I was looking recently at Super Bowl II highlights and I couldn't help but notice there seems to be something else written on the Raiders helmet and end zone logos besides the word RAIDERS. It looks like the word OAKLAND is there as well. I never see it in recreations of the Super Bowl II field onli...

Hello, I've been away from this forum for several years but my love of NFL football hasn't diminished one bit. In 2017 I met my goal of attending 500 games, all played on grass. What can I say? I'm a purist. Since then, I've published a book about my NFL travels, appropriately titled "The Grass...

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...

Thanks for posting the direct link to this story, Citizen.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.
