Give it all you got take your very best shot, and may the best team win, the time is now, the name of the game is action......

The ski jumper was Vinko Bogataj
I could have done without the disco.
I agree. There were something like three versions? The first, from the 60’s, opening the show with lyrics and closing it without, was always the best. Tough to find. I’ve yet to find a clean recording of the original. It’s almost like a lost piece of music.
Yes and there are so many great tunes from NFL Game of the week in the 60s and 70s...literally dozens.
And this one right here......was probably my favorite. So beautiful yet powerful as they would show the plays in slow motion.
John Scott, Today’s Achievements. Super Bowl VI
Just delicious:

I really like the parade/fanfare music John Williams wrote for the pod race in _The Phantom Menace._
I remember that one.
Yes....ABC opening for Golf in the 70s. Showing the beautiful course of the week....I remember Pebble Beach and this beautiul song......those were the days.
Can you remember the CBS Golf intro? It was also so nice. The theme from the charles bronson tv series.
there is a youtube comment...”CBS Sports presents Golf!”
This was a great sports Golf theme CBS used..so pretty and elegant:

My favorite sports theme music is the Olympic song. John Williams deserves credit for merging the prior composition Bugler’s Dream into what us Americans expect for the Olympic fanfare music. I believe for a few decades he composed different versions of it.
And the Agony of defeat....
Oh that’s a great one. I remember it so well. Especially the opening of the games during the 1987 NBA Finals. Brett Musberger and the Celtics Lakers. My heart broke when Magic hit that mini sky hook...but the intro to that game and this song........great stuff.
Game 4 intro.....even the writing was good:

I think I liked this one: ESPN Monday Night Football.

And this one: NFL ON FOX.

That’s a good one.
The days that I actually enjoyed watching the NBA until it became low life.
Back when I was at UF, they had The Norm Sloan show and they used Jean-Luc Ponty’s “Infinite Pursuit”

The 3-Point shot ruined basketball.
Good one.
Marvin Gay’s National Anthem wins it for me..
Best sports song, is “You’ll Never Walk Alone” at Anfield.
Olympic Fanfare - good stuff.
