There’s a certain intangible quality that NFL Films specials have and I can’t tell exactly what it is. Something about the music, the late John Facenda’s voice and, most importantly the slow motion takes these specials far above ordinary television to a place not even the greatest human interest story “20/20” has to offer can go. I received one of these on video for a birthday present when I was around eight or nine years old. It was entitled “The Greatest Moments in Super Bowl History” and as I watched this for the first time I couldn’t help but be struck by a quarterback named Terry Bradshaw. Watching him throw the ball fifty yards downfield to Lynn Swann who made a circus catch against the Cowboys is the moment that I really came to idolize Terry Bradshaw as a player. His gunslinger style of quarterbacking sparked my imagination and dictated every football playing session from then until now.
