There was a skit last night on Saturday Night Live that was mocking NFL Red Zone with a female alternative. At the beginning, they had the screen set up in quartiles & at the lower right is a clip from the Houston Gamblers vs the Tampa Bay Bandits. Then they show Kelly throwing a TD pass to Vince Courville. I re-ran it several times on the DVR to verify it was Kelly.

Re: SNL uses 30 year old Kelly clip in skit
Nice catch (no pun intended). A shame I haven't watched SNL since it was good...Bye Bye Brady...

I found out today the other clip used was from a Toronto Argonauts home game. I took a photo of the TV & e-mailed it to a friend who immediately recognized a mid-field logo as the Argos' logo. I guess the NFL refused to give them access to highlights to use for their skit.
Here's it is:

It's not so much that the NFL wouldn't give it to them. They just didn't want to pay the rights fees for footage that 99.9% of people watching wouldn't even notice.Originally posted by Albany,n.y. View Post
Stores like Best Buy and Circuit City (RIP) used USFL footage and stills in their ads for decades. Still do.Comment

I don't think you know what "obscurity" means or how to use it in context. He didn't "look" for it, he just noticed an "obscure" clip, on a once funny TV show.Originally posted by MitchMurrayDowntown View PostComment
