Jim Brown Selected greatest of all time 75th anniversary t.v special
-
I am hoping someone in the Brown nation can help me out with a problem.
I am trying to find the football special that aired around the 75th Anniversary of the NFL. That would be 1994.
It was the 100 or 75 greatest NFL players of all time selected by there peers. Jim Brown was voted number 1 and they interviewed him at the end of the show.
This was the "original" list. NOT the one the NFL Network put out a few years ago saying Jerry Rice was number 1 and Jim Brown number 2.Anyway. I do not want anyones opinion on who you think the greatest is.
I would like to know
A)When did it air?
B)What was the list of players at the time?
C)Do you know where I can watch it again?
Youtube is full of clips of the NEW version done by the NFL Network, BUT I want the original special that aired on T.V. I think it was broadcast on CBS or NBC.
Hope someone can help me out. I tried google and every other method I can think of. -
Well I did find some info. The show was put out the same time the Sporting News book about the 100 greatest football players came out. I did find some info on Yahoo TV. They list it as a documentary but I can't see where you can watch it. Hosted by Phil Simms and Jim Nantz.
