Classic Video Thread (pre-2008)

From CanuckFanNSTGS, here's the NFL '86 NBC pregame show opening segment from December 7, 1986. Some stuff to notice includes the fact that this was when the pregame show was shot in front of a studio audience, and a debate on whether or not there was too much on-field violence.

 

This was two weeks after a cheap shot by Green Bay defensive end Charles Martin that ended Chicago quarterback Jim McMahon's season. The following week, Bears linebacker Otis Wilson delivered an elbow to Pittsburgh receiver Louis Lipps, drawing the ire of NBC commentators Charlie Jones and Jimmy Cefalo (the following day, Jones and Mike Ditka got into a heated argument during a WMAQ newscast).

I don't want to start a list but WFLA seemed to love the "Turn To" package for promos but never used it for news as they used 615's Power News. I think this guy worked for WFLA because he also has video of a Chris Thomas Live at Five Promo and a video from 1998 when the power went out in downtown Tampa which forced Channel 8 to do their 5pm newscast outside and use WTOG's facility for the 6pm newscast.
