Kid gives football player a 7

[Xerus]

Does anyone remember this classic SS skit from the 80's?

Gordon played a football player named Big Murray. He walks out the stadium feeling depressed and a little boy asks if he could help him. Murray says, "NO!"

The boy takes out a red 7 sticker and asks, "You want my number 7?" Murray replies, "NO!" and the boy says, "Really, you can have it!"

Murray sticks the seven to his shirt making him look like a real football player and tells the kid, "Thanks." The kid goes, "Your welcome", and walks away.

Murray says, "Hey, kid! Catch!" and he throws his towel to the boy and there's a big blue 7 on it. The boy smiles and goes, "Thanks, Big Murray!" Then they both say, "SEVEN!"

Oh yeah- I definitely remember that Sesame Street clip- and I'm pretty sure I've seen the football commercial mentioned as well. Good stuff!

That's right. I remember first seeing that original commercial too. I had forgotten the football player who was in it, but now I remember it was Mean Joe Green, thank you.

I remember that Sesame skit clear as a bell. The actual commecial they were parodizing, however, I think i only saw twice in some retro-spective cases.
