If anyone lacked class, it was actually the NFL and their allies in the media - the Chiefs were 13 point underdogs in this game. The AFL was so disrespected in the '60s, yet AFL games were more entertaining then the NFL's 3-yards & a cloud-of-dust brand of football, save for maybe the upstart Cowboys, Colts and Browns - the latter 2 teams running Paul Brown's offensive system.

@lwmson agreed, I remember the earlier ones having noon kickoffs. The NFL is fine with the primetime kickoffs now,but I think Baseball not having daay games for the world series anymore has hurt the sport greatly.

This is very interesting. It shows how different the game was, particularly the Super Bowl, and how it's evolved and changed over the last 40 years. Thanks for uploading "melcrago."

Always liked KC.'s unusual huddle. Although it was different and interesting, I believe they were the only team to use it, and it never really caught on with other football teams. But I thought it was very innovative.

@Dietpepsivanilla How could Grant shake Stram's hand when the cocky SOB was already riding his players shoulders before the game was even over !?!? Grant wasn't gonna wade into "not so humble" Hank's premature celebration for the obligatory handshake.If anyone lacked class it was the winning coach, not the losing coach; but it's always easier to judge character in hindsight...I'm sure they would both handled the situation differently in retrospect.

I believe that the whole CBS broadcast of Super Bowl IV exists, but the first half only exists in black-and-white.

@kcbill54 bud grant went to shake hands with hank but the chief player had him on they shoulders right off the bat, when bud grant saw that he then started to walk the other way not wanting to bother his horsey ride. when hank was what happened he told his players to let him down , he felt bad that bud tried to shake hand but couldnt, he tried to chase bud but it was too late. How do i know this- hank told the story many times, i heard him tell it on a ny sports radio station once when asked.

Outstanding quality! Would love to see the whole game.

This, and the highlights you've posted elsewhere, are just astonishing. I have not seen the actual CBS telecast since, well, since January 11, 1970 when it aired live.
This truly is RARE! I don't think even NFL Network has this.

I truly don't like the Vikings, being a Packer fan, but calling Bud Grant classless is one of the most insane things I have ever heard. His teams always lined up at attention for the Anthem, hit hard and none of the mainstays were ever cheap shot artists.
THIS IS AWESOME

@6400az Coaches have always shaken hands after a game...no fawning, just plain sportsmanship. Vikings didn't show for the game. Period. They were beaten by a much better team that day. Stram knew what it was like to lose a Super Bowl. He lost to Lombardi's Packers in '67. You seriously think no one ever makes comments about the opposition in the middle of the game? Get real.
