The big one that always stuck out on paper to me was Jack Pardee winning over the Buccaneers coach that took them to NFCCG in 1979 just 2 years after they were the worst team in NFL history. And I don't think that Pardee Redskins team even went to the playoffs that year. It was before my time and I'...

I get attacked on Facebook football groups for this opinion but I'm not a fan of the double standard and bias towards Cleveland Browns players who's career's overlapped in the AAFC and only had 3-5 good years in the NFL getting in the Hall Of Fame compared to all the AFL legends who get snubbed beca...

In a perverse way, some of my favorite ones are those where they go to ridiculous lengths portray something positive about bad teams. The 1976 Bucs may have been the peak of “find positives” in this team’s year I'm so fascinated by all the Bucs ones for some reason, I'd say those are my favorite on...

Damn. That one and the 84 Colts one are on my to watch list now.

The Raiders ones feel self made and extra propaganda-ey, always different from the others from any particular season, extra ego. Ironically there is no Raider yearbook for 1984, AKA a year after winning the SB (which you think would SCREAM self made) Wow I did not know that. I seen one where it cla...

The 1993 Falcons preview of the 94 season June Jones saying he has what it takes to get the best out of Jeff George and get along with him, eek. His talk about choosing Jeff George over the 94 draft class of QB's got me thinking, could the Falcons have tried harder to go after Moon coming out of Hou...

The later 80's Cowboys episodes when they were going through the down Landry years are a fun watch. "If the NFL were Wrestlemania, Danny Noonan would be Hulk Hogan" coldest line ever delivered in history of NFL Films. Steve Sabol was cooking when he wrote that.

In a perverse way, some of my favorite ones are those where they go to ridiculous lengths portray something positive about bad teams. The 1977 Saints yearbook employs NFL Films' usual techniques for this (showing touchdowns from multiple angles, framing a late-season win as being far more dramatic ...

These are always so hit and miss but I still love watching them and collecting them. Proud to say I have a full 1992 set of every team's highlight film. Along with hundred of others from the old AFL days until 2009 Vikings. I hate that my favorite team the Houston Texans' ones are so hard to find. B...
