I was at the Cowboys and Oilers game at the Cotton Bowl. We sat in the corner near one of the end zones. We were fairly close to the field, and what I can remember was Bob Hayes sloshing on the artificial turf as he caught one of his four touchdown passes in our end zone. It had been raining on the new artificial turf that the Cotton Bowl put out in 1970. I was nine.
@@davidmoorecatdaddy6994 Yeah. Back when the Cowboys played the Oilers the Oilers weren't very good. That would always be the Oilers SB game. The first time the Oilers beat the Cowboys in a regular season game their coach was Bum Phillips and Earl Campbell was their running back.
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.
As a kid in the 70s I grew up on this stuff! Back when you had no ESPN or FS1. All you had was local stations. We always caught this at noon every Saturday while college games were getting started. Thank you! ❤️ 🏈❤️
Those damn Lions hooked me into being a fan with that exciting season in 1970. Little did I know I was being set up for 46 years counting of utter frustration!
The team that jumps out to me is the Dolphins. The franchise was formed in 1966, and they had so much success so soon thanks to Don Shula. They went to 3 straight Super Bowls their 6th, 7th and 8th years in existence including back-to-back wins. Their combined record in 1972 and 1973 was 32-2. They were a bit overshadowed in the 70's by the Steelers but for such a new franchise they were off the charts.
I was at that Eagles/Steelers game. I recall them handing out some souvenirs (last NFL game ever at that stadium) which I believe I still have somewhere. I remember the Fuqua runs, as well as the Bradshaw punt.
I was at that Lions-Packers game at Tiger Stadium. It's so nice to see it again. It was cold and very windy that day, but we Lions fans were very warm and happy to see the Lions shut out the hated Packers and make the playoffs for the first time since 1957 (before I was born). The next week's disappointing 5-0 loss to Dallas in the mud of the Cotton Bowl would be the only Lions playoff appearance in the 25 years between 1957 and 1982. 3 Lion Hall of Famers are seen here, Dick LeBeau, Charlie Sanders, and Lem Barney.
This 1970 year was the best all around Lion team ever. Stars on both sides of the line. Only turnovers against the Cowboys in the playoff kept them from possibly being in the Super Bowl.
But "R.G.", I think that if only Bill Munson would've been inserted EARLIER into the playoff game vs. the Cowboys, the Lions would've stood a better chance than was the case with less~experienced Greg Landry; when Schmidt finally did insert Munson, very late in the game, the Lions DID move the ball & threaten Dallas, prior to Mel Renfro's big game~ending INT. Ahhh, "coulda~woulda~shoulda"!
Ken Purdy Thank-you very much for the videos. I think this was the best Detroit team they had for decades, I love Barry sanders but they could never get by Green Bay bin the Playoffs
21:12 Late hit by #57 for Boston, John Bramlett, on Virgil Carter. No flag. 22:05 Future Bengals head coach, Sam Wyche, throwing a TD pass to Paul Robinson. (this was Wyche's last year playing for Cincinnati) 22:43 Bengals' rookie DT Mike Reid (#74), who retired after only 5 years to be a songwriter. He wrote Bonnie Raitt's hit song, "I Can't Make You Love Me." (1991) 23:21 Nice move by the referee, catching up to and handing the game ball to Paul Brown before he left the field.
In the New York City area there was nothing like waiting up to 11 oclock to turn on channel 9 WOR to watch TWIPF, and during the week you would check the papercto see what time the NFL game of the week was coming on
I remember DYING to get the next week's TV Guide to see which "Close-Up"s they had on Sunday & Monday (and occasionally on Sat.) showing which NFL games would be televised. I used to cut out all of the "Close-Up"s, which showed both teams' helmets next to a list of the players and their jersey numbers. I'd write the final score and each team's record on it. Still have a pile of them somewhere, stashed away in a drawer.
I remember watching football on a B&W TV in 1970. The antenna was rabbit ears, the TV was made from tubes. I was 10 at the time, living in Brooklyn and life was fun.
Many Kansas City players admitted that the trading of Mike Garrett to San Diego hurt KC team moral as he was a very popular player both on and off the field
The Steeler game is the one where Joe Greene grabbed the ball from the line of scrimmage and threw it into the stands..... cuz he was being held too much. Wish they would have shown or mentioned that in the highlights.
21:06, Hooray, my Bengals come through in a big way to make the playoffs in only their third season in the league. With genius coach Paul Brown running the show, and superstar QB Greg Cook getting ready to come back from his injury, and young Mike Reid on the verge of becoming the NFL's dominant defensive lineman, surely they were going to be the great team of the 1970's. Anyway, I thought so. Instead it was those teams no one even thought of, the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers, while the Bengals were annual also-rans, usually finishing second behind Pittsburgh. Oh well, I loved them anyway. Notice that one of the guys carrying Paul Brown off the field was Bill Bergey, the great linebacker of the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, he started with the Bengals. Him and Paul Brown wouldn't be such good friends a few years later, when Brown was too cheap to pay him what he wanted and gave him away. That's why the Bengals became also-rans.
As a kid, I was drawn to the Bengals by both the team having the name Bengals, and by the great names that were on the team.....BEAUCHAMP, CASANOVA, TRUMPY, SPEEDY, ESSEX, ISAAC, and my all-time favorite......(drumroll).......BOOBIE CLARK!! And then I would get Lemar Parrish confused with Lem Barney of the Lions....they were both CBs, both good at returning kicks and both wore number 20.
@@johnjmartin5156 I remember Lem Barney returning a punt for a touchdown against the Bengals sometime during that 1970 season. Parrish was a great player, but since he played for the Bengals, he's not in the Hall of Fame (Barney is). Casanova was pretty good on punt returns too., I seem to remember him returning one for a touchdown vs. the Redskins around 1975 or so, but not sure. it was a long time ago, LOL. Then he retired in the middle of his career to become a surgeon, I think. And Reid quit as a young guy too to become a musician. Boobie and Essex had great years for the Bengals then both got hurt and were never any good again after that. What was it with the damned Bengals? Had great players but couldn't hold on to them! Oh well, it's easy to be a fan of a great team, but to be a Bengals fan you have to really be dedicated.
"For what seems like an eternity, loyal Detroit fans have turned out hoping to see a championship team." For cryin' out loud, that was in 1970, a mere 13 years after their last title. Now it's 50 years on, and they still haven't won a title. Damned Lions!
How often do you see a future coach tackle a future coach at 22:03, future Bengals coach Sam Wyche tackled by future coach Marty Schottenheimer (Both RIP)
This was the game that I hated the Raiders forever. The Rams defeated the New York Giants earlier in the day at Yankee Stadium and waited to see if the Forty-Niners would lose to the Raiders. The Raiders where going to the playoffs and a Forty-Niner defeated would send the Rams to the playoffs. John Madden used most of the his reserves in this game so the raiders lost. Hated the Raiders then and until this day. I'm glad they left Los Angeles and glad the Rams came back from St. Louis. 39:22
I remember how pissed my dad was back then because the local TV listing for 4 PM was San Francisco 49ers @Oakland Raiders but we got the Chiefs at Chargers game.
In Week 12 of 1970, Bart Starr and the Packers went to Three Rivers Stadium and beat the Steelers. Just the sight of the most successful QB of the '60's leading his team in the quintessential 70's stadium is cool. The Steelers losing is icing on the cake. I've seen the NFL Films coverage of that game here before, but now I can't find it...anyone know if it's still on the site?
I was there 6400az. 9 fumbles in that sloppy fumblefest. Niners' QB Brodie(the million dollar baby) scored with a little over a minute to go and the niners picked off a Viking pass at games' end when the Viqueers were 20 plus yards away from a TD. It was a real sloppy,horse shit game.
Falcons last year in black jerseys. I always liked them with the red, striped helmets, but Atlanta is a sweltering place to play football in black shirts early in the season and so they mainly wore their white road uniforms at home, also.
wait. Is that Al Bundy the referee @17:29 ? Dad took me to the last East vs West NFL Pro Bowl and yes Gale Sayers was MVP. West won in the last minute as Roman Gabriel threw a bomb to Carrol Dale for a TD. Len Barney was my fav defensive player behind DEACON JONES.
JF30 you are right if the Giants would have won I read there would have been a coin toss I think between them and Dallas for a playoff spot. Does UA-cam take off these video's after so much time?
1) Terry Bradshaw punting? - 2:45 Fortunately for football, he found another position! 2) 6:56 Summerall: "Much to the delight of Cowboy head coach Tom Landry." Landry looks like the same as if he just came out of a supermarket. :-D
Detroit's Lem Barney (13:34) has now said that in light of revelations about brain injuries resulting from football, he would not play football if he had the chance to live his life over again and predicted that the game of football would be gone in another 20 years unless equipment is developed that lessens that chances of brain injury
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!!!!
@@Mike-yg8ig ok, a couple of home gms in Nov, then Decmbr, maybe a playoff game in Jan with home advantage; all of those 5, maybe 6 gms probably won't be blzzrd, sub temp gms either; unless you're a season ticketer, you're not going to all of those games anyway,! The Golphers had to play in a whiteout there a couple years ago, the fans and players all lived through it.
Question: you gave 4 teams that had no acceptable reason to change their home fields into domed stadiums. Are you suggesting that in your opinion other teams CAN have an acceptable reason for doing it? (just asking out of curiosity). I would have to presume that from the owner's perspective, it is done to sell more tickets to.. (ahem...) "Fair Weather" fans.
A bad call on the Giants in their game against the Saints, earlier in the year, cost them the game - and 10-4 record. Don Herrman caught the ball, with control, inside the end zone stripe, but not so, said the official. Saints played them tough, but it should have been a New York win. Replays showed the call to be incorrect.
emmitt thomas, so overrated...garrison simply torched him...as bob hayes did in october...how is thomas in the hof, and not his offensive team mate, otis taylor??? and this is coming from a chiefs fan.
Two different players and positions. One was a cornerback while the other a wide receiver. Now as for Otis Taylor. What the dumb hall of fame committee will tell you is that when he's thought of to be inducted,he has other more deserving players ahead of him year after year it seems. As for my opinion,there are way many players in the hall of fame who should never have been picked ahead of Otis Taylor.
David Steinle Are you going to give us the answer or do we keep guessing? I could look up the Results of the schedule. I always stayed up to watch the MNF halftime highlights. I don't remember TWIPF NFL
lamonica=loser...half the season, blanda had to bail him out...without george, the raiders woulda been 6-8. this was a horrible year for the great, ahem, afl....chiefs got pounded by minny, dallas, oakland....raiders got pounded by niners, lions on thanksgiving...jets got beat twice by colts...giants... browns on 1st monday night game ever...chargers were MURDERED by the rams...the old afl teams were HUMILIATED by the old nfl, and i'm a big AFL fan...chiefs fan...this year really opened my eyes...it started in preseason, when the packers DESTROYED the raiders, 37-7....wiped the floor with the raiders in oakland..wiped the floor with them....wiped the floor with them....fred carr ran wild...wiped the floor with the mighty, ahem, afl power, raiders.....in oakland.....this opened my eyes, as now i doubted the jets and chiefs super bowl wins....were they FLUKES??
Last game for the Falcons in their original red hat/black shirt duds. I miss that look! Some Falcons fans want to go all black - NOT ME. I'd be OK with either red/black or black/red. Black/black is Loserville colors from Jerry "I'm Personal Friends With Elvis" Glanville days. What a loser!
In 1970, every AFC-NFC regional rivalry was played (Oilers-Cowboys, Steelers-Eagles, 49ers-Raiders) EXCEPT one. Trivia: Which regional rivals from opposite conferences did not play in 1970?
I think its absolutely tragic that Oakland is now moving to Las Vegas--why can't the city of Oakland demand that the name "Raiders" be kept in Oakland when the team moves? when the Cleveland Browns were moved to Baltimore the city of Cleveland kept the name "Browns" and ultimately when they got a new team they could be names "Browns"---maybe Oakland can do the same??
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

+gatesbrown26 if only eddie murray had made that died goal against SF in 1983 playoffs.
+Owen Burnett ehhh, they would have just had to go play the Skins in DC. The Skins owned the Lions for 30 years.
+gatesbrown26 RIP Monte Clark. Solid coach. The sight of him praying before that field goal attempt is maybe the most memorable image of the game.
+Owen Burnett they undoubtedly had maybe their best running attack of all time with Billy Sims and James Jones. Great D, too.
Lions best RB tandem was barry sanders and everyone/anyone else in backfield.
I love Summerall's sarcasm about "an overjoyed Tom Landry!"
Tom Landry, the definition of stoic!!!!!
Sarcasm for each segment.Great delivery by Pat and Tom.

11:05 The very rare 12 step drop.... Lem Barney was one of my favorite players when I was a kid. What a talent!
Great watching the pros of this era. Make a great play and flip the ball to the ref with no boasting
They were true professionals and their code of conduct was, "Act like you've been there before"
This is when football was football!!!
Bobby Linning I agree totally I'd rather watch 1967 1975 if I could
Totally enjoyed this series.
And men were men and women were women.
The old stadiums were the BEST
@@scottlowman.1044 (singing) Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again...
Still can’t get over Johnny Fuquas 218 yard performance . Simply mind boggling
Recalled when "Dr. Bob Hartley" and "Dr. Jerry Robinson" joked about Cancannon on the 1970's "The Bob Newhart Show"(LOL).
Stupidest trades the 1960s Bears made getting Concannon for Ditka and trading rookie QB Virgil Carter. who was five and o even as a rookie
As a long suffering Lions fan, this video is fantastic to watch.!
Ya Lions pretty much perinnial suck.

Hi Al I was wondering if you have seen a lot of games at Tiger Stadium
david graham is right. The Cotton Bowl had artificial turf called astroturf starting in 1970.

I was a young kid at this time and I never missed an episode of TWIPF.
This 1970 year was the best all around Lion team ever. Stars on both sides of the line. Only turnovers against the Cowboys in the playoff kept them from possibly being in the Super Bowl.
Yes, that Lion team finally had a good offense to go along with that outstanding defense.

I like the shows of today but not as much as the oldies. Great memories.
It's amazing that 3 of the best Lions of all time all wore #20 (Barney, Sims, & Sanders) only retired in Sanders name though
football was amazing back then

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!!!!
The Regional Rival that did not play each other was Jets be Giants..I think
Giants and Jets played each other in 1970 at Shea Stadium
By 1970 the Jets were a shadow of their former selves.
Not too many remember the Giants were a winning team in 1970; first place heading into the final week then bust
GRTS 72 it was blacked out too. Remember listening to the game on the radio. WNEW
a very frustrating day, didn't reach the playoffs til '81

The Golphers had to play in a whiteout there a couple years ago, the fans and players all lived through it.
Question: you gave 4 teams that had no acceptable reason to change their home fields into domed stadiums. Are you suggesting that in your opinion other teams CAN have an acceptable reason for doing it? (just asking out of curiosity). I would have to presume that from the owner's perspective, it is done to sell more tickets to.. (ahem...) "Fair Weather" fans.
Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshire.
If Sonny had started in Super Bowl VII, they might've spoiled the 'Perfect Season'...
I always liked Pat Summerall much more as a narrator of highlight films than as a play-by-play announcer.
The 1970 playoff game Detroit lions vs Dallas cowboys December,1970 video does anybody know where it is?

The whole game from CBS TV is available on UA-cam
A bad call on the Giants in their game against the Saints, earlier in the year, cost them the game - and 10-4 record. Don Herrman caught the ball, with control, inside the end zone stripe, but not so, said the official. Saints played them tough, but it should have been a New York win. Replays showed the call to be incorrect.
emmitt thomas, so overrated...garrison simply torched him...as bob hayes did in october...how is thomas in the hof, and not his offensive team mate, otis taylor??? and this is coming from a chiefs fan.
Two different players and positions. One was a cornerback while the other a wide receiver. Now as for Otis Taylor.
What the dumb hall of fame committee will tell you is that when he's thought of to be inducted,he has other more deserving players ahead of him year after year it seems.
As for my opinion,there are way many players in the hall of fame who should never have been picked ahead of Otis Taylor.
@@stolis51 yeah,like lynn swann
So weird seeing the Steelers in white pants and not gold.
David Steinle Are you going to give us the answer or do we keep guessing? I could look up the Results of the schedule. I always stayed up to watch the MNF halftime highlights. I don't remember TWIPF NFL

Today's players would be crying if they had to play in the mud.
Terry Bradshaw putting
they would adapt . good players now could play then , good players then could play now. smaller rosters less teams therefore harder to make it
Howevvahh in todays world they would gladly kneel in the mud instead of happily performing for paying fans
lamonica=loser...half the season, blanda had to bail him out...without george, the raiders woulda been 6-8. this was a horrible year for the great, ahem, afl....chiefs got pounded by minny, dallas, oakland....raiders got pounded by niners, lions on thanksgiving...jets got beat twice by colts...giants... browns on 1st monday night game ever...chargers were MURDERED by the rams...the old afl teams were HUMILIATED by the old nfl, and i'm a big AFL fan...chiefs fan...this year really opened my eyes...it started in preseason, when the packers DESTROYED the raiders, 37-7....wiped the floor with the raiders in oakland..wiped the floor with them....wiped the floor with them....fred carr ran wild...wiped the floor with the mighty, ahem, afl power, raiders.....in oakland.....this opened my eyes, as now i doubted the jets and chiefs super bowl wins....were they FLUKES??
Last game for the Falcons in their original red hat/black shirt duds. I miss that look! Some Falcons fans want to go all black - NOT ME. I'd be OK with either red/black or black/red. Black/black is Loserville colors from Jerry "I'm Personal Friends With Elvis" Glanville days. What a loser!
The amount of spongbob I hear is incredible
21:19 massively dirty hit
Stop it..
In 1970, every AFC-NFC regional rivalry was played (Oilers-Cowboys, Steelers-Eagles, 49ers-Raiders) EXCEPT one. Trivia: Which regional rivals from opposite conferences did not play in 1970?
Chiefs vs Cardinals?
The Redskins and Colts did not play each other.
Buffalo v NY Giants?
Lionel Witherspoon St Louis v Kansas City?
I would say New York Giants vs New York jets jet jets
@1:00 what a sorry ass “defender” #21 of the Eagles smh
I think its absolutely tragic that Oakland is now moving to Las Vegas--why can't the city of Oakland demand that the name "Raiders" be kept in Oakland when the team moves? when the Cleveland Browns were moved to Baltimore the city of Cleveland kept the name "Browns" and ultimately when they got a new team they could be names "Browns"---maybe Oakland can do the same??
Because the Davis family own the name, colors and emblem. Art Modell didn't.
Goofy Redskins' helmet that they made just for Lombardi taking over as coach can be seen behind the broadcasters.
ESPN Classic was a great concept, but their “pop-ups” were and are irritating
JILLS went 0 FOR THE SEVENTIES against MIAMI.
The Raiders wide receiver Warren Wells ended up sacrificing his career because of sexual assault allegations.
Phil Bengston's Packers were just a collection of Has-been Hall of Famers and bad players who had a drunk for a coach.
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
So the Vikings n Falcons played in the goo last game 2 years in a row 69 being worse hehe
Yes 2 years in a row only in 1970 the Vikings won this time
Murdered in 1982 47:46
Even worse than Joe Theismans 7 yard punt 2:43
You meant Terry Bradshaw.
I think we got our wires crossed. I'm comparing Bradshaw's punt here, to Theisman punt . Remember he had a 7 yarder in the early 80's.
