That's when the NFL didn't cheat for the chiefs and Patriots. Games were won by the players, not the refs flags, points spreads or corrupt commissioners.
thanks for the blast from the past. I wasn't born til 74 but to see Broadway Joe was cool. Going to see the Jets against the Pats this Thursday. Have a great weekend everybody.
I love these videos !!!!!! I can watch them for hours on end. FYI : The Cincinat Bengals first year of play in the old, pre-merger AFL in 1968 while the Miami Dolphins first year of play was also in the AFL back in 1966. In 1970 the Bengals in just their third year of existence made the playoffs for the very first time and also in 1970 the Miami Dolphins in just their fifth year of existence made the playoffs for the very first time.
You know why so many late Boomers and Gen-X'ers love this? Because it's real. No big money or big egos. The stadiums were smaller, the crowds more loyal, the achievements less inflated and the gut investment more real. Money, TV and big egos ruined the NFL.
this narration of chiefs vs chargers is b.s. summerall saying kc was 'hadls favorite whipping post' total bs... in 68 kc beat the chargers 40-3 in san diego, intercepting 7 passes....in 69, the chiefs outscored san diego 54-12....look it up
With all due respect, it was the 1969 Chiefs who won Super Bowl IV on January 11, 1970. The image of the Chiefs from Super Bowl IV has little to do with the 1970 Chiefs who went 7-5-2.
Watching the chiefs really turned me on to football. Unfortunately I think of all the time spent watching football instead of educating myself. It was fun and great but if I could do it over again I would really concentrate on learning.
This could be the last time Pat & Tom called the Boston Patriots. Next year they moved to Foxboro, Massachusetts to become the New England Patriots!!!!
Embarrassing road losses to open and close 1970 + their inability to defeat the Raiders doomed KC's chances for a playoff slot, let alone a repeat. The home loss to Tom Landry's Super Bowl V bound Cowboys was especially telling, serving as an ominous NFL-style reality check from the franchise that drove them out of Dallas following the '62 season. Losing to Lou Saban and Charlie Waller coached teams didn't light up the path, either. But, never mind all of that. Fast forward a half century and it's all good. The Chiefs' fortunes have taken a major upturn since this track was posted. The wait was long, especially for surviving fans from SB IV. However, KC's success is undeniable. How much longer it may last is anyone's guess.
Thank you. I can remember alot of these games. It was a fun time. Wished they could of gotten to the SB. I still loved the Chiefs. DT, Neil Smith, Joe, Marcus.
