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 NFL Network aired its reconstruction of the game with NFL Films footage last January, the program included Pat Summerall's interview with Pete Rozelle.
This and videotape of the pregame player introductions, which were also shown as part of that program on NFL Network, leads me to believe that the NFL has recovered a good amount of one of the Super Bowl telecasts, either the NBC or CBS version, or perhaps some of both, from a source or sources other than the tape owned by Troy Haupt. Highlights of the game and maybe even the Rozelle interview could have been preserved at the time the game aired, but I find it hard to believe that would also have been true of the player introductions. I'll bet that videotape is just some of what the NFL has managed to recover in the years since Super Bowl I was played.
