 DVD Verdict Review - NFL Greatest Follies: Complete Collection
Football Follies proved so popular that a "sequel" was made in 1976.
Talkin' Follies is mainly little "skits" where voiceover artists provide the "real" dialogue for otherwise silent clips of players talking to coaches, coaches talking to officials, and so forth.
The sixth and final Follies feature included, made in 2000, is the slickest and most professional of the bunch.

 Guardian Unlimited Sport | Columnists | Football: Eriksson's follies are a hit but they're still a sideshow
Eriksson's flings with a television weather woman and a secretary at the Football Association were infinitely more entertaining than his press conferences.
But they reflected upon his job only to the extent that critics wished he could have brought similar passion to his handling of the team in the last World Cup, not least when England were on their way out to a 10-man Brazil in the quarter-finals.
After all Villa are surely the England of the Premier League: consistent underachievers with their one international triumph, the European Cup in 1982, a dusty memory.

Released in 1978, NFL Football Follies became the biggest selling and most widely distributed sports video in history.

As we made our way toward the complex, I was convinced that I saw where the football game was being held… there was a decently-sized group of people watching some event.
The football game ended up being in the area of least spectators on a half-sized field that was in tough shape; afterall, American football doesn’t get big publicity here.
It was so fun to watch the way in which the teams played, some of the norms they had altered, and to see their interaction with eachother and their fans (friends or family).

Over the course of a few seasons, you won't be able to assume the role of armchair coach or general manager armed with a chance to guide their team from worst to first and maybe even create a winning dynasty.
Many a football nut buy these games just for the chance to slowly create a dream squad and tinker with it until they can move from the owning space in the cellar to possessing Mr.
Of course, even if you don't have the most glam graphics in the world, a football game should be able to get by if it has excellent gameplay to keep folks playing well past the Super Bowl.

Football follies: I read with interest ESPN The Magazine's story on former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett.
Clarett alleges he took money and cars from boosters and had tutors ensure he remained eligible for football, which really is understating it.
The story itself really does not surprise me. At many big-time schools, especially one that is successful like OSU (they won the National Championship during Clarett's freshman and only season there), there certainly are going to be temptations like these.

 Tangerine Bowl Perceptions Vary :: NC State meets Kansas Monday at 5:30.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Kansas, a school known for football follies and basketball excellence, surprised many of the preseason prognosticators in the tough Big 12 Conference by gaining bowl eligibility with a 6-6 mark.
Given the long futile history of Kansas football, Mangino has also worked a minor miracle this year by becoming the first KU coach since 1975 to lead his team to a bowl game in just his second year.
There was no such satisfaction for NC State, which must now ignore the common perceptions associated with this game because the reality is that Kansas has been a pretty good football team, especially when Whittemore has been on the field.
