If you're asking how it was played, then how do you know it was 'a cool show'?

To get this out of the way, from Chris Lambert's Sports Game Show Page: (http://\"http://www.chris-lambert.com/SPORTS/Bench.html\")
Grandstand
Curt Chaplin hosted this syndicated 1988-89 effort. which pitted three contestant-and-athlete teams. In Round One, the contestants answered rapid-fire questions about their partners; Round Two consisted of jump-in general-sports-knowledge questions. The winning team tried to move across a football-field game board (much like the later "Dream League"). Starting at the twenty-yard line, the team gained $200 and ten yards for each correct answer; a prize was awarded for completing a touchdown (eight questions) in 60 seconds. If things looked bleak, the team could call for 'The Bomb'; much like Whew's 'longshot', it was a one-question, all-or-nothing affair, with all prizes won during the main game and the bonus cash on the line.
This is not to be confused with the long-lived BBC (and short-lived NBC) sports highlights show.

I remember that show as well! Nicknamed "The Good Game of the South."
Unfortunately, KTXH-20 aired it only on a limited basis provided that the Houston Astros were playing an away game on EST (New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Montreal, Atlanta: Florida wasn't in then). Sometimes for west coast games (Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego: No Arizona or Colorado).
IE: 6:00- Grandstand
6:30- Astros @ Montreal Expos

If his posting history is any indication, any show he remembers that is no longer on the air is automatically cool.
