Mid 1990's NFL Theme Music was Phenomenal

The intros were so much better back then, the theme music was fantastic.
NBC Mid 90's NFL Theme
1998 Jets vs. Broncos AFC Championship
Madden and Summerall Opener 1998
1996 Lions vs Chiefs Turkey Day intro
Fox music is the same
NBC mid 90's NFL them was the GOAT

For one brief year in 1992 or 1993 NBC had good introduction music. From there on it became noticeably worse. I love the old CBS music from the '90s. That was perfect. What they go with now is terrible. Why change what was perfect? FOX'so music is so awesome there is no need to ruin it with something worse.

Uh, NFL Primetime, or go frick your mother.

First of all....NBA on NBC is the best theme music ever.

Once or twice in a blue moon I’ll throw the NFL Primetime soundtrack in YouTube. I find myself crushing excel spreadsheets with a fury when I do.

Respectfully, I disagree on the mid 90s NBC theme. It sounded like ballet music. The CBS and FOX clips from 1998 were great.
The '80s and early '90s were the high points for this stuff, especially on CBS. The combo of Pat Summerall's voice and the music on the opening tease of this 1987 Giants-Saints game is perfection.
1987 Giants-Saints on CBS
I also like these:
1992-93 NFL on CBS
1981-85 NFL on CBS (says '86, but '86 was the start of the "Pots and Pans" music that's playing in the Summerall intro link above)
1983-88 NFL on NBC
1983-88 NBC MLB Game of the Week
1981-87 NCAA basketball on CBS
1980s NCAA basketball on NBC
1980s NBA on CBS
And a personal favorite, NBC Sports mid-70s-to-1981 or so theme. They used this for MLB and NFL (more for game breaks on NFL by about 1978-81:
NBC Sports 1970s/early 80s)

Nailed it. CBS cranked out their awesome Pots and Pans NFL theme, NBA on CBS theme and of course the iconic college football theme around the same time in the mid-1980's.

Baseball Tonight - 1992
I used to stay up as a kid every night to watch this show, it was the best. People don't realize how good we had it back in the day when the ESPN was just Sports, and you knew a baseball show would be nothing but baseball highlights and informative breakdowns by people like Peter Gammons, Dave Campbell, Etc.
