Re: CBS footage of Packers' final drive in Ice Bowl surfaces

I'm reasonably sure that's the voice of Jack Buck, who shared the play-by-play call on CBS with Ray Scott that day, though it doesn't help that there are voiceovers when those goal-line plays are shown. I'm still interested in knowing if people on this site think the crucial 3rd-down QB sneak by Sta...

CBS footage of Packers' final drive in Ice Bowl surfaces

I had often heard that no footage of this historic drive had survived. But early today I came across a story about Jerry Kramer and the 1967 Packers from a 1986 "CBS Sunday Morning" story. It showed CBS' coverage of Green Bay's unsuccessful first and second-down runs into the line, the fir...

Re: Most recent NFL playoff game with no surviving videotape

I'm sure the Denver area got the Steelers-Broncos game in its entirety, but certainly not the rest of the country with the Raiders and Colts going to double OT to settle things. How ironic that NBC and CBS didn't alternate playoff games that day as they almost always did in the 1970s and 1980s. As f...

Most recent NFL playoff game with no surviving videotape?

It's long been noted that Super Bowl II is the lone Super Bowl with no known surviving broadcast footage. Watching NFL Films highlights of the 1974 AFC Divisional Playoff Game between the Dolphins and the Raiders on NFL Network today had me wondering: What is the most recent NFL postseason game with...

Re: Super Bowl I Postgame Audio

Very interesting to listen to the postgame audio after the first Super Bowl, especially the trophy presentation. I'd never heard that before. And to hear from Paul Hornumg, too. Thanks for sharing it! It should be noted, though, that at least some of the videotape of this coverage has survived. When...

Re: The Punt, Pass and Kick Library Book Series

These books helped kindle my interest in pro football when I was a kid in the 1970s. It's sad that the series never went beyond that decade.

Re: Super Bowl I rebroadcast on NFL Network

As pleased as I was to see this rebroadcast presented without a lot of talking heads or other distractions, I was frustrated that all of the game action shown was strictly NFL Films material, even though the NFL Network had shown broadcast footage in its on-air promos for the program, including Bart...

Re: NFL Network will re-air Super Bowl I, the right way this

It wasn't just the talking heads that marred this "rebroadcast" of the first Super Bowl, it was that the only videotape of either the NBC or CBS telecast shown were pregame introductions of the players and a postgame interview of Pete Rozelle by Pat Summerall. I was amazed to see that foot...
