1. I was just watching the Dolphins '72 game on NFL Network...

I <3 that channel :D

[Ekirh]

2. I recently read. .

That there is no complete footage of the first superbowl known. despite the fact two channels broadcast it . . .

If true that kind of suxs. (yes.. suxs)

[bicentennial_baby]

3. Really?

How odd...

9. They didn't think much would come of the AFL-NFL World Championship Game

It was thought of by most people as just an exhibition, so neither NBC nor CBS saved the tapes.

Tickets were $12, yet it wasn't close to a sellout — attendance was 61,946, and the LA Coliseum seats about 93,000.

A 30-second commercial cost $42,000.

10. I knew it wasn't a sell out . .

So they didn't save them.. I thought it was because they lost them . . either or .. still interesting.

13. Teevee stations and networks didn't save tape very often

The two-inch Quad tape used then was expensive, so unless something of certain historical value was on it, like a World Series, they wiped tapes and re-used them.

In 1967, nobody thought there'd be XLII Super Bowls. Hell, the first one wasn't even called Super Bowl I, since "I" implies there'll be a II, etc.

14. Cool

So it's the "Lost" superbowl then . . .


I have a semi-fasination about T.V Episodes, Sporting events, and wrestling matches that are lost due to being taped over, tapes destroyed, or simply just not taped period. .. .

4. I noticed they are biased though

The Skins SB reruns are in the middle of the night!:grr:

[Ekirh]

5. The First superbowl I ever watched invovled the skins . .

Skins/Bills . . I remember watching it on the small kitchen T.V . . . also the first football game I can ever remember watching.

Surprsingly it didn't turn me into either a Skins or Bills fan.

7. One of the Cowboys EIGHT appearances was on earlier tonight!

It was one of the FIVE wins!

I'm sure there will be more appearances of the COWBOYS on throughout the night!!

:rofl:

[Tresalisa]

6. Yep, been watching it!

I got to see SB XXX, when the Cowboys and Steelers played, one of my personal favorites.
