It really wasn’t until the 70s that the NFL became the dominant professional sports league.

I remember watching SB I with a fair number of empty seats and little preceding media “hype”.
It almost seems impossible to believe now.

Yeah, it was a great time.

I remember the cover photo of ‘Mean’ Joe Green. Was it Time?

The sport was exciting and had caught on.

I started watching the LA Rams back in the 50’s when my father, aka ‘The Chief’ would take us to the para-style end of the LA Coliseum (because, as I recall, it was free in the 4th quarter in those days).

It was great fun back then to grow up in slightly impoverished circumstances.
