This week we take a fond look back at the World Football League, in the midst of their first - and only complete - season. I remember living in an area where the games weren't available, and fiddling with a UHF antenna to try and bring in the signal from the Twin Cities. I probably did that for this very game. Also: a look at the future of cable TV from the perspective of 1974, a look at model Susie Blakely, a look at the Midnight Special vs. In Concert, the week in sports, and more!
