NFL America's Game Super Bowl 1 Champions 1966 Packers

[@marvinclay4476]

I'm so thankful that NFLFilms put this series together to get these perspectives from these great players while they were still with us.

[@dace938]

Retired, fixed income had to dump my NFL network. THANK YOU David for this. 1966 I was 12 and really into the NFL and the Pack. I love this. It's gold memories. Thanks again!

[@GazTheKitman]

Bill Curry's words regarding the late, great Willie Davis got me in the feels... "an unrewarded, undeserved act of kindness by a great leader and a great man". Wow!

[@donaldschmidt2990]

I can't recall an incident of ever hearing one person say a bad word about Willie Davis. CLASS PERSONIFIED. Only a backwoods redneck shithead could find a character flaw in him. Lombardi surrounded himself with superior people. That is why the Packers remain footballs greatest dynasty. AND THE GAMES GREATEST COACH.

[@thatllputmarzipaninyourpie3117]

I love how all the football players back then looked like my mechanic or a dock worker.

[@edwardyoung522]

Curry's statements about Willie Davis were gold.

[@johnperrigo6474]

Yes, absolutely.

[@DM-ji2dw]

This was an accurate video showing how people build trust and respect through "Sports." Willie Davis was an awesome "Leader" promoting a "Cardinal Rule of always Loving Your Neighbor" and Respect Everyone! Lombardi made me as a young athlete move forward being a "Walk-on as a division III football player at STOUT in I972." It was an influence in my life, always respecting a can do "Individual Leadership." Leadership is a Personal Blessing! Thomas J.

Hard to believe that as of writing this (6 May 2020), Bill Curry is the only person interviewed for the 1966 Packers team still alive. Bart Starr passed last May, and Willie Davis a couple of weeks ago.

Max McGee had the game of his life and played hungover. Now that's a damn beast.

The GRONK of his era....LOL

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Max had many great games. He was a starting WR for several years. He was an excellent receiver, but sadly at the end of his career.

I’m an eagles fan for 60+ years. The culmination of this season was EXACTLY why football exists today to the level it has reached. Too long to explain why.

[@ciAMkia]

I'd love to read what you have to say. It's likely similar to the way I feel about it. If you read this and have a chance, please know that if you reply to me, I'll most definitely READ YOUR "too long to read" opinion. I'm sure I'll find it interesting.

When Willie Davis says "This is it", against the Cowboys, he meant it.

[@exchequerguy4037]

Another Willie Davis starred (no pun intended) for the NL champion Los Angeles Dodgers in 1966.

[@exchequerguy4037]

If not the best coach ever, Lombardi is certainly one of the most quotable.

[@michaelleroy9281]

One player said Lombardi treats us all the same " Like Dogs!"

[@exchequerguy4037]

They also called him "Il Duce", a reference to Mussolini.

[@wolfwilliams]

Jim Taylor was right. There was no salary cap then. The Packers could have come up with some cash to raise his salary. It's professional football. If you don't fight for your value, you'll be underpaid.

[@finchborat]

With the death of Donald Sutherland, Curry is the only narrating voice remaining on here.

[@thatllputmarzipaninyourpie3117]

Landry was a mad scientist. Probably would have won 2 or 3 more championships during his tenure if he wasn't such a weirdo. I'm a Cowboys fan btw.

[@MrBeyondbelief]

@@finchborat The Steelers added to their 4 SB'S in the 2000's. The Patriots had a ten year gap between SB wins 2004-14. Both losses to the Giants then. Steelers got 2 in 4 and could have had 3 in 6 and a STAIRWAY TO 7 if they had beaten Aaron Rodgers in XLV.

I have to ask how Max McGee wasn't the MVP in this Super Bowl. I get the Bart Starr was the face of the franchise, but almost half of his completions, and both of his touchdowns were caught by McGee.

Why does the NJ Turnpike have a service area named for Lombardi at Englewood,while an Englewood native won 2 Super Bowls for the Giants? Did somebody get an offer they couldn't refuse?

@1:40 why are the packers playing the cardinals in miami??

[@jacktheripoff1888]

That was a game known as the "Playoff Bowl" that was played in the NFL from 1960 to 1969. All the games were played in Miami. The contestants were the second-place teams from each division and it was played a week after the Championship game. The Packers and Cardinals finished in second place in their respective divisions in the 1964 season so they met for that game in January 1965. It had no official postseason status and today the NFL classifies them as exhibition games. The game was initially set up to raise money for the NFL players association. It did raise 1 million dollars over the decade it was played. The players from the winning team got 1000 dollars and the losing team 500 dollars. Lombardi coached in 2 of those games called it the "Losers Bowl".
