Dan Marino Authentic 1979 Central Catholic High School Navy Throwback Jersey

"Start from the beginning of Dan Marino's incredible Hall of Fame Football career when you purchase his popular authentic Catholic Central H.S. throwback jersey! Already an exceptional athlete as a young teen, Dan Marino starred as quarterback for the Vikings of Pittsburgh's Central Catholic High School. By his senior year in 1979, he was selected to the Parade High School All America team, recruited to play football by numerous major universities, and was also drafted to play baseball for the Kansas City Royals. Ultimately he chose to stay near home and attend the University of Pittsburgh. For the Pittsburgh Panthers, Dan laid a precursor for his NFL achievements by setting NCAA season and career records for attempts and completions, yardage, and touchdowns. He earned All-American honors his junior year, and after his senior season in 1982, Dan's jersey number was retired by the university. The rest is history as Dan was drafted by the Dolphins in 1983, became the first rookie quarterback ever to start in the Pro Bowl, and amassed NFL records for passing yards (61,361), attempts (8,358), completions (4967), and touchdowns (420) en route to becoming one of if not the greatest and most accomplished quarterbacks ever to play the game. Dan capped off his legacy in February of 2005 when he was named a first ballot inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 100% nylon construction with tackle twill sewn name and number."

"This was known as ""The Chicken Soup Game"" in its Original Network Broadcast. Joe Montana led his team back in sub zero temperatures to beat Houston. Montana fights hypothermia at halftime and, after sitting out the first two offensive series of the second half, enters the game with 4:40 remaining in the third quarter. Houston holds a commanding 34-12 lead with 7:37 remaining in the fourth quarter and felt so assured of a victory, they substitute their backups into the game. Then the impossible happens. Many consider the greatest Cotton Bowl, and one of the best college football games, ever played. This is a professional version of the original broadcast, commercial free. Running time is 2 hours 42 minutes. You'll see these legendary players: Joe Montana, Bob Golic, Vagas Ferguson and watch coaches Bill Yeoman and Dan Devine battle it out.

1979 Rose Bowl: USC vs Michigan DVD

"Catch all the action as the Trojans march their way past Michigan to another national title in the 1979 Rose Bowl! Star running back Charles White helped lead Southern Cal to victory. By the finish, White had accrued 99 yards and a controversial touchdown. In the second quarter, USC had the ball on the Wolverines' three yard line. White plunged into the endzone for a touchdown. Or did he? Replays would later show he didn't have the ball which had ended up in the hands of a Michigan defender. White and Michigan quarterback Rick Leach shared player of the game honors, as Leach was almost able the lead the Big Blue back with a 44 yard touchdown strike to Roosevelt Smith in the third quarter. In the end, however, the '79 Rose Bowl proved to be a predominantly defensive battle between two of college football's most storied institutions. Experience the thrill of college football along with 105,629 screaming fans as USC takes on Michigan (and an earthquake) in the 1979 Rose Bowl! Officially Licensed by the NCAA "
