I've watched a whole bunch of them. Football in general was so much better to watch back then.
I thought the game was better, but also nothing has ever come close to Madden and Summerall for me in football. A perfect Sunday was a 1980s Giants win done by those 2.
For baseball, I still long for Messer, White, and Rizzuto doing a Yankee game, and rotating out for the radio at times. Marv Albert doing a Knicks game.

And the Rangers. “Kick save and a beauty.”
I'd feel the same if I was a bigger hockey fan. I'm only a fringe fan now and really barely followed the Rangers as a kid.
Criqui was filling in for Marv Albert on a Knicks broadcast. This was during the Knicks ‘69/70 first title run. Cazzie became the first guy off the bench as Holman played only 8 of his 12 man squad and Bradley became the starting SF. Cazzie was in a second half of the season zone as he’d score 3-4 buckets in a row to give the Knicks a huge boost off the bench.
To this day, in that Criqui voice, I can hear him shout, “and Cazzie Russell has come alive.”
Not an important anecdote, but just the mention of Criqui evokes that memory..
How did they make the playoffs (I know, Taylor, Carson, Van Pelt, Reasons, Haynes and Jackson).
Beating the Eagles never gets old!

Doesn't get better than that.

That quote came after the Giants won the wildcard playoff game against the Eagles.
