OT: Favorite Sam Spence / NFL Films music

Not much music, but plenty of memories. "The Number One Ranked Pittsburgh Panthers." The Six Million Dollar Man. Tony Dorsett. And of course a Pitt win!
Yeah, but we had the Six Million Dollar Man on our side! I was very young but I thought it was the coolest that our coach was related to Johnny Majors. I found out years later that was not true, but as a little kid it was great knowledge.
At Pitt in the 80s, a favorite drinking event was any football game with Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen. Whenever Merlin would say "Dick" you had to take a sip. If he'd say "that's right Dick" or "Yes, Dick" you had to down the whole beer.
NFL Films has great music, but growing up, the sound of football was NFL Primetime:
CBS had an NBA theme late 70s early 80s that i remember sounding vaguely like the theme from the show "Good Times" ... a disco-y, funky, gospel-y song. "You get the best in basketball/ when you watch the NBA/ when you watch the NBA on CBS "... then there was a fade out of a Good Timesque choir just alternating "NBA ... CBS ... NBA ... CBS ..." Corny, but obviously i must like corny, since I remember it...
... actually I found the link to it. The first part is actually not like what i wrote at all, stunningly lame for about 30 secs, but kicks into what i describe after...
Hah. Our high school played a scratchy recorded version of that song as our team took the court
God bless you!!!! These two were absolutely the best. Thanks for sharing. My god, these might be the two best for NFL Films for me
This one is used a lot.
With a song like this, you wonder how those a$$hats lost that war!

To this day, at 50 years of age, I workout to the music from these two GOTWs.
Maybe it's because it's from the same era, but the first thing that jumped into my head when I saw that picture from that clip was, "Jane, you ignorant slut."
Not to hijack but any baseball fans of TWIB
This was the opening theme?
This was the closing theme?
