The (Somewhere Short of) Great '80s

If you ever take for granted how lucky we are to be fans of the Red Sox and Patriots in this decade, I ask you to watch the following retrospective on the '80s from Bob Lobel and the sports crew at channel 4.

A few things stand out:

• We were so proud of the Red Sox, Patriots and Bruins for just getting close. That's not good enough any more.
• Both the Pats and Bruins had nicer uniforms then than now.
• Bob Lobel had his own hair (and color).
• "...Esasky's gone, we'll never win!" as though the only thing standing between the Red Sox and a World Championship was the loss of Nick Esasky!
• I can't imagine how depressing a '90s "highlight" video would be.
