Random Classic: Lesley Visser screwing up on air during1991 Playoff game

Just 2 years removed from a 1-15 season, Jimmy Johnson had led the young Cowboys back to the playoffs and beat the Bears on the road 17-13. While finding this game and looking over it briefly, I noticed a little gem of Lesley Visser screwing up during a halftime report. Just a small mishap for her in a time before the internet where it could be brushed away from memory quickly....well except if someone recorded the game and uploaded it 20 years later.
This day and age a slight screw up like this will get a lot of attention from blogs and twitter, and the poor reporter will feel embarrassed. Is it right? Nope.But they're all still pretty funny to watch, cause we all love the occasional awkward moment on air.
Lesley is an award winning reporter so messing up on air usually wasn't the norm obviously. But I have noticed a lot of Broadcasters got away with a lot of errors week after week during the innocence of pre Internet times. And I gotta tell ya, it was pretty loveable, and I miss it.

Other stuff I like from the video...
-Madden was so great at this time,his analyses on the guys on the boat is so madden.
-Ditka looking all DITKA like.
-LIKE A RRROCCCKKKKK!
-Oh come on Gardocki!Wheres Kevin Butler?

Random Classics: '92 Albertville FigureSkating/Commercials

20 years have flown by since the Albertville Winter Olympics.Here's some random stuff I found to remember it.
Including:Surya Bonalys backflip



You have to admit that's pretty cool. No one else at the Olympics was doing stuff like that.People like Surya is a favorite of SoulGloSportsCage,because while she wasn't a champion, she did enough to stand out and be different in a random way.



The Video below drew my attention for the following reasons:
-Kareem doing a Apple Computer spot for their new PowerBook laptop computers...
-A typical overly sanged power anthem in a Snickers Olympic Skiing commercial...
-Boy did CBS have crappy PrimeTime shows...I don't even remember 'Scorch' but holy Alf ripoff Batman....
-Apperently George Michael was all the rage at the 1992 Grammy Awards...
-yes, I'm a big Charlie Chaplin fan, but come on now....



As for the video below,it involves how Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan were 2 years before the craziness, a 60 minutes commercial featuring Saddam Hussein,and Murphy Brown.

Random Classics: When Larry Bird Posterized Caldwell Jones

Yes, Larry Bird actually dunked at times, but none were as emphatic to me as this masterpiece in 1982 vs the 76ers.

Here's a highlight video of other Larry Bird dunks.Believe it or not there was enough to make a 21 second video.......

Random Commercials : '98 ESPN The Mag with Randy Moss and Cris Carter

Once upon a time veteran Cris Carter mentoring a young and reckless Randy Moss was considered a feel good story. Of course looking back now it probably wasn't as it seemed, but ESPN milked it for all it's worth at the time.
Also of note in the video, Kenny Mayne being...well Kenny Mayne.

Random Commercials: Local Miami Station 1992

of note.. a commercial for the upcoming BIG EAST Basketball tournament , a commercial for the Miami HEAT , and a cheesy ad for the movie Gladiator...no not that one,it's the flop with Cuba Gooding Jr.
