- I've enhanced the 1972 Week 12 Monday Night Football game between the Rams and 49ers. I upscaled, denoised, and sharpened the picture with Topaz, and also doubled the framerate. I used Resolve to perform a contrast adjustment and to give a major boost to the color. I haven't checked, but it looks like most of the game is present. There appear to be edited huddles at certain points however and I'm assuming some plays are probably missing.
10 yr old me MESMERIZED by this game. I remember it was during Christmas shopping season we were at the mall and I found the Sears TV area and parked my butt until my mom found me. Loving my Rams, every moment
Go Roman Gabriel, Go RAMS!!!
Christmas was SO MUCH FUN back then! The JC Penny's Christmas Catalog and the Sears Wish Book! Football ever Sunday! 🎄Christmas🎄Specials🎄 like Rudolph the Red Nose 🦌Reindeer🦌, ⛄☃️⛄Frosty☃️the⛄Snowman☃️⛄☃️, T`Was the🌙Night🌙Before🎄Christmas🎄, The Muppets Christmas, Charlie Brown 🦃Thanksgiving🦃 and 🎄Christmas🎄and many more! Just hearing & Seeing that Spinning SPECIAL presentation on CBS would make your heart race! 🎄Christmas🎄 was always a great time, always wonderful memories!
Watching Gabriel throw to Snow on a color television at the mall. My childhood in a nutshell. Thank you.
Sounds Perfect ❤
I remember this game and the Rams crazy formation

Yes any game with a time under 2 1/2 hrs is over edited
Bravo!
This is awesome. I’ve never even seen the telecast. I was 9 years old, the game started at 9 pm ET, and it was off-limits on a school night.
@@johnmanier7968 I was 11 years old when this game came out and I hated when the game started at nine because I had to go to bed by halftime
Must win for Rams 11 year old me was very happy
That Youngblood kid was all over the place he’s got a great future ahead of him
"You'll never find" a anthem like this
I thought the same thing and was going to post the same comment, but I wasn't sure if anyone would get the reference. Well played.
They don't put much emphasis on having a famous singer do the anthem unless it's a championship game but it was part of the Monday night package back then. Today I guess the budget goes to paying for the jets to fly over though you don't get to see them unless you're there ..
What a voice! Every note perfect. That song is so hard.
Jack Snow used to announce the Ram games in the 90’s JT Snows dad, Angels, and Giants MLB.
Thank you so very much for doing this game. First time the Rams won on Monday Night Football after 2 previous tries and the last Victory for Roman Gabriel in a Rams uniform. I can't believe I got to see this game again from my childhood. WoW!
Edited huddles and missing plays be damned. ANY presentation of NFL football of this vintage is a rare and welcome treat. Having had my own copy of the original version of this game for many years, I can say unequivocally (I'm channeling Howard Cosell here, get it?) that your enhancement has given it a shine it hasn't had in over a half-century. Great job, Dave, and thanks!
Thanks very much George :)
If you still have it can you upload on UA-cam.
@@nathanielduncan4692 I think you misunderstand. I have this same version, except it was not enhanced like this one. There would be no point in putting up an inferior version. This is the one you want.
@@GeorgeDamon okay thanks for clearing that up I thought you maybe had a version that had commercials.
@@nathanielduncan4692 No, that would be close to impossible. In every case I can think of with these vintage games, you're lucky even to get one version, much less two. And you can pretty much take it to the bank that if anyone is going to have a definitive version to post, it's going to be Dave. In fact, if I DID have a unique version of something, I'd give it to Dave to fix up first anyway. There's too much garbage being posted on YT to begin with, so I might as well give it to the one guy who can take something so-so and turn it into something amazing.
This was real footbal!! Not sure what to call what we see today. Man I miss this sport!!
That's what Tom Brady said 😂
Amen and amen.
That version of the national anthem was… stately. No need to rush with a voice like Lou’s.
Though they didn’t make a Super Bowl appearance during this time, those very early 70s 49ers teams were pretty decent. Gene Washington and John Brodie were a criminally underrated duo.
Love seeing these old games in such great quality! Makes me wish I grew up during this time. Awesome work Dave!
Won the West 1970-72
This is really a good channel
Was eagerly anticipating this rare treat. Great job! 1970's - mid 80's MNF/ABC games were a true civic event in the city they were played in!
This video is outstanding I love the 1970's NFL. The fact that LA Rams Head Coach Tommy Prothro is smoking a cigarette @27:10 provides a real glimpse into this era.
I saw years ago, I think it was an NFL films piece, where Tommy Prothro supposedly drank a 12 pack of Coca-Cola a day
🚬😂😂😂😂
@@dr.hookyeah2883I think you meant six-pack. 12-packs didn't come out until 1993. Prothro did apparently heavily smoke, however.
Well, a LOT of coaches (including 49er coach Dick Nolan) and players back then smoked.
That's not the only sign of the era. There's also...
- The three point stances everywhere.
- The straight on place kicking.
- The single bar for a facemask.
- The terrible throwing. (And non-existent QB footwork.)
- The terrible catching.
- The complete lack of emotion after making a first down.
- The referee who graduated from mime school.
Lou Rawls singing the National Anthem. Best version ever.
'72 was the last flicker of the John Brodie era (and the dynasty that never was) in San Fran. The 49ers were so close to being THE team in the NFL at the start of the 70's. They just always found a way to come up a buck short against Dallas. For any who were around for this era, Dwight Clark's "The Catch" was that much sweeter because it came at the Cowboys' expense. '72 was Spurrier's one good season. Hard to believe he's 78 now. And John Brodie is now 88, but still hanging in there.
That '72 loss to the Cowboys was devastating to my young self. That loss always stuck with me even after The Catch. Lol
And they could never beat the Rams then. They sure have figured that out now.
crazy to think, there was an actual time in history when the L.A Rams totally dominated this rivalry.
Yes. I remember and after the game a Cowboy defensive player , I believe it was Cliff Harris , came up to Montana and asked how it felt to beat" America's Team ? ".
Montana replied , " It feels great and now ' America's Team' can sit at home and watch the Super Bowl on TV like everyone else . " .
@@mreppen1 It was the 49ers' only defeat, and the Rams' only victory, in the last 6 weeks of the regular season.
My Ram fandom as a kid started about this time. Once I was locked in, they spent the rest of the 70s disappointing me with those playoff heartbreaks while instilling a passion that never waned. Go Rams!!
Fantastic old games. There are at least three other 72 MNF classics many of us would love to see if you come across them, Vikings-Redskins season opener, Packer-Lions game five and Vikings-Bears game six. Many thanks for many great contributions to preserving these classic games.
Always hope that 'many' first decade MNF games were preserved is more than a wishful thinking rumor.
Videotape from the Vikings-Redskins 72 Monday night game was used in the intro for MNF in 1973 and 1974 (although in highly stylized graphics) - so maybe the game tape survived. There is a broadcast clip on UA-cam of Dick Butkus making an interception in the Vikings-Bears 1972 Monday night game, so also a better possibility that more exists. It seems there is a decent possibility that the 1973 Vikings-Falcons game tape exists. The broadcast opening including the national anthem is on UA-cam, and there is a broadcast clip of of Bob Lee throwing a TD later in the game in the Monday Night Football 20th anniversary special.
I think I saw a clip from the 1973 Falcons at Lions broadcast used in a TV movie about the early years of Monday Night Football. Hopefully that one exists--awww heck, hopefully they somehow ALL exist somewhere.
Thanks Dave, for putting this one up from the rarely seen 1972 season.
Great job! I watched this game 51 years ago and marveled at "formation zero" paired down now as the "jet sweep" Thank you for the great memories!
The last time I saw that was recalling a film clip from a local TV news sports segment from that time. It puzzled me then, and a half-century later, still puzzles me.
Keep 'em Coming Dave 👏👏👏 ANYTHING from the 1972 season is more than greatly appreciated!!!! P.S. any Chiefs or Colts contest from the 70s or 80s also is greatly appreciated 😂😂
I have never seen any display of this game in any content either
This is a rare treat for the great supporters of this project and our great host M.r Volsky!
This is a cool find! I've seen their 1974 MNF matchup a few times, but I never knew this existed!
My hometown team. I've always been more of a baseball fan, and saw many Giants games at Windlestick Park. As the commentators mention, traffic was always a mess.
At 10 years old, I wasn't interested watching football yet in 1972 but it's wonderful to see the legendary 49ers from that time. It's still a strange feeling driving north on US 101and seeing an empty space where Candlestick used to be.
Thanks for posting this! Love the commercials too, and Lou Rawls singing the National Anthem.
Today's matchup between the 1st and 2nd place 49ers and Seahawks will hopefully be a good game.
San Francisco was a beautiful city back then the freaks took over
Thank You for including the commercials. Love 49ers 70, 71, 72.
Gotta love these Rams uniforms and helmets! What they wear now is horrendous! Please bring back the old "classic" Rams uniforms and helmets! They're iconic!!!
No doubt! they have delayed any throwback uniform for years now where other teams do it like the Titans even brought back the houston oilers uniforms. why won't the rams bring these back at least for a game or two? I think it is because they know people don't like their current uniforms and they will demand the old ones back. It would be having to admit their mistake. I remember as a 14 year old kid just being appalled that they went away from the blue and whites but the 70s uniforms were great also
@@fredgarv79 I believe there are many fans demanding the old ones back. Even the former great Ram, Eric Dickerson! What's puzzling to me is why they ever thought to switch out the uniforms in the first place? It would be like the Cowboys, Packers, Steelers and Raiders switching out their classic uniforms for something that is so awful! The iconic Rams uniforms were at an equal level as those teams uniforms. Hopefully it's just a marketing "money grab" and they'll go back to what the fans truly want...The Rams old uniforms back!!
Dave, thanks so much for your videos. Rare finds and they are appreciated. I watch your Monday Night Football Enhanced Brodcasts every night! Thank you so much!
I remember watching this game at the age of 12. Thanks so much for the upload and enhancement. 😊
I was living in the San Francisco Bay Area at the time, and with the blackout rules they had back then, this is the first time I've gotten to view an MNF NFL game from Candlestick Park of that era.
In the MNF game between the 49ers and Steelers at Candlestick in 1978, I got the opportunity to get down to the field of play after the game, and was astounded on the *HARDNESS* the playing surface was, as it was literally a thin carpet on concrete.
That was one reason Candlestick went back to grass after the 1978 season, mainly to try to help OJ Simpson's knees (Simpson would retire after the 1979 season) though it did show how grass fields were very poorly maintained until Prescription Athletic Turf came into use in the late 1980s with the field at Candlestick often a mud bowl for late-season and playoff games played in or after a big rain. Also helped the baseball Giants a lot.
I'd rather have mud bowls than rug-covered concrete or asphalt any day.
Steve Spurrier, huh? Slinging it around, missing receivers...😮😅. Love this!!!
So cool seeing young steve Spurrier
He really hasn't aged much
Spurrier had by far his best season in 1972 subbing for John Brodie who was injured for most of the season.
The Ol' Head Ball Coach!
I absolutely LOVE watching football without having to sit through dance routines and idiotic celebrations. Thank you so much Dave!
I agree a MILLION PERCENT
And along came Billy "White Shoes" Johnson
Amen brother.
There was class those days
Amazing to see these. So wonderful. Spurrier playing for injured Brodie.
Man, the 49ers Vic Washington was one killer running back. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Still love those Rams uniforms & helmets. Today's Rams uniforms & helmets just don't compare.
Thanks Dave, love these old Niner games. The first game I ever attended was a MNF game at Candlestick between the Niners and Vikings back in "76. Minnesota was a 6 point favorite but the Niners beat them with a 3rd string QB named Scott Bull. He threw for under 20 yards, but SF's running game gashed the Vikes for 325 yards featuring 2 backs that had over 150 yards apiece. The Niners walked off with a stunning 20-16 win! This wouldn't be a bad addition if you have access to it!
Oh, and the Vikings wore purple that night so it'd be easy on the eyes too! Thanks again!
I think I’ve seen that game somewhere on UA-cam. Whether it’s still up is another question.
@@johnmanier7968 Man thanks! I looked and found it on something called classic NFL. Also found a Chris Berman analysis of the game which was really helpful. i'am betting Dave can really improve this one because the color isn't great but it's not broken up. Thanks again!
Dave AMAZING work and so ironic that you posted this game today as I was literally watching my dvd version of this game when I went to your site this morning. Not lying, the timing couldn't have been better. Let me tell you folks the quality is night and day!!!! Thank you so much Dave. Stopped watching my version will be watching yours now. Thanks again and please keep up the great work!!!!! At 19:15 check out the CRAZY play call by the Rams.
Happy to have provided an upgrade to your fortuitous game viewing Henry :)
🙂@@davevolskysbackdoor5673
19:16 Love the formation & execution of this play.
Thank you. I never got to see this game live or at any other time. It was blacked out in the SF Bay Area for the live broadcast.
Love your vintage broadcasts Dave! You rock 💪🏿👊🏾👌🏾
Thanks for uploading this!
Another great, previously unavailable '70s game (except for a play or two which was floating around elsewhere on UA-cam). All this, AND Lou Rawls!
Damn Dave you’re good. Thanks for all your hard work. Just when we think the well is dry we get this-a first for me. Hoping one day to see a John Brodie game where he wins.
I always place a flower on frank giffords resting place when I’m in town .

I attended Sweet !6. Remember the play well.
Dave, thank you so much.
Incredible find! Thanks.
It was really strange seeing Merlin Olsen without a beard.
Growing up in the Bay Area I remember listening to this game on the radio. I was 12.5 at the time. Lon Simmons called the action on KSFO 560. The game was also broadcast on KEST 1450, this was the NFL's national MNF broadcast. I listened to that one for a little bit. Couldn't watch it on TV as NFL games were still being blacked out within 100 miles of the stadium whether they were sold out or not. That finally changed in 1973.
Did you see how Lou Rawls sang? WOW
I was already a die hard fan in 72 but not knowledgeable one (4 years old) So I really enjoyed watching this I don't remember Steve Spurrier playing or who won the NFC West that year so it's like watching live
I think I remember
This game as a kid. I LOVED Roman Gabriel and the Rams. I collected all their football cards and watched when I could. I love the unis!
QB's with single bar facemasks, straight on kickers, coaches smoking on the sidelines, a kick returner making a 60 yard return and getting up and walking right into the offensive huddle with no breaks in the action, helmet to helmet contact without flags flying everywhere, no posturing or dancing after making play ....football.
The NFL needs to have a streaming service that has every game on film avaliable for anyone to watch. This is a missed opportunity.
Honestly, every sport needs to have this. Would love to see old NFL, MLB, NBA and NFL games as well as individual sports like Golf, Tennis, and Boxing as well.
I still find it funny how Atlanta spent so many years in the NFC West.
Not to mention Baltimore in the old NFL West.
Thanks , Dave . Great video . " The Ol' Ball Coach " ,Spurrier had a lot of passes dropped on him
I lived in the Richmond District San Francisco and remember listening to this game on the radio since the game was blacked out. I was 15 years old and things were pretty mellow in San Francisco back in the day. Die Hard fan, saddest game ever was Christmas that December when Preston Riley fumbled the fake kick off against Dallas in the playoffs.
That was Roman Gabriel l last season with the Rams 1972😔
George Allen brought him back in his brief return to the Rams in 1978.
The last good year for the 49ers during the 70's.
Other than 1976 which after 1972 was their lone winning season until 1981.
I LOVE the 1972 games! I am looking for the ABC MNF game between the Chiefs and Saints 9-25-72.
Coach Tommy Prothro smoking a cig on the sidelines in the First quarter classic.
Another great game blacked out in the Bay Area due to local television rules of the era. Of course, I missed the live broadcast. A lot of times, we'd drive up to Chico to watch the 49ers on TV - but there was no ABC affiliate in Chico then and Redding was too far to go on a Monday Night.
@SunshineDave So the TV reception in Chico was kind of "snowy" I take it? 😊
They had a local CBS station KHSL-12 in Chico. Back then all the games except MNF were on CBS. @@oldiesgeek454
I'm heading to Apple Music to look for Lou Rawls discography🙏 Wonderful❤
3:34 I don't think I've ever seen an image of Merlin Olsen looking more like John Madden. 😊
crazy to think, there was an actual time in history when the L.A Rams totally dominated this rivalry.
Lifelong 49ers fan, but way too young to have watched Schreiber, Kwalick, Washington, et al, play. Although disappointed by the outcome, I LOVED watching this vintage 49er team in action! Schreiber and Washington (Both Vic and Gene) certainly had some moves, and Kwalick reminded me a bit of George Kittle- in a good way. Spurrier, uh, well, he was a great college coach. It certainly has a very different feel than today's game. The guys in the backfield seemed to be a much bigger part of the passing game. Also it seems like today's wide receivers are more talented, for one, as far as making contested catches in traffic. Plus, no block in the back calls on kick returns (or false starts called?) Anyway, thanks for the upload! This was fun!
Hi Dave been loving your channel & all of the great content you’ve been putting out recently. It is much appreciated
I realize that your cutoff date is 1984 but I have collected every Niner game(except 2) from that magical ‘81-98 era…plus many others from the Jeff Garcia era…on DVD
So if there’s anything I can do to assist you in putting out even more 49ers content please let me know
Thanks Craig :) My cutoff is 1984, but I lived in the Bay Area and got into football at age 11 in 1983. I only ever followed the Niners, pretty much all the way up to when Steve Young (my favorite player ever) retired in 1999. I did follow them very sporadically for the 15 years after that until I stopped watching the NFL completely in 2014. Anyways, I would probably make an exception for Niner games up through 1994. I've only been able to get a few early 80's games so far, so I might be interested in your offer. If you'd like to email me at davevolsky@gmail.com we could talk further :)
I didn't realize Candlestick had artificial turf at one time.
I remember watching this game when i was 17 years old. Great memories of Gabriel, Snow and Olsen.
Thank you!
One of the best National Anthem's signature song I have ever heard.
It’s weird seeing the broadcast team pass the mic to each other.
The resources for ABC-TV Sports may have been stretched a bit thin, as well as the media space for TV production being cramp at Candlestick Park; as you may note the three guys were not shown abreast, but individually, dressed for cool weather. I had heard the announcer's booth space was not heated, that portable space heaters had to be brought in.
Candlestick Park was a baseball park that was made into a makeshift football stadium.
Roman Gabriel was my hero back then. 1969 MVP but no Super Bowl ring 😔. Still alive and kickin at 83!
Good job bro 😊
Seemed like america was alot more slow paced and laid back before the coke/crack era. All aspects of society sped up it seems in the mid 80s, I could be wrong but its Just my observation from observing old movies and film,newscasts and sports events.
You are correct! I miss those days before the Yuppies took over everything.
You are not wrong, believe me. Things have REALLY gotten exponentially more hectic since the rise of the internet in the late 90s.
Toffler predicted it in Future Shock. Over population and out of control technology are the major issues.
Wow, this game was played on 4th Dec on my 10th Birthday. I remember watching this game and being TOTALLY disappointed, because SF lost on my birthday. It was a lousy BD present from the 49ers! lol
I guess you were disappointed on Christmas, too, the 49ers having blown a 15-point lead in the 4th quarter of their playoff game with Dallas.
@@GeorgeDamon Sure was, as I watched that game too. The same disappointed happened against Dallas in 71 championship game. 😆😆
Dear Santa,
I've not been a model citizen this year, but's not a change from prior years. Nonetheless, I am asking you to deliver the following to my good friend and video restorer extraordinaire, Dave Volsky:
-- Any additional Chiefs games from 1969-1971 (except the Dolphins playoff game in '71, which still makes me cry as I refuse to accept it)
-- Additional Redskins games from 1982-83
-- vintage MNF broadcasts where Dave can edit out any comments by Howard Cosell
I'm not asking for much, Santa. Dave's treasure trove is without equal, and I'm grateful to him for his patient, excellent work. I'm just asking for a little bit more. I will help fund excavations of the sites of old Municipal Stadium in KC and RFK Stadium.
I remain, humbly and desperately yours,
CM

The LA Coach had a cigarette in his mouth. 😅
Hell, half of everybody was puffing on a butt in ‘72. We were some stressed-out mofos, man. 😆
EVERYONE had a cigarette hanging from their mouth in '72.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
I don't remember in 55 years of watching football ever seeing a coach smoke on the sidelines. Of course, the Rams fired Prothro after the season, which they finished 6-7-1.
A lot of coaches back then (Norm Van Brocklin, John Madden, Sid Gillman, Alex Webster, Steelers defensive assistant George Perles among those I've seen) smoked on the sidelines.
Wow memory I was 12yrs. old and I know I Loved my NINERS when my dad watch the NINERS too, just made 62yrs. old and I still Love my niners.
Wow I can see the foundation on the rams both offensively and defensively of the great teams to come in the 70s that always found a way to choke usually in the nfc championship games until 79 which wasn’t even their best team at least not health wise.
The difference in the 49ers execution when Brodie started compared to Spurrier was huge. Brodie was aging and oft-injured in his last few years but when he came in he lifted their performance level significantly. Brodie had a deft touch with longer passes while Spurrier struggled.
Spurrier was the supposed heir apparent, the Heisman winner out of Florida who would continue the success Brodie started and lead the Niners well into the 1970’s. Obviously things worked out differently. He left after ‘75 and the Niners struggled until Bill Walsh and Joe Montana arrived in 1979.
The USFL gave Steve a chance to shine as a play caller and he went on to achieve a Hall of Fame coaching carrier at his Alma mater.
If I squeeze my eyes hard enough....I see TEXT in this ABC Broadcast.
Hi! I just came across your channel ! I love this and your work. Do you do requests in anyway shape or form? Looking for a couple games that mean a lot to me.
Thanks Aaron :) I don't really take requests, but you can ask me if I have certain games. I currently have an inventory of over 300 games to possibly work on and enhance, and there is no rhyme or reason as to which one I'll pick next. Just depends on what I feel like working on any given day. My cutoff is 1984.
Amazing in such a turbulent time the patriotism shown by the NFL and ABC.
This was lst, back-to-back "M.N.F." games involving teams from Frisco Bay area, both home games late in 1972-1973 season. Other one was across bay in Oakland, Calif. wk. later where host Raiders would beat v'stng N.Y. Jets, 24-16 in ABC-TV N'twrk's last airing, "M.N.F." game for N.F.L.'s 1972-1973 season
I'll ask do you have jets vs dolphins 1974 by chance,the channel retro maven has a small clip of the game.
No, don't have that one. Didn't know that clip was out there. I suspect that might be all that exists of that game.
I just like how they played the game back then. Players played hard but no jaw jacking and celebrating after every broken up pass like today. People say the excessive celebration and acting out adds to the game, but I don't agree. I think less is more. And the players seemed more like regular people back then, not overgrown kids like in today's game- they were men.
TESTIFY!
thanks
Lou Rawls singing the National Anthem!
One almost forgets, in a 2023 NFL world where SF’s Brock Purdy and his receivers can complete 80% of their pass plays on a regular basis, that passes were once a risky move, and dropping or missing them was the norm.
All warm nostalgia aside, there’s no question how much higher the sheer skill level is now, and it is amazing to watch.
1:42:59 Dandy Don: "Turn out the lights, the party's over."
You can't go wrong with a Willie Nelson song!
Prothro smoking on the sideline just screams 1970s
8:45 - 11:45 That was awesome!
Notice how then-Rams head coach Tommy Prothro was smoking a ton on the sidelines. That would never be allowed today.
The Rams won this game to get the Rams to 6-5-1 but they would lose their final two games and Prothro was fired at the end of the 1972 season, replaced by Chuck Knox who would take the Rams to a 12-2 mark in 1973. Prothro then became the Chargers head coach in 1974 and was their head coach when they faced the Giants at Shea Stadium in New York on Saturday, November 1, 1975 in the last NFL game to not be televised even though it was a sellout as the Giants likely did not want the game televised opposite high school and college football while the Chargers likely did not want to send a broadcast crew to New York for a 10:00 AM local time start on a Saturday. Prothro would be fired by the Chargers four games into the 1978 season with a 1-3 record where he would be replaced by Don Coryell, who also started 1-3 before the Chargers won seven of eight in the back end of the 1978 season to finish 9-7.
OMG- 9:02 The Great Lou Rawls, with a SMOKIN' national anthem!
This game, these teams, but you also have the absolute BEST ALL-TIME broadcasting team ever! Monday Night Football broadcasts during the 70's are the best ever! To me anyway, there is no other broadcasts that even come close to this team! Nobody is even close to the level of excellence they have!
Forgot that 49er place kicker Bruce Gossett kicked straight ahead.
Yes, and He was a Ram before he was a 49er.
The WR in a 3 point stance LOL
Just fucking awesome! The head coach smoking on the sideline!
Hope you can find original video of the 1976 MNF Niners - Rams game where the Niners won, 16-0 or the 1973 MNF Niners-Pacers.
I don't think either of those exist
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673good.
The only 49er here who made it in the 1981 Superbowl season is still with the Rams in this game (Jack Reynolds).
When life didn't suk, and no social media. Opps! I'm on youtube.
LOL forgot how they so seldom ever told you the fricking score of the game.
