Back in the late 80s I was at a trade convention and met Meredith in an elevator with my sons. I was wearing my Browns gear, for days through out the convention he always yelled out "Hey Cleveland" .... Years later I was in an airport and someone yelled out "Hey Cleveland" ... It was Meredith ... great memory, kind person
They were an institution. Just so many damn memories through the years. The first games I watched with my old man was MNF, with those 3 on the call. This game in particular...being Northeast Ohioans, was super special. To put the belt to Dallas' ass on national TV was memorable. 😏😄
I was 7 years old almost 8 watching this back in 1979. Couldn't miss watching my favorite player of all time......Tony Dorsett. The year I started collecting football cards. Still got my collection of cards. Most from the '79-'80 season.
Those two sentences you put together tell a wonderful story that us reader's can unfold. I can see a man and his boy Learning about life through a football game. You probably talked about your first girl you had a crush on - you got a pep talk about your struggle in math class - what you would like to do with your future - the hug your father gave you at halftime when you talked about your best friend who was killed in a car accident. Something I never had but I find comfort in those who were close with their father. I did however watch football with my mommy once she fell in love with Ken Stabler when I was 11years old. She swore she would never watch football again when the Raiders traded him to Houston. But then the Phoenix - Jim Plunkett - rose out of nowhere to turn the 2-3 Raiders into an 11-5 record and win the Super Bowl and had to best Stablers Oilers 27-7 along the way. I think it was Lyle Alzado, whom she hated when he crushed her Stabler while with Denver, but when he sacked him in that game she hesitated and then yelled "yea that's it kill him Alzado'' She had her knew handsome QB and she researched his storybook life. Plunkett came out of nowhere and followed with 5 more seasons. My mom never watch another football game from start finish and no more yelling at a defensive lineman for bashing her beloved Plunkett. She bought his book when it was issued after his career. Before she died, I was able to get an autographed Jim Plunkett Jersey when he played at Stanford. I still have it. And I just realized that your two sentences brought back these great memories of my little southern mommy who loved Stabler for his beard and wild life style and then Plunkett who really moved her with his story. It wasn't a dad, but it was a nice 7 year run sharing my love for the Raiders All because of #12. But I never put Plunkett over the Snake.... If I need a touchdown to win a super bowl, I would pick Tom Brady. If I needed a touchdown to save my life, I choose Stabler YHWH bless
eloforever I couldn't have said it better this is my favorite all-time Browns uniform with the brown/white jersey paired with the orange pants. When they redo their uniforms in 2020 hopefully they go back to this look as their primaries.
@@jurnagin I'm not a fan really of the white pants for the Browns I prefer the orange pants first then the brown pants when paired orange or white jerseys. White pants looks decent with brown or orange tops but definitely no to the all-whites.
I agree so much, I LOVE the Orange pants and Brown jerseys/Orange pants and White jerseys from this era. My all time favorite look. I'm a little nervous about the uniform redesign in 2020 because the current unis are so darn ugly I hope they don't make them worse. The "BROWNS" lettering down the leg is just silly, looks like an arena football team.
Remember this game well. I was given a ticket to this game because a co workers dad could not make it. By time i made it to the stadium as I was finally sitting down in my seat Brian Sipe was throwing a td to Dave Logan. what a memorable night !!! Thanks for the memories Browns.
I'm still in amazement that someone had a VCR in 1979!! I bet that "state of the art" technology cost a lot back then. And yes, that 90210 intro on the same tape sure had me confused!!
@@dwissba68 Raiders beat them in the finals minutes in 1980 playoffs, but the Broncos in the late 80's turned out to be a Freakin Nightmare for the Brownies.
@Feathers and Arrows Fez and Turbans --Hank Stram used it with the Texans/Chiefs, too. It was meant to hide running backs when they shift between a split-back formation (preferred for pass plays, sweeps and traps) and the I formation (which was preferred for runs between the tackles, pitch-outs and play-action passes).
@@vwm8534 Merlin Olsen said he and Jack Youngblood were very frustrated in a game against Dallas and used that up-down stance as an excuse to deliberately jump offsides and flatten the Cowboys' line. It was the one time Olsen got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Thank you for these uploads! Amazing memories for me , I was 15 in ‘79 and watching again at 57. My homework unfortunately never got done on Monday nites. MNF was everything to me and Howard’s half time highlight show was what I always waited for.
Some of the greatest memories of my life when it comes to my Cleveland Browns. I miss those days so much. I was just twenty two back then. I am now sixty two soon to be sixty three. We had some great team back then. But we never ever got to play in the Super Bowl.
The first two minutes and 30 seconds of this brings me back to my childhood. Just like that dude in Ratatouille. The Cosell intro, the opening music was just great. MNF is STILL my all time favorite tv show.
I was a senior in high school in the Fall of '79, with a part-time job working at a big department store in the DC area. I was stuck working in Men's Shoes, which was on the 2nd Level. TV & Electronics were down on the 1st level. I nearly got fired because the store GM caught me 3 times down in the TV section watching the game.
I was 12 years old watching this game. Alone with a 13" B/W t.v. in my bedroom with the volume barely above 1. I was grounded because if detentions and wasnt allowed to watch it. BUT I DID!😎
I was at this game! We sat in the lower deck behind home plate pretty far back. What a game! I was so pissed my parents made me go to school the next day.
RAN AWAY FROM HOME (DETROIT) ON FRIDAY THE 20TH OF SEPTEMBER AND WOUND UP CLEANING UP THE STADIUM, TUESDAY WORKING FOR 'MINUTE MAN'. FOUND OVER $12O, PLUS I PICKED UP HUNDREDS OF TICKET STUBS YOU COULD REDEEM AT WENDY'S. THE CITY ROCKED ALL THAT WEEK. GREAT MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy Cow!!!! I dont know how this appeared in my feed as a suggestion. I hate the Cowboys and dont like the Browns. I am a Steelers fan But I am watching this whole game. Thanks for posting. And RIP Howard Cosell.
@@toddlee2571 Nah, too much was made of that, and their fans really are the ones that hated them. Other teams tend to wear whites at home (with some exceptions like Pittsburgh & Houston), so visitors tend to wear their dark jerseys.
2:18:14 one of the best second efforts i've ever seen . Mike Pruitt stopped a yard or so in front of goal line but stays on his feet and thrusts himself over the goal line, TD !
Goddamn, the Browns and Cowboys had great uniforms in this game and in this era. Starting with the Browns I've always loved the Kardiac Kids orange pants paired with brown or white just a unique and great look hopefully these become the primaries in 2020 for their new uniforms. Also the Cowboys uniform is different from now I actually loved this royal blue paired with the actual gray/blue pants. Also, the font for the Cowboys was beast back in the 70s they went to that generic shit around 81 or 82. Just an overall great video when MNF was a real event and I love the fact that the uploader left the commercials in that's awesome!
The Land was in full debauched throat on this night, repping us so damn proud. Its was much like the World Series of Rock that was at the stadium a few months before...just utter madness and chaos.
I miss these guys. Cosell was a personality unto himself with two excellent TRUE color guys in Meredith and Gifford. The game could be a DOG and you'd keep watching because these guys could make paint drying sound exciting.
Dandy Don was a true original..I remember one of the first Monday night games Dallas was playing and in the pregame Don said, " I just want everybody to know I still have a lot of good friends on that Cowboy team, but I'm a professional and I am gonna be totally impartial." Then he turns to Howard and says. "Hey Howard did we win the toss or did they." LMAO
@ John Smith, well O.J. took the rap for his son, who committed the crime, watch the interaction between them at the very end of his famous "car chase" when they pull into the driveway...
Great upload. Thanks! Monday Night Football just seemed so much more...bigger than life back then. Rucker really became a quality receiver late in his career.
As I recall, this was Hollywood Henderson's last game as a Cowboy. He was seen laughing on the sidelines during the game. Landry benched him and eventually cut him for "conduct detrimental to the team".
I remember seeing the Oilers in the Dome as a kid back then. It sounded like musket fire when the ball was snapped. Smash mouth football with linemen cracking heads every play. Now, it’s almost like a silent movie to see a game in person.
Wish all teams would return the their "origional look" of 1970/80 styles. Think on this thou. Teams that dont need to change their look. KC..CHI...GB....PITT...OAK/LV...LARAMS( back to the Blue & White) good..... Teams desperate for "change back" TB..SEA( The WORST LOOKING UNIES)...1976 expantion uniforms return too. Denver...Cincinnati..Tennessee ( OILERS STYLE) .NE...( PUT PATRIOT PAT. Back on the helmet...this time in " OLD GLORY" Blue. Houston. ..yea....Miami ( loved the 1970's look sported in 2018) keep permanently...so on so on...its late.
Minute 2356 the only time hall of famer ozzy Newsome spiked the ball. He talked about it. Thought coach bear Bryant was probably watching he called him and apologized. Never spiked it again. Class. Cheers Ozzie you will always be loved in the 216. Cheers
I like the commercials, especially the car ones. Life looked like it was somebody's nightmare. When I see these old televised from back then I always wonder where they came from. Home VCR's weren't even available to the average consumer until the early 80's when they became somewhat affordable.
Boy, you don't hear that too often, " Battle of the Unbeatens", Dallas and Cleveland...back when MNF was must watch on ABC with the classic broadcasting team...
Electric on this evening for sure. I couldn’t wait until school was over! The excitement and anticipation of this game was simply rocking! Amazing effort by the beloved Brownies!
@@mikewack6778 me and my late dad had season tickets in the pound in '86 and '87. Mark Jackson caught the Drive td right in front of us. Its was a glorious time in ne ohio during that time due to the Browns success. Glad I got to have those times with the old man
Back in the late 80s I was at a trade convention and met Meredith in an elevator with my sons. I was wearing my Browns gear, for days through out the convention he always yelled out "Hey Cleveland" ....
Years later I was in an airport and someone yelled out "Hey Cleveland" ... It was Meredith ... great memory, kind person
Meredith was one of a kind. Great story.
Brian Sipe said this was the last game his father saw him play, and the proudest moment of his career.😊
Brian was a tough QB ,i liked him too
Man! That 1979 MNF intro was greatness!
Chris Kimbell F yes Chris. I hummed along and it’s been 40 years.
Not only are the games great, but the old commercials are also very memorable.
I agree 💯. Not a Cowboys fan at all but it brought back memories when I seen the offensive line do that pre set.
I served Lyle Alzado in a restaurant in 1987. Despite his various issues he was very polite and soft spoken .
MAN, LYLE WAS REALLY GETTING AROUND! WASN'T HE
IN THE 80s?
Yes, I know a girl who dated Lyle - a total gentleman. And a very good person. But on the field nasty
RIP Frank, Howard & Dandy Don

Learning about life through a football game. You probably talked about your first girl you had a crush on - you got a pep talk about your struggle in math class - what you would like to do with your future - the hug your father gave you at halftime when you talked about your best friend who was killed in a car accident.

It wasn't a dad, but it was a nice 7 year run sharing my love for the Raiders
All because of #12.
But I never put Plunkett over the Snake....

@Dave I was lucky too. Parents handed me down their 1970 24" Zenith (our first color TV) in 1978. Worked great until 1984, couldn't be happier.

Electric on this evening for sure. I couldn’t wait until school was over! The excitement and anticipation of this game was simply rocking! Amazing effort by the beloved Brownies!
Love it, thanks Sipe was awesome
They need to reshow those Miller Lite commercials during games. They were the best!
Thanks for the upload amigo.
This is the real MNF. Thank you for sharing this.
I wish the Cowboys would once again wear these uniforms. These are beautiful uniforms.
Agent Orange it’s not bs
Man, this was great. I really miss the excitement of MNF. And Cosell.
I miss Municipal Stadium, what a great place.
I've never been there but I would've killed to see a Browns game in the original Dawg Pound.
@@mikewack6778 me and my late dad had season tickets in the pound in '86 and '87. Mark Jackson caught the Drive td right in front of us. Its was a glorious time in ne ohio during that time due to the Browns success. Glad I got to have those times with the old man
Wow 40 years...
Just a couple of months before I was born...
I remember this game. At one point in the second half, they show Drew Pearson of the Cowboys vomiting 2:41:05

Miss my Brian sipe! He was building a house out by us then he just left to California. That's ok - we have Baker now 😁
Hopefully Baker will do for you what he did for us here in Oklahoma
@@vwm8534 I agree. He has what we need. Just need a coach to bring it all together
Baker sucks
