Good find here I thought -- an archive of announcing teams dating back to the 1940s. From the people who bring us the weekly broadcast maps.

This is a great resource--thanks for posting.

It's weird seeing that the 1950 Rams-Bears playoff and the first Pro Bowl were not televised, but it would be another year before the coaxial cable linking both halves of the country would be completed.

Fun to see the old names. I remember listening to Bob Kelly, who called Rams games.

This is good research!

I've been using it since it was posted at the old forums many many years ago. Pretty sure it used to be listed in the Members Only section here, too?
