Packers Fans Will Always Have the Memories

Here is a truly classic video of Brett Favre's memorable debut in 1992 leading the Packers to a come from behind victory over Cincinnati. This footage is absolutely priceless. It's so intriguing and unbelievable that it should be on display in the Museum of Television and Radio. The video comes from the post game broadcast of NBC's old NFL Live telecast. In Studio we have Bob Costas flanked by guest host Buddy Ryan and the immortal O.J. Simpson! Does it get any better than that? Imagine if ole Buddy tried to sucker punch The Juice. Television viewers would have witnessed a live murder right on the set. If that isn't enough, the in-game announce team in Green Bay that day are none other than Jim Lampley and Ahmad Rashad. What a line-up. I'll take that starting five any day of the week.

The Lights Stay On

"Friday Night Lights" will return for a third season. NBC has struck a deal with DirectTV that calls for 13 new episodes that will begin airing in October exclusively on DirectTV. The deal between NBC and the satellite television provider allows for DirectTV to contribute to the "Friday Night Lights" production costs in exchange for the rights to air the show first. After the season airs on DirectTV, Friday Night Lights will return to NBC in January 2009. Kudos to NBC for thinking outside the box and keeping alive the critically acclaimed program. Far too often, quality programs with a loyal yet small fan base fall by the wayside. Let's hope that in the case of "Friday Night Lights" a new precedent has been set.
