@Barkley_Tap Ben was two super bowls in the 2000’s. I’d bump him up to 5.

44 years ago today, Pat Summerall and John Madden called a Division-III college football game.

Wittenberg vs. Baldwin-Wallace
October 3, 1982

During the fall of '82, in the second week of the NFLPA's 57-day players' strike, CBS needed to get creative with its Sunday afternoon programming.

So on October 3, the network sent its top NFL broadcast team of Pat Summerall and John Madden to Springfield, Ohio to call Division-III Wittenberg's game against its rival Baldwin-Wallace — each school with an enrollment then of about 2,000 students.

Three other NFL on CBS broadcast teams were also assigned to call Division-III games that weekend.

Wittenberg, Baldwin-Wallace, and the Ohio Athletic Conference were each paid $10,000 for the game.

The video includes the CBS open and pregame introduction by Pat and John, the first several minutes of the game, and select highlights from this historic CBS broadcast.

A very rare and fascinating telecast — and quite a thrill for those players, coaches, students, and communities.

@CaptainCons Do D1 coaches not watch high school film of the kids they’re recruiting? It feels like 20% of the high schools still run wing T.

The revisionist history for this Penn State team is insane. 3 things can be true:

1. Franklin had to go for MANY reasons. We gave him 12 years. It was time.

2. Campbell was a universally respected hire & brought a Top-5 portal class

3. The Campbell era has been AWFUL to start

@andypollin1 I was always taught that knee pads are there to prevent a concussion if you kneee someone else. No idea if that’s true or not though

@LedyardNFLDraft To me, the defense issues were compounded by poor tackling and physicality. Definitely had some scheme breakdowns too. But Pittsburgh was NOT the more physical team.

Do wonder if the #Steelers will get a Thursday night home game against a divisional opponent some day.

Their last two were in 2015 and 2011.

This was their fifth Thursday night road AFC North game since 2019.

RG3 is a tough listen

[Run and Fun Football @RandFFootball]

@TIG_Ronin A perfectly legal hit?

[Trai Essex @TraiDay79]

Not tackling in training camp has really paid dividends and carried over to the season.

@paragraph42 @KevinAdams26 As a fellow Cleveland Ohio resident, I disagree with you.

[Run and Fun Football @RandFFootball]

@RyanPaganetti @JeffEisenberg I was thinking about this last night. If you can push the guard into the backfield 2 yards, most likely the jumper will be jumping from the original line of scrimmage. I think most frequently, the jumper will still be on the defensive side. How does this change the projections?

@MarkKaboly @JoshYohe_PGH @PaulZeise They all count the same. If they need a “warm up period”, I recommend they use the 3 pre season games

[Run and Fun Football @RandFFootball]

@_adamcrowley JPJ also has zero tackles

[Run and Fun Football @RandFFootball]

It’s nearly impossible to play prevent defense at the end of a game if a field goal can tie or win the game for the other team. I think the if there is less than 30 seconds on the clock, the only answer is cover 0/1 and aggressive blitzs

@RyanPaganetti @nytimes Ryan, what does your football research process look like? Just the mechanics. Do you get an idea, watch a shit ton of film and use a notebook? Do you use a software? Are you creating mathematical models? Designing experiments?

[Run and Fun Football @RandFFootball]

@BFW @ScootBarley Hilarious response 😂

[Scoot McGee @ScootBarley]

CFB coverage is so bad despite all the demand. Makes zero sense.

The options are:

-Listen to Josh Pate say 1000 words to make 1 point

-Listen to Kirk Herbstreit advance ESPN narratives

-Listen to Brandon Walker be a retard

How is there nothing better???
