Cheap NFL Matchup of the Millennium Game 2 - '70s Steelers vs. '90s Cowboys (Video) (Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys) Price

Creative film editing is used to settle a classic hypothetical question: which was the better team, the tough-as-nails Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s or the overwhelming Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s? By raiding the massive vaults of NFL Films, searching out dramatic footage of Steeler-Cowboys matchups, and then playing fast and loose with the editing machines, the various plays are cobbled together into one fantasy game. The fakery doesn't end with game footage, as the announcing team is augmented with clips of the late, great Howard Cosell. Classic showdowns involving Steeler greats Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, and Jack Lambert and Cowboy legends Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith can look nearly convincing, thanks to very fast edits. Of course, there are obvious continuity problems with splicing together game films shot at different games in two different decades, such as fans in some parts of the stadium wearing parkas while others lounge in T-shirts. But the entire production is generally handled with a genial tongue-in-cheek attitude, even if the relentless jokes at the expense of Cosell can begin to seem mean-spirited. To avoid spoiling the outcome, let's just say that the game between these two classic teams is a cliffhanger to the end, leaving ESPN announcers Joe Theismann and Mike Patrick plenty to get excited about. The outcome leaves the winner set to face off in the "Millennium Bowl" against the victor in another fantasy game, the clash between the Green Bay Packers of the 1960s and the San Francisco 49ers of the 1980s. --Robert J.
