Your favorite classic \"NFL Films\" quote
Inspired by the "matriculate the ball down the field" discussion in the "dumb announcers" thread.
Here's a few to get you started: "They're killing me, Whitey! They're killing me!" JERRY GLANVILLE: This is the N-F-L, which stands for "Not for Long" when you make calls like that. BUM PHILLIPS: That's three holding calls on one team, in one half. (long pause) It ain't funny. SAM RUTTIGLIANO: Come on baby, one time! One time, baby! One time. One time. ONE TIME! VINCE LOMBARDI: Everybody's grabbing out there, nobody's tackling! MARV LEVY: (smiling, pre-game) I went to college with that official. (later, mid-game) Hey Douglass! Hey, you over-officious jerk! And my favorite: MARV LEVY: What we need to run, and it's going to sound crazy, is an eight-eighty-eight (simulates a post route with his hands in the air on every "eight"). Just throw the ball deep down the (bleeping) middle, and hope to get a flag. (It's my favorite, because the 2006-2007 Chicago Bears adopted the "888, just throw the ball deep down the (bleeping) middle, and hope to get a flag" as their bread-and-butter play, and it somehow got them to a Super Bowl. Like poor Marv, they couldn't win a Super Bowl, either.) |

Re: Your favorite classic \"NFL Films\" quote
HANK STRAM: Hey, Mr Official, let me ask you something: how can six of you miss a call like that? There's six of you...
(referee says something the mic doesn't pick up) HANK STRAM: (emphatically) No! (immediately confused) What? |

(immediately confused) What? [/ QUOTE ] I believe the ref says something along the lines of: "we were talking about you being on the field" -- then, he walks off, and Hank delivers his line. That's my favorite NFL Films moment. |

[/ QUOTE ] it was Stram asking the officials how they could miss that foul, and the ref coming back to him with "you mean you being on the field?" Stram's reaction to that is classic |

Re: Your favorite classic \"NFL Films\" quote
What the hell is the quote from the coach, maybe from the Redskins, that he was using in some pre-game fire-up talk that they always played in the opening of the NFL Game of the Week or highlight show or whatever with Summeral?
My mind is drawing a blank. I'm only good at this stuff around SB time when they show about 8-zillion reruns of this stuff on ESPN, 2, and classic. |

Re: Your favorite classic \"NFL Films\" quote
Glanville to ref (playing against Cowboys): "Where are you from?" "Dallas". "Dallas? Is Jimmy Johnson your neighbor?"
Levy to Bruce Smith: "Don't yell at the ref; I've learned not to do that". Later in game: "Oh WTF" Pre-game coach's gretting at midfield - George Seifert: "Oh hey Norv"...10 seconds of awkward silence. Seifert didn't talk much. McKay of those awful Bucs team had some classic lines - I forget them. Funny that Kotite was even bad at yelling at the refs. "He just killed the Quarterback" - Lol he sounded like such a girl. |

[ QUOTE ] McKay of those awful Bucs team had some classic lines - I forget them. [/ QUOTE ] I remember McKay getting frustrated during a preseason game, because while he paced up and down the sidelines, he kept bumping into players, and he couldn't find anyone to get the players to stay back away from the sideline and out of his way. They got at least five minutes of footage of McKay snarling, "...if they don't get back, I'll cut 'em, baby! I'll ship their ass off to Green Bay!", which was the 1970's equivalent of being banished to Siberia. |
