<p>I used to dig these snippets they had during the commericals in a game where they show a play and ask what would you call, and if it was what the ref actually called.</p><p>I don't think they have them anymore, but they should. </p>

I believe that it was "AT&T presents you make the call." Either way, I miss them too. "If you chose back field in motion, you made the right call."

I remember it. I think it was narrated by the NFL Films guy.

<p>I think one of the reasons they aren't around is because people have a much better understanding of the NFL rules, and also, instant replays and multiple cameras make things much more conclusive than the late 80's footage they used before.</p><p> </p>

<p>My friends & I still use that saying to this day:</p><p><font color="#3300cc"><strong>"Where do you want to go for dinner?"</strong></font></p><p><font color="#009933"><strong>"I don't know...you be IBM, bro, you make the call"</strong></font></p>

<p>Wasn't one of the Fumble by the Giants?</p><p>I think the options was kneel down on the ball or hand-off. </p>
