Super Bowl I

I want to see the commercials, some of which are now illegal.

 

Cool! Thanks for the heads up!

 

I would too....but I'm guessing they will be replaced by today's advertisers.....

My Packers ARWL already picked this one up....Can't wait.

Spoiler alert....Max McGee was hungover the day of the game, but got put in anyway and had a hell of a game!!

 

Little known fact, the first Superbowl was the game between the Jets and Colts. The two previous games were officially called the AFL-NFL Championship game, but later were referred to as Superbowl I & II

 

And they will be using the radio play by play call of Jim Simpson who passed away earlier this week.

 

Yes, wasn't what I expected.

 

:down: Very disappointing. :down:

 

Saw it live, it was broadcast on both the NFL and the AFL channels.

 

Yes, a HUGE disappointment. You can't hear most of the play-by-play because of the studio clowns talking over it. Unfortunately, that is typical of NFL network and a reason I avoid their highlight shows (and other programming, for that matter). I used to watch their "Gameday" show, but it's just too annoying. Three or 4 guys laughing, cutting up, singing, and talking over the highlight segments, like they think think people tuned in to listen to them. It's amateur hour and I won't waste my time watching it.

 

I was looking forward to hearing the original radio call from Jim Simpson (who recently died) but didn't get to because of the NFL Network guys talking over the whole thing.
Pro Football Talk explains it well:

Not sure why they wouldnt pony up the cash to pay the guy with the good copy of the game. Its NFL history.

 

I read online a day or two ago that there was a guy with a good copy but that he wanted like 1 million bucks and they were only offering like $10K.

 

A million bucks is about one to one and a half weeks pay to Roger Goodell. I think it was a fair asking price.

 

The existing tape in question is not even complete as there are key plays from the 3rd quarter that are missing.

 

I think I read that as well. I'd rather have 75-85% of the first Super Bowl in good quality with the right broadcasters than 100% of the game not as it was seen.
