During a stoppage in the action, ABC cameras panned to a secion of seats in the upper deck with only one guy in it. The camera panned in on this guy slumped down in his seat with his feel over the back of the seat in front of him. Once in close, the guy realized he was on camera and flipped the bird to the nation.

Dandy Don Meredith never missed a beat. He immediately said, "Yes sir, he wants us all to know that the Oilers are #1 in the nation."

If that isn't a highlight, then ignore the list!

SC, do you remember 1 monday night game with dandy don, [late 70's or early 80's] the game was stopped for a moment [don't remember why] so the camera crew were showing different people in the stands, and they locked in on a very hot blonde, and she kind of had one of those distant stare's, so they really focused in on her, the monday night crew started to comment on her when all of a sudden she starts picking her nose, and I mean she was really digging for gold, and they all started laughing, and Dandy Don say's "well she picked her chance" it was histerical, probably the funniest thing I can remember on monday night, the only thing that came close was Cosell and Garrett.

After moving to Tx when I was in the 5th grade I really looked forward to MNf and seeing cosell do the highlights at halftime,that was the only time I got to see any highlights of my skins,no sportscenter then.I loved Cosell and i think he got a bad rap for the monkey thing,he said the same thing about a white rb in a game before the skins game,it was just a term he used.Also,wasnt that on MNF when somebody was kicking a fg or extra point and a guy jumped out of the stands about 30 feet up and caught the ball,that was great,the guy made David Letterman.
