This is the second of four clips I am sharing of the original NBC broadcast of the Super Bowl game forty years ago between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Jets.
This one showcases the state of the art graphics and the sponsorship billboard (yes, that means cigarette advertisers). It also features play-by-play man Curt Gowdy talking a bit about Joe Namth's famous guarantee of victory over the mighty Colts.
We've come a long way in forty years.
The clip is 2 minutes 45 seconds long.
Fascinating to be sure.

Hmmm that compared to the terrorist sympathizer that did this year’s Superbowl HT I must say I prefer the former.
