1:21 cracks me up so much. Bartkowski sounds like a disappointed dad. Preseason Wk 4, 08/21/1983 --- ATL 6 @ TB 17. Fun facts I dug up: Richard Williams was a 2nd round pick by WAS in 83 but didnt make cuts. He goes to the Falcons, is solely a return man after what would appear to be an abysmal preseason, he gets one official carry late in the season against the Rams, he fumbled. He goes to the Oilers next season, returns a few kicks and is out the league after two seasons
A more famous fun fact: Archie Manning story, via an old SI article, is about Rick Jennings. Drafted by Oakland, waived and picked up by the Bucs. Goes back to Oakland, wins super bowl, gets hurt. 77 preseason is where the story takes place. Cut by Oakland, but he was also cut by Green Bay. There's one day where all three teams have Saturday preseason games and New Orleans is home: 08/23/1977. Saints vs. Jets, not 100% but seems most likely(Raiders had another home game two weeks later). This video doesnt tell the whole story either, he fair caught a ball on the 3, tried to run one out the endzone, and then muffed the 3rd punt. Reading that article and the center comes in and they talk and laugh about the moments MISSED by Football Follies(there were A LOT!) Rick Jennings is on the city council for Sacramento
I had this on VHS, my brothers and I would watch it a lot, I miss this so much thank you for putting them on here!
These are timeless. I remember watching them on Christmas Eve in the 80s
I'm old af. Football follies came to my head out of nowhere. Googled it and here we are
Same.
Same lol
I haven't seen this in decades but watched it so much as a kid I still have much of it memorized. Thank you for putting this up!
VCR service checks! I wonder how many people actually did that twice a year!
I still have mine serviced twice per year. The guy told me there making a big comeback….. plus, he only charges $500 per tune up.🎉
This is wonderful.
