Description:
At long last, all the barroom discussions about which NFL team was the greatest ever finally get settled. Well, sort of. This three-tape video collection fabricates a tournament in which four teams who dominated their era can compete, thanks to a Zelig-meets-the-NFL approach achieved by forays into the vaults of NFL Films and some snazzy and sneaky editing. The Green Bay Packers of the 1960s, coached by Vince Lombardi and quarterbacked by Bart Starr, meet Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and the San Francisco 49ers of the 1980s. In the other preliminary game, the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s, the bruisers characterized by Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, and the fearsome "Steel Curtain" defense, take on the flashy Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s, a team characterized by Troy Aikman and Deion Sanders. The final blowout between the victors is presented with a wacky sense of humor that perfectly parodies Super Bowl hype, and the outcome is eventually decided by a final play that is literally the stuff of legends. Throughout the videos there are patches of comic relief, much of it provided by an announcing team that includes ESPN's Joe Theismann and Mike Patrick and also features off-the-wall utterances of the late Howard Cosell. These fantasy games won't settle any serious arguments, but they're fun to watch and are a definite treat for those who relish NFL trivia. --Robert J. McNamara
