Same here. I played like a man possessed in highschool.. wedgebreaker through 2006 right before they changed all the kickoff rules about running starts and wedgebreaking
That hill was about a mile away from where I grew up. It’s not there anymore- well- it kind of is- it’s part of a golf course. If you grew up in Chicago around a certain time, it was Walter before it was Michael. It’s a football city.
I hadn't watched this video in over 30 years and because I watched so often before I was still able to recite much of the dialogue word for word straight away. It's heartbreaking to realise that we have lost so many of the players and coaches in this video .Go Hawks
Greetings from the UK, it was a different NFL then, both better and worse. The strike zone was practically the entire body and concussion protocol was if a player was able to count how many fingers were being held up. I do miss the bone shattering collisions that are now a penalty but player safety must be paramount. Go Hawks
Frank Gifford took the hit like a man and told his opponent good play. Didn't cry like a lil project boy like we have today. Today it's the national project league
I got this VHS from my Grandpa when I was young and still own it. NFL Films is a huge reason why football is my all-time favorite passion, and this is a big reason why. There's nothing like it.
I was glad that beautiful play of Fredd Young's, was placed (perfectly) right before that quote. Darryl "Dokie" Williams gets CRUSHED by Fredd Young, evacuates his bowels as he hits the ground, and is known was "Dookie" Williams from then on .. ;-)
Here's a list of the songs I know for sure (They can all be found on Dave Volsky's page on RUclips): 2:33 Perpetuum (Anthony Hobson) 4:34 Spirit of Nations (Craig Palmer) 5:34 The Gathering (Tim Souster) 5:58 Richard Rock (Jack Trombey) 7:54 Worldwide (Peter Milray) 9:01 Hobson's Choice 1 (Anthony Hobson) 12:06 Olympic Champion Fanfare 1 (Keith Mansfield) 12:23 Warlord (Simon Park) 13:07 Peretuum again 20:00 Polyshots (James Asher) 21:24 Project Titan 1 (Nick Ingman) 22:49 Electromatics (Keith Mansfield) 24:14 World Beater (Andy Clark) 27:48 Ominous Surroundings I (John Scott) 29:53 Proud Surroundings II (John Scott) 31:26 Annual Report (Graham De Wilde) 34:11 Prestige Travel (Louis Clark) 35:44 Sights and Sounds 1C (Nick Ingman) 38:44 American Skyline 1 (Alan Hawkshaw) 43:37 Network (Graham De Wilde) If anyone knows the ones that I left out, let me know
You appear to be an NFL Films music expert. Could you help me out? There is a video on RUclips called BUTKUS MONSTER OF THE MIDWAY. What is the name of the song that starts at 1:12 of that video.
Like I said in the original comment the Dave Volsky channel would be your best bet if it's on youtube at all. I only know the songs that are on his channel.
33:35 this part shaped me into the type of person I would be in football. My favorite player of all time thanks to seeing this video in 88' as a 6yr old... Just got the chills watching it today as a 36yr old... R.i.p. Walter Payton #34
My absolute favorite sports video. So special. Funny story, I was a football coach with a high school in Mexico. I showed this video hoping it would amp them up and get them excited about the sport.... It horrified them hahah.
Got this on VHS when I was about 10 years old. It came with our subscription to Sports Illustrated. Watched it every wee for over a year. Some good memories.
This came in the mail with our subscription to Sports Illustrated one year. I watched it until the VHS wore out. I bet I have seen it 500 times easy. I still have the entire thing memorized.
This film changed my life.. literally probably 50% of the reason I broke all the records at my high school as a running back and linebacker and became a division I football player..lol I cannot describe how many time I watched this and day dreamed about what I had to do to become great
Loved watching this over and over as a kid.. became a Raider in large part cuz of this video. Howie Long was the man.. but the whole video is awesome!! Thanks for uploading!
I had this video back on betamax in the 1980's when I was a kid. I watched this video with Pittsburgh Steelers the championship years, NFL'S greatest runners until they were chewed up. I I hadn't watched it in over 30 years until today, it brought back so many wonderful memories l still got Kenny Easley's jersey. Go Hawks
my brother & I somehow had our hands on this video mid 80s, its how I grew up playing the game, mean son of a bitch. watched this video daily it seems like, haha. played in snow, rain, whatever, loved it. I've always thought of this video.
Does anyone have the other version of this where instead of the Larry Cszonka section they had one about Jim Brown and Jim Taylor? It used to be on youtube many years ago. Also the Howie Long section was split between him and Mark Gastineau.
One of the greatest video's ever! RIP Walter Payton! I love the very last song played during the Lawrence Taylor profile and the ending credits. Anybody know what it's called and how to get the song?
When A Dickerson flies through the air and takes down Thiesmann. For 30 years I have wondered what year/game is that from? Would love to see another angle.
That's why I don't watch football anymore. They are all pussies. I can talk I played semi pro. Football is for men. Not sissies. My hero is Jack Lambert.
105st 82nd airborne, “they’re the guys that’re afraid… but they go anyway.” Frank Gansz just dropping pure fuel. When I was 8, my coach told me kickoff is like kamikaze pilots. I wonder if coaches still teach football Philosiphy with WWII references like this😂
This film, which I watched over and over as a kid, was probably Exhibit A for the families who sued the NFL over CTE. Hard to argue here that they weren't selling the punishment as part of the appeal.
I watched this film so many times as a kid. I'd watch it and go out in the yard and try to train like Walter Payton. This really fueled my obsession with football as a young kid.
Fredd Young be putting the fear in every kickoff/punt returner out there... Fredd Young was the epitome of "Here comes the boom!" The man who wore #50 on the field, was #1 in the 12th man's mind. Go 'Hawks!
as a jealous mid twenties guy i really wish i was born 30 years earlier. my dad said he would watch this all the time and the fact they have a RB featured in a video like this makes him the goat to me, Earl Campbell a close 2nd
![Stromae, Pomme - “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” (from Arcane Season 2) [Official Visualizer]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1F3OGIFnW1k/mqdefault.jpg)
This WAS my childhood. Watched this so many times with dad and brother and made me LOVE football.
Rich M same bro this is how I was groomed up 🤣🤣
Me too, got the tape free with the sports illustrated subscription I think. The Walter Payton part is my favorite
I used to wait til my parents would leave and put this in this vcr and Jack off. Miss these days
Same here. I played like a man possessed in highschool.. wedgebreaker through 2006 right before they changed all the kickoff rules about running starts and wedgebreaking
@@Bruhvernor same
as a kid watching Walter Payton run up that hill with that Roo's headband would give you chills
It still does
Yep! I remember that like it was yesterday.
100% made me want to run through a brick wall with my ass on fire

Same here. Used to watch this video all the time as a kid (this and NFL Rocks). So much of the dialogue came back to me watching it.
Same. Took me way back.
Yo me too 😂 I know this movie word for word I thought I was the only one

I can’t tell you how many times I watched this as a kid. Still love it.
44:42 "Let's go out there like a bunch of crazed dogs and have some fun" Probably my all-time favorite sound bite from NFL Films.
Best NFL Films production ever! Music, editing, interviews. All of it was outstanding.
The only thing it doesn't have Ronnie Lott in it
R.i.p. Steve Sabol
Frank Gifford took the hit like a man and told his opponent good play. Didn't cry like a lil project boy like we have today. Today it's the national project league
Too bad he married ugly annoying Kathy Lee! 🤢 Still can't figure that one out.
I got this VHS from my Grandpa when I was young and still own it. NFL Films is a huge reason why football is my all-time favorite passion, and this is a big reason why. There's nothing like it.
I got the VHS tape as well, for like $3... totally worth it! ;}
watched this all the time as a kid.
@ blue saber 88 same here!
Me too!!!
20:58 "I Iike to go back to the men of 101st and 82nd airborne,they said describe courage, their the guys that are afraid but they go anyway.

Superfan DK Thank U Sir
World beater got that old Nintendo feel
Do you know where I can find "Warlord?" I've been looking for that song for years. Thanks for the lead.
I watched this everyday for at least 15 years...
I watched this a million times growing up. my favorite video. I think I even wore the tape out.
I actually this VHS while growing up and I must have watch it 50 times. It was awesome!!!
+Alexander Tolivaisa same with me man!
So did I .
20:04 ... best NFL Films segment on special teams cover guys ... EVER!
33:35 this part shaped me into the type of person I would be in football. My favorite player of all time thanks to seeing this video in 88' as a 6yr old... Just got the chills watching it today as a 36yr old... R.i.p. Walter Payton #34
My dad had this video in the 80s. Loved the soundtrack for Larry Csonka
I remeber as a kid I picked this up at a 99 cents store and almost every other day I will go back and collect more. I was born a football head
I had this vhs tape and it disappeared decades ago ..thank you for posting it
My absolute favorite sports video. So special. Funny story, I was a football coach with a high school in Mexico. I showed this video hoping it would amp them up and get them excited about the sport.... It horrified them hahah.
When football was football.
mike b when life was life
@Leana Jo that's a myth, domestic abuse has always been a problem in the NFL, only thing that's changed is women run their mouths
Thank you for putting this up. I had this VHS tape as a kid and love watching the highlights. :)
I used to watch this VHS tape back in the day before some of my pop warner football games...
Walter Payton king of the stiff arm. RIP greatest ever. Hands down. Pure competitor.💪
Got this on VHS when I was about 10 years old. It came with our subscription to Sports Illustrated. Watched it every wee for over a year. Some good memories.

King of the stiff arm. Dam this guy was just phenomenal. So aggressive in his running. True legend. What a true athlete.
when I was 13 i watched this video every Saturday night I just couldn't get enough.
Looks very fun 2 do, I can remember growing up & watching some of those players & wanted 2 b just like them
How could you not love Howie Long, class act & such a dominant player in this era.
ya but munoz and jumbo covert john alt all dominated and humbled howie
I had this VHS as a kid. Can’t tell you how many times I watched it. Thank you for posting this.
Loved this as a kid.. still love it now!!
R.I.P. Frank Gifford
...said Concrete Charlie after putting him in a coma
After watching this so much as a kid I named my son Deacon.
This took me straight back to the 90’s. #Nostalgia
The best football documentary ever . Hands Down.
I wore this tape out when I was a kid.
I can see why lol
I loved the Csonka segment most. Great marriage of music & imagery.
Special Teams Coach Frank Ganz,
"Their the ones who are affraid but they go anyway".
When he was discussing kick off and punt coverage.
I received this VHS tape, as a gift, with my first Sports Illustrated subscription back in january of 1987.
Walter Payton. Sweetness. I am so glad I had the opportunity to watch this guy play. So aggressive with the ball. RIP. Best back ever.
Carl i still have the video, I posted it just because it had sweetness Walter Payton up here
Big thumbs up dude. No NFL film without Sweetness.
Just like you I got this when I ordered Sports Illustrated back when it was a real magazine and I watched over and over.
That Payton high five was epic
Watched as a kid ...awesome music/editing
I used to have this video tape back in the days. I watched this tape so many times lent it out to friends to watch. This was a hot video to have.
Walter Payton was my favorite running backs of all time a combination of power and intelligent runner at the most. Rip great sir Walter
35:44 Everybody in the '80s remembers this epic scene of Walter Payton running hills.
Loved watching this over and over as a kid.. became a Raider in large part cuz of this video. Howie Long was the man.. but the whole video is awesome!! Thanks for uploading!
Goddam, still got this VHS! Such a great video!
I watched this a million times when I was a kid.
Brings back memories of my childhood. 💯😎👍
Courage...the guys who are scared and they go anyway.
I had this video back on betamax in the 1980's when I was a kid. I watched this video with Pittsburgh Steelers the championship years, NFL'S greatest runners until they were chewed up. I I hadn't watched it in over 30 years until today, it brought back so many wonderful memories l still got Kenny Easley's jersey. Go Hawks

had this as a kid. was awesome then awesome now.
One of the greatest video's ever! RIP Walter Payton! I love the very last song played during the Lawrence Taylor profile and the ending credits. Anybody know what it's called and how to get the song?
Back when almost everyone I knew had a Sports Illustrated subscription and we all had a copy of this VHS
Love the leading block from John Riggins. He literally plowed over that guy like a pile of snow.
When A Dickerson flies through the air and takes down Thiesmann. For 30 years I have wondered what year/game is that from? Would love to see another angle.
Awsome Vid. Thanks for Posting!!
The best football documentary of all time!
Nearly every hit on this nowadays would be a 15-yard personal foul!
+Tom S It's sad, isn't it? Today's game coddles the offensive players to the point that it's laughable.
Completely agree. I watched a WR go over the middle this weekend and thought "Wow, that guy would have gotten decapitated back in the day".
That's why I don't watch football anymore. They are all pussies. I can talk I played semi pro. Football is for men. Not sissies. My hero is Jack Lambert.
Tom S yea i dont watch a full game of football anymore, too many flags... ill always remember these days tho
LOL, your so right.
21:13 my Dolphin gang bad ass memory has been reduced to a personal foul possible ejection and $15,000 fine smh
I loved seeing this in on VHS a long time ago
I miss the old Tampa Bay uniforms. I also miss the players of this era.
105st 82nd airborne, “they’re the guys that’re afraid… but they go anyway.” Frank Gansz just dropping pure fuel.
When I was 8, my coach told me kickoff is like kamikaze pilots. I wonder if coaches still teach football Philosiphy with WWII references like this😂

"Kate Bush in love with Bill Romanowski?"
They should release the Lawrence Taylor part as a stand-alone documentary called "Cocaine is a Hell of a Drug."
Who else is here after this week's Shutdown Fullcast?
Not sure if this is a Nelson Mandela effect thing but had this vhs as a kid and I swear to god it featured Lyle Alzado instead of Howie Long
This made me love football as a kid. I used to try and do Walter Payton's workout of running up and down hills
I used to get high as shit to this VHS tape, skipping school...oh man those were the days!. No responsibility! lol
Give a like if the Shutdown Fullcast sent you here.
every week loved this, juxtapose this tape with today.. today is a joke
COURAGE! “They are the guys who are AFRAID, but they go anyway!”
I’m watching for the 1000th time but this is exactly what my Dad pulled up the SECOND we taught him how to use RUclips🤣
I'm trying to remember, but I think this vhs tape came with a NFL starter pack, complimentary roids and coke.
Can't believe I finally found this again
What a shame it is that almost all of these hits would be illegal today.
The hit at 10:00 they said was the best hit they’ve ever seen... man little did they know a guy name Ed Reed and Ray Lewis would come along
this is real football these guys would not even be allowed to play today. Bravo
Back when it was a man's game and all the bleeding heart liberals of the world weren't crying about it 24/7 on the news
Had this VHS as a kid… maybe I’m crazy, is there another version with something else in place of the Howie Long section? I don’t remember that one
Fredd Young be putting the fear in every kickoff/punt returner out there... Fredd Young was the epitome of "Here comes the boom!"
The man who wore #50 on the field, was #1 in the 12th man's mind.
Go 'Hawks!
as a jealous mid twenties guy i really wish i was born 30 years earlier. my dad said he would watch this all the time and the fact they have a RB featured in a video like this makes him the goat to me, Earl Campbell a close 2nd
Just amazing to think that one day it was legal to grab the face mask like that!
What's the song playing during the special teams segment?
The INTRO is the BEST
Eat ya'lls hearts out today's NFL. The good ole day's of football. Football today is flag football compared to this
15:41 ... Howie Long lines up at nose tackle, sheds a double team, and decapitates the QB.
24:08 "payday area" if he gone catch it make him pay for it... exactly,, if the WR catch it the DB will pay $15,000 and 15 yrds
One of the best hits in NFL history!!!
22:20 a battle in 87,, illegal hands to the face in 2016
mixumup1 fuck right lol, 90 percent of the oline battles in thus video would be a no go today.
2:30 for start
Conrad Dobler was known for using the leg whip.
The 1-800-541-1000 for Sports Illustrated still works! That’s crazy!
