  • At Super Bowl XII between the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos, the initial plan prior to the game was to have CBS air a 90-minute pregame show. However, that did not happen. And if you ever thought to yourself why the Super Bowl pregame shows are so long, well, it started by a complete accident on the part of CBS that was never supposed to happen, yet, changed the game forever. This is the story of the unintentionally long Super Bowl pregame show that changed everything

    I remember that long pregame, The thing to me that stands out the most was when John Denver and Walter Cronkite were interviewed together and were asked which team they were rooting for...John Denver said, "Do you really think with the last name I have, I wouldn't be rooting for Denver?" Walter Cronkite replied. "Well, I guess you can call me Walter Dallas today!"

    One Dallas’ wins in 1977: 14-6 win over the Broncos in Week 14
    In that game DEN QB Craig Morton went 0-1 & posted a QB rating of 39.6. Compare that to Super Bowl XII when Morton went 4-15 for 39 yards and threw 4 interceptions for a QB rating of 0.0. So, yes, Morton threw an incomplete pass in the Week 14 game that resulted him having a higher QB rating than he did in Super Bowl XII

    Fun fact (that I've already mentioned in other video comments): the New York Giants traded their first-round pick in 1975 and their second-round pick in 1976 to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for future Denver QB Craig Morton. While the second-round pick Dallas got in 1976 didn't do much for them, the Cowboys used the first-round pick on...Randy White, one of the best Cowboys defensive players EVER...
    Boy, the Giants were likely kicking themselves over that one...

  • @mgb4692
    @mgb4692 2 года назад +11

    This actually didn't resume until later on. CBS started leading in with the NBA, reducing their pregame to two hours. The first time they did was in 1990, to hype "the championship season" (had the Super Bowl, NBA Finals, and World Series) so Suns/Celtics was at noon and then a three and a half hour pregame followed. The network that had both the NBA and the Super Bowl would follow suit (it was NBC three and four years later). But since it hasn't happened since ABC last had the Super Bowl in 2006 it's been consistently a five or six hour thing.
    Now the Oscars have joined, the only difference is a news break, then back to the red carpet

      Another note: this year began 17 straight in which the Celtics hosted on Super Sunday, ending with the 1994 game against the Suns which was Kevin McHale's jersey retirement.
      Had CBS led in with a later Blazers/Celtics start instead of planned R4 Phoenix Open coverage, this probably never happens.

    In a great many ways, the success of that ultra-long Super Bowl pregame show, coupled with the extended analysis of the Blazers/Celtics game directly beforehand, helped show that the world could support sports analysis absent the sport itself. Because of that, a start-up TV network in Bristol, Connecticut would be born one year later. A network, as it happens, dedicated to providing sports, and sports analysis, 24/7, taking advantage of the then-nascent technology known as cable television. ESPN, of course, would be wildly successful, and go on to create a world in which a constant flow of sports would be available to anyone, at any time, catapulting every sports league, especially the NFL, into a level of financial success utterly unthinkable to anyone in the early 1970s.
    Now, imagine a world where the Phoenix Open *doesn't* get rained out on that fateful Sunday morning....

    Apparently the winter of 1977-78 was a wet one in the western US. My dad moved to Southern California the previous year and still talks about how the following winter it often rained hard enough to flood intersections. I know Phoenix is quite a ways inland, which is partly responsible for its more arid climate, but it does occasionally get rain and sometimes even snow (seriously; it happened about a year ago). On top of all that, winter tends to be the wetter season west of the Rockies.
    That said, the previous winter (1976-77) saw record drought conditions in the West. So if that drought had hung on for another year, maybe Super Bowl pregame shows would still be 30 minutes or so today.

      If you had been fortunate enough to have seen the Super Bowl the year before you would have seen something most football fans have never seen and likely never will see, a Super Bowl that kicked off in sunshine and finished under the sun. Super Bowl Sunday when I was a kid started out like many other NFL Sundays, wake up in the morning, eat breakfast then play a little FYFL, Front Yard Football League with some friends and at lunchtime the Super Bowl would kickoff and you'd watch the game and have dinner after the game was over. Super Bowl XI was the last SB played entirely in daylight. It was the end of an era and it came on the heels of something we'll never see happen. Back in 1976 you could have walked up to one of the ticket windows at the Orange Bowl where Super Bowl X was played on Super Bowl Sunday and bought a ticket for face value, $12!

    Having lived in Tucson for a bit I can attest to the frequency of rain. In winter, we didn't get much rain but in the summer from July onto about October we would get squalls like Florida. It would rain for like 10 or 15 minutes and by rain I mean deluge. It would rain so hard and so fast that roadways and intersections in certain spots turned into rapids as the run off would head for the dry river beds and that's because the ground in Arizona was like concrete. There are actual warning signs to not drive through certain intersections as the water would be so fast and hard they it would carry cars away. I remember one instance where a school bus got carried away(no kids were on the bus at the time). So, yeah, raining in January in AZ, at least in the desert, didn't happen very often.

    This might've been the first time golf was a lead-in for the Super Bowl. The PGA regularly opens in January with events in Arizona, California, and Hawaii, which typically air in the late afternoon or early evening Eastern Time. In fact, in several previous years, golf aired *right after* an early-mid afternoon Super Bowl.

  • @tylerlarsen1842
    @tylerlarsen1842 2 года назад +10

    So, let me get this straight:
    - CBS was planning to take advantage of Super Bowl XII's primetime slot to air a live sports marathon, with an NBA game between Portland and Boston as well as the final round of the Phoenix Open golf tournament, as a lead in to what was supposed to be a 90 minute pre-game show for the Big Game.
    - The NBA game went very well, with the Trailblazers overcoming a huge deficit to defeat the Celtics.
    - And then the most unlikely disaster struck when the PHOENIX OPEN was RAINED OUT! A GOLF TOURNAMENT IN ARIZONA WAS RAINED OUT!
    - CBS, realizing that they were completely screwed, and with no other feasible options, was forced to extend the pre-game show by another two hours haphazardly.
    - The decision worked out so well that Super Bowl pre-game shows began to trend towards longer run times to the point of sometimes breaking six hours in length.

    • @cjs83172
      @cjs83172 10 месяцев назад

      And it would also lead to a deal CBS struck with NASCAR a few months later to broadcast the following year's Daytona 500 start-to-finish, the first time an entire 500-mile automobile race was televised start-to-finish. And that was nearly rained out, as well, as it rained at Daytona that morning, but it cleared not long before CBS went on the air, and they were able to run the full race that year with the infamous finish between, first Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough, and then when they crashed on the final lap, Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, and A.J. Foyt, followed by the fight between Yarborough and the Allisons (Bobby and Donnie) in the turn three infield. That race is likely never televised start-to-finish if not for the birth, accidental as it turned out to be, of Super Sunday as we know it the prior year.

    And I believe this, which turned out to be the birth of "Super Sunday", would eventually lead to CBS taking another huge chance the following year. A few months after Super Bowl XII, CBS struck a deal with NASCAR to televise the 1979 Daytona 500 live from start-to-finish, the first time a 500-mile race would be televised live from start-to-finish, something that was also nearly wiped out by rain. Fortunately for CBS and NASCAR, the weather lifted just before they got on the air, and the 1979 Daytona 500 was run, as scheduled, and millions got to see an entire 500-mile race on live TV for the first time.

    Supersized Super Bowl pregame shows would have happened anyway.
    Were it not for the Winter Olympics this year (2022), I think NBC would actually have had ten hours of pregame programming, starting with a special edition of "Today" (8-9 A.M..EST) focusing on the host city and game related features, then a special edition of "Meet The Press" (9-10 A.M. EST) that would be an hour-long interview with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, followed by a "How To Cook Super Bowl Meals" show (or maybe a "Football 101" to teach people more about the game) from 10-11 A.M. EST, then from 11 A M.-12 Noon EST, a history of the Super Bowl, then the usual six hours of pregame programming.
    I think the era of ten hour Super Bowl pregame shows is no more than a couple of years away.

      with the new NFL TV contracts, the Super Bowl will now rotate among all big 4 networks, and NBC will have all theirs in the same calendar years as the Winter Olympics, at least until NBC loses the rights to the Olympics at some point, which would make the NFL change the rotation to benefit the new Olympics rights-holders

    This was a really good telling of now the Super bowl pre game show got to be a week long. Now we know why there's a two week gap between championship week end and the big game. Wait what's today Friday? That means I only have one day to get all my party shopping done before the pre game start's. Wait is the pro bowl part of the pre game too? And if it is then that would make the pre game show for the pro bowl part of the pre game for the super bowl? This is like trying to guess when sports center start's and end's on ESPN.

      I actually like the Pro Bowl where it is as a kickoff to SB week. It'd be even better if you had it at the same venue (as in 2010 and 2015) but I see where that might be a logistical problem.
      The only (one?) time the Pro Bowl was really fun where it was anyway was when it went head-to-head (on ABC) with the NBA All-Star Game (CBS). Then David Stern (became commish three days later) moved the game and that was that.
      But if you keep the Pro Bowl where it is now at least there's still the "part of something" carrot even if technically no one should really want to play in it

      NFL before the Super Bowl always had a two week break between the end of the regular season and the title game. Reason for that was that if there was a tie for the conference championship a playoff game was played to break the tie. Playoff games to break ties ended in 1967 when the NFL went to a four division format.

(as it was taking place in the open-air Raymond James Stadium) So they didn't want to do any matches while it was raining, for obvious reasons, they basically just had some interviews with various people backstage for about half an hour or so....with varying results, by the way, lol

    I am quite surprised that it was not mentioned in passing that Craig Morton could have had a higher quarterback rating if he spiked the ball on every play...
    I remember back then that when CBS had the broadcast, they would have a Saturday night before special programming called "Super Night at the Super Bowl." With famous singers and celebrities showing up in a variety show. Back then the National Anthem and the halftime show would be done by local city singers (and relative unknowns, usually) and marching bands, or the group Up With People. The National Anthem at SB X was sung by a young blind guy from the Up With People group. The SB XII halftime show I remembered featured both Cheerleading teams, plus the game was so boring that there where plenty of gratuitous video shots of cheerleader torsos, which aroused a 15 year old like me. I don't think I had ever seen that before.

    I'm not going to buy that 100% of the reason for long pregame shows was because of this event! The networks have ways to research and would have come upon the ideas for expanded pregame shows regardless of it rained one Sunday in Phoenix. Yes, the good ratings was a pleasant surprise. However, you can't say short 90-minute pregames would have been the future. Good story though I have heard before.
