John Tesh's other fantastic NBC Sports theme: "Gridiron Dreams"

A few weeks ago, I wrote about John Tesh's "Roundball Rock" and how I was ready to move on from it. Don't get me wrong, I love the iconic NBA on NBC theme, but I wanted to show some love to the fab NBA Game of the Week theme ABC used in the Seventies.

Well, to show there are no hard feelings, I want to tout a Tesh composition that doesn't get the same kind of love: His dynamic song for the NBC's NFL coverage. Here's a nice clean copy of "Gridiron Dreams." This is electric!




And, yes, I chose that upload because of the shot of Tesh with the shades and backwards cap.

Here's a sample of it as aired on NBC: The opening to the 1989 AFC Championship:



Enberg, Tesh, NBC--I love it! The description of Browns QB Bernie Kosar as unconventional, even sometimes awkward, is great.
