2008 Holiday Gift Guide: 1980 NFC Championship Game

First things first; Happy Thanksgiving!

As you are well aware, one of the traditions of Thanksgiving is football. The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys always have a game and this year the Eagles will play a home game in primetime. If the thought of watching the Eagles pass the ball on third and short makes you want to toss your turkey and stuffing, then why not bunker down Thanksgiving night and relive one of the greatest games in Eagles franchise history, the 1981 NFC Championship game.

Available on DVD is NFL: Greatest Games-Philadelphia Eagles 1980 NFC Championship Game. The 1980 NFC Championship Game was the shining moment of the Dick Vermeil era in Philadelphia. The game, played at the Vet against the hated Cowboys propelled the Eagles into Super Bowl XV. Played on January 11, 1981 , a team that featured Ron Jaworski as QB and Vince Papale on Special Teams. Nostalgia plus action plus Eagles glory, as they took down their rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.

Relive Wilbert Montgomery running for a touchdown, paving the way for the Eagles' first Super Bowl berth. This is a must-have for any Eagles fan and would be a terrific addition to the video library.
