As it comes to the Super Bowl, I and II's broadcasts are lost, although NFL Films stitched together much of the footage of I. III somehow completely survived, while IV exists only in black and white from what I believe is a Canadian broadcast. V is missing much of the fourth quarter. After that, ev...

The majority of 1977-79 games that we see on YouTube are CBS productions (NFC games). There seem to be significantly fewer 1977-79 NBC/AFC games by comparison. The source for much of the late '70's CBS video appears to be from Channel 2 in New York. You don't see any local commercials or station I.D...

Maybe - and this is just another guess - I think the Cardinals first used Busch Stadium rather than the old Sportsman's Park in 66 or 67.

Sam Rutigliano won UPI's AFC COY in 1979 & 1980. His Browns lost to the Raiders in the 1980 & 1982 AFC Playoffs. So it's Rutigliano and Allie Sherman (1961 & 1962 UPI NFL COY/0-3 in NFL Championship games).

The 1977 Denver Broncos, who were coming off their best season ever (9-5). They went on to win the AFC and advanced to Super Bowl XII. ABC's snub of the Broncos further drew the ire of Denver fans whenever their club was excluded from Howard Cosell's halftime highlights segment: "Business is bo...

Would also like to find Box Scores for CFL Playoff games/rounds before Grey Cup I have yet to find a source that includes box scores for CFL Playoff games, either in book form or online. CFL record keeping has been pretty hit and miss over the years. It would be a big undertaking but I'd love it if...
