it was about 15 =20 years ago....all you heard was the sounds of the game and the stadium announcer.i think with some of the broadcasters we have now they should do it more often.

yes mojo, i remember it, it was something like 1981, jets vs miami... it was interesting, just the game, sounds of the crowd, no one talking... i guess people didnt take to it, so they didnt experiment with it anymore and gave up on the idea...

it is weird, even though we dont need announcers, we like to have them, to hear their reaction to plays i guess, see if they feel the same way as we do about a given play, etc...

i didn't know that ever happened but that is a good idea the people that watch football understand what is going on we don't need dick stockton telling us that the colts need to score on this drive

Yep, tis true. I forgot which game it was, but it received the highest ratings ever.

I do remember that game.

And it didn't have very good ratings. If it had had "the highest ratings ever," they'd have kept doing it.

I remember that. I think someone typed in what was going on. It you put the mute on, you'll get the same results now

Yes, it was back in the 80's and it was great. They should do it more often.

i think it was a Dolphins/Jets game. It was weird. Graphics would just pop up. What was really funny was not hearing anyone really for a half then going to the studio for halftime. That was strange. But why announcers feel as though they must fill all available air time with their nonsense is beyond me. Most games i watch i just turn the sound down and listen to the radio call instead.
