Green Bay vs Kansas City in Super Bowl!

[-Jrabbit]

Here's some REAL football news... For the first time since its original broadcast, this Friday, January 15, 49 years to the day after the actual event, the first Super Bowl (actually called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game) will be broadcast. Set your DVR to NFL Network, 8pm EST.

Both the CBS (NFL) and NBC (AFL) footage has been lost for many years, so the game has never been re-broadcast in its entirety - just isolated plays. But, using a couple dozen different sources, NFL Films has managed to find footage of all 145 plays from the game, re-format, color-correct, and stitch it all together (a huge project) with original audio. Pretty damned impressive.

I saw the game on live TV back in 1967. I was 13.

It wasn't a great game (35-10 drubbing), but this is actually something of a historical broadcast event.
No doubt with plenty of extras to remind us of how special it all is.

So if you're into that sort of thing, now you know.

Not just a JM post but JM thread. That's a new one.

Tried to edit the thread title for spelling, and that's what happened.
I then reported the thread to Aeson. Hoping one will go away.
But whatever.

Well the game should be worth a view. Recorded of course to expedite viewing.

NP... I just edited the title for this thread and deleted the other.

Resurrecting people and then playing again Live isn't practical.

He does very well, for a Cowboys fan.

Really looking forward to seeing this again. I remember plays from the game.

I'll never forget the two Max Fvcking McGee TDs in that game, subbing for Boyd Dowler. Huge. (Bears fan, but I'm from Fond du Lac, WI. I was rooting for the Pack.)

I am truly a lifelong football nerd. Ask me about the 1963 title game, Bears vs. the Giants and Y.A. Tittle. Ask me where I was in 64, listening to the Browns and Jim Brown destroy the real Colts - the last Cleveland title. But I digress.
