I just can't stop watching those highlight videos with Gil's epic calls. That one against the Ravens in the 2011 AFC Championship was pure epic-ness.

There are fans who will denigrate Gino and Gil, but in the 80's and 90's when this team was blacked out more than it was not, they were a lifeline..

I used to work on every sunday and had my headphones around my neck so I could get most of the game or the highlights.. those guys were good. Not flashy, just good solic broadcasts that came alive in those times of less technology.

Thanks for the link -- about to give it a listen.

Here's to one more "pulse-pounding finish."

I never bump threads, but I am breaking my personal rule today.

This audio IS the history of the New England Patriots. It is 120 minutes of goosebumps.

This is great stuff!!!!

Tanguay: Gil is Hannah the best player you ever saw?

Gil: Until Tom Brady yes.

I am telling you gold Jerry Gold!

Halftime of the epic comeback over the Vikings Parcells only said this You guys are on your own and did not write a single thing on the chalk board and did not offer any adjustments instead putting entirely on the players.

I didn't even make it 30 seconds into the program before goosebumps set in!

"He rifles it through the uprights, and the teams head back up field"

Thanks very much Gil and Gino, both did a wonderful job.

Interesting hearing Gil talk about Troy Brown not being active for the Super Bowl with the Packers (injury?) and wondering if he would have made a difference on the Desmond Howard KO RT touchdown.
