    I really don't want to be a horse's ass and threadjack the Dempsey thread, but, damn, I forgot how much I love Kilmer. Those last 30 seconds... Jesus. He looks like Superman hit him with a tree, and, IIRC, they won that game against the Bears.

    Kilmer is 80 and alive.

    RIP Sabols, Facenda, Thank you so very much.

    I like going back and watching highlight films from even the 50s and 60s, before I was born or old enough to pay attention.
    Whether it was Pete Rozelle or the Sabols or whoever, whosever idea it was to shoot footage in slo-mo and marry it to martial marching band and classical music was a genius for the ages.

    I don't think in the Fifties people had any mythological reverence for pro football. But by the mid Sixties, it was titanic figures striding across the frozen tundra, guided by godlike deities like Lombardi.

    Marion Motley scoring a touchdown after his helmet was knocked off was always an NFL Films staple. What's wild about the play is that Graham's pass wasn't much, and, if you look really closely around the 4:25-4:26 mark, Motley steps out of bounds.
