"When i clicked on this I wasn't expecting to see both the Jonestown massacre and The Miracle at the Meadowlands in the same halftime." Yeah, that struck me too. Another thing that hit me was, even though Brent Musburger does a fine job here, halftime shows are so much better now thanks in large part to Fox Sports. On the 1970s CBS halftime show, Musberger is fine, as always. But Phylis George and Jayne Kennedy are simply eye candy. Both are as wooden in their delivery as a petrified forest. Irv Cross, well, he's black, that's really all you could ever say about him. He only looked good in comparison to George and Kennedy.
The murders, not suicides, took place the day before, around 5PM Guyanese time, Saturday Nov. 18, 1978. It was not until around 11PM Guyanese time, that the first news reports trickled out. Even then, it was not known what had happened in Jonestown, only that Leo Ryan, members of the news crew and a defector (Patty Parks) had been shot at the Port Kaituma airstrip. It was not until the Guyanese military had entered Jonestown around 1 PM Sunday that the extent of the carnage was then know. First reports were that 409 had "committed suicide". The number steadily increased to 908. I know, because I was there as part of a US military detachment that arrived at 4PM local time from the US.
Also, remember vividly at this time when San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk were shot and killed in San Francisco City Hall by former Supervisor Dan White. This was a pretty bad period of time in SF history as the People's Temple church had also originated in the Bay area
@@johnscanlon2598 Officially, early body counts were prematurly reported by Guyanese officials, and lead to the suggestion that as many as 700 "escaped into the jungle". Once teams of forensic officials from both Guyana and the US arrived this was "adjusted" to a final count of 904 (I think). Many of the bodies were buried on top of each other and not properly counted. I dont see any "conspiracies" in this issue, as the body count for the first few days of Jonestown was constantly being "updated" day by day as more were being found and counted.
@@johnscanlon2598 No John, no Psyop. Simply a mass murder and suicide pact with a bunch of willing and unwilling cult members. Much "garbage' has been "ex post facto" created to make a conspiracy out of this event, but 2 things to consider. 1 Mark Lane, the father of ALL conspiracies, JFK, Marilyn Monroe, RFK, Peral Harbor etc. was there when it happened. Another opportunity to write another book. Secondly, when asked, Stephen Jones (son) was asked about "Green Berets, Special Forces, Navy Seals etc" and miltary ops conspiracies, he simply stated three words "That's Mark Lane".
On November 19-20 1978 the NFL provided some much needed relief from the horrific Jonestown Massacre from the Miracle at the Meadowlands to Chicago Bears defensive stand vs Atlanta Falcons to the snow in Bloomington Minnesota to both N.Y. teams losing by the same score on the last play of the game 19-17 to Houston Oilers Rookie RB Earl Campbell beat Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins at their own game by running the 🏈 35-30 when Monday 🌙 🏈 was fun and entertaining unlike today's Monday 🌙 trek whata interesting two days wow
I always remembered NFL Today with Brent, reporting after the late game on Sunday afternoon saying "the Jeffersons will be seen in their entirety after today's late game." "Stay tuned on these CBS stations."
In the pre-game before the Super Bowl 56 CBS showed clips of the NFL today from the 70s--sadly Irv Cross and Phylis George have both passed away but Musberger is still around and retired
I grew up with the NFL Today, and really enjoyed the program. I was more into highlights and how the show moved between the games. RIP, Irv Cross. Always a pro.
Mayor Moscone and Harvey Milk would die a week later. They had provided help to Jones. The city had provided children to the cult in exchange for the cult's money and campaign help in the 1975 election. Milk even wrote a letter defending Jones' privilege to hold one of the children (John Stoen), who had been taken from his parents upon dubious allegations of abuse. John Stoen was one of many children killed at Jonestown. Today, there are no commemorations or memorials to Stoen. He is forgotten, even as the gay community continues to honor Milk.
Ah, the 70s….when someone could mention the words Los Angeles and football team in the same breath, and you knew who they were talking about without them having to say the team name. XD
I suspect that the eleven-second silence (with only the "CBS News Special Report" slide on-screen) may have been because one of the other 4 P.M. (Eastern time) CBS regional games (San Francisco/Los Angeles Rams) was hitting halftime, so this news report could be seen on the full network without it being done twice for the viewers of Denver/Green Bay and then again a few moments later for those watching the San Francisco/Los Angels Rams game. But I think CBS also carried the Detroit/Oakland game, so Ed Bradley likely had to do a second special report for stations carrying that game.
Of course, the Jim Jones People's Temple cult had an even more shocking ending: Not long afterwards, Jones ordered his cult to kill themselves, and he joined his cult's members in committing suicide.
One of the most tragic and embarrassing chapters in American history. The State Department says they warned the Congressmen and entourage about the dangers of going to Jonestown basically alone. If they were that concerned, why didn't they send the Military in with them for extra protection? I was 10 when that happened and we talked about it for a week in Social Studies class. I asked the same question and was told Congressmen Ryan denied it. I'm like, If I'm the Head of the State Department, I'm telling Congressmen Ryan that you are NOT authorized to go if you don't take this major help! The sad part about all of that was if the Military had accompanied them no way Jim Jones would have had any chance to kill all those people. I know they had to have Intel on Jones that supported the fact that going into that jungle area with no protection was a mistake and as dangerous as it got. I give Mr. Ryan as much credit as any man of his stature for his bravery, but as often happens with men that rise to certain heights, they make the mistake that their status will be respected, but when they were on that truck and got to the airport they all knew the chances of them getting away safely instantly were reduced to worst than 50-50. If they had some "bring it if you want to" special Military personnel they may have had to still duck some bullets, but the odds would have been way better than 50-50! I'm still wondering why they were allowed to go to Jonestown basically naked, when they knew the man they were dealing with was heavily "suspect" mentally. Anytime you have these powerful religious cult leaders, its been proven that they are unstable and you can bet many of their followers were just as unstable. It was a suicide mission all they way, and I hope all involved in DC learned a valuable lesson. After that there were others that rose up, but at least here in America they watched them and moved in when the felt it necessary. Thanks for reading my rant. I can tell that I don't think we have anyone in Congress that would ever attempt something like that. Not because they wouldn't feel the need, no because I don't think not one has the brass balls to say, I'm going to check this guy out, and if anyone wants to go home, we'll get them out. He should be remembered and his crew that accompanied them should all be remembered as heroes for their bravery and representing the best America has to offer. I Thank All that gave their lives that day. I didn't have to happen that way, but it would be a bigger mistake if we don't remember them correctly and give them their due.
1979, WBCHS (Wright Brothers Career High School) San-Diego, I did a book report on the tragedy. It is pretty much the most heinous thing that I have ever dug into.
Not a great comparison. Anyone can miss a potential game winning field goal. The Giants just had to take a knee and allow time to expire (yes I'm a Giants fan). I recall the documentary made about the Miracle at the Meadowlands mentioned that they had actually taken a knee the play before the fumble. New York was trying embarrass Philadelphia. Also, if memory serves me correctly the Giants OC was fired the next day, which was not surprising. Lol
5:58 Isn't that how Coughlin looked when Desean Jackson ran that punt back literally in the very parking lot that became MetLife Stadium some 32 years later?
Oh how I remember the Miracle of the Meadowlands. I was so mad I broke my "we're Only in it for the Money(Frank Zappa) by slamming it back in to the box.
Wow, I didn't know that..🤔 he's been pretty successful so far. .... Nothing against his family, I just enjoy seeing any New York teams from any sport get Beat and Humiliated😂. Because I love to see obnoxious New Yorkers pissed off.🤖 Philadelphia Too! But when it's Philadelphia against New York, I like to see them kill each other. ... New York LOST through STUPIDITY and Philadelphia only won because of LUCK. Both sides SUCK!!
The Giants fired their offensive coordinator for such a boneheaded call the next day. He never took a football-related job again but instead opened a bait shop.
Rather jarring to see the Miracle at the Meadowlands and the beginning of the Jonestown Massacre in the same 10 minutes... The only teams not seen, BTW, were the Miami Dolphins and Houston Oilers...who would play on Monday Night Football the following night in a raucous, pom-pom filled game the Oilers won in the Astrodome that marked the beginning of "Luv Ya Blue". It must have been a great week for the NFL despite the backdrop of tragedy many miles away in Guyana...proof we live in a small and chaotic world where even our greatest escapes ultimately fall to the inevitability of reality.
Jones was partly responsible for the Dems getting power in San Fran in the first place. His people provided money and muscle for the Dems to win the 1975 election. Before that, San Fran was a GOP town. Jones was amply rewarded. The Dems gave him hundreds of children that were taken from homes of parents that were accused of abuse. He took those children with him when he went to Guyana with his cult. Those children were among the first to die.
Both New York teams losing on the same Sunday by the same score of 19-17. What were the odds on that possibility happening on the same day? About a billion to one I say.
Oh man, Jayne Kennedy!! So, the "miracle at the meadowlands" and Jonestown were at the same time?! Also, how long has it been since both NY Teams had a home game on the same day?
Jim Jones was an awful communist but he did do some good things to get rid of segregationist policies in Indiana in the 1960s. But every attempt he had to make a commune failed miserably.
Marvelous to see the inanity of the NFL broadcast team carrying on after the announcement of the killing of Congressman Ryan and his delegation. It said so much about priorities- a brief report, then back to the scores in a cheerful tour around the league.
@@michaelleroy9281 Most Americans received news of this incident the next day. Musburger even says, "As some of you may have heard-" The lack of preparation as Bradley prepares to go on air also indicates this was very much a breaking story, having just occurred in a remote location. There isn't even mention yet of the mass suicide/murder scene at the People's Temple site. Details overall remained sketchy.
This happened on my 12th birthday...followed by the mass suicide the following day (or was it the same day?). I will never forget the images of all the bloated bodies. Then the assassinations of Moscone and Milk a few days later.
Dallas leads series 17-15...they have played 32 times. Played three times in Super Bowl. Pitt won two Dallas won one. Dallas lost by four points in both losses and won by over ten points..Anyway
@@seanmorgan9068 Dolphins were good also. Raiders went to 9 AFL /AFC Champion games from '67 to '77 and played in 2 SBs in that time. Tough competition in the Madden years but quite a feat.
Sf mayor assasinated on November 27 the day mnf hosted pittsburgh at the 49ers. Sf 49ers lifted the city spirit three years later. Dallas cowboys also restored civic pride sfter the jfk assassination

Marvelous to see the inanity of the NFL broadcast team carrying on after the announcement of the killing of Congressman Ryan and his delegation. It said so much about priorities- a brief report, then back to the scores in a cheerful tour around the league.
People tune into football games to get away from news, which is always bad. Other networks could cover it.
@@funktron4 And people tune in to the news to get away from the football games.
That happened on Saturday the 18 the, the news of that should have already been known on Sunday
@@michaelleroy9281 Most Americans received news of this incident the next day. Musburger even says, "As some of you may have heard-" The lack of preparation as Bradley prepares to go on air also indicates this was very much a breaking story, having just occurred in a remote location. There isn't even mention yet of the mass suicide/murder scene at the People's Temple site. Details overall remained sketchy.
This was not long after Vietnam ended, maybe 4 years. American were use to hundreds dying every day overseas.
This happened on my 12th birthday...followed by the mass suicide the following day (or was it the same day?). I will never forget the images of all the bloated bodies. Then the assassinations of Moscone and Milk a few days later.
don't drink the kool aid!!!!
There was no kool-aid at Jonestown.
@@prokesuk yeah there was laced with cyninde
Jonestown coverage wow
Better days.
Jayne Kennedy...taking exciting games and making them boring!
How so?
STEELERS crush cryboys 1975..1977..1978..1979..1982.2004..2008..plus many other times
Don't forget Super Bowl 30 and opening day of 97 season in Pittsburgh...
Dallas leads series 17-15...they have played 32 times. Played three times in Super Bowl. Pitt won two Dallas won one. Dallas lost by four points in both losses and won by over ten points..Anyway
They were the only team that mastered the Cowboys back then
2 best teams of the 70s were the Steelers and the Raiders that was the real super bowl
@@seanmorgan9068 Dolphins were good also. Raiders went to 9 AFL /AFC Champion games from '67 to '77 and played in 2 SBs in that time. Tough competition in the Madden years but quite a feat.
The guy who called the play for the giants never worked in football again
The congressman had no real reason to be hypervigilent. No one outside the People's Temple really understood what a snake pit the place was.
Every one outside the crazy liberals in San Francisco knew Jones was a mad man
Jane Kennedy was superfine!!😂
Lol, at 00:20, "....the Washington Redskins were ambushed by the Buccaneers. And speaking of ambushes, how 'bout that big mess in Guyana, Irv!"
Sf mayor assasinated on November 27 the day mnf hosted pittsburgh at the 49ers. Sf 49ers lifted the city spirit three years later. Dallas cowboys also restored civic pride sfter the jfk assassination
Don’t drink the Kool-Aid kids
Just don't drink the kool-aid offered to you by lunatic psychopathic nut jobs that keep it in 55 gallon drums under tents in far away hidden places..... 👌
What? Freaks from San Francisco back in the 70’s? Nothing has changed....probably worse.
Jones was originally from Indiana where he learned how to be a demented jesus freak.
@@prokesuk there's three words that are hardly ever seen in the same sentence.....'demented' 'freak' and 'Jesus'. Nicely done. 👏👌
Jayne Kennedy was ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. I guess looks are everything.
She did that interview with Thomas ( Hollywood) Henderson
Jim Jones
From San Francisco...well now...that shocks who?
washington 8-4..... i would give anything to be 8-4 again
Jane Kennedy was terrible!
Break up Bud Wilkinson's Cardinals
