"Football? you bet!" How many of us remember the San Pedro Beach Bums? It was on ABC for barely two months around 1978. It was about 6 friends living on San Pedro Beach. The show got cancelled pretty quick, but the most popular episode was called the Shortest Yard, and guest starred Frank Gifford. In the promo commercial for the episode ABC kept playing a clip of one of the cast, saying "Football? you bet" with a really bad accent.Comment

It wasn't a football themed episode, but there was an episode of Happy Days where they were watching a game between the Packers and Bears on TV. The reference was that George Blanda, a Bears QB in the 50's, was too old at 31 and should retire. The joke was there because Blanda was still playing at age 48 when the episode was filmed.Comment

Not really football themed but there's that well known Brady Bunch episode where Marcia interrupts the boys when theyre playing football and gets hit in the nose with a football. Then later Nicholas Hammond breaks off their date.
Also discovered recently that Lisa Eilbacher is in the episode too, she later went on to co-star in the Spiderman pilot.Comment

Oh yeah, the Columbo one was excellent.
I think MASH had another one where they tranquilized a player.
Maybe Mork and Mindy had something.Comment
