One obscure NFL Films production that I've long been curious about is a 1967 documentary entitled, "Portrait of a Coach." It's the story of Joe Kuharich who was head coach of three NFL teams. Kuharich became the first coach to wear a wireless microphone for NFL Films in January 1967 during...

Super Bowl II was aired exclusively by CBS and was long believed to have been erased, but it was later found that the entire telecast fully exists and rests in the vaults of NFL Films.

I pulled this off eBay---seller wants 20 bucks. I was thinking along the same lines. Oszuscik recently posted a link to NFL...

Bump... Does anyone know the name of the player selected MVP of the 1962 Playoff Bowl (Lions vs. Eagles)? I am trying to come up with a complete list but can't seem to find information on the January '62 winner. Neither AP or UPI wire service accounts that I have come across mention the selection of...
