Well, this episode was not even close to my favorite. It's...well, the bottom of the barrell.
On the first real mission for Stockwell, The A-Team takes on the cold war. They take on russian espionage with the true American game....Football. Of course, there are guest star's aplenty including Joe Namath, and Jim Brown (two names I know.)
So, they were hoping to get big ratings by taping into football fever. I'm guessing it didn't work.
Having a crummy plot to hang it on, and confusion and double cross after double cross didn't help me much. Sure, Hannibal goes a little over the top, and yes Murdock is great as usual (Inspector 6 being the best cover any of them have n that's competely by accident.)
Here's the thing though, and it's in the goof's of the episode...so, you can check it out there...but BA grabs onto the helicopter rail. This is so far out of character that even if the episode was good and interesting it goes downhill so fast in that one moment it's unbelievable. I may have scored it lower, but I'm feeling generous tonight.moreless

ADD TRIVIA- Goof: If 'Project Victory' was so dangerous and volatile as every portrayed it, why on earth would T.J. break the box containing it and risk exposure to the rest of the team? It acted like tear gas, so he could have switched it, but then what happened to the real vial? Edit
- When Frankie fires the air cannon, he fires two shots but clearly they use the same footage twice. Edit
- Since they were playing in 'East Germany' it didn't really matter since they were not wanted there. However, if the Germans found out who the A-Team was, they could have held them for extradition. Edit
