber. “How’d the hell they know I got gas?!”
Awesome. Grew up on this show.
Kept tge commercials love it
What a gong show by the Jets grounds crew
at least they did not have a snowplow incident like New England vs. the Dolphins that day in Foxboro. The Pats won 3-0 that day.
1982 The Year we won our 1st Superbowl Redskins HTTR
The Jets drafted QB Ken O'Brien in the first round the following draft.
Once Joe Walton replaced Walt Michaels, Todd was done in NY
Redskins won 12-9 vs St Louis. I remember that weekend in the Mid Atlantic, we hardly ever got snow, maybe twice in 3 years. Now it's all the time.
12-7 actually... l was there. 🏈 Mark Moseley scored all 12 Redskin points.

the only thing better about football today is nfl sunday ticket.

God this is awesome. My childhood every Sunday. Somebody posted that Bucs - Jets game. Here it is th-cam.com/video/L6wNG-uNApo/w-d-xo.html
I miss the old school pre game shows on both Networks CBS and NBC.
As a fan, I got more relevant football information from just an half hour of a 36-year old episode of the NFL Today than any of the hour long so-called pregame shows airing today.
Then stop watching all the shit on today. Pretty simple. Watch game with sound turned down. Then u can learn.

You are looking live....powerful and plain. Watching Brent rock!
God was there anyone better than Pat Summerall doing an opening to a game? I think not!!!
nope

what buffones around today in the booth and on the field.
Was Phylis half Afro American ? She a pretty lady
All this time I thought the tom Landry American express commercial was in the mid 80s
Pat Summerall did a great.job with the True Value commercials.
RIP Jimmy, Phyllis and now Irv too. :(
RIP beautiful Phyllis George :(

Does anyone know the name of the voice over announcer who reads the ads at the end of the theme song?
Don Robertson. He passed away last year.
@@daboys1215 And he wasn't just the announcer here-- when CBS Sports had any kind of halftime or postgame show, he would read the billboard thereto (outside of the NFL Today halftime and postgame; he wouldn't do billboards for those until one year into the tenure of Gumbel and Bradshaw in the 90s, IINM).
@@bmasters1981 I didn't remember that. Thanks for pointing it out.
