It never got better than Curt Gowdy and Al Derogatis calling the AFL on NBC. The Mad Bomber was one of the true greats. May his celestial light shine upon them all.

I was at the Immaculate reception game. Ken Stabler came into replace him in the game. Lamonica had two very good revivers in the late 60’s/early 70’s-Fred Biletnikoff and Warren Wells who he threw long passes to.

Man, I loved listening to Curt and Al on Sunday afternoons. The AFL was so fun to watch back then. Great memories!

Gowdy and Paul Christman were a better pair, so were Ray Scott and Christman. Dero was better than 98% of the talking baboons they trot out, but nobody was better than Paul Christman
