Featured Highlight - Game Balls: Week 17, 1999
The segment known as Game Balls, or officially "Primetime Players," began on NFL Primetime in 1994. Well, to be technically accurate, there was a "Primetime Players" segment during the 1992 & 1993 seasons, but that one featured highlight clips with radio calls rather than players of the week. Anyway, three songs were primarily used for Game Balls during the original run of the show (some other songs, such as Old School Radio Bed, were infrequently substituted). Unknown Song #26 was used from 1994-97 after being used as a highlight track in 1992. Asphyxia was used for the last five seasons of classic Primetime (2001-05). And now, the one remaining Game Balls theme has been located. "Rock Me Pope," by Ruben Ayala, was used for Game Balls from 1998-2000. Ayala wrote songs for Access Music & FirstCom, but I couldn't find any other meaningful info about him.
Special thanks to Dopethrone (nirvanainstrumental on YouTube) for finding this one.
