NFL Lost Treasures 1970s

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 $$$.

[@jeff8ball]

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

[@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 🏈

[@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!

[@donkovaleski6773]

I miss real football.

[@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.

[@michaelallison6075]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@JamalMcCoy-tx2vz]

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

[@frankburklin1116]

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

[@deantait8326]

Ahhh my NFL !

[@alessandrapirelli7040]

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

[@sportshistorybuff319]

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

[@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.

[@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. 🐻⬇️

[@stoneybakermd1936]

football ASMR

[@luisreyes1963]

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

[@chuckhutton5087]

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

[@jamesbowers7531]

Greatness. Awesome to see my old heroes again.

[@skelderon64]

That's when football was football.

[@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

[@JamalMcCoy-tx2vz]

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

[@jason-hy8ci]

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

[@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.😊

[@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!

[@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😮

[@timcollins3794]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@ericbond5276]

Frank Nunley died in June 2024.

[@edwinkubena9944]

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

[@timleonard-zx8jy]

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

[@geologist1005]

NFL was so much better then

[@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. 😀🏈‼️

[@docnoc66]

Up with people was a cult

[@luisreyes1963]

Yes, it was. 😵

[@Dr.ScatKohlenblo-nj2cv]

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

[@chancegoode173]

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

[@hugosophy]

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

[@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

[@Paul11B2P]

Great video 🎉🎉🎉

[@steventhorson4487]

😊

[@daviddenny9590]

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

[@DavidCroteau-fw5io]

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

[@fcruz43215]

This was awesome!!!!

[@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
