75 SEASONS THE STORY OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
aired 9/13/94 [1994-09-13]
The history of the league is traced, from its first year in 1920 (recalled by 95-year-old Canton Bulldog Arda Bowser) to the Dallas Cowboys' second-straight Super Bowl victory last January. On-field highlights include many of the game's greatest plays and record-breaking performances. Off-field clips include ads (Joe Namath in pantyhose, Mean Joe Green's "Hey Kid") and entertainment (the Rams' Fearsome Foursome singing on TV's "Shindig"). Produced by NFL Films and TNT. (2 hrs.)

IDOLS OF THE GAME: Inventing the All-American
aired 11/27/95 [1995-11-27]
Series Debut: Jim Thorpe, Babe Ruth, Ali. Clips and interviews enhance a three-part study of America's love-hate relationship with its sports heroes. This revealing program chronicles the on-field achievements—and off-the-field conflicts—that shaped the legends of standouts during the last century. Dabney Coleman assumes the guise of a sportswriter named Scribe who begins each offering with "Let me tell you some stories..." Tonight's segment, "Inventing the All-American," recalls Jim Thorpe, Babe Ruth and Muhammad Ali.
