In retrospect, I think the 1980s was a great decade to watch sports on television! In February 1980, the US men's Olympic hockey team won the gold medal after the "Miracle on Ice" match, which was one for the ages! Nobody knew that Kenny Morrow would go from gold medal in the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid to Stanley Cup with the NY Islanders in his rookie season just a few months later! Magic Johnson and Larry Bird would also go from NCAA fame to NBA greatness, both within just a couple of years! In hockey, Wayne Gretsky would set new records in his athletic discipline. And, two QBs from Notre Dame would go on to win Super Bowls in the NFL. Super Bowl XXIV was frosting on the cake to a great decade for sports television. The 1990s were also quite a decade for sports television, as the NY Yankees established themselves as the finest sports franchise of the 20th century!
I always thought something looked drab or depressing about this game. Like if you compare it to the Super Bowl after the 96 season, it looks totally different. Did the SuperDome upgrade their lighting or is it a matter of the color settings that CBS used in 89, vs FOX in 1996?
The last NFL/Super Bowl Today assignment for Brent Musberger as the host. He was fired just 3 months later. Also the last for Irv Cross as Brent's partner. The following season Greg Gumbel replaced Brent Musberger as the new host of the NFL Today. While Terry Bradshaw became the studio analyst replacing Irv Cross.
@@ricardolozano5356 Brent was fired cause he wanted too much control of being the main guy at the network. He had been doing a lot of broadcasting work doing the NFL Today, College Football play by play, college basketball, the Belmont Stakes and the College World Series. And CBS just underwent a major management change at the network. And they just felt it was time for a change. Irv on the other hand wasn’t fired. He just got moved up to the broadcast booth to join Tim Ryan on its NFL coverage. Both him and Terry Bradshaw switched roles after the 1989 season.
Pat Summerall after the last touchdown: This is just unfortunate 😂

TV graphics got better.
I do love old Terry, but his team wouldn't have a chance against the 89 49ers!!! They were really good, but the 49ers were beyond great that year!!!
