    Always nice to see a Harry Reasoner piece ...
    odd to see Andy Rooney in cameo ...
    and the football piece was a laugh, illustrated at the intro by a picture of the then-American Football League New York Jets ... a league then broadcast by NBC ... as CBS broadcast the NFL ...
    and it was the season the Jets won their league championship and their only Super Bowl [III]!
