NFL Lost Treasures 1970s

[@afvet5075]

The Sabols are our American treasures. Thank you, fellas, for keeping all of those wonderful memories. RIP, guys.

[@thewkovacs316]

the nfl never gains the popularity it has without the sabols and nfl films

[@jonschlottig9584]

They show the impact a couple people with a vision can have.

[@classiclife7204]

The younger Sabol is gone now? Damn. RIP. He did a tremendous job curating this great old footage of American culture

[@JAMwithGeo]

Keep them coming. They bring back childhood memories. If only John Facenda was still alive to lend his voice to these gems.

[@chuckhutton5087]

Another Philly classic named Harry Kalas filled in nicely following Facenda’s passing.

[@guppybill]

Roman Gabriel was my first favorite player. The thumbnail made me watch.

[@erichodge567]

Mine too.

[@SnuffyDirt]

Makes three of us!

[@paulheaphy4228]

N.C. State!

[@oldschoolruler]

Indeed...he was my first favorite as well. 🏈✌🏽

[@jamesbowers7531]

Greatness. Awesome to see my old heroes again.

[@mikeromero8162]

Brings back many memories So many great players back then. Ram fan since 1969. Roman Gabriel, Deacon Jones, Jack Snow and Merlin Olsen were my favorites.😊

[@jeff8ball]

Brilliant! Love the nostalgia. Some great photography, broke new ground and brought football to life.

[@chuckhutton5087]

Football replaced baseball as the “ national pastime “ because of NFL Films. Priceless and extraordinarily great.

[@Studio54.4]

Love this. Reminds me of my 20s. Back in the 2000s when cable TV was still decent. BTW the airdate for this episode was August 3, 2004, since John Olerud signed with the Yankees that day.

[@jonschlottig9584]

Same! The good old days. Nice catch with the air date!

[@JamalMcCoy-tx2vz]

Rest in peace to my fathers favorite player... Bart Starr and the original Packers❤

[@RivetGardener]

Back when the NFL played football, the players did it for the love of sport and Politics never entered the fray.

[@lorinfields5051]

Politics is not in it. They are concerned about the $$$.

[@t4texastom587]

I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan. I watched the NFL with my Dad and uncles in the late 1950s, but began watching in earnest in 1963. My favorite decade was the 1960s, but l love the 1970s too. God bless our pro football heroes from a by-gone era 🏈

[@andrewpadaetz5549]

18:16-Frank "Fudgehammer" Nunley-just passed away recently. Part of the early 70s Niners teams that won 3 straight NFC West titles but lost to Dallas in each of those 3 seasons in the playoffs.

[@edpinkerton7947]

Great nickname

[@martinwhite3354]

It's players like Nunley that people my age remember the most because we are closer to the players who are leaving us. Nunley was a great 70's LB. Tough against the run and tough as nails..RIP

[@andrewpadaetz5549]

PS Candlestick was already open for 10 years prior to the Niners going there-just not for football. The baseball Giants moved there in 1960.

[@brianhanley1903]

Start a new leauge bring back football. Out BH.

[@59ogre]

Yeah,they had a good team back then.Serious talent at all position groups.Brodie should be in HOF.Just couldn't get past the Cowboys.Their OL struggled against Dallas' front,and they had a hard time scoring against them.

[@jason-hy8ci]

Watching that was like coming home..... I turn on Today's Game........ Nothing, I feel nothing.

[@timcollins3794]

I will watch reruns of 70's nfl games before i watch todays nfl.

[@DavidCroteau-fw5io]

Love love love love it... I still remember this when a was a lil boy... I'm 41 now .. 2024

[@chipschannel9494]

😂the 70s , we were ALL wearing it , i had to pause at three minutes so i could laugh for ten , WE WERE GROOVY 😂🥹😊

[@airforceveteran71]

At the 7:00 mark catch #76 Al Cowlings of the Oilers...some 20 years later he was driving OJ around in a white Bronco with 100 cops on their tail.

[@michaelallison6075]

At the 9 minute mark, the late Brian Piccolo, and the back of 89, Mike Didtka

[@milart12]

The only bad thing about 70s football was the astroturf.

[@kurtweber6326]

And with few exceptions, my Packers.

[@MichaelGeary-m8y]

And the beginning of indoor stadiums

[@johnperrigo6474]

@@kurtweber6326 How true!!! Those weren't the days.

[@Paul11B2P]

Great video 🎉🎉🎉

[@JamalMcCoy-tx2vz]

That artificial surface ended a lot of careers lol😅😂😅...

[@JerryFerko]

NFL FILMS ................. THE BEST THING ABOUT THE NFL TODAY ............................ FILM FROM WAY BACK ................... REST IN PEACE TO THE FUDGEHGAMMER

[@AndthenthereisCencorship-xc6yi]

Namath, Gabriel, Bradshaw, the Snake, etc.

[@fcruz43215]

This was awesome!!!!

[@deantait8326]

Ahhh my NFL !

[@skelderon64]

That's when football was football.

[@timleonard-zx8jy]

can you tell me what the four straps on the harness are for ? the ones that have loops on the ends thanks

[@sportshistorybuff319]

The 'Up with People" singers made the Simpson's Duff Amusement Park ensemble look like the Sex Pistols.

[@georgegarcia2632]

After Cowboys won a S.B. Always thought there was a vacuum. Just had a feeling The Rams were gonna win two,or three Super Bowls. Ahh!! Shocker😮

[@kiasax2]

My favorite player back then was Walt Garrison who was a real cowboy and played for the Dallas Cowboys, LMBO! Seriously, Walt Garrison was a REAL COWBOY! He bulldogged steers at rodeos. Now, that's a tough guy!

[@carseye1219]

The title is "Lost Treasures 1970s" but many scenes have players with no names on their jerseys. 1970 was the first year that required names on the jerseys so, every clip should have names on the backs.

[@donkovaleski6773]

I miss real football.

[@johnperrigo6474]

Isn't that the truth? So many things about the current state of affairs that is a turn-off.

[@geologist1005]

NFL was so much better then

[@edwinkubena9944]

Football wasn’t all about money like it is now and also politics

[@CraigerAce]

The good old days of smash mouth football. On and off the field.

[@dw-fe2ww]

Kezar was used in the original Dirty Harry movie

[@frankburklin1116]

Wow, the clothing was Cccrraazzy,ha ha.simpler times.

[@DavidCroteau-fw5io]

I have so many score football cards from the 60s 70s and 80s 90s and early 2000s

[@SteveAustin-jp3ev]

I especially like the 1969 Topps football set

[@alessandrapirelli7040]

Ahhh, the real NFL, when men were still MEN!

[@johnperrigo6474]

I'm glad Steve didn't try singing very often.

[@daviddenny9590]

The '70s were bittersweet for me. My Redskins were better than in the '60s, but my Packers were much worse.

[@luisreyes1963]

The 70s were a difficult decade for an NFL greenhorn fan like me, since the only teams the country cared about were the Steelers or Cowboys. I, like my late father were Bears fans. 🐻⬇️

[@josephpalermo8779]

Football was a better game with better people back then.

[@HughPoland]

Love it, but I dislike that it is edited down from the original show. Please let us edit by fast-forwarding if we want to skip something.

[@Denjayb]

Luv Steve Sabol - But he made an incorrect statement about Joe Namath / Namath did defeat 2 winning teams after Super Bowl III - He defeated the 11-3 Miami Dolphins and 9-5 Buffalo Bills in 1974

[@michaelleroy9281]

It is what it is Joe Namath is in the Hall of Fame ( 1985) like it or not

[@ericbond5276]

Frank Nunley died in June 2024.

[@hugosophy]

Most nitrate film stock degrades rapidly in open air so I bet most of these films aren’t around physically anymore

[@chancegoode173]

James Harris playing at Quarterback for the Buffalo Bills was one of, if not the first black QB in the league.

[@davidmc8475]

First Black Quarterback (Pre-Super Bowl Era) - 1932 Joe Lillard Chicago Cardinals (became St. Louis and then Arizona Cardinals) (Super Bowl Era) - October 6, 1968 Denver Broncos. Marlin Briscoe James Harris came in 1969.

Yes, it was. 😵

38:13 The Chicago Bears' worst coach: Abe Gibron. 😩

[@steventhorson4487]

[@Dr.ScatKohlenblo-nj2cv]

27:00...wait...the guy set up Terry Bradshaw with his wife?....to pretend like she was his girlfriend. Bad move.

[@spencersmith9473]

27:04 what on earth?!

[@LuVanBramer]

Namath did not win the Super Bowl the defense shut down a high powered colts and. The jets running game won the game not Namath he was overated

[@chriscurtis8344]

The argument that Namath is overrated is an OLD argument. Namath was a heavy boozer and party guy. Namath had talent and suffered from injuries.Namath’s best game was in the AFL Championship against a tough Raiders team.Namath made good decisions in both games and one of them was to not throw 4 interceptions in the SuperBowl by keeping the successful ground attack.

[@halwarner3326]

You have no sense of history.

[@chriscurtis8344]

I’m no expert or anything near an AFL 🏈 veteran . Try and listen to his teammates recall their experiences with Joe Namath. Particularly the 1967 and 68’ seasons. NFL Films on the NYJets.

[@chiwawa130]

What are you, 13 years old?

[@chriscurtis8344]

I’m just having a good time. 😀🏈‼️

[@funksfunk]

Football is not the national pastime. Were it not for gambling, football would not be viable as a professional sport. Why would anyone watch it?
