Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas has been shosen to write the script for an original television movie about one of the NFL's classic games -- the 1967 title game between Dallas and Green Bay. The Ice Bowl will premiere Dec. 13, ESPN said Wednesday. The cast has not been chosen.

The temperature was minus 13 for the start of the NFL championship game in 1967 in Green Bay, Wis. The Packers won, 21-17 when Bart Starr scored on a 1-yard sneak with 13 seconds left.

Man, I wish I was old enough back then to remember that game. What a classic!

I'd like to see this movie show this game in a factual, realistic way, but I won't get my hopes up because this is the same screenwriter that gave us Basic Instinct and the wretched Showgirls.

Ice bowl, shmice bowl........get over it. So what? It was a bit chilly. The game was a big bore until the final minute. :-) Nobody cares except for people in Texas and Wisconsin.

I remember it. At the time the best part of it was that the Packers won their third straight NFL Championship, the first three-peat in NFL history. Over time, the game itself has become the focus (and rightly so). How those teams could play that well under those conditions is truly remarkable.
