I don't remember the Ice Bowl.

Little-known fact about SB I: the second-half kickoff was replayed because both CBS and NBC, both of which telecast that game, were in commercial at the time. So they just did it over.

I know about that!

I recorded a show on the history of the NFL on TV (it's called Replay), and it explained just that.

I taped that special too. That's a great show. All the old stuff, vintage stuff, tailor made for this forum.

Someone posted instructions in the newspaper on how to build a TV antenna to pick up a San Diego channel, so my Dad & I built the antenna and placed it on our chimney. VOILA!! The picture was typical analog grainy, but we got to watch the first Super Bowl! To top it off, Green Bay won, YEAH!!!!

Remember that well, we ended up visiting friends in San Diego so we could see it. It was carried on both networks
