@G Galilei Two things: First of all he has a job for a reason. He's definitely not clueless about football, he's a smart guy. Second, isn't he almost bald? Wdym hairdo lol
And the commentary on the second one was killin me. “And what’s this? The Steelers might be back in the game after all. Nope it’s the Giants again. The old stolen ball trick.” Haha.
Psyched Panda ya don’t see those anymore due to wanting to respect ALL players, I think they it was added was to make people listening on the radio stay interested while driving
that four penalties on one play was so incredibly funny just everything. how the ref was short of breath because of the huge scuffle while he still tried to explain it all to the crowd, the crowds' reaction, and the commentators hahahah i've seen most of these but never that thank you for that
But how does 3 penalties against 1 offset each other? The personal fouls should offsets but the holding and roughing penalties should have still counted.
If both teams have penalties on a play, they automatically offset each other. Doesn't matter if they have the same number of penalties on the play or not.
Bruh, the same person on the Dolphins fumbled twice on the same play. The same person on the Rams fumbled twice on the same play. And I'm only 1:02 into the video
geene smith The problem with laterals in football is that you can make contact with players who don’t have the ball, which makes the act of the lateral risky
One of the craziest I've seen was at the only NFL game I ever watched in person, Steelers-Chargers, Nov 2008 in Pittsburgh (the crazy ending gets forgotten because of Polamalu's ridiculous diving fingertip-scoop interception of a deflected pass in the first quarter of that game). Chargers are down by 1, have the ball on their own 21, 5 seconds left in the game. Rivers flips a short pass to Tomlinson, who runs about four yards and, right before getting hit, pitches to Chambers. Chambers runs a few yards sideways, and as he's being dragged down kind of backhand laterals it towards two other Chargers about ten yards away. Polamalu darts between them, bats the ball away, picks it up after a couple of bounces and runs it in for an apparent Pittsburgh TD after time has run out. As if that wasn't crazy enough, we hear "The play is under review", then - nothing. Five minutes go by, people are leaving the stadium, still no word. Finally, seemed like almost ten minutes after the play ended, stadium's almost half-empty, the ref finally gets on the mic and says there was an illegal forward pass, ball was dead, game is over. And everyone looks at each other like "say what?" No further explanation, I had to read the sports pages the next day to find out what happened - even though I'd just watched it in person. Bizarre.
I remember watching that on TV. I believe that call affected the spread. In addition to that, the overturn of the final TD meant that this was also the first and only NFL game to end with a final of 11-10.
Nah...there is a Miami Dolphin play that is much better. Check out the Hook and Lateral in the 1981 Divisional Playoff game between Dolphins and Chargers
What I appreciate besides the excellent footage is that it shows that football did exist prior to the 1990s. Too many videos on RU-vid boast the « top 10 » of one thing or another but the content only goes back a few years. What you show here is great and unusual football history since broadcast media of the sport began. Thank you.
13:24 - who the hell makes that bird noise? Is it the ref saying foul or the kicker yelling out of agony? Whatever it is, the sound makes me laugh my ass off.
I love that old timey Patriots one. The fan was in pretty good position to make a play on the ball. Imagine if he had picked it off and gone the distance 😋
10:41 I always thought this play was a figment of my imagination because I could never find it...I also thought the team that punted was Patriots so that may have been why I couldn't find it 😂
Smdh forget about Belichick signing random Walmart cashiers as wide receivers, the Pats literally had a fan come on as a 12th man and play in the secondary for them.
@ Savage Brick Sports great video Mate. Awesome how you put those clips together champion!! Really good to see archived clips of the NFL from decades ago as well. You're very talented Mate! 😃 👍 👍 👍
Cobb's crazy punt return TD should've been in here too. The one where Cobb did a flip on a player's back, Kuhn helped him get up, and then Cobb ran all the way.
It was also the worst announcing of all time. The announcer said that the D-lineman forklifted the O-lineman and threw him backwards into Sanchez. He must either be blind, or he's a big Mark Sanchez fan.
He didn't say forklifted, he said Vince Wilfork, but you're still right about the play being described incorrectly...notice how rarely announcers will correct themselves. Of course, there's only so much spare time in a game >D
Dave Kreig, one of my favorites, holds the career record for fumbles by a QB. Ironically, that tells you how good he was otherwise. Like Russ, he was one of those short QBs that coaches don't want to start, until they notice how many games they win.
THEY CAN'T WIN WITHOUT SOME KIND OF CHEATING ! THEN THERE IS THE FAVORTISM, WHICH IS OFF THE CHART ! PUT TOM BRADY ON A REALLY BAD TEAM AND HE WOULD BE A SUB STANDARD QB ! HE DOESN'T KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD ADVERSITY !
Never seen the play at 10:05 before, in a Patriots game where a fan helps out on a play. It's very old footage, but the Patriots only go back to 1960. So this has to be 1960 or 61 maybe ? Surely early 60's. Anyone have info on it ? I've never seen a play in NFL where a fan takes part on the field in a play.
The context is probably buried with most of the rest of the AFL highlights from that time. Even the Tonight Show in 1962 doesn't have a lot of still-existing footage because studios at the time felt that the shows were worthless for posterity and taped over the them or threw them out. I'm not sure I have seen 10 AFL highlights in my life.
Rams TD on that punt should have been called back by penalty for too many men on the field. You can see their offense coming on the field as the returner starts running the ball back. Look at video of "greatest plays called back by TD" and you will see a similar play with Denver and Pittsburgh. Denver got flagged for too many men on the field.
I was thinking this the whole time. If NO players had run on it wouldn't have mattered, but the Rams players clearly were on the field. When he went into the endzone they would have had 15-17 players on that field. Crazy before the real replay. That would have been a touchback or brought back to the 15 for too many men ...
But the other team had as well, so would they not offset anyway? I mean I get that it wasn’t called and should have been, but would that have made a difference? Like can you score as the result of an offset penalty?
+nicsandknacksandseams Yes it would have mattered. Both teams should have been flagged for illegal participation, and the offsetting penalties would result in the replaying of the down.
