Reception
[edit]CNET's Matt Rosoff wrote "While the video clips of 75 Seasons might impress you, the text is mostly recycled and the interface seems thrown together without much thought. Unless you're a football fanatic, you could do better for the price."[5] The Charlotte Observer's Steven L. Kent said "Though this documentary CD ultimately might have scored stronger with a bit less video and a superior line of statistics, it does a good job of showing the unique force that defines the National Football League".[3]
Vince Caputo, Tom Hedden, and Dave Robidoux won an Emmy for their score of the CD.[8]
