This video from 1992 is just odd on so many levels:

First, there's seeing O.J. Simpson as a studio analyst. Then there's Bob Costas telling the viewers at home that Brett Favre is a "second-year man from Southern Mississippi," and explaining the correct pronunciation of his last name, because viewers wouldn't have known who he was.

There's also the fact that Jim Lampley is the play-by-play man during the game, the fact that Favre has a much thicker Southern accent than he does now, and the fact that the TV analysts are talking about the Packers losing Don Majkowski and having to replace him with Favre like it's a going to be bad news in Green Bay.

But my favorite part is when Simpson starts talking about how he played against Mike Holmgren in high school. Who knew?
