music from De Wolfe DWLP 3039 There's A World Going On (1967) The Man Leading the Colts was Earl Morrall- Rhythmical Interruption no 13 (Jack Trombey) Baltimore Victory Over Cleveland- Future of Industry no 7 (Jack Trombey) Namath sent Matt Snell into the Spongy Right Side of Colt's Defence- Future of Industry no 1 (Jack Trombey) Grim Battle For Survival - Commotion (John Reids) A Proud Old Man in a Young Man's Game- Victoria Cross March (Peter Reno)
Who would'nt want a back like Tom Matte on their team?? Even if it took him the entrie post season to run he 40 yards dash, who cares. As fiery as they come, could turn the corner, had good moves, could take up the middle and run over people.
Thanks for the game. I was in the 8th grade & remember that Morral had had a GREAT season resurrecting the Colts (Unitas elbow injury?). My Mom had gotten tickets to the SD Chargers for three different games. K.C., Da-Raiders, and NY Jets! In which they lost all three games! No matters, those who read L.A Sports via L.A. Times will remember sports writer Jim Murray who wrote (on Monday's paper) "Don't Look Now...That funny looking league (AFL) is Number 1."
Joe Namath is the man for two reasons...he is very knowledgeable of football and very athletic, and secondly he propelled the Jets in football lure which inturn joined the nfl and afl together...and you say he's mediocre to todays standards well maybe yes but in todays day and time people are bred from childhood to be an amazing athlete if their parents are crazy, also, once a coach sees someones potential they mold them to a specific position and form their every aspect to be the best at that
@FAITHandLOGIC I was just referring to his ability to pass rather than his legacy. The game before this one he passed a lot. Why did the Bear refer to him as the greatest athlete, in your opinion? Is Namath famous because he came in at the right time, late 60s, and was more pizzazz than talent? Why is he worshipped I guess I am asking, I don't know a lot about sports.
@cheech669 I'd love to know- a piano waltz of some sort, music box like. I've listened to tons of De Wolfe albums pre 1970 looking for it and others but have not found that one yet.
Joe Namath = the "original #12 QB in the NFL". Those famous QBs that copied his number follows: Bob Griese-Miami Dolphins,Terry Bradshaw-Pittsburgh Steelers,Roger Staubach-Dallas Cowboys,Ken Stabler-Oakland Raiders,Tom Brady-NE Patriots,Aaron Rogers-GB Packers.
When was the last time they shot a gun off to signal the end of a game? LMAO. Plus, I think it is obvious that gunshot was stock footage from some game at Tiger Stadium or something in 1964. Anyway, a great production from NFL films. Maybe their best work.
The point of view is a little stilted, and I get the impression that Steve Sabol did not yet recognize the historical significance of this game (then again, perhaps nobody did). Still, this is a beautiful piece of cinema, and as another commenter noted, downplaying the role of Johnny U in those closing drives would not have done him justice.
@starryeyedrealist This was the NFL films production, what do you expect? However, it certainly curried my favor towards the Colts when I was an 8 year old watching these films. I always felt bad for the Colts b/c of this film. Such pathos at the end.
@Flackack I was born nearly 20 years after this game was played, so my perspective is different - I have heard for years about "The Guarantee" and how it was a big deal that the Jets won this game. I never watched this particular film as a kid, so it's strange for me to look at the game through the eyes of a Colts fan. I have to admit, though - it's hard for me not to root for Johnny U and the Colts when I watch this. This may be the best NFL Films presentation I've ever seen.
@starryeyedrealist I was born 3 years after this game. I'm a Browns' fan. This is the closest we've been to actually being in an NFL Films SB production, although I think we may have squeezed into SB IV also. I used to watch these all the time as a kid, and always loved the ending to this. I agree, it is just a great production. I can't wait for to show this stuff to my 3 year old son.
This , SB III show is no doubt great, but have you seen the Superbowl V program....Colts vs Cowboys. That's my particular favorite. The musice, the closeups of the players, the slow motion. Just a fantastic production I think.
@6400az The ones I remember watching on ESPN were from about Super Bowl VI through about Super Bowl XVIII. I know they ran all of them every year, but I usually would not tune in in time to watch the early ones, and I usually wouldn't watch the later ones because the games started becoming lopsided and there was no John Facenda. I don't have the NFL Network, so I can't see any of them now except for the very few posted here.
Alright, thanks for the reply. If you ever get a chance try and watch SB V. It's here on Youtube somewhere, but I'm talking about the Facenda program......there's a nother one with Harry Klaus ?
@6400az I meant that the later programs (post-1982 or something like that) were not narrated by Facenda, and were therefore not as interesting to me back then.
Checking the NFL records I see the QBs that copied Namaths' #12 show a list of very good QBs- Bob Griese,Terry Bradshaw,Roger Staubach,Ken Stabler,Tom Brady.
In fact, EVERY Super Bowl from VI-XIV, nine consecutive, were won by a team who's QB wore jersey #12. But after Bradshaw's win in Super Bowl XIV, there wouldn't be another win for a team with a QB with a jersey #12 until Brady's first Super Bowl win in Super Bowl XXXVI. By the way, the lowest jersey for a winning QB in a Super Bowl is 4 (Brett Farve-XXXI). And you can now add current Packers QB Aaron Rodgers to the list of championship winning QB's with that jersey number.
@cjs3872 You're right....was gonna add Rodgers but you beat me to it. The list as I have is like this {chronologically speaking}: JOE NAMATH-1...BOB GRIESE-2...TERRY BRADSHAW-4...RODGER STAUBACH-2...KEN STABLER-1...TOM BRADY-3 {with a little help from his cameramen friends}...AARON RODGERS-1....I got 7 names.
@JRose5 I don't know about that. There must be something to the #12 for a QB. Bradshaw,as far as I could tell,used #12 as a Steeler at least 5 years before SB IX and the Steel Curtain first began and before Staubach used it as a midshipman in the Navy..{ BTW I just found out that the Raiders QB Kenny Stabler,SB XI champion also used #12.} As far as I can tell Joe Namath was the first QB to use that number. It is still unexplained why it is such a popular number for QBs to use. Facts are facts.
@tjrxk7 Yep, Namath did a lot of things first. The first to wear black polish under his eyes in all of sports (he started that!). The first to wear mink coats on the sidelines. The first to wear shoes a different color (white) than the rest of the teams shoes. The first rookie to recieve 400,000 dollars pay. First AFL QB to beat an NFL team.
He didnt throw a TD in SB III, but he threw a lot of good passes for yardage and had no interceptions. Shula still wishes he put Unitas in at halftime.
@ginzod The reason Morrall didn't see Jimmy Orr was because the halftime marching band was in the back of the endzone and their uniforms obscured Orr. Morrall redeemed himself in SB V.
Whatever.......the real question of that game is Earl Morrall was problem....The Colt defense did ok...only gave up 16 points and held Joe Namath without a touchdown pass..... Matte and Hill ran ok..... What is it with the option play to Matte and he throws it back to Morrall.... Orr is wide open straight ahead .and on the play the ball is supposed to go to him....mysteriously Morrall throws it to the other side for an interception.... What's the deal...????? He saw him..
This is my pick for sports all-time biggest upset. The reverberations and implications from this game was to be felt and talked about to this day. Lenny Dawson and the Chiefs laid much of the AFL nay-sayers to bed the next year with a sound drubbing of the Vikings in a similar situation, 23-7.
So I don't know how Namath is the MVP. The defense of the Jets were alert and stopped the Colts from scoring at all in the first half. But that's history. Unless you examine history you won't find out the truth of what really went on.
Still, I have to credit Namath and not grudgingly either. He came in and played hard, threw no interceptions and was solid, although not spectacular. I suppose his leadership in the game made him MVP more than anything else.
@MisterEvasion Well, Namath did the most important thing of all. He controlled the clock, the whole game. He knew what plays to call, and when to call them. He kept the ball out of Colt hands, when they needed it most.
@ginzod I saw the game on tv live...I think he was over confident and he just had a bad day. Every time it looked like they were gonna score on the Jets something weird happened. The Colts had won like 13 games in a row and were due to lose sooner or later. Football is a game of intensity. Every body was waiting for Joe to throw bombs every where and he never did it. They played ball control. Don Shula told me the Jets won cuz Joe beat the Colt blitz every time they brought it.
@Flackack Thanks!- I always wanted to know what all of this music was and thought I'd post what I had found out so far here where people might be able to find it (a lot of great library music info on YouTube). I found out some titles from the NFL Films Yahoo Group which was very dedicated to ID'ing library music used in NFL FIlms, the rest I found out the past year or two by listening to a lot of old recordings. I want to find out the rest for sure.
@dvenhuis dear hue: u seem like an expert. do u have any idea what is the name of the song that starts at 3:52 and goes on for about 20 seconds?? it was the afl theme song for their opening on nbs sports ffr about 1965-1968or so and i just love it but i dont know the name of it but it might be property of nfl films. do u have any idea what it is????68r
Being born and rasied from Brooklyn New York , I can tell tell all you youtubers out there, that in 1969 WE WERE NO. 1 with the JETS first, then the Mets, and then the Knicks !! It was a glorious time in NYC that will NEVER be repeated again !!!
This really was a homer job done by NFL Films with the script. Calling Morrall's interception by Jim Hudson a tragedy and the overplaying of Unitas, who was basically as ineffective as Morrall. I get that it was 'NFL' Films and not 'AFL' Films, but still...just a very unprofessional job by a GREAT organization. I'm sure Steve Sabol would admit it too
@cbaldwinjr Agreed. But I'm okay with giving Johnny U his proper recognition; he was a true champion.
But... without Namath and the Jets winning Super Bowl III, would the Super Bowl have continued? And due to that major upset in the Miami Orange bowl that evening in 1969, we will be celebrating the 45th Super Bowl this Sunday.
The thing is NFL Films make up it's own storyline. In SB XI Vikings vs Raiders. Say's something to the effect , both team began by feeling each other. Wrong !! From the get go, the Raiders shoved the ball down the Vikings throat. Sometimes they'll call the action from the poiint of view of the fan, hence the tragic inteception by Hudson. Many times they where a little subjective. Also, Steve Sabol admitted he was an ' NFL guy", he loved Unitas.
