When Steelers safety Mike Wagner said “Hi, Mom!” during a certain loss to the Raiders

Last summer, right after I discovered the wonders of streaming television, I started watching really old Steelers games on YouTube.

You know how they always say life was so much better back in the “old days,” a simpler time when stuff—for example, football--was superior to how things are now? No offense to the “old days,” but football games from the 1970s just seemed so much more intriguing and mythical when I grew up watching edited highlights of them courtesy of NFL Films, a stark contrast to the taped broadcasts used by networks (in fairness, I believe it’s impossible to actually broadcast anything on film live—although, I ain’t no CMU major).
