Super Bowl 50. Who's seen them all?
- Thread starter RUforJERSEY

Well, assuming we are talking about on TV and when they were happening, I have.

Yes, me too!..... Bought a share of the team a couple of years ago, so now I am a NFLowner
First one i have any recollection of at all was SB IX (?) Steelers/Vikings, purple people eaters vs the Steel Curtain. First one I remember vividly was the following year. I think, Vikings/Raiders. Have no memory of I thru VIII
Seen them all. Worst one for me was Jets - Colts. As a huge Johnny U fan it broke my heart to see them lose.
Those first two made me a lifelong Packer fan. Bart was an early hero. Shame to see him today pre-game - wish he could have been there. And yes he was a great QB - efficient, confident, and in control. A great head coach? Well... But he is still a great guy.
Every one, in fact my wife was just starting to go into labor with my youngest son during the second half of the Giants Super Bowl in 1986. She was a real trooper, said she had time, watched the whole game, and got to Riverview Hospital just in time. By the time I parked the car got up to the delivery room, he was being born. Almost missed it.
I missed the first two and the last two. The first two because I was a a bit young and not into sports and the last two because the NFL has become a joke.
Those of us who remember the game of 50 years ago…just think.
We are now replacing those old people when we were kids talking about Babe Ruth, Knute Rockne and Red Grange.
Amazingly, Jim Brown to teenagers today equals Jim Thorpe to us when we were kids.
However, the footage of Namath, Starr etc…might make the stars of our youth seem a bit more real to these kids

I still like his sister BRENDA a lot.(Being a FB Fan I most likely saw them all on the Tube.)
Your observation
is very similar to one that a friend of mine and I agreed upon.Many years ago when he and I were just kids in our early 60's we talked about the older people in our former Newark neighborhood(Belmont&Avon) and said that now we are those people.
It was a great DEFENSIVE game.Too many of us accept the D as just part of the game and want to see scoring plays and long gainers from the O skill people.Those on D ply their Craft with great skill and ferocity. Last night was a Prime example of a Great DC ,calling a Great Game and his Players executing it with the BEST that they had. And that was a lot.Ask Cam.:sunglasses:
