Featured Clip - Steve Young Talks about Rex Grossman's Mistakes, Super Bowl XLI

The final unknown track from the Super Bowl XLI episode of NFL Primetime, "Unknown Song #62" accompanied Steve Young's roasting of Chicago QB Rex Grossman's "flippant" turnovers in his team's loss to the Indianapolis Colts.  The song isn't as clear to hear as US #60 or US #61, but you can tell it has a bit of a bass-heavy blues rock motif going on.  If you can identify this piece, don't hesitate to comment here or on YouTube.

Unknown Song #61, which is from a little bit later in the Super Bowl XLI Primetime episode than Unknown Song #60, is also clear and easy to recognize (please comment if you can ID it).  It was used for the Inside the Numbers segment that highlighted Colts running back Joseph Addai's rookie exploits.  Fun fact!: because Addai backed up Dominic Rhodes throughout the 2006 season, he became the first running back to ever rush for 1000 yards without starting a single game.  Thanks Wikipedia!

It's back to the Purgatory Primetime era (2006-18) for another unknown non-highlight track!  Unknown Song #60 has a simple & memorable repetitive hard-rock hook, so it should theoretically be easy to identify.  It was used for the Super Bowl XLI episode of NFL Primetime where Chris Berman, Tom Jackson, and Steve Young highlighted Peyton Manning's first Super Bowl win.  Also added as a bonus to the end of the video is the following return-from-commercial bump where US #60 is briefly used again.  As usual: if you can identify this song, don't hesitate to comment here or on YouTube.  Thanks!

In getting ready to make a post for this week, I wanted to find a early NFL Primetime clip with decent audio quality that also featured the two teams playing in Super Bowl LX.  Lo & behold, I found one!  This clip is actually long enough to contain two different songs, both (probably) William Soden specials that ended up on those infamously elusive Musikos CDs (LINK1, LINK2, LINK3).  It's quite nice that this Seattle vs. New England highlight uses these two tracks in particular because the quality of the original clips (Grand Prix, At the Buzzer) I posted of those songs weren't too good.

 

The real Super Bowl LX will likely have a bit more offense than this 1988 matchup.  In this one, the Seahawks visited Foxboro Stadium and lost to Doug Flutie and the Patriots 13-7.  Seattle only had 2 first downs the entire game.  Ironically, the Seahawks would then score 40+ in their final two contests and win the AFC West (their last playoff appearance until 1999) while the Patriots—who also finished 9-7 (their last winning season of the Pat Patriot era)—would miss the playoffs.
