I vaguely remember this show but I can't get nearly as enthusiastic as my blogging confrere. It was an okay quizzer for sports fans, I guess. But for everybody else the show held almost no interest. That's always been the problem for sports-themed game shows. They're a small niche within a small niche.
Still, it's fun to look through the clips on YouTube and see some of the jocks in their younger days. Frank Gifford was a pretty handsome guy once upon a time. And it's really weird to see Dick Enberg minus forty years. Anybody who's watched Padres games lately (as I sometimes do on the Extra Innings package) knows that Dick currently looks like a very senior citizen of the sports universe.
Wish I could peel forty years off my aged self. But there aren't any YouTube clips of me in my sprightlier days.
