Product: Greatest Moments in Super Bowl History [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 3.0
Should Have Been Greater
When I bought this DVD, I was hoping for something to tide me over until football season starts up again, since football is the only sport I follow faithfully. Like other reviewers, I was most disappointed to see that the disc runs only one hour, which is insufficient time to talk about the first 5 Super Bowls, much less 34. Still, all aspects of the game are covered: Dominant Defenses, the Runners, the Defenders, the Quarterbacks, etc., but to cover any aspect of each of the 34 games in an hour-long format means that the highlights are going to zip by quickly, and they do. Many great features are included: interviews with players and coaches (some of which seem to be fairly recent), different camera angles, and game/player stats. The frustrating part of the disc is that it's over too quickly and really only serves as a teaser for what it doesn't show: the games themselves. How great it would be for the NFL to release each complete game on DVD including interviews, pre-game, post-game, half-time. THAT would be worth something! Until then...it's a long time until Opening Day...
