  • Its Lime!! ITS REALLY LIME!!

  • :40 "A complete sell-out of course." Why "of course"? Super Bowl I was not a sellout by far. I think he was trying to create some hype.

  • @63kraft Well I think by the time they had gotten to Super Bwol III it was a bigger deal than the first Super Bowl was.

  • Curt was an avowed AFL fan.  I love the fact that he and Al DeRogatis were wearing Jet green blazers. I think that was an NBC ploy. Long live Joe and the AFL.

  • thats hillarious for the united commercial..nice thick steak filet mignon dinner

  • nice little skit all the players did with that family circle

  • Cigarette Commercials?

  • Shit, LOL! My channel got taken down for posting this game

  • people were way more patriotic back then

  • love the cigarette commercial and the short shorts

  • old tv is funny

  • Oooops, interception, not interseption.

  • Bubba Smith said the game was fixed but later retracted the statement. The Morrall interseption while Jimmy Orr was wide open (as designed) was suspicious. And still is.

  • This was the first fixed Super Bowl in the NFL since the merger

  • WE /sp/ NOW

  • No one would otherwise have believed there were cigarette commercials in the early years of the Super Bowl.

    Notice what Curt Gowdy was wearing? A green jacket. The Jets wear green.

    Notice one of the sponsors was TWA, the "all-jet" airline? One of TWA's hubs was at New York's JFK Airport.

    Notice that NBC was the network of the AFL?

    And with New York being the largest television market, apparently other factors went Namath's way this day.

  • The Colts were CRIMINALLY overrated that year. Had Meredith not been so badly banged up in the Cleveland game it would have been Dallas and NY in this game, and likely a far different outcome.

  • @WatchVenusSpa

    You think Dallas could have beaten the Colts in the NFL Champioship Game? The Colts had a monster team that year.

  • i knew the jets were gonna win this game

  • THANK YOU Brooklynmario! Some other guy has this but I think they just edited your film and then made it Private today.... This is just amazing and thank you SO Much for this Upload!

  • @jseph1234567890 Thanks so much!

  • LOL...gawd the pre-game show is so gay. Being able to look back nealry 50 years, I would have preferred seeing The Doors perform the pre-game ("Light My Fire" and "Touch Me") and Creedance Clearwater Revival at half-time ("Bad Moon") and Hendrix the post-game (aptly titled "Hey Joe").

  • It's amazing that advertisers didn't produce special commercials for Super Bowl Sunday back then.

    Today, it's the biggest day of the advertising year as well as the sports year.

    And Super Sunday is now the biggest annual sports event in the entire world. The Summer Olympics and the Men's World Cup Soccer finals are the only sports events that draw a larger worldwide TV viewership.

  • This is AWESOME! What a blast from the past.

  • Pat Summerall on an NBC telecast?

  • @cjs3872 I know it's odd, given his association with CBS back then, but Pat was on loan to NBC essentially to do commentary for their radio broadcast of Super Bowl III. [NBC, then owned by RCA, had a radio network up until the mid-1980's, when GE bought NBC and sold the radio network to syndicator Westwood One, later known as Dial Global.]

  • @byrd56

    Yes, seeing Pat Summerall doing commentary for NBC was as odd as seeing Curt Gowdy calling a few NFL games for CBS about a decade later, though Gowdy also worked for ABC Sports on several events, especially some NASCAR races, including being the lead broadcaster for the 1966 Daytona 500.

  • why are people saying Anita Bryant sang the anthem, that looked like a trumpet

  • @ikecham I think Ms. Bryant sang the anthem at another of the early Super Bowls held in Miami.

    Three of the first five Super Bowls (II, III, and V) were played there.

  • The NFL was throwing the Colts the Championship, but they kept dropping it!

    Too bad for Baltimore... good for Miami (Shula).

  • Cool great clip.

  • @35:27 Interesting how they recited the Pledge of Allegiance, seems arcane.

  • At 29:00, the "telecine" [film chain] at NBC-New York switches during the station break from the "Wild Kingdom" promo slide to the film leader cued up at "5". That would probably be the filmed main title for NBC's Super Bowl telecast.

  • @byrd56 yeah I noticed that too and I thought "This so authentic" and you can still see stuff like this happen on Public Access today just like the Ol' of T.V. when you had irregular starting and ending times for shows.

  • my favorite game, thx.

  • This game and Super Bowl XIII were the best NBC broadcasts of the Super Bowl
