Thumbs up on the hair, Al Michaels, and I loved you as Larry on Three's Company. Also good to see O.J. Simpson in his element, talking incoherently about football, no doubt offering inspiration to future utterly useless sideline reporters like Eric Dickerson and Lisa Guerrero.
At halftime of Super Bowl XIX, and with the 49ers leading the Dolphins 28-16, the Juiced offered this nugget: "The 49ers are notorious for becoming somewhere LETH-AR-GIC after they've built up an early lead." Predictably, San Francisco would outscore Miami 10-0 over the final 30 minutes.
Other random notes, via the Wikipedias:
- This game was the first time television commercials ran for a million dollars a minute;
- Ronald Reagan did the pregame coin toss ... from the White House via satellite;
- The halftime show: "World of Children's Dreams" with the USAF Tops In Blue.
I'm guessing there were no wardrobe malfunctions.
