More On (Maybe Video) Dempsey’s Field Goal/Al Wester’s Call
I am not trying to mess with the NFL, especially in one of the rare times they are right and I am wrong.
Now neither legally or morally am I wrong to try and show not only, in this case Tom Dempsey’s great kick, but more relevant and meaningful to me, Al Wester’s great call.
Before I try to “link,” Errol Mann hit a short field goal to give Detroit (Lions) a (17-16) lead with just 11 seconds remaining in the game.
However, Bill Kilmer threw a completed pass to Al Dodd, who also had returned the kickoff and first game coach, J.D. Roberts brought on Dempsey, a man born with handicaps regarding his arm and foot.
The rest is history!!
I guess try it on YouTube. Again it is not to mess with the NFL especially when they are right (a rarity) but to display Dempsey, Wester and I note an equally great television call that day by Don Criqui.
