    The Superstars competition was the best! Such a great idea - brings me back to my childhood days.

    Great watching Herschel Walker go head to head with Willie Gault. Like Superman vs. the Flash.

      So it was decided by one guy watching it live? Should be judged by watching the slow motion replay.

    Man, Gastineau was like superman back in 1987. Sad to see him so frail these days. He is battling colon cancer, dementia, and Alzheimer. Major up hill battle but wish him full recovery.

      Praying for a positive outcome?
      Jesus The Christ
      The foolishness of God.
      Is wiser than man's wisdom.
      The weakness of God stronger than man's strength.
      Immanuel Didn't He Do Well Well!
      I can't help 'bout the shape I'm in
      I can't sing
      I ain't pretty
      and my legs are thin.
      But don't ask Me what I think of you? You might not got the answer that you want me to.
      Now when I talk to God
      I try to understand
      He's sit by Me and I'll be your guiding hand. Oh Well!😮

      Yes, he actually beat him twice in that event. Darrell said Walker just had a different gear than the rest of us. Where did those day go? I remember watching those events as a kid.

    Loved this show as a kid, but there's no way teams ( or insurance companies) would allow current sports stars to do it these days - too worried about someone getting injured.

      Even in the 80s, athletes got paid a pittance compared to what they make now. For instance, they showed Todd Worrell in that first interview… he only got paid $100,000 in 1986. Sure there’s some pride involved as well, but the prize money in events like this made it pretty lucrative.

    Gosh I miss this 70's/80's dramatic music, and the bombastic commentary too. I think the word is 'razzmatazz', that's it, they had razzmatazz back then, I loved razzmatazz as a kid. It's probably seen as a cliche nowadays.

      During the off season, he did about 1500 on average, and about 2,000 (scissor) crunch situps.
      During the season, he'd do about 700 pushups. That doesn't count his pullups bar dips & sprints.
      As a once disciple, I've done as many as 1,600 (quality) pushups in 58 to 62 minutes. But not everyday. I've done as many as 2,200 pushups during the course of watching an NFL (500 a quarter & 200 at halftime) game. My sincere apologies for any ambiguity.🙂
      These days I do between 200-600 pushups three days a week, along with about 500-1000 situps. Not counting other routines.

He lost every time he raced Willie Gault in the 100.This is the easiest thing to look up out of all of it go to the NCAA championships when they were both seniors gault beat him all three times he followed his ass into the finals quarters semi finals he lost all three dim wit.
