I love it. No sack dances. Acts and jigs after each and every play. Nobody running to the end zone for a skit after interceptions. Nobody acting like a joker. Just real hard nose football. The way it was envisioned.

Absolutely, that's the way the game should be played. No nonsense.
@AtEboliАй бұрын
I agree. You score a TD, you just politely hand the ball to the ref and jog back to the sidelines as if you were just doing your job, nothing more. There was a purity to the play back then that's been lost to all the glitz and glamor and billions of dollars involved in the game today.

Then blame Homer Jones. He scored and was so excited he didn't know what to do so he slammed it to the ground. And so the spike was born. It grew from there.

The Bears at Steelers @ 17:45 was played on Sunday November 24, 1963, the weekend in which the country mourned the death of President Kennedy. The game was played at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.

I remember this season so well as a 12 year old Bears fan! Later, in the mid 90s, I got to have a private lunch with my hero, #9 Billy Wade in Nashville. Got to chat with him for two hours straight. Several autographs and pictures followed. When he saw the 1964 Sports Illustrated magazine I had him autograph, he was impressed. (It also showcased Roger Staubach winner of the Heisman and Olympian swimmer Don Scholander.) He wanted to trade me a copy of a late 40s Look magazine with him on the cover for it, but I declined. Great day, great guy, great memory.

Saw the 49ers beat the Bears at Kezar as, also, a 12 year old. Bear JC Caroline gave me his autograph on the field after that loss. What a kind man to do that after his team lost. Made my day.

My dad & I watched this championship game together in our living room in Dallas, Texas. I was only 8 years old & was not yet much of a football fan. I do remember how excited my dad got during the game as he cheered on the Bears. My mom complained to him that he was "scaring the boy." They both grew up in Chicago where they met in high school. Somewhat to his disappointment I eventually became a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan. It was his fault though, since he took me to a Cowboy game earlier that year played in the Cotton Bowl. He did influence me, however, to become a lifelong Cubs fan. Sadly, he died too young in 1977 at only 48 years of age.
@getx1265Ай бұрын
I also became a lifelong Cowboys fan in November 1962 when the Bears played the Cowboys in the Cotton Bowl on tv, and my hero, #9 Billy Wade, set a passing yards record that stood for many years. btw/ Still love the Bears as well!

I watched the championship game live on TV. The extreme cold really hurt the Giant offense, especially the Tittle-Schoffner bomb threat. A wide-open Schoffner dropped a sure touchdown pass, something that rarely happened. No doubt his hands were just too cold.

As an Army brat, we moved every couple of years so I had no loyalty to a sports team growing up. Then, in 1963 at age 9, my dad was stationed at Ft Sheridan, just north of Chicago. Yeah - instant Da Bears, Cubs and Blackhawks fan. Still a fan of them all, including the Bulls when they joined the NBA in '66. Cheers....

I just bet the games at Wrigley Field were a happening, an event, a big deal. Especially with all the rivalries you had back then, playing the 6 Western Conference opponents twice each year. Also, I'd like to point out the turnaround the Bears had from the previous year. In 1962 the lost to eventual champion Green Bay 49-0 and 38-7. In 1963 they beat the Packers 10-3 and 26-7. I love the old-school scoreboards at some stadiums. You actually have to be good at addition to figure out the scores of games.
