what's your favorite? what gets you pumped for a game the moment you hear it? old school? new school?

i have lots. one of my all time favorites was the nfl today back in the 80's:

...watching that just brings back memories of my mom taking us to church and me itching to get out of there in time to hear brent musberger go "you are looking LIVE at veterans stadium..."

Reminds me of an oldschool Final Fantasy battle song.

Hockey Night In Canada has a very memorable intro.

The NFL on Fox song is good

It always makes me think of football. Not as much as the old NFL Films music, but the Fox theme is the best modern day equivalent.

yeah fox is okay. i think it pales in comparison to the old cbs music though...

So many awesome things about that Giants Redskins intro.

The music. Blows away any other intro music.
Pat Summerall
Tixx at RFK Stadium "impossible to get".
Football was so much better in the 80s.

cbs with summerall had a way of making it feel like every game back then was some kind of epic event.

remember when fox had a baseball theme song? they don't now for some ungodly reason. they just use the football music. no idea why they switched...

i always liked cbs' baseball music as a kid. this reminds me of the '93 phils:

it had that nostalgic feel to it.

This is the best. Always brings me back to the glory days of MJ and the Bulls. I loved when NBC would have double or tripleheaders on Sunday afternoons...
