John Smith, no doubt fueled by his Weetabix, jogged onto the well-trod turf in Miami's Orange Bowl with the score 13-13 and just three seconds left in the game on Dec. 8, 1980, to attempt a field goal from the 18-yard line. Smith was – at the time – a rarity in the NFL - a soccer-style, left-footed kicker who for some strange reason approached the ball from an angle before attempting to boot it through the uprights.

Back in the day, “Monday Night Football” was appointment television. Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell and – at for a few years – Don Meredith. (Fran Tarkenton was in the booth with Coselll in Gifford that night in 1980). When Cosell, Gifford and Meredith were calling the action, Monday Night Football was as good as we remember and your parents tell you it was. As parochial as Boston sports fans are – even for those us who live in places like Florida the pro sports world ends at the intersection of I-495 and I-95 in Foxborough – "Monday Night Football" was worth watching no matter what teams were playing.
