Alright here’s a twitter thread I’ve always wanted to do.

Top 10 sports television themes:

#10 The ABC theme for the Indy 500 and Indycar. You knew you were getting Bob Jenkins or Paul Page calling a race and there is just nothing better.
#9 NBC’s Olympic theme

Team USA basketball, gymnastics, bobsled racing, hockey, figure skating, Michael Phelps dominating at everything. It doesn’t matter the sport. This theme goes with all of them.
#8 The SEC on CBS

When you hear this one you know you’re either watching an LSU/Alabama game where it’s tied at 6 late in the 4th quarter or Arkansas is playing Tennessee and it’s tied at 64 going to a 4th overtime.
#7 NFL on NBC 1995-1997

Alright this one probably doesn’t make a lot of folks lists but I think it’s an incredibly underrated sports theme. Dick Enberg welcoming you to a game featuring Favre and Elway with this in the background always got me fired up.
#6 NFL on FOX

This is admittedly probably too low for this entry, but it’s penalized because FOX got lazy and started using it for sports other than the NFL which was dumb. No...the dramatic piano injury version of this song doesn’t make the list.
