- I did all the graphics, effects and synching, but to give credit where it's due, the audio came from the TH-cam channel Classic Sports Radio Network. Here is the link to that channel:

It was a brutal hard hitting game. Cold and windy as hell. I was in the bleachers and it was very intense being there.
I wasn't old enough to appreciate the game of football back then (I was only 8 years old) so this
broadcast is a real treat.
It's amazing how the radio
commentator calls this game in great detail. You just don't hear this kind of
radio coverage today. If
you did, the game would be
even more popular than it is
currently. I was 12 when my
friends and I watched the ice
bowl in 1967 on CBS. THAT'S when I grew to appreciate the game and I've
been watching it for 56 years
now. Thanks for posting this
broadcast. Football at its
finest.
Thank you. As a FYI, if you like Vince Lombardi and you want to see more about the Packers during this time period, I will be posting another video based on my research where I talk more about this time period in much greater detail based on my time pouring over the archives of not just the Green Bay Press-Gazette, but also interviews of Lombardi's family.
@@footballrestored171 Thanks, I'll be watching for it.
I was living in a cold water flat in New Jersey at the time.The wind seemed to come right through the walls.
you lived in new jersey? i'm sorry.
If this was today, there would be flags galore for late hits and out of bounds hits. Amazing what is was like back then.
Yet you don't hear of too many players of this era having head issues later in life. John Mackey is one exception. I think the fact that most players weren't all that buffed out from weights is one reason. They weren't as fast nor as big overall. Late hits were well too often ignored by the refs, but not always.
No doubt. I have some old NFL Films DVDs of the 1960’s, and the hits were just brutal. Clotheslining, forearms to head, late hits - late hits like every-other play! It’s amazing the quarterbacks in particular survived.
I can understand giving the defense some leeway on those late hits - you can't stop on a dime nor can you always see if the offensive player has actually even caught the pass - but obviously this leeway was abused such that you could intentionally try to hurt a downed player with a flying elbow to the head or whatever you could dream up as a way to inflict pain and damage to intimidate or even get them out of the game. In retrospect this was just sadistic and cruel, particularly since the offensive player wasn't even in a position to defend themselves. I'm glad they finally got the balls to clean this up, even if that means there are occasionally borderline plays that penalize aggressive defensive play. Err on the side of safety, this game is BRUTAL ENOUGH as it is, we don't need to add gratuitous hitting on top of that.
I was 17 yr-old HS senior....it was the coldest day i can remember due to winds. I ran out of gas while listening & had to walk to get gas, which i spilled on my hands as i fed the tank. Now THAT was cold!
Oh damm
This was a pure pleasure. Thank you to the one or those who put in all the work to sync up the radio and video. I even enjoyed the commericials. Thank you,
No problem.
Some of the Packer vets said this game was even colder than the Ice Bowl due to the winds.
Thanks! I was 12 yrs old at the time. This brought back great memories. Nice work!
As someone who loves listening to games from previous eras, I tip my hat. This production is the best I've seen on YT and makes this already classic listen a great broadcast to watch as well.
1962 Packers...considered by many as Lombardi's best team ever...
I would put the 66 Packers in that same category.
I was 11. I remember listening on the radio with my dad and older brother dad because of the blackout in NYC of all Giants home games
This was on NBC Radio. NBC had both TV and radio rights to the NFL Championship from 1955-1963.
I was 11, too. Watched on teevee with Uncle Webster at my Grandpa's farm near Plover, Wisconsin. I remember this vividly, and how it was a hardfought low scoring game. And that Taylor played with a 101⁰ fever, or something like that, the kind that makes you ache all over. Impressive. He became my favorite Packer that day.
Too bad so much of the video was missing, but still great to have this.
This Packer team is arguably the best team in NFL history (by SRS rating). The Packers had to really slug it out to win this game. It shows how unfair and naive the “alternating home game” Championship Game format was… that’s why this championship and the 1966 championship won in Dallas are the Packers most impressive
The Giants had a great offense but it was built around the forward pass..when it came time to play for the championship....December weather was cold and windy which doesn't favor a passing team..plus teams back in the 60s were allowed to play defense making it harder to score points....so the Giants scored 17 points and 1 offensive TD in 3 championship games...and what did Allie Sherman do?.....get rid of defensive players that ruined the team...
I like how you show the comparatively subdued hype for the game compared to the Super Bowl
This game had been building for a year. So what happens? There was a newspaper strike in ny, icy wind blasts, a TV blackout in NY, and radio coverage from upstate NY, with only one lame announcer. What a shame.
The Giants' flagship radio station in 1962, WNEW-AM, had to cancel the broadcast due to an IBEW engineering strike at the station. We couldn't listen to our guys, Marty Glickman pxp and Al De Rogatis color. Kyle Rote did the pre-game show from the WNEW studio and explained the situation to the listeners, instructing us to tune to WNBC for the NBC national broadcast with Ken Coleman and Ted Moore. Coleman was the voice of the Browns, Moore was the Packers' voice. This was like sleeping with the enemy! No way could the Giants win that day!
@@frdjr2527it was bad enough the NFL
With there stupid blackout had the game not on tv this is worse
THKS! Always curious about Willie Wood's ejection ,from what I saw ,maybe . But I saw Sample and Matte get into it , at SB 3 , and matte said his elbow knocked out the official's front teeth .And as much as you can see , I believe them . But I thought Sauer fumbled in the game and nothing called . The speed is so unreal Tv really slows it.
Great work on this!
I am sure that 5-10 years ago I saw another version of this radio/film combination here on youtube. And it wasn't the same film--the film was much better. It was taken down. So was another good one of the Bears-Giants the next year. Does anyone else remember those?
Yes, unfortunately, this is a "copy of a copy" so there has been some degradation in the quality and the TH-cam software wouldn't allow this video to be posted in its original form, so it had to be modified.
I hear Ken Coleman annoucing here
I wish I was at least 12 years old when this game was played. I understood and appreciated football by that age. The simplicity and style of the game during this era is my favorite.
There is a certain pureness back then to how they just let them play. Some fouls were called in this game too, but for the most part, the officials just let them do their thing.
Y.A. Tittle couldn't take the cold weather, he lost to the Chicago bears 14-10 in 1963, he had bad luck, if the weather was 50 degrees he would have routed both teams
What was the score the year before? 37-0? Yeah, he would have routed them.
@@Wdroster In 1961 the giants were in QB transition from Charles Connerly to Y.A. Tittle and pleyed in cold Green Bay
You do realize that in both the 1961 and 1962 title games, combined, the Giants offense was shut out. As in, 120 minutes, not a single point. Yet warm the weather up and the Giants suddenly whoop up on one of the most dominant teams (62 Packers) in NFL history.
@@scooter5940 I agree the packers had Packer weather in New York City
Giants never whooped it up in the 62 Packers
Was this game in color on NBC? CBS had been, as they would for many more years, televising NFL games since 1957. The NFL Championship was on NBC until NBC took AFL football from ABC in 1964, then CBS had the championship game as well as regular season. CBS didn't have games in color until the 1965 season I believe, definitely 1966. So, some of these games were telecast in color in the late 50s and early 60s, because NBC started televising some programs in color as early as 1956. It wasn't very good, though.
The vid here comes from TelRa. NBC did the 1961 title game in B&W, it appeared.
