Chalkie Gerzowski Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 If you do not have ESPN Classic...... Tonight.....err, tomorrow morning.....from 12:30-2:00 am.......Super Bowls 1-3 on ESPN2. Then......Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 6th......Super Bowls 4-38......Midnight until 6:30pm.....also on ESPN2.
Fezmid Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 I'm recording the Bills ones, might do a DVD. However, the NFL Network also has a bunch of them showing. Not sure if they're going to be the same or not, so I'm recording both. Poeple might want to check the schedule though (NFL Network is 212 on DirecTV). They might be the same, but then again they might not. CW
Rubes Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 I'm recording the Bills ones, might do a DVD. 223358[/snapback] Perhaps then we could have a 'cleansing' ceremony where we all chuck the DVD into Lake Erie?
Fezmid Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 these are full games or highlights??????? 223410[/snapback] Just 30 minute highlights. Or lowlights... CW
col_forbin Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 damn....It would be really sweet if they would step up and show every super bowl. not just the highlights
SDS Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 I'm beginning to hate NFL Films and these productions. Minus commercials - these things are 25 minutes long and the recent ones (the last 10 years) contain about 5 minutes of actual football, broken down into 5 plays - each shown 10 times, all in slow-motion, and from different angles. The other 20 minutes are filled with crap shots of goofy fans, photographers, confetti, etc.... It's almost as if they are embarrassed about showing their actual product.

I really think NFL Films a contributing factor in the NFL blowing away all of the other sports. I mean, I'm only 24 and I have all 38 SB's pretty much memorized. It's hard to put it into words. There''s just something very powerful about the slowmotion footage of a players breath showing in the cold weather, the dirty jersey's, and that guy's voice.

I love the OLD NFL Films, because it was non-stop football with great commentary. Now, these SB films are more about the entire "experience" instead of the game.... Like I give a rat's ass that there were lobsters on the photographers cameras during the Pack/Pats game...

I couldn't reach for my remote fast enough when I heard the words "Jimmy Johnson" and "narrarate" in the same sentence. I mean, you CAN'T be serious. It was either the remote control, or a rope and the nearest ledge.
Ned Flanders Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 The SB XXVII (the first one vs Cowboys) highlight film features Jimmy Johnson spouting off about how he "knew the Cowboys would win the game, but he just didn't know by how much." If that didn't fire up the Bills for the next year's matchup, I don't know what would have...but as we all know, whatever fire that was burning inside the Bills was doused shortly after halftime...
