For this week’s “Best Seat in the House” we’re going back in time, many years.
The greatest play in NFL history happened on December 23, 1972, which was 50 years ago. The anniversary was to be celebrated this Saturday; coincidentally, the Raiders return to Pittsburgh in NFL Week 16 to play the Steelers. Then, earlier this week, Franco Harris, who was the star of what became known as “the immaculate reception,” suddenly died–at 72.
Oh, the irony.

This weekāsĀ āBest Seat in the Houseā star is Michael Minkoff, from Las Vegas.Ā What a view!Ā Minkoff works the Las Vegas Raiders games.Ā Oh, and he gets paid to sit in the ultimate man cave.Ā The downside — he’s stuck watching the Raiders.
But in all fairness, Minkoff enjoyed a thrilling last two weeks, both games won on the final play of the game by Las Vegas.Ā Afterward, I asked Minkoff if the production people in the control room and studio cheer and get excited when the Raiders pull off a big win.Ā He said, yes.Ā Now, that’s a helluva’ workday — watching football, getting paid, and enjoying a thrilling victory.
