I was 9 yrs old in December, 1967 and our whole family of 6 began watching this game on TV huddled around a large heat grate in our living room floor in South Charleston, W. Va. It was my first NFL game I'd watched beginning to end and by late in the 4th quarter it was just me and my dad watching as Bart Starr plunged into the end zone. My dad told me later there was no way any other team again would win 3 NFL Championships in a row again like the Pack did that day. A few months later, I wrote to Bart Starr and he sent back an autographed 8" x 10" glossy black n white action pic. R I P, dad and Bart Starr.
My version of that game was the SB between KC and Minnesota. (The house was warm ). Even as a Bear's fan I was hoping for a rematch on the 50th anniversary.
I still have a piece of the goal post from the Ice Bowl. My Grandpa was at the game and got a piece of it and gave it to me many years ago. I feel so thankful to have grown up in Green Bay. Going to Packers practice every day as a young boy. Having the players ride my bike while I held their helmet and pads after practice. I got Jerseys, gloves, wristbands, quarterback hand towel from Favre, and so many signatures from the players through the 90s. The homecoming super bowl parade in 1997 when the Packers won the Super Bowl. Going to so many games as a young man. Shoveling the stadium when it snowed a lot. It was just a beautiful time and such a special era.
@@EdenDaBooty It really was awesome. I lived close enough to Lambeau that I could ride my bike there. The team practiced at the Don Hutson center which was across the street from the stadium, but the locker room was at the stadium. So there was the huge stadium parking lot and street to cross to get to the practice field. Some kids would do as I did and let players ride your bike as you carried their pads. Particularly if you had pegs on the bike so you could ride as they peddled. And some of the players loved riding instead of walking, so I had a few stints with several players who would specifically look for me. I remember Dorsey Levens being one of them. I had bike riding with Leroy Butler for a couple weekends and one day rode was Dorsey. It caused a funny fued where they'd both try to get to me first and playfully trash talk each other when the one who didn't get to me first had to walk. It's a shame what happened when Darren Sharper because he was another regular for a summer. My previous favorite player "Sterling Sharp" was no longer playing and I saw a new rookie with "Sharper" and because it was close to Sharp, I offered him a ride. He was a nice guy. Maybe different experiences and interact with several other players, but I'll end because this is already way too long. Sorry about that. Haha
These men back then were REALLY some tough men ! I remember coming downstairs (where the T.V. was) in the third quarter and my Dad watching and getting into this Game (chewing the heck out of a bag of pretzels..lol) I was 8yrs.old and he told me to sit down and watch this game. I did because it was the reason my Dad went out and bought a "Color T.V." 🤣 I was in awe...and was hooked in watching playoff Championships and Superbowls !! R.I.P Dad....and R.I.P Bart Starr a true gentleman and also R.I.P Mr. Lombardi
Yes, greatest game of all time.55 years now of being a loyal Packers fan. They were my hero's. This is how legends are born. Pardon me...RIP Mr. Lombardi and Mr. Starr.
I was 15... and a Packer fan since I was 9... As I remember it, there were any number of times, when Pack faced 3rd & long... I watched the sideline & and the markings on the field, to know IF they made a 1st down... the heart was beating so hard... And Starr called the plays in that final march to a win... IMHO, Starr is/was one the VERY BEST EVER, who never got the recognition, for all he did... Played in 6 championship games, won 5, then the first 2 Super Bowls... and of course 3 in a row...
@Tony Preston Not quite. January 2, 1982 between the Chargers and Dolphins in an AFC Divisional Playoff game at the old Orange Bowl is STILL the greatest game ever. Chargers went out to a 24-0 lead before the Dolphins stormed back to take a 38-31 lead before the Chargers came back with Kellen Winslow, Sr. in spite of severe cramps and dehydration being carried off the field twice blocked what would have been the game-winning field goal for the Dolphins at the end of regulation with the Chargers winning on OT 41-38. THAT is the greatest game of all time.
@@WaltGekko ~ That was indeed a great game, but let's not discount the 1958 championship battle between the Colts and the Giants. Widely considered the greatest game in football history.
@Tony Preston In my opinion, The Ice Bowl was the greatest NFL game ever played. I know there were a few other incredible NFL games but in lieu of these conditions the Cowboys & Packers played in and the last drive of the game by the Packers makes this the best NFL game of all time.
I was 12 years old and watched the game with my late Father. After this game I always thought this was how football games where to be played. The worst the weather the more fun you had. Snow, bitter cold and rain. Loved it !!!

December 31, 1967. I am writing this on Dec 31, 2019. So it was exactly 52 years ago. Hard to believe. I watched it with my dad. We were rooting for the Pack. Thanks for posting this. YT is great.
I watched it with my father too the thing I remember is the referee blew his whistle to start the game and it was so cold that the metal pulled skin off of his lips. The game had to be delated so the referees got vasaline for their lips. He refed the game growing a gradual blood sickle. In addition to watching the game we both played find Dracula.
I've bn a Cowboy fan since 1965..I watched that replay, Jethro Pugh's foot slipped in the ice and allowed Starr's TD..it was shown, clearly, that he slipped backwards from the 'wedge' play that only Bart and Lombardi knew about..that was the worst conditions possible, below zero and a field of ice..should've postponed it until the weather improved a bit.it proved nothing except getting attention for the NFL..Even the Packers admitted we likely had the better team in '67..Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung and a few others were gone by then..one time that our complex offense worked against us..
Just watched this with my grandson, I was in the 4th row in the end zone that Bart Starr scored the touchdown. It was exciting that day and today was awesome for my grandson who is 6 to see the historic game. I took him to Lambeau Field last summer. Go Pack Go.
I was 13 watching this game with my Dad- Oh how I recall it! Thank you. Brings back nice family memories of me and Dad watching football every Sunday together.
I was 14 years old when I watched this game with my whole family ( Dad, Mom, 2 older brothers and two older sisters) in Milwaukee. There was no way anyone in my family missed a Packer game short of a emergency! Ray Nitschke was my biggest Packer hero then, and still today at 68 years old. He had such a storied Packer life on and off the field during his playing time then, and after as a writer for the Packer paper. “Don’t let me down”, he meant that for the Packer offense then, and it still egos today in my mind for my current Packers! This game was a measure of heart and sole of both teams that day, no yield to the elements of death gripping cold we still feel in Wisconsin at times. Today as I write this it’s a wind chill of 29 degrees below outside! God bless both of those Teams, for there were no losers on that field or in the stands that day, only winners and lovers of our greatest game!!
Chris, Don Meredith was a great quarterback, and especially in those conditions. Brutal. I remember the game very well. I wonder how Roger Staubach would have performed in that same situation.
Bart Statr..a true r superstar that is never mentioned in conversation today...that last drive to win the ice bowl was iconic done in absolutely horrible conditions and against a great football team...RIP Bart...u will live in my heart forever...glad that Jerry Kramer finally made the HOF..
I had a good friend over and we were watching different highlights. I asked him if he ever seen the “ICE BOWL”? We watched and split a pizza 🍕! He said: “I sure like these old games a lot more than what they play now!” Fun 🎉and entertaining.
Saw this game when I was 13. Boy, what a game! I'll always remember it to my dying day. My buddies and I quit sledding early so that we could all go home and watch it. Since then, I've always liked to watch games played in ice and snow. They're better than anything you see today.
I was 17 and I wish I had stayed and watched the game with my dad ☹️ He was so good. Did everything around the house and cars. He ended up building two houses for us down south and they’re beautiful and still standing tall. One was an auction for 100x100 property for $40 !!! My dad grabbed that one and built a house, with help from an electrician friend. My daughter bought it after my dad passed. So she has my parents house and I have my mother’s house. Life is sad but good 💗💔
Packer fan here, from Milwaukee who went to season ticket games with my Dad in the 80s at County Stadium - but only the cold ones my Mom didn’t want… Now I’m in Arizona, and watching this today made me bite all the nails off my frostbitten fingers. Go Pack Go!
A great game, if not the greatest, ever played. It had all of the ingredients for an epic battle. Two teams of titans, lead by iconic coaches, playing in brutal conditions, with everything on the line, gave fans, The Ice Bowl.
To Bart Starr, One Of My Childhood Heroes, Thank You For The Memories. It meant So Much. May You Win Another Super Bowl In Heaven With Vince. Rest In Peace.
Thank You mr.moody for posting this.Today I believe the game would be postponed. Dallas played heroically (being a southern team)and though they lost in the final minute,there wild polarizing popularity started here in this game.The 70's they became America's team,but,the ice bowl is were their popularity started imho. players from both teams deserve credit for playing as well as they did. This is the greatest game in NFL history. Epic in Miami in 1981 playoffs is great as well.
I was cold watching this sitting in front of a fireplace. I was fortunate enough to meet Bart 20 years later. Perfect gentlemen. I have his autograph on an envelope tucked away. Never dreamed I would meet him in my lifetime. RIP Mr. Starr!
A very good question. I was in seventh grade and didn’t know that much about football. A guy in my class, who I didn’t much care for, knew a great deal about football, and was a huge Packers fan. Leading up to the game, I tried to learn as much as I could about the sport. I chose to root for the Cowboys because they were the upstart team, playing against football royalty. Don Meredith, Bob Hayes, and Lance Rentzel were not cut from the traditional mold. They also weren’t the Packers. After the loss, I had to eat crow to the guy in my class, but the game had been such a good one. Once you pick a team, you wind up sticking with them, and I guess I have, for better or worse.
Many years ago, I worked out in the oilfields in west Texas at -11°! I had a warm coat, gloves and thermal underwear on and I still thought I was going to freeze to death! Yikes, for what these guys went thru!
I was 11 yrs old and respected all NFL players for their dedication, integrity, sacrifice and love of the game! Glad I was able to experience what these generations can’t! So thru with the NFL nowadays for their disrespect of our Nation, Military, police and our President of These United States of America! 🇺🇸
I was 10 years old. This was the first time I had anxiety over a packer game that they might have lost. Had many years of disappointment after this, but the glory of that moment still makes me smile today. Greatest game in history.
Rip Bart. I was 9. Never forget watching this game. I miss this game. I’m not sure what they’re playing today. Ray Scott “Starr to dowler touchdown “. Listen to the respect of players to their coaches.
This game is the definition of mental toughness. The greatest game in NFL history in my opinion due to the insanely brutal weather conditions and the game coming down to basically the very last play. Congrats to Jerry Kramer for finally making it into the HOF literally decades after he should've been inducted. His block on Bart Starr's QB sneak is probably the greatest block in NFL history. I'm not a Packers or Cowboys fan but what a great football game that was
Here's a reminder that Bart Starr was not only a great Hall of Famer but a man of class as well. Something we could see more in this day and age of NFL football.
I lived in the mid South back then in a standard modern suburban ranch house . I my Dad, and his friends watched this in the lving room and although we had heat, those houses could still be drafty. Yes we were freezing when watching it because a cold snap had gripped a good deal of the Nation . Perfect ambience for this classic game . Bart Starr's gamble and the weather helped push this into forever memories and immortality .
The entire last drive is masterfully executed. It should be shown to all coaches as a lesson in simple fundamental football execution. Nothing fancy, no trick plays, just basic execution of simple plays. Short passes, draws, outlet passes, and of course the perfectly executed sneak. Chuck Mercein's big plays, the unsung hero. Under those ice cold conditions, its a thing of beauty. And I'm not a Packer fan by the way, I'm a rival Viking fan and am familiar with winning big games in cold weather. Wish Fran could have played this way in 3 Super Bowls.
Virgil Moody, you are my hero!! I saw this video on UA-cam a couple of years ago, then it disappeared. What makes this video is the music at the very beginning. Those haunting strings; when you hear them, you only think one thing......COLD. I was raised a Packer fan. We say "Ice Bowl" with almost hushed reverence. For the younger generation that doesn't know, this is the game where Lambeau Field earned it's reputation of "The Frozen Tundra." Here's a fun poll to take: "What's the coldest football game you've ever attended?" For me, it was the 1993 Nebraska-Oklahoma game. Kickoff temperature in Lincoln was ZERO. There was snow in the footwells, but we Husker fans didn't care. It took all four quarters, but we beat Oklahoma that year.
Back when Nebraska was great. One regular season loss in five seasons. Nearly won five straight national championships. Back when the o-line used to blow opposing defenses off the ball. I miss those days, but look forward to what Coach Frost has in store. Go Big Red!!
Oh, how refreshing hearing Bart Starr saying Yes Sir to Vince Lombardi. Where did manners go. No one teaches manners this day and time. You can hardly understand some of the replies given today.
What do you mean you can’t understand? Get closed caption. You miss those days huh Magahead? Cherry look, this ain’t 1967, brothers playing in the NFL could give a rip rap about what you miss.
Thank's for sharing this! I read INSTANT REPLAY as a kid (a very long time ago). So many great players on both sides-Adderly, Renfro, Starr, Lily, just to name a few. About half the tackles/hits would draw a flag in today's game. A day so cold that Lance couldn't pull it out.
I remember this game, was a small child and all my relatives were sitting around on a cold night with a fire place saying how amazing it was, I became a football fan that day.
Bart Start was my hero when I was a kid. A man with honesty and character. The Packers will always be my heros. Champions without cheating, unlike the patiots. RIP Bart. We will always love you and the Pack.
My grandmother and Vince Lombardi's grandmother were first cousins. Grew up watching and rooting for the Packers even though we lived in NY. When Vince left, we turned to the Giants.
I remember watching the game on TV, back in Iowa. It was cold in Iowa, but nothing like in Green Bay. I delivered papers at 4AM, the next day thinking how did those players survive, let alone play football.? Real men, indeed!
I was 10 years old when this game was played and remember probably one of the 1st games I ever watched on TV, Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas was almost every kids idol back then and exciting time to be alive in America
Today, there would have been investigation into them playing in these conditions. Whatever you think of either team, you have to respect them toughing it out. Same for the fans.
@@WaltGekko I remember that game vividly. I believe the previous week the chargers played the dolphins in the divisional playoff game called the epic in Miami in which they won 41-38. To play In balmy Miami then have to travel to Cincinnati to play in those conditions the following week was crazy.
@@merccadoosis8847 Wind chill was -60 to -70F. That was "Ice Bowl III" (after the Raiders-Browns AFC Divisional game in January 1981 was played in below zero temps in Cleveland) and the game in Cinncinnati was played in much more dangerous conditions than the game in Green Bay. Some felt the game in Cincinnati should have been moved to a dome or warm weather location.
classic game. a big thanks to the nfl film maker sabol family (and crew) for their amazing work and coverage of this game. you have to remember the camera people were fighting the same elements, and it's brilliant work. i remember playing a little league football game when it was so cold it was all you could think of, i didn't care about anything accept getting warm. i can't even imagine playing in this kind of cold, it's amazing the game was as good as it was. it literally came down to who had traction and who didn't.
My Aunt Vanessa was at that game that day. She swore she'd never go to another football game after that one, and she kept her word, too. She said that when you sell beer in the ladies rest room because its too cold anywhere else in the stadium, that's going too far. I don't know if they did that or not, simply because I wasn't there during the game, but I heard plenty about it and how cold it was during the game. It was that game that made men out of boys. They should have the Super Bowl in that stadium. It would be fun to watch from the comfort of your home where the thermostat is set at 72°
Bob Lilly - What real football giants were. When I was a 10 year-old, I got his autograph and shook his hand. His hand was 11 times the size of my own. His fingers went half-way up my little arm.
I met him when I worked at a Phillips 66 station in San Marcos, Texas. I went out to wait on him and I saw the door of one of the first conversion vans I ever saw and out steps Bob Lilly, a mountain of a man. VERY nice man who drew a crowd in a matter of seconds. He stood and talked to people for about 30 minutes and could not have more receptive to fans.
WOW ,My father’s favorite Coach,and would talk to me as a child about him,and Mr Star was his 2,nd favorite Coming from a TX born,when he returned from the war we moved to FT Worth I became a Young DR Pepper little league where I was given 3 games tickets free! And father do his deal wearing his USMC special forces garb !!Crazy Ray 🏈👍🇺🇸
Ahhh, the good ol' days...This was when football was football. Hell, I wasn't even alive then, but I know, believe me. My Dad talked about the Ice Bowl, he talked about Lombardi, on how you either loved the Cowboys or hated them (we hated them, we are Eagles fans! lol) He schooled me on all of the old greats. I wasn't born a boy, but I was his "tomboy princess." I love football, baseball, boxing - you name it, I love it, and especially when my Dad was around. He died when I was 9, and in those 9 short years, he did a great job schoolin' me on the old school. I sure miss him, and it doesn't get easier over time, whoever said that is definitely lying. But I'm just glad for the times we did have, bc they mean the world to me nowadays. But I always say, that I was definitely born in the wrong era, and I really mean it. Just watching this proves it to me. ;-)
I watched this game as a teenager. The greatest football ever played. Always heard some of the Dallas players were interviewed and said it was so cold and brutal in Green Bay that they thought they were going to die. Lambeau Field was sold out When you are from the upper midwest, -15 F and -50 wind chill is not that big a deal if you dress right.
"... if you dress right." Correct you are. Layer your clothes, wear a down-filled parka, and appropriate hand and foot wear, and perhaps a mask and you'll be ok. I have done that on some extremely cold days and it works. Harder to do if the wind is blowing like crazy, but it's still able to be done.
It was a bit tougher to "dress right" in '67 than now. A lot of cold weather gear has come about since then for fans and players that didn't exist in those days.
@@TS-ev1bl Today, the players are so roided up the cold doesn't even bother them. I remember that Niners/Packers game from a few years ago when it was well below zero and both teams played like it was a 75 degree, sunny day in Palm Springs. Have guys become that much tougher? I seriously doubt it. But PEDS can work wonders. Just look at field goal kickers today making field goals with ease from 55-60 yards. They ought to just let that dude on the Rams try one from 85 yards. It would be no shock if he made it.
My Mother was a manager at Mots general store innTX,so everyday I would take packs of card home for many years,and my collection was 2nd to none!!! I won’t bore you with the final outcome of the famous Brief Case with all my stars ,Every sport,Nolan & Riggie,cat fish,Louey T,Seaver,Carl,so many I forget 🇺🇸🙏🏈💰🥃🍿,it’s tuff growing up Cowboy!!
Me too !! Born March 1st .. 1956 ... I watched it with my dad and my brother. ~ Both are gone now .. but I think about them often .. and always when I see the Green Bay Packers on the field. RIP Albert Daniel & Daniel Patrick Murphy ... GO GIANTS !
Back when it was real and actually good ! May God BLESS you all that are hear and you who uploaded this AMAZING FOOTBALL GAME ! Sincerely i mean it ! Sincerely, Paul~.
As a lifelong diehard packers fan my dad got me into watching them when i was like 1 nobody can ever take away the history and the legends and the coaches that have of the packers. My packers r the greatest professional sports team in the history of professional sports. the pack is back boys and girls, go pack go.
Ray was the gold standard of TV announcing. Obviously most TV guys came from radio in those days where they had To paint a total picture of what went on. With TV, Ray was one if the first to realize that the audience saw the action so his role was complimentary. And he did it perfectly.
This was the REAL Super Bowl for 1967. And everybody knew it. The two best teams of the entire NFL. The Cowboys can keep their heads held high: for two years in a row they lost in the last seconds to a legendary team and coach...the Green Bay Packers. Dallas had scored 52 against the Browns the previous week. So obviously the weather gave an assist to the Packers in slowing down the high-powered Cowboy offense. Most notably Bob Hayes who was a non-factor. In any case...congrats to a great Packers squad.

Starr is forever the best. Amen.
And one of the greatest players in the history of the Green Bay Packers.

Real football, played by real men, in a real America a long, long time ago. Happier days for those of us who were there to experience it.
You Sir are indeed correct! I miss those days as well.
let me guess, there's just snow flakes today?
Back when football was played in stadiums, not spaceships
I was 12 years old and watched the game with my late Father. After this game I always thought this was how football games where to be played. The worst the weather the more fun you had. Snow, bitter cold and rain. Loved it !!!
They were all winners in that game, playing in the harshest of conditions anyone that made it through are winners in my eyes. #PackerPride
COULD YOU IMAGINE TRYIN TO "BUST A NUT" IN THAT KIND OF WEATHER
Blessings and rest well #15! You will always be loved, remembered, and revered! Best thought out to family and friends in your time of loss.
@Mookie Spindlehurst my dictionary doesn't say that;(

outstanding piece of history. Thank you for the upload.
Rest in Peace to ALL the men who played in this GREAT GAME
Absolutely love this game and saw it live on TV when I was a young boy. Then my neighbor and I reenacted The Block over and over and over again on the frozen tundra of our neighborhood sidewalk. You know, had to get similar conditions.
This is so well done....what a great piece of sports history!
December 31, 1967. I am writing this on Dec 31, 2019. So it was exactly 52 years ago. Hard to believe. I watched it with my dad. We were rooting for the Pack. Thanks for posting this. YT is great.
I watched it with my father too the thing I remember is the referee blew his whistle to start the game and it was so cold that the metal pulled skin off of his lips. The game had to be delated so the referees got vasaline for their lips. He refed the game growing a gradual blood sickle. In addition to watching the game we both played find Dracula.
The memory of the game stands the test of time. Congratulations to both teams .
Couldn't agree with you more. A great film.
I've bn a Cowboy fan since 1965..I watched that replay, Jethro Pugh's foot slipped in the ice and allowed Starr's TD..it was shown, clearly, that he slipped backwards from the 'wedge' play that only Bart and Lombardi knew about..that was the worst conditions possible, below zero and a field of ice..should've postponed it until the weather improved a bit.it proved nothing except getting attention for the NFL..Even the Packers admitted we likely had the better team in '67..Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung and a few others were gone by then..one time that our complex offense worked against us..
I was born in January of 1967. So I'm a lifer for the GBP!! So much respect for all these guys and support staff!!
RIP Mr. Starr...my favorite QB and I proudly wear my #15 jersey while watching most any NFL games.
thats cool
Just watched this with my grandson, I was in the 4th row in the end zone that Bart Starr scored the touchdown. It was exciting that day and today was awesome for my grandson who is 6 to see the historic game. I took him to Lambeau Field last summer. Go Pack Go.
I was 13 watching this game with my Dad- Oh how I recall it! Thank you. Brings back nice family memories of me and Dad watching football every Sunday together.
I was 14 years old when I watched this game with my whole family ( Dad, Mom, 2 older brothers and two older sisters) in Milwaukee. There was no way anyone in my family missed a Packer game short of a emergency! Ray Nitschke was my biggest Packer hero then, and still today at 68 years old. He had such a storied Packer life on and off the field during his playing time then, and after as a writer for the Packer paper. “Don’t let me down”, he meant that for the Packer offense then, and it still egos today in my mind for my current Packers! This game was a measure of heart and sole of both teams that day, no yield to the elements of death gripping cold we still feel in Wisconsin at times. Today as I write this it’s a wind chill of 29 degrees below outside! God bless both of those Teams, for there were no losers on that field or in the stands that day, only winners and lovers of our greatest game!!
My poor Cowboys. I was very young but I did see this game. Don Meredith is my favorite Cowboys quaterback of all time. RIP Bart!
Chris, Don Meredith was a great quarterback, and especially in those conditions. Brutal. I remember the game very well. I wonder how Roger Staubach would have performed in that same situation.
Bart Statr..a true r superstar that is never mentioned in conversation today...that last drive to win the ice bowl was iconic done in absolutely horrible conditions and against a great football team...RIP Bart...u will live in my heart forever...glad that Jerry Kramer finally made the HOF..
I remember this game when I was in high school. Super exciting.
RIP Bart Starr 🙏😢
I was lucky enough to have a great uncle that was at this game and got to hear the stories from a young age.
I had a good friend over and we were watching different highlights. I asked him if he ever seen the “ICE BOWL”? We watched and split a pizza 🍕! He said: “I sure like these old games a lot more than what they play now!” Fun 🎉and entertaining.
#84, Packer receiver, Carroll Dale. One of the, if not THE most underrated receiver in my lifetime.
Saw this game when I was 13. Boy, what a game! I'll
always remember it to my
dying day. My buddies and
I quit sledding early so that
we could all go home and
watch it. Since then, I've
always liked to watch games
played in ice and snow. They're better than anything
you see today.
Thank you very much, Virgil! This game will always be Bart's legacy. . . .
I was 17 and I wish I had stayed and watched the game with my dad ☹️ He was so good. Did everything around the house and cars. He ended up building two houses for us down south and they’re beautiful and still standing tall. One was an auction for 100x100 property for $40 !!! My dad grabbed that one and built a house, with help from an electrician friend. My daughter bought it after my dad passed. So she has my parents house and I have my mother’s house. Life is sad but good 💗💔
A time of player loyalty and reasonable salaries. These guys were all tough as nails.
Packer fan here, from Milwaukee who went to season ticket games with my Dad in the 80s at County Stadium - but only the cold ones my Mom didn’t want…
Now I’m in Arizona, and watching this today made me bite all the nails off my frostbitten fingers. Go Pack Go!
Real football oh how we miss it!
They say things get better with age, not documentary film making...this stuff is pure gold!
A great game, if not the greatest, ever played. It had all of the ingredients for an epic battle. Two teams of titans, lead by iconic coaches, playing in brutal conditions, with everything on the line, gave fans, The Ice Bowl.
To Bart Starr, One Of My Childhood Heroes, Thank You For The Memories. It meant So Much. May You Win Another Super Bowl In Heaven With Vince. Rest In Peace.
I watched this game. I was 9 years old. It was such a great game!! Will never forget it. Glad the Packers won.
Ray Scott was a great play by play man. Watched both games when I was 12 years old.
Thank You mr.moody for posting this.Today I believe the game would be postponed.
Dallas played heroically (being a southern team)and though they lost in the final minute,there wild polarizing popularity started here in this game.The 70's they became America's team,but,the ice bowl is were their popularity started imho.
players from both teams deserve credit for playing as well as they did.
This is the greatest game in NFL history.
Epic in Miami in 1981 playoffs is great as well.
I was cold watching this sitting in front of a fireplace. I was fortunate enough to meet Bart 20 years later. Perfect gentlemen. I have his autograph on an envelope tucked away. Never dreamed I would meet him in my lifetime. RIP Mr. Starr!
This is the game that made me a Cowboy fan in NYC. Fifty years later, still am.
why would it make you a cowboys fan...? they lost....
A very good question. I was in seventh grade and didn’t know that much about football. A guy in my class, who I didn’t much care for, knew a great deal about football, and was a huge Packers fan. Leading up to the game, I tried to learn as much as I could about the sport. I chose to root for the Cowboys because they were the upstart team, playing against football royalty. Don Meredith, Bob Hayes, and Lance Rentzel were not cut from the traditional mold. They also weren’t the Packers. After the loss, I had to eat crow to the guy in my class, but the game had been such a good one. Once you pick a team, you wind up sticking with them, and I guess I have, for better or worse.
Many years ago, I worked out in the oilfields in west Texas at -11°! I had a warm coat, gloves and thermal underwear on and I still thought I was going to freeze to death!
Yikes, for what these guys went thru!
I was 11 yrs old and respected all NFL players for their dedication, integrity, sacrifice and love of the game! Glad I was able to experience what these generations can’t! So thru with the NFL nowadays for their disrespect of our Nation, Military, police and our President of These United States of America! 🇺🇸
Agree 100 percent
How do today's players disrespect our nation, military, police and President? They are just demonstrating against the unjust treatment of black men
Same here . I was a diehard football( packer) fan. Maybe it's for the best.
@CJ Dillon if you're going to quote coach Lombardi please say so.
I was 10 years old. This was the first time I had anxiety over a packer game that they might have lost. Had many years of disappointment after this, but the glory of that moment still makes me smile today. Greatest game in history.
Glad I was alive to witness this, the greatest era in the NFL history,
Rip Bart. I was 9. Never forget watching this game. I miss this game. I’m not sure what they’re playing today. Ray Scott “Starr to dowler touchdown “. Listen to the respect of players to their coaches.
This game is the definition of mental toughness. The greatest game in NFL history in my opinion due to the insanely brutal weather conditions and the game coming down to basically the very last play. Congrats to Jerry Kramer for finally making it into the HOF literally decades after he should've been inducted. His block on Bart Starr's QB sneak is probably the greatest block in NFL history. I'm not a Packers or Cowboys fan but what a great football game that was
Very exciting game. Because of that game every time it snowed i would get my buddies and I to the nearest field for some fun football.
RIP Bart Starr. You will always be in the end zone.
It's hard to accept he's gone...
Here's a reminder that Bart Starr was not only a great Hall of Famer but a man of class as well. Something we could see more in this day and age of NFL football.
Rest In Peace Jethro Pugh and George Andrie.
I’m literally a COWBOYS fan but I still love this game
Best game ever by the toughest guys to ever play the game.No frills,single safeguard on many.Just plan tough😎
I lived in the mid South back then in a standard modern suburban ranch house . I my Dad, and his friends watched this in the lving room and although we had heat, those houses could still be drafty. Yes we were freezing when watching it because a cold snap had gripped a good deal of the Nation . Perfect ambience for this classic game . Bart Starr's gamble and the weather helped push this into forever memories and immortality .
Chuck Mercein made some big plays in that final drive. Packers picked him up on waivers midway through the 67 season
The entire last drive is masterfully executed. It should be shown to all coaches as a lesson in simple fundamental football execution. Nothing fancy, no trick plays, just basic execution of simple plays. Short passes, draws, outlet passes, and of course the perfectly executed sneak. Chuck Mercein's big plays, the unsung hero. Under those ice cold conditions, its a thing of beauty. And I'm not a Packer fan by the way, I'm a rival Viking fan and am familiar with winning big games in cold weather. Wish Fran could have played this way in 3 Super Bowls.
Virgil Moody, you are my hero!! I saw this video on UA-cam a couple of years ago, then it disappeared. What makes this video is the music at the very beginning. Those haunting strings; when you hear them, you only think one thing......COLD.
I was raised a Packer fan. We say "Ice Bowl" with almost hushed reverence. For the younger generation that doesn't know, this is the game where Lambeau Field earned it's reputation of "The Frozen Tundra."
Here's a fun poll to take: "What's the coldest football game you've ever attended?" For me, it was the 1993 Nebraska-Oklahoma game. Kickoff temperature in Lincoln was ZERO. There was snow in the footwells, but we Husker fans didn't care. It took all four quarters, but we beat Oklahoma that year.
Northstadiumhusker I found the ice bowl tonight. I wasn't alive for it but love the history. The music gets me too. This is awesome
Back when Nebraska was great. One regular season loss in five seasons. Nearly won five straight national championships. Back when the o-line used to blow opposing defenses off the ball. I miss those days, but look forward to what Coach Frost has in store. Go Big Red!!
Thanks VIrgil. Brought back memories.❤
Oh, how refreshing hearing Bart Starr saying Yes Sir to Vince Lombardi. Where did manners go. No one teaches manners this day and time. You can hardly understand some of the replies given today.
Now one has Antonio Brown, Kaperdick, Reid, Peters, and the pussy coaches that play them.
@@dtype62 the great pussification of the American male.
@@vellshell007 Sad, but oh so true. Doesn't mean they can't be taught.The choice is up to them to follow the rules laid down though.🤔😑😑.
What do you mean you can’t understand? Get closed caption. You miss those days huh Magahead? Cherry look, this ain’t 1967, brothers playing in the NFL could give a rip rap about what you miss.
Bart was true class
Thank's for sharing this! I read INSTANT REPLAY as a kid (a very long time ago). So many great players on both sides-Adderly, Renfro, Starr, Lily, just to name a few. About half the tackles/hits would draw a flag in today's game. A day so cold that Lance couldn't pull it out.
RIP Bart Starr!! Always a Champion!!!
That day, win or lose, they all were. Americans through and through. Football--not showing off, no crying, nothing but courage, honor, and integrity.
I remember this game, was a small child and all my relatives were sitting around on a cold night with a fire place saying how amazing it was, I became a football fan that day.
Bart Start was my hero when I was a kid. A man with honesty and character. The Packers will always be my heros. Champions without cheating, unlike the patiots. RIP Bart. We will always love you and the Pack.
My grandmother and Vince Lombardi's grandmother were first cousins. Grew up watching and rooting for the Packers even though we lived in NY. When Vince left, we turned to the Giants.
Ray Scott...some found him boring, but I always loved his smooth, short and direct play-by-play calling. "Starr...Dowler...touchdown."
I remember watching the game on TV, back in Iowa. It was cold in Iowa, but nothing like in Green Bay. I delivered papers at 4AM, the next day thinking how did those players survive, let alone play football.? Real men, indeed!
Bart Starr is one of the best to ever play this game and one of the finest human beings to walk this Earth.
I was 10 years old when this game was played and remember probably one of the 1st games I ever watched on TV, Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas was almost every kids idol back then and exciting time to be alive in America
As I watched this game on TV I felt for the players. It was a cold day in our city.
"I'm going to take a bite of my coffee." (Frank Gifford)
WOW! oh how I miss the good ole days of sports, pro and college!
Today, there would have been investigation into them playing in these conditions.
Whatever you think of either team, you have to respect them toughing it out. Same for the fans.
@@WaltGekko
I agree that the weather was colder in Cincinnati but the field conditions were probably a bit more benign.
back when you were on your deathbed and still wanted to play,fast forward to today
@@WaltGekko I remember that game vividly. I believe the previous week the chargers played the dolphins in the divisional playoff game called the epic in Miami in which they won 41-38. To play
In balmy Miami then have to travel to Cincinnati to play in those conditions the following week was crazy.
@@gregbaker4571 Yes they did. That game in Miami to me is STILL the single greatest game in NFL history.
@@merccadoosis8847 Wind chill was -60 to -70F. That was "Ice Bowl III" (after the Raiders-Browns AFC Divisional game in January 1981 was played in below zero temps in Cleveland) and the game in Cinncinnati was played in much more dangerous conditions than the game in Green Bay. Some felt the game in Cincinnati should have been moved to a dome or warm weather location.
classic game. a big thanks to the nfl film maker sabol family (and crew) for their amazing work and coverage of this game. you have to remember the camera people were fighting the same elements, and it's brilliant work. i remember playing a little league football game when it was so cold it was all you could think of, i didn't care about anything accept getting warm. i can't even imagine playing in this kind of cold, it's amazing the game was as good as it was. it literally came down to who had traction and who didn't.
This is the way football outta be played!
28:58 the respect Star and Lombardi have for each other is amazing to watch… what a video 🔥
I'm freezing just watching this, and it's late May!!
Thank you for uploading this. I'll never forget early one Super Bowl Sunday morning I caught this on TV growing up. it was perfect.
R.I.P. also to Don Meredith, who Tom Landry called the toughest quarterback he ever coached.
I was seven-years-old, and I watched this game at my grandmother's home on a black and white television. Lol
My Aunt Vanessa was at that game that day. She swore she'd never go to another football game after that one, and she kept her word, too. She said that when you sell beer in the ladies rest room because its too cold anywhere else in the stadium, that's going too far. I don't know if they did that or not, simply because I wasn't there during the game, but I heard plenty about it and how cold it was during the game. It was that game that made men out of boys. They should have the Super Bowl in that stadium. It would be fun to watch from the comfort of your home where the thermostat is set at 72°
The closest thing at a Super Bowl was Super Bowl VI in New Orleans game time temperature was 39 degrees
@@michaelleroy9281 yeah but that's indoors.
ARRGH! IT STILL HURTS! but what a game! congrats GB YOU EARNED IT
Bob Lilly - What real football giants were. When I was a 10 year-old, I got his autograph and shook his hand. His hand was 11 times the size of my own. His fingers went half-way up my little arm.
I met him when I worked at a Phillips 66 station in San Marcos, Texas. I went out to wait on him and I saw the door of one of the first conversion vans I ever saw and out steps Bob Lilly, a mountain of a man. VERY nice man who drew a crowd in a matter of seconds. He stood and talked to people for about 30 minutes and could not have more receptive to fans.
@Paul Kryder I'm not a Cowboy's fan but he always represented to me the best of the Cowboys.
WOW ,My father’s favorite Coach,and would talk to me as a child about him,and Mr Star was his 2,nd favorite Coming from a TX born,when he returned from the war we moved to FT Worth I became a Young DR Pepper little league where I was given 3 games tickets free! And father do his deal wearing his USMC special forces garb !!Crazy Ray 🏈👍🇺🇸
Party in Vince Lombardi's rec room after the game. Talk about a different world.
Imagine today a party at Belichick's after championship win
Ahhh, the good ol' days...This was when football was football.
Hell, I wasn't even alive then, but I know, believe me.
My Dad talked about the Ice Bowl, he talked about Lombardi, on how you either loved the Cowboys or hated them (we hated them, we are Eagles fans! lol) He schooled me on all of the old greats.
I wasn't born a boy, but I was his "tomboy princess."
I love football, baseball, boxing - you name it, I love it, and especially when my Dad was around.
He died when I was 9, and in those 9 short years, he did a great job schoolin' me on the old school. I sure miss him, and it doesn't get easier over time, whoever said that is definitely lying. But I'm just glad for the times we did have, bc they mean the world to me nowadays.
But I always say, that I was definitely born in the wrong era, and I really mean it. Just watching this proves it to me.
;-)
lol good ol days give me a break. these guys would be ran off the field against today’s teams
I watched this game as a teenager. The greatest football ever played. Always heard some of the Dallas players were interviewed and said it was so cold and brutal in Green Bay that they thought they were going to die. Lambeau Field was sold out When you are from the upper midwest, -15 F and -50 wind chill is not that big a deal if you dress right.
"... if you dress right." Correct you are. Layer your clothes, wear a down-filled parka, and appropriate hand and foot wear, and perhaps a mask and you'll be ok. I have done that on some extremely cold days and it works. Harder to do if the wind is blowing like crazy, but it's still able to be done.
It was a bit tougher to "dress right" in '67 than now. A lot of cold weather gear has come about since then for fans and players that didn't exist in those days.
@@TS-ev1bl Today, the players are so roided up the cold doesn't even bother them. I remember that Niners/Packers game from a few years ago when it was well below zero and both teams played like it was a 75 degree, sunny day in Palm Springs. Have guys become that much tougher? I seriously doubt it. But PEDS can work wonders. Just look at field goal kickers today making field goals with ease from 55-60 yards. They ought to just let that dude on the Rams try one from 85 yards. It would be no shock if he made it.
My Mother was a manager at Mots general store innTX,so everyday I would take packs of card home for many years,and my collection was 2nd to none!!! I won’t bore you with the final outcome of the famous Brief Case with all my stars ,Every sport,Nolan & Riggie,cat fish,Louey T,Seaver,Carl,so many I forget 🇺🇸🙏🏈💰🥃🍿,it’s tuff growing up Cowboy!!
Don Meredith, Frank Gifford, Vince Lombardi, Ray Scott, and Bart Starr R.I.P
I watched this game , , , I was 11 years old , , been a Green Bay Packer fan ever since : - )
Me too !! Born March 1st .. 1956 ... I watched it with my dad and my brother. ~ Both are gone now .. but I think about them often .. and always when I see the Green Bay Packers on the field. RIP Albert Daniel & Daniel Patrick Murphy ... GO GIANTS !
RIP Bart Starr,Forrest Gregg,Don Meredith & Pete Gent & Jim Taylor.
Don't forget RIP Henry Jordan, Ray Nitsczke and Bob Hayes - legendary players playing in a legendary game!!!
And Landry and Lombardi
Great players they were
I'm an avid Cowboy fan, but Bart Starr was a class act and great leader. RIP
Sad that so many of the great players involved in this game have now passed on.
I saw this when i was a kid and that’s when I knew I wanted to be a football player. The best against the best.
Back when it was real and actually good ! May God BLESS you all that are hear and you who uploaded this AMAZING FOOTBALL GAME ! Sincerely i mean it ! Sincerely,
Paul~.
MORE MAN THEN YOU...THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE!!
Go Pack, Go!
As a lifelong diehard packers fan my dad got me into watching them when i was like 1 nobody can ever take away the history and the legends and the coaches that have of the packers. My packers r the greatest professional sports team in the history of professional sports. the pack is back boys and girls, go pack go.
I love how Ray Scott was so short and to the point with his calls
I don't think there has every been a better TV announcer than Ray Scott. Summerall broke in as Ray Scott's color analyst.
Scott was one of the best...never talked over a great play..got in and got out!
Ray was the gold standard of TV announcing. Obviously most TV guys came from radio in those days where they had To paint a total picture of what went on. With TV, Ray was one if the first to realize that the audience saw the action so his role was complimentary. And he did it perfectly.
This was the REAL Super Bowl for 1967. And everybody knew it. The two best teams of the entire NFL. The Cowboys can keep their heads held high: for two years in a row they lost in the last seconds to a legendary team and coach...the Green Bay Packers. Dallas had scored 52 against the Browns the previous week. So obviously the weather gave an assist to the Packers in slowing down the high-powered Cowboy offense. Most notably Bob Hayes who was a non-factor. In any case...congrats to a great Packers squad.
