DOG ASIDE:
The CBS Sports NFL Today crew of Brent Musburger, Irv Cross and Will McDonnough were top shelf in the industry at covering the NFL….so, anytime they put on a Pregame or Halftime Show….you could pretty much bet on a program well worth watching…..but when you and the game broadcast crew of Pat Summerall and John Madden….it makes a production telecast MUST SEE TV….which always brings a smile to this lil ole chiweenie Sportsphile’s face.
This 1988 NFC Championship game not only was a great football game between two storied franchises in the NFL….but it also had an extra portion of historic significance added to it….cuz Redskins QB Doug Williams had the opportunity to put himself in rarified air of being the 1st black quarterback in the NFL to go to and win a Super Bowl.
