On top of that, a day before the game the Rams suggested moving the goal posts back to the end line. But the Redskins said it would be too much trouble, and besides, how could the goal posts have any effect on the game?
Wow, Bob.
I didn't know that.

One "doink" different and it's a whole other outcome...

You dog.
I am SO gullible...

No wonder I'd never heard that before...

Now I'm trashing your trivia book because I don't know if I can trust the answers.

Well, there might be a wrong answer in there somewhere, but if so, it's not intentional.

I guess I needed to use one of those faces. Now that I think of that, I see they're right off to the side here. Let's see ...

:D

How's that?

I am still quite gullible.

There used to be a B/W video of the play on YouTube but it's apparently taken down. Here's a link to a 17-minute video of the game which might have it - I haven't watched it yet.

Really excited to see that there are color videos of this game. Hadn't seen anything in color before - only B/W.

Yes, the pass that hits the post is there, and it's shown twice -- actually three times, but the third is a black-and-white shot from a different angle, and the intended receiver (Wayne Millner, I think) is lost in shadows. The pass hits the crossbar, which is interesting because I had always thought it hit one of the uprights.

For now I've only watched to that point, but so far I believe the film has included every play. Given the fact that it's 17 minutes long, there's a good chance that it covers every play of the whole game.

But the fist fights among fans? Fires in the stands? The half time locker room flood?
