NFL broadcasts were certainly a lot quieter back then.

Wow.. Boy does that take me back. Tarkenton, Yankee Stadium, Jack Whitaker announcing... I loved those days watching the Giants with my dad, lousy as they were. Thanks.

Thanks for posting that, I love watching that kind of stuff. And you're right, the broadcast was a lot quieter back then - the crowd wasn't very loud at all. You could hear Tarkenton barking out the signals pretty clearly at one point.

Bob Sheppard sounds the same.
