  Monday Night football used to be such an institution. It was a big event when it came on. Gifford, Cosell and Meredith had a great chemistry together. Football will never be this great again.

  Howard's halftime highlights were always gold. In the days before every game was available on tv, it was often the only way to see footage of teams not in your tv market.

  This game is almost 47 years old and I still never get tired of watching these during this era during our youth.  Initially the Oilers made a game out of it until the 4th quarter defensive collapse. Penalties and failing to capitalize on breaks given to the Oilers also doomed them.  Sometimes hard to believe  that some of those guys would later endure two 1-13 seasons in a row.

  'This Week in Pro Football' and Howard Cosell's MNF halftime show were the only highlights we had back then. Howard did a good job; I heard he did it all with no scripts or prompts of any kind.

  Its a blowout (34-0), its 2 mismatched teams, its nearly 50 years old, its the always competitive Raiders against a bad, very bad Oilers team - YET its the best broadcast that I saw all year this year - 2020

  Those Baby blue helmets are one of the most beautiful things I&apos;ve ever seen in professional football
