Super Bowl IX Steelers vs Vikings - Fleming & Cope Dubbed w/TV Broadcast

- We painstakingly dubbed this NBC TV broadcast with the iconic radio call of Pittsburgh legends Jack Fleming and Myron Cope. Enjoy! If you go to our site, we've also done this for Super Bowl X (Steelers vs Cowboys) and it is FANTASTIC. Sadly, TH-cam immediately banned it worldwide. Here's the link to watch SB X: www.mcmillenand...
The Steel Curtain absolutely CRUSHES Minnesota, finally winning a championship for "The Chief" while limiting Fran Tarkenton's supposedly high-powered offense to a paltry 119 total yards -- 17 rushing yards on 22 carries (an embarrassing average of 0.8 yds per carry) and 102 yards passing with 3 INTs -- a Super Bowl record which still stands today.
MVP Franco Harris (34 carries, 158 yards, 1 TD) is virtually unstoppable, Bradshaw is smart and efficient and the Pittsburgh offensive line simply manhandles Minnesota's famous Purple People Eaters. Defensively, the Pittsburgh's Steel Curtain is nothing short of phenomenal, especially the front four in what is easily the most dominating performance by a defensive line in Super Bowl history. Mean Joe Greene is overwhelming, Fats Holmes is immovable and L.C. Greenwood is in Tarkenton's face all afternoon, smacking down 3 passes and forcing numerous poor throws.
But perhaps most noteworthy is the performance of Dwight White, which is nothing short of heroic. White -- who spent the week in the hospital with pneumonia and lost 18 pounds -- totally dominates, scoring the game's first points on a safety and batting multiple passes, one of which is intercepted by Joe Greene.
Minnesota's offense crosses into Pittsburgh territory 4 times, The first, the result of a Bleier fumble, ends in a missed FG. Their 2nd trip ends in a Mel Blount INT after Glen Edwards nearly decapitates WR John Gilliam, popping the ball 20 feet into the air and right into Blount's waiting arms. The 3rd ends when Joe Green intercepts a Tarkenton pass batted by Dwight White near midfield. And the 4th and most promising (following a 42-yd pass interference penalty that puts the ball at the Pittsburgh 5) ends when Mean Joe recovers a Chuck Foreman fumble (forced by Ernie Holmes).
Had the Vikings not scored a TD on a blocked punt, this one would've been a shut out. Includes the halftime, commercials and 30 minutes of postgame material including the trophy presentation, fan interviews and round table player interviews with Bradshaw, Franco, Rocky and several members of the defense. - กีฬา
Man I miss the old days, a tight end and two running backs on offense, and a 4-3 on defense. And the Super Bowl was on in the afternoon, and didn't take 6 hours
Amen to that
I totally agree with you.
@@chriso5662 qq1qq11
Totally agree!
Man, I hear ya. And my Colts were still in Baltimore.
RIP Franco Harris - MVP of the Steelers first Super Bowl victory.
Great player, and by all accounts, an even getter human being. He will be missed.
I didn’t even know he died 72 damn that young
Yeah they caught me off-guard big-time losing Franco Harris rest easy Franco Harris 😞🙏💔
@@mcmillenandwife , we need to ban TH-cam for the ban. Also, I wish that the people that did the commentary for the EPSN NFL 2K series could do the commentary for past Super Bowl games, as that is a good video game, as well as one of the first video games that really captured how it truly felt to not only play, but also see, a football game, and people are STILL uncovering things in the code of that game to this day.
AMEN AMEN AND AMEN RIP Franco 1:37:08
70's Steelers football with Fleming and Cope...football the way God intended.
I went to this Super Bowl.! Still have the Ticket.!
That's awesome!!!
Those old Steeler uni's were much better than the current ones.
Hearing Myron Cope live during this Steelers squad is amazing
#57 Sam Davis turned to block blocked inside, which allowed #59 Matt Blair to come inside unabated to block the punt
How about no celebration after every tackle, or sack or incomplete pass, I love it, they are just doing their job and playing football..
well said. same for offense. today every play is a celebration, not to mention the scripted TD dances and turnovers on D. juvenile
SO FUCKING WHAT...IT'S A GODDAMNED GAME!!@@stillersreaper
Found the triggered loser. @@CKWolf-kq5wz
@@CKWolf-kq5wz A person from the "Dumbest Generation" speaks!!!!
The players today are childish, when giving interviews it really comes out. Just a sign of culture change.
Ateelers held them to 9 first downs
17 rushing yards
119 total yards offense,a record that will never be beat
The Rams against the Patriots must have come close. I don't remember Goff or a diminished Gurley doing much of anything.
This was the first Super Bowl which the team making their first appearance defeats the team with more experience.
Hello?? Jets over Colts SB3??
@@JoeBattle Both were in their first SB, had to be a winner there.
At this moment I like to believe Jack Fleming, Myron Cope, and Franco are discussing the Steelers. Jack Fleming and Myron were the best football duo broadcasters ever. Listening to them brings back so many memories. Back then I always wished they could somehow sync with the TV. It was magic.
I could have attended Super Bowl #1. Not referred to as the Super Bowl back then. Tickets were around $15. I still kick myself to this day.
I love the replays from the offensive angle. Seeing Jack Lambert staring you down and coming your way!
Fangs very fearsome dint want him after me
Tarkenton hall of Fame quarterback deservedly so and I remember hearing this that what the Steelers did was they came with a game plan to block his vision in the passing lanes because they knew he was not the tallest quarterback quarterback brilliant game design if course it doesn't diminish him as a legendary quarterback
Wow!!!! What a game!!!! Steelers defense putting on a clinic!!!
This is still the coldest SB ever played. The wind chill was 22 degrees.
Wow! You know, all these years and I didn't know that. 👍
I don't think the vikings would have done any better if it was played inside the super dome if it would have been finished
Agreed,@@shellyweiers121. The Vikings were still a cold weather team in those days, very accustomed to playing in the elements.
Interesting that Myron said "fumble could change things" and then "bam"...fumble lol...Great stuff!
Jack and Myron what a broadcast team.
We had an incredible blizzard in South Central Minnesota that weekend. No electricity from Friday afternoon through Sunday. My brother (via snowmobile) drove me to my grandpa's house where they had electricity. Still hurts.
wow. that's a great "backstory" to this game. i was a kid in Detroit then watching this game-- '70's snowstorms were epic...🏈😎
I was ten years old when they won this Super Bowl. Just a story book franchise. Three coaches and all of them won Super Bowls. Unbelievable.
Myron!!!!!
youtube isn't equipped to like this enough. Incredible.
What does that mean?
Thanks for posting this. I haven't seen it again since it happened. What I recall as a seventh grader at the time was being so confident the Steelers would win a halftime, that I went across the street to play at my friend's house, and didn't come back until half way through the third quarter.
Lifelong Bengals fan, but I really enjoyed and respected Myron Cope (even though he coined the infamous "Bungals" nickname... lol).
He created the Terrible Towel, which the money from helps people in need. I can definitely get behind that. Myron was a good man.
Agreed, Myron was amazing. Funny, passionate and entertaining, but I think what made his truly great to listen to were his Pittsburgh roots and his deep understanding of not just the players and organization, but also the fans. You're exactly right, he was a good man.
Ray Mansfield and Mike Webster on the field together on the Steelers touchdown drive to clinch the game
Wow, I never noticed that! Iron Mike is in at RG!
That Steeler Defense was just amazing.
Vikings officials at the 1975 draft passed on their pick slot to get more time to consider which player to select. Pete Rozelle told the audience, "Minnesota passes" and somebody yelled, "And L. C. Greenwood bats it down!"
😂😂😂😂😂
I hope all the young Steeler fans and all the Steeler fans who have never lived in the area take the time to listen to Jack and Myron call at least one game. Thanks for posting this.
This is great. I had the last quarter and local postgame coverage (along with the early part of SB13) on an audio tape. My grandma set up a tape recorder in front of the TV for my grandpa who had to work in the mines and couldn't watch. Unfortunately, this recording doesn't have my GM screaming and yelling in the background and yapping at the dog to get away from the TV.
That’s awesome! 😂
Was this fabulous or what? This was the first time I ever heard this Pittsburgh radio team. My oh my! I've not heard all the great broadcasting duo's over the years, but I'd made the case that these 2 guys were in a league of their own. They had me practically hopping out of my seat in excitement. After that "no call" on Tarkenton when he tossed the ball away, I thought Fleming was going to take leave of his duties in the booth and go down to the sidelines and confront the referee himself. What a display of love and loyalty towards one team. Pittsburgh deserved all their titles over those years; especially with such a supporting cast in the booth. True immortals of the game of football, they will surely remain.
REST IN POWER, FRANCO #32!
The Super Bowl was much better when it was just a football game
I agree. I miss the day games, too. Super Bowl X under the bright sun was amazing. We'll never see that again.
This is absolutely fantastic! I always love hearing the odd Steelers highlight set to Jack Fleming's call, but an entire Super Bowl? Holy smokes!
Also, how has Cope all but predicting that safety not gotten more attention over the years? I almost fell off my couch when I heard that the first time!
Cope asked for a fumble and the Vikes delivered. He should get an assist on the safety.
When football was REAL.
Loved Myron.
Love this game
so well done. Looks like the compound on the cleats had yet to be perfected for artificial turf at the time. So many guys slipping.
Wow I remember watching this game as a kid... 21 yards rushing the whole game is hard core defense..
The actual official total was 17 yards.
Awesome. Crazy to watch football with contact. Those helmet slap are vicious
One of these Vikings appeared as a stste Minnesota supreme Court Justice
Clippings ruended careers..ruined GOT it?
This is great. So fun to hear Myron again. Thanks.this should be done for every Cope broadcast.
Many thank from Australia for this recording.
Thank you my friend 💝!!! Let's RAISE a Iron city and Fosters beer to Our Pittsburgh Steelers!!!!!!

A lot of people told me the Vikings had a very good offensive line but they never stood a chance against the Steel Curtain, or even Hank Stram's Chiefs!
Here they're playing against what I believe is the best front 7 in NFL history.
And the Vikings have sustained their choker reputation ever since. Kudos!
great to hear local broadcasters call the game
Thanks for posting your video and bringing back great Steeler Superbowl memories and hearing Myron Cope and the great Jack Fleming call the game too!
49:37 Cope called it.
He sure did. He was pretty excited about it, too! 😂
The fact that Chuck Foreman is not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame is one of the great injustices in pro sports.
Thank you, Tim, for doing these. I remember trying to match the 97 CD set with the 2008 DVD set and it was a pain.
RIP FRANCO HARRIS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A LEGEND AND AS A PACKERS FAN YOU GAVE ME THIS GREAT SUPERBOWL WIN 🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢😢
Hey thanks for bringing back the memories of real football
To me, the Steelers offensive line never got the credit they deserved, except for Mike Webster.
as a 19 year old this game is all ready amazing and im not 10 mins into the game
“Double Yoy!” Rest in Peace Myron and Tunch. I live very close to where Myron lived.
I miss the old commercials 😂😂
The Steelers were the only ones to go back to back twice
Thank you McMillen and wife! Love Jack Fleming and Myron Cope!
Fleming and Cope are the best. So much better watching while listening to them!
Good stuff… great memories!
I wish the NFL channel would show more Superbowls from the seventies
The kind of power running game that the Steelers had will never exist in pro football now. The game is arena football on a larger field now. Every play is a pass it seems. The 93 Cowboys was the best power running team I ever saw, and the Steelers, the early seventies Dolphins, and the sixties Packers proved their worth with the power run.
Mike Wagner gets overlooked on this defense but he's was an absolute beast!!!
Yes, very smart, very fundamentally sound player. He was the QB on defense and played a much bigger role in their success than he gets credit for. Rarely out of position and a player who wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
Jack Fleming was smooth
Good ol days
North Jersey Jets fan checking in to say thanks for uploading. Did you hear that shout-out to the little kid who fell and broke his cheek? Back when these combatants and the announcers had some dignity and character.
“There are two Super Bowl participants that nobody remembers. One. The team that lost the game. Two. The team that only won one.” - Dwight White.
That was terrific. Thanks for posting. I hadn't seen this since the original broadcast. (Can someone please explain why Gerela had to re-kick the first extra point when Minnesota was offside?)
Glad you enjoyed it! On Gerela’s PAT, they blew it dead before the kick because a Minnesota player made contact with a Steeler, making it encroachment instead of offsides.
@@mcmillenandwife Thank you. That explains it!
I was in 8th grade. Crazy.
The Cryboys probably had Super Bowl X banned for you. But seriously, THANK-YOU for posting this. Bill Hillgrove is good, but NO ONE was better than Jack Fleming, especially in his prime. Interesting that he mentioned spotter J. D. Fogarty - he was still doing spotting until just a few years ago. His son is still doing spotting work for the Steeler radio team. And Myron was always Myron. Goodness, I miss him. And how about those stone age graphics on the screen? (I have to say, I like the simplicity of them.) I may watch this clear through next week instead of the Chiefs / Eagles!
Agreed, I truly appreciate Hillgrove. But Fleming, especially paired with Cope, will always be my guy. Thanks for sharing about Fogarty, I didn't realize it was a family affair. Very cool!
You got that right Cryboys John Banaszak first coined the phrase
At least the ref's are keeping it real and consistent. Still bowing calls in 2023!!
STEELERS MAKE IT TOUGH by APOLOGETIX a great football song
I don't think that people fully grasp how dominant the Steelers defense was on this particular day. The Vikings only score came off a special teams play. Otherwise it could have been the only shut out in Super Bowl history
Vikings couldnt run a foot and Tarkenton spent the game running for his life.The Steel Curtain killed it on this day.And Myron Cope called it just before the safety giving the Steelers the 2-0 lead😂😊
Rip Franco
Freddy "The Foot" Cox became a very successful chiropractor and invented the Nerf Ball!
You are a TRUE Steeler Tim! Thanks again.
Looked like the Vikings griped a lot about the Steelers gang tackling
The first steelers super bowl dynasty
Watching back then, the only teams that had any sucess at all against the Steeler defense was the teams that cut block the front four and had a lead blocker to take on the first linebacker to arrive for the back. Trying to match up with them failed miserably.
OMG that hit at 1:04:43.
Yeah, Edwards lit him up, BIG time. Can you imagine that kind of hit happening now? The folks on ESPN would be openly weeping during the replay.
The amount of fumbles this game had was crazy lol
Yeah, turnovers in that era of football were just part of the game. Crazy. The ‘79 Steelers committed the most turnovers in the league with 52 and won the Super Bowl. They beat the Rams, who committed the 2nd most turnovers with 49. That will NEVER happen again. The Steelers and Oilers combined for 14 turnovers in the 1978 AFC Championship. The Steelers and Raiders combined for 12 turnovers in the ‘75 AFC Championship. Unimaginable today.

Karl Eller. . .my God. .this is from a million years ago.
Fantastic! Many thanks.
Our pleasure!
Thanks, enjoyed that old classic game, football turned weak!
If the field wasn't so slippery, I believe the Steelers would of have at least 28 points or better and the Vikings would have the 6. Just my opinion.
This was supposed to be played at the Louisiana Superdome but it was not completed, so the game was moved to Tulane Stadium. It was the last NFL game played there.
I wonder what the difference would have been had they were able to play indoors.
The NFL no longer grants a city a Super Bowl unless the stadium is finished.
The difference would have been that everyone would have been just a little bit warmer while the Steelers were kicking the s*** out of Minnesota.
@@danacoleman4007 I doubt the score would have only been 16-6
Given the Steelers' success in the Super Bowl era, it is often overlooked that for their first 40 years in the NFL, they were the least successful team in the league. The team joined the league in 1933 (they were a semi-pro team before then) but never won a championship before the merger and they only made the playoffs once which they lost. All that changed when Chuck Knoll became head coach in 1969. Since the merger, the Steelers along with New England are the most successful teams in the league, each having won six Super Bowls.
Classic commentary. Jack Fleming. Myron Cope best there was
Cope Called the fumble
The games were rigged even back then. Cope got a copy of the script 😅.
Get it before the despotic YT censors do.
😂
@@mcmillenandwife
I feel your pain. You've been unfairly put through the ringer by YT all of these many years. Thank you for your continued devotion and your diligence.
@@jeffersonianideal, very glad to do it. 👍🏻
@@mcmillenandwife
Your steadfast dedication is exemplary. You are the consummate Steelers fan in every sense of the word.
Tim, thank you for for your work in preserving the video history of the team. As a Steeler fan for 50 years, I appreciate the opportunity to revisit these moments.
The earlier comments are spot on... I thought I was the only on muting Kurt + the NBC Steeler haters + the Oakland-John Madden cabal. Anyway great dubbing job, hearing Jack + Myron, so many great and hilarious calls/commentaries..... the 70's were definitely the Steeler as D Bowie said those Golden Years... God bless all
Was drafting Bradshaw Knoll's idea of that of the GM?
It was a combination. Noll stated he absolutely wanted Bradshaw, who he viewed as the best player in the 1970 draft. Art Rooney said they considered trading the pick to St. Louis for a bunch of starters, but Dan Rooney said he had no interest in a trade once they won the coin toss with Chicago (who was also 1-13) to get the #1 pick, and Bradshaw was always their choice.
I felt just like traveling in time. Thank you for this fantastic upload 🥲
So glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to check out our site. Quite a few games synced with Fleming and Cope. www.mcmillenandwife.com/steelers_mp4.html
@@mcmillenandwife thank you!
I saw this in real time...I pulled for the Vikes....game was a lot tougher than on paper...Steelers led only 2-0 by the half on a safety
I have to disagree. This was worse than it looks on paper. An utter annihilation of the Vikings. If not for a blocked punt, it would've been a shutout. The Steelers were penalized for more yards than the Vikings gained in total offense. Pittsburgh ran 57 times for 249 yds; the Vikings ran 21 times for 17 yds. The Vikings were an excellent team... but this was a brutal beatdown.
@@mcmillenandwife know that I think back....ugh...awful....the Vikes were a mystery....beat the crap out of KC in preseason after SB 4....lost out as spoilers on Dolphins undefeated season by a last second FG....and went down to the wire with Steelers at Three Rivers the season before this....in every SB appearance they played like a hungover semi-pro team....still a mystery....SB stage fright I guess
@@anthonydileonardo8156 The ‘70s Vikings were fantastic. They just had the misfortune of facing 3 of the greatest teams in NFL history in the Super Bowl (Steelers, Dolphins and Raiders of the ‘70s). Not sure KC ranks that high, but they were outstanding, too.
@@mcmillenandwife KC's slide began after that X-Mas playoff marathon against Miami....after they lost, it started to go sideways
@@anthonydileonardo8156 The only thing that I disagree with you about is the Vikings beating KC Chief's was the first regular season game the next season following the Super bowl and not a preseason game
Steelers goat
So they did throw one pass to Swann and he caught it. It just that it didn't count. I was surprised how much they threw to Stall.
LC was a beast.

Classic super bowl vikings steelers a year after the vikings and dolphins in super bowl 8
It's a shame that Fran Tarkenton didn't manage to win at least one Super Bowl during his illustrious career. Despite all his accomplishments, when people remember him today, the first thing thing that will come to their minds is, "He lost three Super Bowls." It's not flattering.
Not winning it all hurt his legacy, for sure. Still, he’s a Hall of Famer and at the time he retired, he held just about every meaningful passing record. A great player, but you’re right, the Super Bowl losses are a major blemish.
@@mcmillenandwife The same can be said about Jim Kelly. Despite all his achievements, when most people remember him, they'll say something like, "Yeah, he was a great player but he lost four Super Bowls." I agree that those losses don't take anything away from his accomplishments but getting this far and not winning is something many fans don't you live down.
Yeah, the Super Bowl loss to the Giants kind set Jim Kelly's trajectory. That was their best chance to win, and getting bested by Jeff Hostetler isn't good for legacy building. Kelly was obviously a great QB, obviously, but winning championships is the true measuring stick of greatness for QBs..
@@mcmillenandwife Hostetler was not a great QB (then again, neither was Mark Rypien) but he and the Giants executed a brilliant strategy that defeated the Bills - ball control. Hostetler knew that the best way to neutralize Buffalo's potent offense was to keep their offense off the field. New York controlled the ball for just over 40 minutes of that game, But despite that, the Bills and Kelly very nearly won. In the 19 minutes they controlled the ball, they still scored 17 points and were in a position to win the game but for that missed FG at the last second. So that loss was not Kelly's fault but a loss is still a loss and as I said, that's all most people will remember.
@@georgfriedrichhandel4390 Agreed, the Giants had a great game plan (credit Bill Parcels) and Hostetler managed to execute well enough to win. That was a truly EXCELLENT Giants defense, but I thought Buffalo would win because: Kelly > Hostetler. To me, that Super Bowl was Parcels’ greatest coaching performance.
Franco was renouncing he made friends when the game was over
