Charlie Jones was one of my favourite NFL play by play guys. Loved all the guys who did NBC AFC games in 70s and 80s, Gowdy, Endberg, Criqui to name a few.
as a young, 11 year old k. c. chiefs' fan i watched this show every week during the 1969 season. it was a magical and wonderful year for the chiefs. but i watched and followed the nfl as well as the afl. i was a fan of dick butkus, roman gabriel and gale sayers as much as joe namath, lance alworth and willie lanier. i just loved football back then.
Thanks for posting this vid. I was 10 years old and playing APBA football every night. APBA was a card and dice game which came with the NFL teams and you had to buy the AFL as an add-on. Seeing this reminds me of those cards with the players names on them and seeing the actual players again reminds me of those games I played every night.
Hah! Loved APBA. Had the basketball and baseball editions 1972. Baseball was definitely the favorite. Kept stats and standings for all teams as I tried to play the (strike shortened) whole season. Especially liked the supplemental cards you could purchase for each baseball team that included about 5 players that did not have enough games played to make the standard player pack. 1972 was a great year for starting pitching also
I used to watch this every saturday afternoon. I was 11 years old and that was about the only highlight show we had. This was the last year of the true AFL/NFL leagues. It was an especially memorable year for me because as a kid growing up in Kansas City, we would see the Chiefs win their only Super Bowl a few months later in January. Do you notice how "normal" sized these guys are? I mean you don't see 370 pound offensive linemen with their guts hanging over their pants. No dancing and prancing around when they make a tackle or touchdown.I can hardly watch today's version of pro football. Things WERE BETTER back then!
I loved the intimacy of the old Memorial Stadium (before the Chiefs moved to Arrowhead)--the horse "Warpaint" running up and down the sidelines--the Pardo "swing band", groundkeeper George Toma's care of the field (including putting the Chiefs and the opponents helmet logo's on each side of the 50 yard line)
I love chiefs too...remembet 1969 well.especially the very physical afl title game vs the hated raiders...aaron brown played an awesome game, the chiefs defense was amszing in that 3 game playoff run.onecof the best ever.
Chris A lot of the dancing and prancing started in the post-merger 1970s and really took off in the 80s. A lot of that was a reflection of the growing influence of black athletes in the 70s along with the general "let's just have a good time" social climate of the post-Vietnam post-civil rights, post-Watergate, Disco era. Football went from being presented as warfare where teams were infantry platoons in the 50s and 60s, to being show business where players were personalities and celebrities. Hell, you could also blame it on Broadway Joe changing the public perception of the pro football player from a crew cut Marine who executed the game plan of a general like head coach, to being an indivdualist "doing his own thing" to contribute to the team.
Simple yet distinctive uniforms, outside in the elements on natural turf, real men, no primadonnas, no unnecessary showboating or endzone celebrations, no over commercialization. Man I miss those days.
What a boring ass game you enjoy. I think players should be able to showboat especially after a big score, it adds something to the game. And they shouldn't be penalized. Showboating in the end zone has been happening since the '70s.
@@creativeuserneim He didn’t say they should be penalized for showboating. He just prefers men who act like they’ve done it before, to paraphrase Bear Bryant. And I agree with him. I’ve seen more than enough sack dances by players whose teams are losing by three touchdowns. That kind of selfishness, in 1969, got them an extra set of grass drills.
These old highlight shows are the greatest for an old guy like me and with two legends doing the show like Charlie Jones and Pat Summerall. Takes a man back to a time when football was the best and you didn't see those idiot touchdown celebrations; like Paul Brown always used to say " act like you been there before " and flip the ball to the official !
@@jstube36 well maybe football is still the best in your mind 36, but with these greedy hear no evil see no evil billionaire owners and a commisioner who don't know squat from sick em' along with these rule changes and 54-50 scores, where's the frickin defense, I'm beginning to lose massive faith in the NFL. Along with an asshole president who sticks his nose where it don't belong !
I agree there are things that need changing. But the drama and passion is still second to none. Who wasn't on the edge of their seats yesterday as both Championships(yes thanks to the ones in stripes) went into OT. There is still no better entertainment on the planet. And this I can say first hand as I attend games semi-annually. And I can say the game is still alive and well. And the old motto still stands. Win first ask questions later. And speaking of asshole Presidents sticking their nose in things. Richard Nixon called Don Shula before Super Bowl VI to suggest a play. Well even with "Dick" Nixon on their side the Dolphins were still kept out of the end zone. 24-3. How Bout Them Cowboys
@@jstube36 Yeah, isn't it ironic that the two biggest con men in presidential history would stick their noses into our favorite entertainment ! Gone are the days when Obama would fill out a NCAA bracket which I thoroughly enjoyed !
@@jstube36 You know what I remember about that 24-3 Dallas SB win 36 ? The great Bob Lilly chasing Bob Griese all over that New Orleans stadium and sacking him for the biggest sack in SB history for -29 yards. Man; that was classic ! I disliked the Cowboys because I was a 49ers fan in those days, but I always respected Dandy Don, Lilly, Walt Garrison and Bullet Bob Hayes !
I was too little to recall these years, but I certainly knew the names of many of these players in the seventies and afterward. People complain and whine too much about today's game, celebrations, uniforms, etc. That has nothing to do with the quality of the players or the game itself. Times change, and it doesn't bother me. As a broadcaster, I learned from old-school radio people who weren't big names and were not full of themselves. For TV, Summerall especially was always in control, professional, and unbiased. Jones was an excellent play-by-play man as well. I tell the young ones, to watch and listen to guys like these; they made the footprints for us to follow.
Harold , u hit it right on the head , the nfl was sooooo very cool back then, the sixties and the seventies were the best , the films from the old browns stadium really brings home some terrific memories.
39:50 Greg Cook felt a pop in his right (throwing) shoulder after being tackled by linebacker Jim Lynch and missed the next three games. Possibly due to the limited medical technology at the time, his torn rotator cuff went undiagnosed. The rotator cuff began deteriorating after the season; during surgery, it was revealed that Cook also had a partially detached biceps muscle. After three operations proved futile, he retired. Following retirement, Cook lived in Cincinnati, and worked with United Parcel Service and with Worksite Information Network as a motivational speaker for labor unions. He was an art major at the University of Cincinnati, and continued to paint. Cook had works on display in the Ohio Governor's Mansion. Cook's injury was also similar to that suffered by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who had surgery on his rotator cuff after the 2005-06 season Well, we know how Drew Bree's career went. This goes to show you how fate and one play can end a promising career.
Unfortunately, Cook never recovered from having the injury that forced early retirement, as later on he lived hand to mouth. NFL FILMS has an interesting piece on that troubled part of his life. Bob Trumpy, his tight end, and friend, the NBC analyst tried to help Cook, but to no avail. Sad injury story, as he could have been one of the great ones at qb.
@@jeffreyanderson3522 For sure. I remember some of his college games. He was one of the greats & would likely be in the HOF if not for the injury and career cut short.
It also speaks volumes about how medical technology has advanced over the last half century, Cook's injury ended his career, but Brees ,who suffered the same injury, was able to be "repaired" and went on to make even greater accomplishments.
Awesome subdued game analysis. This was recorded when I was born, but I do recall Pat Sumerall and always loved his style, especially with Madden. Miss those two. Btw, I always felt Joe Kapp looks exactly like Chazz Palminteri
I really absolutely love those Houston Oilers uniforms they should've kept the silver in their color scheme it was perfect as silver or gray goes so well with blue like the Detroit Lions color scheme.
This was way before my time but it sounds awesome! So sick of the overly dramatic announcers now as every single play is life and death crap. Thanks for saving these highlights shows 👍👍
Charlie Jones started in the AFL as the voice of the Dallas Texans, the Cowboys were just there to put them out of business. Which they forced them to move to Kansas City.
Weekend morning highlights, electric football, plastic bubble gum machine team helmets, original green nerf football that was hard from being left in the rain, begging for and getting a heavy kicking tee, toy football uniforms with shoulder pads and helmet, 2 legged goal posts, the smell of mud and getting bitched at for destroying school clothes. Childhood in the projects...we were so lucky
Brief clip at 15:01 of Chuck Noll on the Steelers sideline in his first year as the new coach. Things would change for the Steelers in the coming years.
The old Denver Broncos are interesting. I've seen their 1969 highlights video, as well. There's something about the Lou Saban coached Broncos teams (1967-1971) and that era of football that makes up for the unspectacular won-loss record for those seasons. (If it wasn't for the violence of the play of Bills players Cookie Gilchrist and Mike Stratton, and the later over-focus on offense on O.J. Simpson, I'd tend to love Saban's years coaching the Bills, as well, and nominate him for one of the greatest coaches of all time.) Specifically, regarding the old Broncos, watching 1969 Broncos videos, makes it very clear to me, that in terms of outstanding attitude, athleticism, and long career, both pre-Orange Crush and during the famed Orange Crush defense, 1969 rookie safety Billy Thompson can't be matched; an awesome player, maybe deserving of the HOF even before Gradishar. Additionally, the absolutely outstanding Denver Bronco who's the least remembered and honored today, may very well be wide receiver Al Denson. He had great statistics in his seasons with the team, and his TD pass in this video's game versus the Bills is shown twice and given special attention by Charlie Jones. I just remember, spending most of my entire life in Denver, Channel 2 sportscaster was Mike Haffner, the 1969 videos, including this one, show him as a reasonably successful wide receiver for at least the 1969 Broncos, and with some great plays. Lastly, how ironic to see the Bills receiver for several seasons, Haven Moses, burn the Broncos in this game, but later become one of the most famous wide receivers in Broncos history, having, just for example, a world-class receiving game in the famous 1977 AFC Championship game victory over the Raiders.
Great insight, Paul! I thought the name "Haven Moses" sounded familiar. It was before I was old enough to watch, but I've read some Broncos history. I became a Broncos fan in 1979.
Thompson was the leader of a secondary which included Louis Wright and Steve Foley who roamed the Bronco secondary for many years passing the torch to Dennis Smith and Steve Atwater
The Broncos' defensive line, especially Rich Jackson and Paul Smith, was not too bad either. Neither was Floyd Little, who was practically their entire offense.
Chargers were a good team in 1969. And, amazing, the way the Bengals handled the Chiefs. Oilers' uniforms were killer. The way Detroit's defensive front ran down Tarkenton was almost funny. They were on him so fast.
@@muffs55mercury61 Back then NFL teams played in mixed-use stadiums that were bare-bones and not set up to cater to corporate clients. If a city is going to be blackmailed into using taxpayer funds for a modern billion-dollar stadium, it better be usable 365 days a year to protect the public investment.
@@TheLAGopher They may have, but I don't remember it. And, certainly not this "Woke" preaching of misinformation and lectures about how America is bad, and how cops are targeting groups of people to kill, based on race, and so on, and so forth. It's why no one is watching it like they once did. Ratings are in the dumper. Not to mention the NFL rule changes which took the steam out of the game. For a guy who makes $11-million a year to claim that players are treated like; "a piece of property," is just plain stupid. And, what Country is it that allows individuals to hone their talents and use them to make the kind of money these players make? To say America is, "racist," and, "oppressive," is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, especially from guys who have just proven that it isn't. This is not a political site, though, so excuse me.
Two true professionals with University of Arkansas roots. Pat played for the Razorbacks. Charlie, himself born in Fort Smith, received his law degree at the University in Fayetteville.
Notice the shade of blue used on all the teams that used blue in their color scheme. No navy blue in sight. All light blue. Navy blue is so overused and ugly to me.
The Vikings’ victory was the start of a 12-game winning steak, the longest in pro football history since the 1934 Bears won all 13 of their regular season games before losing to the Giants in the NFL championship.
I was 10 in 1969. Football was great in those years. Today it's pretty much garbage. Players back then played for the love of the game but today it's called a business. Soo sad
Perfectly-played and deviously-played onside kick at 42:06, which would work in today's game. After replaying it many times, I've concluded that the perfection of the kick itself exceeds the devious nature of the play.
I feel like it's impossible to be of the opinion to both love these old games and appreciate the game now. I'm not gonna delude myself into believing the game and players today isn't impressive as hell. I do miss when games didn't take 5 hours to play and have a commercial break every 3 plays, however
Man does this take me back to when the game really was great , even the announcers were tops . Charlie Jones and Pat Sumerall were fabulous. This was the years the jets went on to win it all yes ?
The Raiders uniforms and helmet logo have not changed since 1963, they did go with silver numbers on their white road jerseys during the 1970 season, the Cowboys added a red crown stripe to their helmets during the 1976 season
Nobody designed those uniforms with the idea of selling them to middle-aged men in those days. Little kids used to be the only guys wearing baseball caps off the field. Men wore men's clothing, not t-shirts, jerseys, or jeans.
Wk #2. The week that launched/turned around the Vikings fortunes that yr. That is, up until the Super Bowl. Where they got out-coached, and out-muscled by the Chiefs 23-7. One wonders what would've happened if Kapp didn't go for the FA mkt $$$ and sign with the Pats in 1970. Would the Vikes gone on to face the Colts again in '71 SB instead of the cowboys who, the Vikings crunched 54-17 during the season? Old time Vike fans will wonder....lol.
umm.....umm... it was 54-13...sorry to correct you....so sorry.....umm.....soooo sorry......vikings fan......i rooted for them vs the 49ers.....yes, they had no chance....i'm sorry your team has always been an abortion......
@@graciemaemarie11jones16 The Vikings have always been an abortion in Super Bowls in the 70s and championship games ever since. But they had to be a great franchise to even be in the position of choking in so many big games. They are a very successful regular season franchise with 16 division titles since 1970. In fact, they are the best franchise since the merger that never won a title.
@@TheLAGopher u t right...they werent an abortion...they werean AFTERBIRTH...0 to 51....the pinkies never ever scored a single point ever in the SB....ZERO to 51....abortion? nah....AFTERBIRTH....HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHALOL LOL LOL LOL ....HAHA HA HAHA HA HA LOL 0.......5.....1.......0-51....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Man, San Diego Stadium (as it was called at the time) looked amazing. I don't know why they felt they had to expand that stadium to the eyesore it was today. Yes, I know, Super Bowl 22, but still....what a waste.
Actually it's still a beautiful field. The structure could've used some renovating. The thing is it only seats about 70,000. Today that number is obsolete. Simply because the game is so huge. The Chargers had a tremendous following. But the reason the Chargers left was because we refused to pay over half the price(which was $1.5 billion)for a Downtown Stadium. The charge for parking alone would've been insane. So we said thanks but no thanks. That's why they play in LA.
Notice the Dodge CHARGERS sitting behind the endzones. Since Chrysler which advertised a lot on NBC, particularly Bob Hope's old show, brought the AFL too, I wonder if the car was named after the team. All, I remember was that the Dodge Fever girl Pam Austin was hotter than a firecracker on the sun..lol..and she introduced the Charger on their TV spots/ads.
David Parada Yes, I remember growing up occasionally watching the Chargers host the Jets @ San Diego Stadium (I was born near Shea Stadium, so you had to be a NY fan) and when the Padres host the Mets on occasion. What pisses me off now is the fact that Chargers abandon their place for their 'original' home. Believe me, I will not get used to call the San Diego Chargers the 'Los Angeles Chargers'. Can't do it.
I think the Chargers wanted to move. The Spanos family is plenty wealthy enough to finance a quality stadium. But they wanted the taxpayers to pay for most of it. So we told them hell no. Again that's why they're in LA. That's why the 49ers play in Santa Clara. And that's why the Raiders are headed to Nevada. I'm sure saying Vegas Raiders will be strange for a bit. Then again it does have a nice ring to it.
Too bad us Americans don't care about history, especially sports history as it relates to architecture. The Chargers never won a championship at Qualcomm, they were still at Balboa Stadium when they won their AFL Championship. But there was some history in Mission Valley. I still like to go there for Aztecs games, and I am sad the AAF folded so quickly since I made it to one Fleet game and it was a good time. Have to bow down and worship the almighty dollar.
Minnesota's victory over Baltimore (1:50) was a grudge match from the season before when the Colts had defeated the Vikings in the playoffs. Minnesota's QB Joe Kapp has said he used that game to motivate him in this regular season game. Kapp subsequently went out and three 7 TD passes. I always wondered what Kapp would have done in 1970 in the Vikings home opener against the KC Chiefs if he had resigned in the off season (especially since the Chiefs beat the Vikings in SB IV)
@@graciemaemarie11jones16 that's funny because the Vikings hammered the Chiefs in their home opener in 1970 (27-10) with a Gary Cuozzo who wasn't nearly as talented as Kapp. So logic says Kapp would have totally destroyed the Chiefs.
8:30 When people talk about the Raiders of the late 60's and 70's and their receivers you always hear about Fred Biletnikoff and Cliff Branch, almost never about Warren Wells. He had a brief career but for a few years he was really good.
At the end of his career Warren Wells had the professional football record for yards per catch, 23.1, until the NFL changed the criteria to a minimum of 200 receptions, Wells caught 158 passes, had he stayed out of trouble with the law he should have achieved his 200th catch during the 1971 season, his 1968, 1969 and 1970 receptions total was, 53, 47 and 43, an average of almost 47 passes caught per year. He also had a very high percentage rate of touchdowns per catch.
@Michael Logan I don't know more about him than what I have seen on highlight films. There have been a lot of pro football players over the years who have not exactly been Boy Scouts, in fact the Raiders have made it part of their image to be bad boys. It was a big part of the reason the NFL would not let them relocate back to LA, LA street gangs adopted the Raiders for their image and the NFL didn't want that.
I always wish we had a time machine and could match up teams from different eras. Play some teams from 50 years ago against teams from today. How would the best team from 1969, the Chiefs, match up against modern teams at various levels? We know they wouldn't stack up against the best NFL teams from 2019. How would the 1969 Chiefs do against the worst NFL team of 2019? How would they do against the best college teams, like 2019 Clemson or Alabama?
Chiefs defense in '69 would be just fine today. It was arguably the greatest defense of all time. Six Hall-of-Famers, and that's not counting Jerry Mays, Aaron Brown and Jim Lynch.
I'm amazed that 50 years ago professional football games were being played on baseball fields, only one such atrocity continues in Oakland to this day.
Indeed the KC-Cincy game was one of the major games of that year as the Bengals suffered a huge blow with Greg Cook's injury. He stays healthy and who knows what happens?
A few guys got clonged along the way. What was amazing was how long it took them to decide to move them back. They were at the back line for college football for many years before the pros got around to employing common sense and following suit.
After you win a Super Bowl ,unless you upgrade your team ,you will be the target of HUMILIATION for every opposing team the next season.Some teams - like the Vikings and the Bills,never learned the upgrading process. Oh,they had back to back Super Bowl appearances - but they never won the Lombardi.The Jets never made it back to the big stage after beating the Colts.
In 69 the Vikings,Rams,Cowboys, and Browns were great. The Colts would suffer through a super bowl hangover. The Lions and Redskins were up and coming teams. The crappy teams were the Steelers,Bears,Eagles, and Saints. In the AFL the Chiefs,Raiders, and Jets were real good. The Oilers and Chargers were so so. The Patriots,Bills, and Dolphins were awful. In the Dolphins case not for long because Don Shula will come in and take over.
Correction plenty QB's today give blocks. Dak will deliver a few, Drew Brees, Pat Mahomes, Big Ben, Phillip Rivers, and yes once in a while even the G.O.A.T. Tom Brady. On a double-reverse it actually is a requirement. It's rare because most teams would not risk getting a starting QB hurt.
@@jstube36 Correction, Big Ben was Ben Davidson, 6' 8" or 6' 9" depending on the source, 275-190 pounds compared to Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger, 6' 5", 240, Ben Davidson was the original Big Ben. Grossly Overrated of All Time, Thomas " Tuck " Brady. Don't get me wrong, my TB 12 jab was for my Massachusetts friends because it makes them apoplectic, perhaps I will edit my comment from never to rarely. So, you're tight with Dak Prescott? Y'all are on a first name basis, that's cool for you! Rayne Dakota Prescott is his full name.
@@davidcobb2693 6'5" 240 is pretty big for a QB even by today's standards. So I would say the name fits the Steeler QB. Big Ben is not the only shared nickname. Carl Eller( HOF DE Vikings) was called Moose. But the one we all know and love with that name is Daryl Johnston. Stoneface was given to both Tom Landry and Bud Grant. The Genius was Bill Walsh, but it's a name I also give to Bill Belicheck. And tuck or no tuck G.O.A.T. IS Tom Brady. That title passed on from Joe Montana. Of course I do know Dak's full name. And I look very forward to seeing him operate the WCO(a system perfectly suited for his skillset) under Coach McCarthy. The best of Dak and America's Team(another shared moniker) is yet to come.
@@jstube36 If the Steelers QB/sometimes rapist can be called by the same nickname that was earned by one of the most feared defensive linemen of his era, then let's use your logic ( opinion ) and attach a few more unearned monikers to a few more sports heroes, or zeroes, depending on how you think, Barry " Hammer " Bonds, Roger " The Big Train " Clemens, why not? People with very little or NO knowledge of sports history won't get my sarcasm and who's in charge of distributing the Dallas Cowboys Kool-Aid that has you thinking such lofty and unattainable things like the 'pokes riding Dak to greatness? Aerosmith had a hit song for delusional fans, " Dream On "
@@davidcobb2693 Roger Clemens was "The Rocket". Walter Johnson was the "Big Train". And I don't just drink Dallas Cowboys Kool Aid. I make my own brand. I bleed Silver and Blue.

I loved watching those Raider highlights. Before there was Randy Moss, there was Warren Wells But like Moss, he was a a bad boy and Wells' transgressions ended his NFL career. What a waste.
agree. both were total douchebags....neither won a super bowl....thankfully....two total dickturds...them two fuckfelons got what those criminals deserved....
These games are fun to watch but the quality of play is really mediocre compared to today. A good D1 high school team could beat most of these guys. Joe Kapp threw 7 TDs, was QB of the NFL champs, and was summarily traded to the worst team in the league in 1970. It’s not hard to see why...even in this “great game” he looks clumsy and awkward. Telegraphs his passes.

A lot of the dancing and prancing started in the post-merger 1970s and really took off in the 80s. A lot of that was a reflection of the

@@jstube36 well maybe football is still the best in your mind 36, but with these greedy hear no evil see no evil billionaire owners and a commisioner who don't know squat from sick em' along with these rule changes and 54-50 scores, where's the frickin defense, I'm beginning to lose massive faith in the NFL. Along with an asshole president who sticks his nose where it don't belong !
I agree there are things that need changing. But the drama and passion is still second to none. Who wasn't on the edge of their seats yesterday as both Championships(yes thanks to the ones in stripes) went into OT. There is still no better entertainment on the planet. And this I can say first hand as I attend games semi-annually. And I can say the game is still alive and well. And the old motto still stands. Win first ask questions later. And speaking of asshole Presidents sticking their nose in things. Richard Nixon called Don Shula before Super Bowl VI to suggest a play. Well even with "Dick" Nixon on their side the Dolphins were still kept out of the end zone. 24-3. How Bout Them Cowboys
@@jstube36 Yeah, isn't it ironic that the two biggest con men in presidential history would stick their noses into our favorite entertainment ! Gone are the days when Obama would fill out a NCAA bracket which I thoroughly enjoyed !
@@jstube36 You know what I remember about that 24-3 Dallas SB win 36 ? The great Bob Lilly chasing Bob Griese all over that New Orleans stadium and sacking him for the biggest sack in SB history for -29 yards. Man; that was classic ! I disliked the Cowboys because I was a 49ers fan in those days, but I always respected Dandy Don, Lilly, Walt Garrison and Bullet Bob Hayes !
I was too little to recall these years, but I certainly knew the names of many of these players in the seventies and afterward. People complain and whine too much about today's game, celebrations, uniforms, etc. That has nothing to do with the quality of the players or the game itself. Times change, and it doesn't bother me. As a broadcaster, I learned from old-school radio people who weren't big names and were not full of themselves. For TV, Summerall especially was always in control, professional, and unbiased. Jones was an excellent play-by-play man as well. I tell the young ones, to watch and listen to guys like these; they made the footprints for us to follow.
Harold , u hit it right on the head , the nfl was sooooo very cool back then, the sixties and the seventies were the best , the films from the old browns stadium really brings home some terrific memories.
Look at those Redskins uniforms with those helmets! That's timeless, colorful perfection!
I liked the 1970 Redskins yellow helmets with an R in place of their racist Native American image.
Their '69 uniforms looked kind of like Florida State.
@@davidcobb2693 Was a rip-off of the the Green Bay "G", as a homage to the Redskins' coach at the time, Vince Lombardi.
@@jeffreyt.steptoe5306 I did not know that, I knew Lombardi coached them, I was 4 years old in 1970, I wonder why they didn't go with "W"
@@jeffreyt.steptoe5306 Lombardi was the one who changed the helmet. He didn't live to coach while they were wearing it.
39:50 Greg Cook felt a pop in his right (throwing) shoulder after being tackled by linebacker Jim Lynch and missed the next three games. Possibly due to the limited medical technology at the time, his torn rotator cuff went undiagnosed. The rotator cuff began deteriorating after the season; during surgery, it was revealed that Cook also had a partially detached biceps muscle. After three operations proved futile, he retired. Following retirement, Cook lived in Cincinnati, and worked with United Parcel Service and with Worksite Information Network as a motivational speaker for labor unions. He was an art major at the University of Cincinnati, and continued to paint. Cook had works on display in the Ohio Governor's Mansion.
Cook's injury was also similar to that suffered by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who had surgery on his rotator cuff after the 2005-06 season Well, we know how Drew Bree's career went.
This goes to show you how fate and one play can end a promising career.
Unfortunately, Cook never recovered from having the injury that forced early retirement, as later on he lived hand to mouth. NFL FILMS has an interesting piece on that troubled part of his life. Bob Trumpy, his tight end, and friend, the NBC analyst tried to help Cook, but to no avail.
Sad injury story, as he could have been one of the great ones at qb.
Greg Cook’s story is truly one of the saddest “what could have been” stories in sports or any endeavor. RIP Quarterback Greg Cook.
the late Bill Walsh (SF 49'ers coach) has said that Cook had far more talent than anyone he had ever coached-including Joe Montana
@@jeffreyanderson3522 For sure. I remember some of his college games. He was one of the greats & would likely be in the HOF if not for the injury and career cut short.
It also speaks volumes about how medical technology has advanced over the last half century, Cook's injury ended his career, but Brees ,who suffered the same injury, was able to be "repaired" and went on to make even greater accomplishments.
These classic NFL games should be shown on the NFL Network and ESPN.
Charlie Jones was criminally undrappreciated. Loved listening to him call all those AFC playoff games on NBC.
always remember his call of the Oilers-Bills 1993 playoff game the Bills won in OT 41-38 (after trailing 35-3)
Awesome subdued game analysis. This was recorded when I was born, but I do recall Pat Sumerall and always loved his style, especially with Madden. Miss those two. Btw, I always felt Joe Kapp looks exactly like Chazz Palminteri
My man Gabriel 1969 NFL MVP...loved this era 1,000% better that what they trot out today.
If the Rams would have won a championship when Gabe was with them he would be in the HOF.

@@Stacie45 👍🏉🇺🇸
That was football 🏈 not like today’s game 😔
I really absolutely love those Houston Oilers uniforms they should've kept the silver in their color scheme it was perfect as silver or gray goes so well with blue like the Detroit Lions color scheme.
On the Redskins-Browns highlights I just noticed Sonny Jurgensen trying to throw a block 60 yards downfield at the end of Larry Brown's run😲!
The "kettledrum voice" of Charlie Jones. He was the best! I miss him.
The uniforms back then were much better....bright in color...unique
Facts.
Love the music on this one! 🎸
Love those two grew up in the 80s listening to them on NBC and CBS c.j with that you gotta love it call
Living in Nashville Tennessee watch every Saturday morning cartoon s this week in profootball man this is great all the legends thanks very much
This was way before my time but it sounds awesome! So sick of the overly dramatic announcers now as every single play is life and death crap. Thanks for saving these highlights shows 👍👍
Vince Lombardi was the head coach of the Washington Redskins in 1969. The offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals in 1969 was Bill Walsh.
Outstanding music too.
Pat Summerall and Charlie Jones.....Both attended college at the Univ. of Arkansas.....Go Hogs!
Charlie Jones started in the AFL as the voice of the Dallas Texans, the Cowboys were just there to put them out of business. Which they forced them to move to Kansas City.
Weekend morning highlights, electric football, plastic bubble gum machine team helmets, original green nerf football that was hard from being left in the rain, begging for and getting a heavy kicking tee, toy football uniforms with shoulder pads and helmet, 2 legged goal posts, the smell of mud and getting bitched at for destroying school clothes.
Childhood in the projects...we were so lucky
Brief clip at 15:01 of Chuck Noll on the Steelers sideline in his first year as the new coach. Things would change for the Steelers in the coming years.
11:47 beautiful 68’Dodge Charger..
In the movie Bullitt, I actually liked the black '68 Charger more than Steve McQueen's Mustang.
The old Denver Broncos are interesting. I've seen their 1969 highlights video, as well. There's something about the Lou Saban coached Broncos teams (1967-1971) and that era of football that makes up for the unspectacular won-loss record for those seasons. (If it wasn't for the violence of the play of Bills players Cookie Gilchrist and Mike Stratton, and the later over-focus on offense on O.J. Simpson, I'd tend to love Saban's years coaching the Bills, as well, and nominate him for one of the greatest coaches of all time.)
Specifically, regarding the old Broncos, watching 1969 Broncos videos, makes it very clear to me, that in terms of outstanding attitude, athleticism, and long career, both pre-Orange Crush and during the famed Orange Crush defense, 1969 rookie safety Billy Thompson can't be matched; an awesome player, maybe deserving of the HOF even before Gradishar.
Additionally, the absolutely outstanding Denver Bronco who's the least remembered and honored today, may very well be wide receiver Al Denson. He had great statistics in his seasons with the team, and his TD pass in this video's game versus the Bills is shown twice and given special attention by Charlie Jones.
I just remember, spending most of my entire life in Denver, Channel 2 sportscaster was Mike Haffner, the 1969 videos, including this one, show him as a reasonably successful wide receiver for at least the 1969 Broncos, and with some great plays.
Lastly, how ironic to see the Bills receiver for several seasons, Haven Moses, burn the Broncos in this game, but later become one of the most famous wide receivers in Broncos history, having, just for example, a world-class receiving game in the famous 1977 AFC Championship game victory over the Raiders.
Saban was good , he just got a lot of bad breaks.
Great insight, Paul! I thought the name "Haven Moses" sounded familiar. It was before I was old enough to watch, but I've read some Broncos history. I became a Broncos fan in 1979.
Excellent post. From a lifelong 60 year old Bronco fan.
Thompson was the leader of a secondary which included Louis Wright and Steve Foley who roamed the Bronco secondary for many years passing the torch to Dennis Smith and Steve Atwater
The Broncos' defensive line, especially Rich Jackson and Paul Smith, was not too bad either. Neither was Floyd Little, who was practically their entire offense.
Joe Kapp threw for 7 touchdowns in that game against the Colts.
Rick Volk(Safety, #21 for the Baltimore Colts) was a great player, should be in Canton.
Chargers were a good team in 1969. And, amazing, the way the Bengals handled the Chiefs. Oilers' uniforms were killer. The way Detroit's defensive front ran down Tarkenton was almost funny. They were on him so fast.
Loved the way N.F.L. players played back "In the day"
They really wanted to kill each other
Always cool to spike the ball on the 2 yard line. 28:45
Every play would be some sort of penalty in today’s game . This is when football was a mans sport.
Now it's a whining ignoramus sport.
And back then they played in the weather as high schools & colleges still do. None of these sissy domes. Football is an outdoor sport.
@@muffs55mercury61
Back then NFL teams played in mixed-use stadiums that were bare-bones and not set up to cater to corporate clients.
If a city is going to be blackmailed into using taxpayer funds for a modern billion-dollar stadium, it better be usable

People seem to forget that it was in the 60s where pro sports athletes first ventured into social activism.
@@TheLAGopher They may have, but I don't remember it. And, certainly not this "Woke" preaching of misinformation and lectures about how America is bad, and how cops are targeting groups of people to kill, based on race, and so on, and so forth.
It's why no one is watching it like they once did. Ratings are in the dumper. Not to mention the NFL rule changes which took the steam out of the game. For a guy who makes $11-million a year to claim that players are treated like; "a piece of property," is just plain stupid. And, what Country is it that allows individuals to hone their talents and use them to make the kind of money these players make? To say America is, "racist," and, "oppressive," is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, especially from guys who have just proven that it isn't. This is not a political site, though, so excuse me.
It was good to see Piccolo.
Very nice catch and RAC on that play.
Those skins unis are gold
I like just about all of em better than those around now
Vince Lombardi initiated the change before he died
When I was a kid I loved watching these shows. Running full speed into the goal post left a few men feeling like wile E coyote!
how could the Eagles not bring back those helmets?
Two true professionals with University of Arkansas roots. Pat played for the Razorbacks. Charlie, himself born in Fort Smith, received his law degree at the University in Fayetteville.
Every teams uniform completely blows away what we have today which is pure crap.
Was thinking the exact same as I watched....
Notice the shade of blue used on all the teams that used blue in their color scheme. No navy blue in sight. All light blue. Navy blue is so overused and ugly to me.
All of the uniforms were a lot better than now.
Only the Bears wore navy blue back then.
I love these films!!!!!!!!!!
The Butkus Photo LOL!!!!!! Classic!
The Vikings’ victory was the start of a 12-game winning steak, the longest in pro football history since the 1934 Bears won all 13 of their regular season games before losing to the Giants in the NFL championship.
16:14 RIP Jack Kemp.....Would have been a good President.
I was 10 in 1969. Football was great in those years. Today it's pretty much garbage. Players back then played for the love of the game but today it's called a business. Soo sad
Perfectly-played and deviously-played onside kick at 42:06, which would work in today's game. After replaying it many times, I've concluded that the perfection of the kick itself exceeds the devious nature of the play.
Gloster Richardson #30 who caught the ball was five yards offsides on that play
I feel like it's impossible to be of the opinion to both love these old games and appreciate the game now. I'm not gonna delude myself into believing the game and players today isn't impressive as hell. I do miss when games didn't take 5 hours to play and have a commercial break every 3 plays, however
Loved this program, never followed the AFL...
The Larry Stallings play crushed my 10 year old soul.
Hi I'm Pat Summerall and this is the twilight zone
Man does this take me back to when the game really was great , even the announcers were tops . Charlie Jones and Pat Sumerall were fabulous. This was the years the jets went on to win it all yes ?
year before was the Jets year. This season the Chiefs won it all (although they lost in this week to Cincy-best known for the Greg Cook injury)
Loved seeng the new orleans saints cheer leaders 31:08 chasing the little cowboys mascot around!!
Simple yet sharp uniforms. Not like the ad agency nonsense of today's game. Only the Cowboys, Colts and Steelers retained the old-style.
What about the Packers and Bears and to a small extent, the Giants?
Recent Giants teams have some similarity in uniform to their ancesters in the 1960s, esp with the NY helmet..
Steelers gotta get back to the block #s style
The Raiders uniforms and helmet logo have not changed since 1963, they did go with silver numbers on their white road jerseys during the 1970 season, the Cowboys added a red crown stripe to their helmets during the 1976 season
Nobody designed those uniforms with the idea of selling them to middle-aged men in those days. Little kids used to be the only
guys wearing baseball caps off the field. Men wore men's clothing, not t-shirts, jerseys, or jeans.
Concussion at 5:34! I love old time football!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks as if he really got his bell rung,didn't it!
Wk #2. The week that launched/turned around the Vikings fortunes that yr. That is, up until the Super Bowl. Where they got out-coached, and out-muscled by the Chiefs 23-7. One wonders what would've happened if Kapp didn't go for the FA mkt $$$ and sign with the Pats in 1970. Would the Vikes gone on to face the Colts again in '71 SB instead of the cowboys who, the Vikings crunched 54-17 during the season? Old time Vike fans will wonder....lol.
umm.....umm... it was 54-13...sorry to correct you....so sorry.....umm.....soooo sorry......vikings fan......i rooted for them vs the 49ers.....yes, they had no chance....i'm sorry your team has always been an abortion......
@@graciemaemarie11jones16
The Vikings have always been an abortion in Super Bowls in the 70s and championship games ever since. But they had
to be a great franchise to even be in the position of choking in so many big games.
They are a very successful regular season franchise with 16 division titles since 1970. In fact, they are the best franchise since the merger that never won a title.
@@TheLAGopher u t right...they werent an abortion...they werean AFTERBIRTH...0 to 51....the pinkies never ever scored a single point ever in the SB....ZERO to 51....abortion? nah....AFTERBIRTH....HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHALOL LOL LOL LOL ....HAHA HA HAHA HA HA LOL 0.......5.....1.......0-51....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Man, San Diego Stadium (as it was called at the time) looked amazing. I don't know why they felt they had to expand that stadium to the eyesore it was today. Yes, I know, Super Bowl 22, but still....what a waste.
Actually it's still a beautiful field. The structure could've used some renovating. The thing is it only seats about 70,000. Today that number is obsolete. Simply because the game is so huge. The Chargers had a tremendous following. But the reason the Chargers left was because we refused to pay over half the price(which was $1.5 billion)for a Downtown Stadium. The charge for parking alone would've been insane. So we said thanks but no thanks. That's why they play in LA.
Notice the Dodge CHARGERS sitting behind the endzones. Since Chrysler which advertised a lot on NBC, particularly Bob Hope's old show, brought the AFL too, I wonder if the car was named after the team.
All, I remember was that the Dodge Fever girl Pam Austin was hotter than a firecracker on the sun..lol..and she introduced the Charger on their TV spots/ads.
David Parada Yes, I remember growing up occasionally watching the Chargers host the Jets @ San Diego Stadium (I was born near Shea Stadium, so you had to be a NY fan) and when the Padres host the Mets on occasion. What pisses me off now is the fact that Chargers abandon their place for their 'original' home.
Believe me, I will not get used to call the San Diego Chargers the 'Los Angeles Chargers'. Can't do it.
I think the Chargers wanted to move. The Spanos family is plenty wealthy enough to finance a quality stadium. But they wanted the taxpayers to pay for most of it. So we told them hell no. Again that's why they're in LA. That's why the 49ers play in Santa Clara. And that's why the Raiders are headed to Nevada. I'm sure saying Vegas Raiders will be strange for a bit. Then again it does have a nice ring to it.
Too bad us Americans don't care about history, especially sports history as it relates to architecture. The Chargers never won a championship at Qualcomm, they were still at Balboa Stadium when they won their AFL Championship. But there was some history in Mission Valley. I still like to go there for Aztecs games, and I am sad the AAF folded so quickly since I made it to one Fleet game and it was a good time. Have to bow down and worship the almighty dollar.
Minnesota's victory over Baltimore (1:50) was a grudge match from the season before when the Colts had defeated the Vikings in the playoffs. Minnesota's QB Joe Kapp has said he used that game to motivate him in this regular season game. Kapp subsequently went out and three 7 TD passes. I always wondered what Kapp would have done in 1970 in the Vikings home opener against the KC Chiefs if he had resigned in the off season (especially since the Chiefs beat the Vikings in SB IV)
he probably would have his shoulder 'massaged' just like aaron brown did to him...lol...
total halftime score....vikings 0....opponents 51....0-51....lol lol lol lol lol pinkies never got inside the KC 39 in SB 4....HAHAHA...0-51....ZERO......5.,...1....lol lol lol
@@graciemaemarie11jones16 that's funny because the Vikings hammered the Chiefs in their home opener in 1970 (27-10) with a Gary Cuozzo who wasn't nearly as talented as Kapp. So logic says Kapp would have totally destroyed the Chiefs.
8:30 When people talk about the Raiders of the late 60's and 70's and their receivers you always hear about Fred Biletnikoff and Cliff Branch, almost never about Warren Wells. He had a brief career but for a few years he was really good.
At the end of his career Warren Wells had the professional football record for yards per catch, 23.1, until the NFL changed the criteria to a minimum of 200 receptions, Wells caught 158 passes, had he stayed out of trouble with the law he should have achieved his 200th catch during the 1971 season, his 1968, 1969 and 1970 receptions total was, 53, 47 and 43, an average of almost 47 passes caught per year. He also had a very high percentage rate of touchdowns per catch.
@Michael Logan And you can prove this how?
@Michael Logan I don't know more about him than what I have seen on highlight films. There have been a lot of pro football players over the years who have not exactly been Boy Scouts, in fact the Raiders have made it part of their image to be bad boys. It was a big part of the reason the NFL would not let them relocate back to LA, LA street gangs adopted the Raiders for their image and the NFL didn't want that.
@Michael Logan he was a mess.
@@davidcobb2693 because his career ended because of ' off the field problems' read between the lines...he was a mess.
Love this.
Perfectly stated
That's the strangest Pick 6 in. NFL History!!!
gary garrison was as good if not better than any receiver in football in 68, 69, and 70. by 69, he was clearly better than alworth
Alworth was fantastic!!!
I always wish we had a time machine and could match up teams from different eras. Play some teams from 50 years ago against teams from today. How would the best team from 1969, the Chiefs, match up against modern teams at various levels? We know they wouldn't stack up against the best NFL teams from 2019. How would the 1969 Chiefs do against the worst NFL team of 2019? How would they do against the best college teams, like 2019 Clemson or Alabama?
Chiefs defense in '69 would be just fine today. It was arguably the greatest defense of all time. Six Hall-of-Famers, and that's not counting Jerry Mays, Aaron Brown and Jim Lynch.
@@kevinhurd4258 John Madden said great players would be great in any era.

How 'bout those Vikings?
I'm amazed that 50 years ago professional football games were being played on baseball fields, only one such atrocity continues in Oakland to this day.
Snake Stabler will arrive in Oakland nxt season.
A bunch of these games, including the Kansas City - Cincinnatti game, were from week three. The Chiefs beat the crap out of the Bills in week two.
Indeed the KC-Cincy game was one of the major games of that year as the Bengals suffered a huge blow with Greg Cook's injury. He stays healthy and who knows what happens?
This is Week 3.
They were lucky in those days that somebody wasn't killed or seriously injured with those goal posts! 😞
A few guys got clonged along the way. What was amazing was how long it took them to decide to move them back. They were at the back line for college football for many years before the pros got around to employing common sense and following suit.
That's why it's 1969!!!
After you win a Super Bowl ,unless you upgrade your team ,you will be the target of HUMILIATION for every opposing team the next season.Some teams - like the Vikings and the Bills,never learned the upgrading process. Oh,they had back to back Super Bowl appearances - but they never won the Lombardi.The Jets never made it back to the big stage after beating the Colts.
Obviously the absolute best at that process is Belichick. Brady is good but he is not the most important factor in the Patriots run.
This team is slot like 2 teams today
this isn't week 2
This week in pro football.
Ben Hawkins of the Eagles never tied his chin strap
In 69 the Vikings,Rams,Cowboys, and Browns were great. The Colts would suffer through a super bowl hangover. The Lions and Redskins were up and coming teams. The crappy teams were the Steelers,Bears,Eagles, and Saints. In the AFL the Chiefs,Raiders, and Jets were real good. The Oilers and Chargers were so so. The Patriots,Bills, and Dolphins were awful. In the Dolphins case not for long because Don Shula will come in and take over.
Jim Lynch ended Greg Cook's career with that "muscle pull". Bill Walsh has stated for the record that Cook was going to be the GOAT.
15:22 Eagles QB Norm Snead blocking downfield on a running play, something you'll never see Tom Brady or any other present day QB do!
Correction plenty QB's today give blocks. Dak will deliver a few, Drew Brees, Pat Mahomes, Big Ben, Phillip Rivers, and yes once in a while even the G.O.A.T. Tom Brady. On a double-reverse it actually is a requirement. It's rare because most teams would not risk getting a starting QB hurt.
@@jstube36 Correction, Big Ben was Ben Davidson, 6' 8" or 6' 9" depending on the source, 275-190 pounds compared to Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger, 6' 5", 240, Ben Davidson was the original Big Ben. Grossly Overrated of All Time, Thomas " Tuck " Brady. Don't get me wrong, my TB 12 jab was for my Massachusetts friends because it makes them apoplectic, perhaps I will edit my comment from never to rarely. So, you're tight with Dak Prescott? Y'all are on a first name basis, that's cool for you! Rayne Dakota Prescott is his full name.
@@davidcobb2693 6'5" 240 is pretty big for a QB even by today's standards. So I would say the name fits the Steeler QB. Big Ben is not the only shared nickname. Carl Eller( HOF DE Vikings) was called Moose. But the one we all know and love with that name is Daryl Johnston. Stoneface was given to both Tom Landry and Bud Grant. The Genius was Bill Walsh, but it's a name I also give to Bill Belicheck. And tuck or no tuck G.O.A.T. IS Tom Brady. That title passed on from Joe Montana. Of course I do know Dak's full name. And I look very forward to seeing him operate the WCO(a system perfectly suited for his skillset) under Coach McCarthy. The best of Dak and America's Team(another shared moniker) is yet to come.
@@jstube36 If the Steelers QB/sometimes rapist can be called by the same nickname that was earned by one of the most feared defensive linemen of his era, then let's use your logic ( opinion ) and attach a few more unearned monikers to a few more sports heroes, or zeroes, depending on how you think, Barry " Hammer " Bonds, Roger " The Big Train " Clemens, why not? People with very little or NO knowledge of sports history won't get my sarcasm and who's in charge of distributing the Dallas Cowboys Kool-Aid that has you thinking such lofty and unattainable things like the 'pokes riding Dak to greatness?

These games are fun to watch but the quality of play is really mediocre compared to today. A good D1 high school team could beat most of these guys. Joe Kapp threw 7 TDs, was QB of the NFL champs, and was summarily traded to the worst team in the league in 1970. It’s not hard to see why...even in this “great game” he looks clumsy and awkward. Telegraphs his passes.
