5.0 out of 5 stars Oakland, Baltimore, (and even you Indianapolis fans) will like this, July 25, 2006

A Kid's Review

I am in no way a Raiders fan (go Ravens!), but this is an excellent DVD! Disc number one has a nice history covering the first forty some years of Raiders football. The features are worth a look too (with many classic games [Heidi, Holly Roller, Immaculate Reception, "Sea of Hands"]). My favorite disc is disc number two. It contains a wonderfully put together sixty some minute long feature on the 1977 AFC Divisional playoff between the Oakland Raiders and the Baltimore Colts. This double-OT classic (which is mostly overlooked) took place on December 24, 1977 in Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. A surprising amount of attention is cast on the Colts rather than the Raiders! I say this because the Raiders ended up winning on a seventy-sixth minute TD pass to Dave Casper (hence the Ghost to the Post). NFL Films, like always, did a fantastic job with this piece considering that they had to find a complete game WCBM radio broadcast (WHICH IS NOT EASY TO DO!) and sync it with game footage. Chuck Thompson and Vince Bagli call a wonderfull game coupled with present day interviews of the players and coaches who were a part of it. This very classy representation of the mostly ignored BALTIMORE COLTS does the game some well deserved justice. Maybe some of you Indianapolis fans will be able to see the genesis of your CHOKING ways in the playoffs.

If you guessed that I'm from Baltimore... (ringy dingy dingy!)

NFL Films is amazing. Ed Sabol is the ultimate pioneer. This is the ultimate buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love 'em or hate them, September 18, 2004

By	B. Mraz "Raiderbern" (Northern CA.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a Raider Fan's "Must Have" DVD! From the history to the memorable moments, it's all here. For the younger Raider Fans, this also shows the history of the Raiders and you'll see why Raider Fans are notorious for being the most loyal. As a 30+ year fan, it brought back many memories for me and to have it on DVD and not wait for it on ESPN Classics or NFL Network is a real treat. I definitely loved the "Old School" Raiders where crying was not allowed the rules allowed football to be played the way is was meant to be...."Man to Man".

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must-Have" for any Raider fan out there, September 16, 2004

By	Yankee4Life (New York) - See all my reviews

This is two DVD's packed full of Raider highlights starting from the first year in the American Football League up to their last Super Bowl appearance two seasons ago. Special features include pieces on John Madden, Lyle Alzado and George Blanda. Disc 2 has the 1997 playoff game against the Baltimore Colts in Baltimore along with features with rivals like Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Denver. This DVD you will never get tired of watching.
