Special NFL Edition 2009! NFL on CBS 50th Anniversary Plus More Updates

Can we finally admit it…Please?

The NFL owns your daddy. The Entertainment Industry, The Congress, The Schools, and maybe the country.

That’s not a bad thing: Mr Goodell is a better conservative than George W Bush ever was.

Were about 6 weeks away from the Kickoff 2009 – and since this season is FINALLY CALLED called “Ye Patriots Revenge Tour against Manning the Older and The Younger”, and more WWF Raw Face/Heel turns… I have been on a old school kick lately.

Thats old school themes. Before we had the mega HD/Blu-Ray-1080p joints.

CBS back in the 1970’s were the best trickers in the Business. They used the old “Confidence” theme from 1961 – 1976 while there intro was pretty damn good for its time.

They had the NFL Today come back in 75, and they were at the stadiums. Irv Cross was the king. Hes my hero for life. ill show that one too as well as:

  • The 1976 theme for the super bowl, and regular season plus the 1978 and 79 NFL Today themes with smart men and hot chicks, well if your a cougar lover lol.
  • a very rare 1981 (but the footage is from 82) Theme from the NFL today – looks like a anime but it isnt. As well as the intro for the NFL on CBS 82 and 83…
  • A VERY RARE intro from the 1982 Super Bowl
  • The Legendary, Greatest Intro of all time and for all time, the 1983 NFL Today theme they used until 1989. It was so good they couldn’t get rid of it. It ages like fine wine.
  • The 1987 Super Bowl Theme with a Very Familiar Song and Intro.
  • The 1990 super bowl theme, with a tune from the 1966 cbs color intro on b flat.
  • The 1986 to 1989 Intro to the NFL on CBS Sports – that pots and pans theme that yall dudes were playing real pots and pans with!
  • The 1992 Super Bowl Intro from the Super Bowl Today as well as The Long version of the Super Bowl intro
  • The 1992 and 1993 themes as well as the final broadcast of the legends who made the NFL greater than it ever could be now…
  • The 99 theme which was the best one they did since the 83 or 86 versions
  • the new 2006 theme and what so important about it.

Of course, there some others from other networks:

  • NBC’s Themes from 73, 78, 81, 85, 93, 96, 2006, 2009 super bowl
  • Some funky themes from ABC – 73 and 78, as well as the 85 theme and as well as some others.
  • Possible look into the Fox Themes as well.

These are a part of my history. But, there is always a animation quotient in everything i do here, so there is gonna be some major surprises you know and some you dont.

So next week, sit back, relax get ready for the new season, and hope the Eagles come and shock everybody this year…which they have with the signing of Michael Vick…

  1. Hey, have you heard anything about CBS bringing back one of their older themes this year and dropping their GOD AWFUL childish rap theme? Thanks in advance.

    • They got rid of the Rap Theme in 2006 when they started using the new intro (I got it on the new page so give it a look) As for this year – Its hard to say. CBS had a theme back in the 1960’s – but didn’t have any unified one until 1981. The 1981 theme was done In House as far as i know – If they do bring it back they will have to use all of the themes – if they still have the original recordings (they had done remasters but not sure if they even exist.)
