Charles Romes Posted Sunday at 12:25 PM Posted Sunday at 12:25 PM This Week in Pro Football by NFL films which ran from about 1967 to 1975 and which recently dropped for free on YouTube was quite a production, complete with Sam Spence orchestra backing. The entire series seems to have been preserved. 1 1 Quote

And the difference about his shiftiness is he did it at full speed while moving down the field, like changing directions didn't slow him down at all. I'm always amazed when watching his highlights. 1 Quote

Beast Posted Sunday at 05:38 PM Posted Sunday at 05:38 PM (edited) Simpson had the best 6 year stretch of any Buffalo Bill….ever. It should have been longer if he didn’t have a dunce for a head coach in his early years. As for the game, this was sold out in time and the game was shown locally. The only play I remember from that game was the Jets TD that ruined the shutout at the end. I was very young. Edited Sunday at 05:40 PM by Beast 1 Quote

He’s gone now, but I’d like to be at first MNF in the new Highmark with my younger brother. A passing of the baton in a sense.? 1 1 Quote

Wonder if he could have had another elite year or three if they did not have to run on that concrete like all the artificial surfaces were in the 70s. My knees hurt just watching the tape. 1 Quote

1st&ten Posted Monday at 09:24 PM Posted Monday at 09:24 PM Imagine what OJ could do in today's NFL. I meant him once at the stadium, big man with world class speed. Quote

The only game I missed that season was that Monday nighter because I had the flu. But I was glued to the radio and was ecstatic when the Juice went over the 1,000 yard mark in only seven games. That’s when the talk of 2,000 really started to gain steam. Glad you had that experience with your late brother and happy that you have a younger brother to experience a Momday nigher at the new stadium. I hope you get tickets. Quote

They gave him like 8 extra yards. That one pass by Fergy to OJ, flags flying in backfield... Most certainly OHolding. Probably called back. Quote
