Joe Kapp. The toughest Chicano. The single bar, frozen tundra of old Metropolitan Stadium - he always exuded such toughness and ferocity. Love these highlights
I raise a toast and three cheers to the tough qb the late Joe Kapp, Dave Volsky and Da Vinci Resolve! BRAVO! Great player and amazing clarity in all these tribute clips of Kapp!
my boyhood idol. I still say if he had stayed with the Vikings the would've won it all after the '70 season and been a serious Super Bowl contender in '71 too.
RIP legendary Injun Joe. No other quarterback like him then and since. Win or Die trying. Interesting fact: he was an associate producer on the 1978 great teen angst film 'Over the Edge.' Got his passing technique from throwing cabbages when they didn't have a football.
Excellent video! I thought I had seen most all of the NFL Films video on Joe Kapp, but there is stuff on here that is Pure Gold! I have been a Vikings fan since 1968, and Joe Kapp was my idol… Everything I owned, was purple with #11 on it.
It's great to have another Volsky production, even if the subject matter is a rather sad one. These past 2 months without a new Volsky release have proven to me beyond a doubt that every day with a new Volsky video is like Christmas morning, and every day without one is like the third day of Lent.
The voice of John Facenda & that iconic music brings back great childhood memories!! That was comical when Hank Stram was in the sidelines laughing at Kap's throw LOL
He is and was my idol. Being half Mexican American with an Irish American father, Joe was an inspiration to me. Someone to look up to as a multiracial person amd role model in a time when there were very few.
The NFL and NFL Films in there wisdom has cut this out from there Super Bowl tape of Super Bowl four. Dave thank you for restoring this and reliving the Viking portion of the tape.
I remember when Kapp and the Vikings lost to the Colts in the 1968 playoffs. Kapp vowed he would seek revenge against the Colts in the Vikings home opener of the 1969 season. As it turned out Kapp and the Vikings humiliated the Colts 52-21 with Kapp throwing an NFL record 7 TD in one game. I always wondered what Kapp would have done to the KC Chiefs in the opening game of the 1970 season had he been able to sign with the Vikings in 1970 and not left for Boston
Hey Dave, I saw the interesting reply you wrote to my comment, but for some reason it isn't showing up here. Sounds exciting, and I'm looking forward to whatever you've got in the pipeline!
"'... Dagwood Bumstead trying to catch a bus" Hahaha! People were excited when he came to Boston. He was expected to lead us out of the woods and deep into the playoffs. He, unfortunately, took beatings from every direction. They gave him very little to work with.
Somehow, the Vikings didn't include Kapp on its list of the Top 50 Vikings of all time. The inspirational leader of the franchise's first Super Bowl contender? C'mon. My guess is that the Vikings were being incredibly petty about the failed contract talks that they had with Kapp after the 1969 season--many, many years ago I also think they should have signed him no matter what given what he meant to the team and all that he gave to his position and the success the Vikings enjoyed under him.
The Chiefs just had a better defense in the Super Bowl. Otherwise Injun Joe was unstoppable. He took a hell of a beating in the game but always got up.
It was the loss in Super Bowl IV. The beating he took in that Super Bowl changed him as a QB. He just lost it, but he did play 1 season for New England.
@@joseport6863 Well its a lament. I was at that Super Bowl game as a kid, and saw them that entire season on TV as they bulldozed team after team. they were an unbelievably great team, but lost on that day. It was certainly not meant as disparaging in any way.
Tony Luisi does have a name for this song. And someone told me along time , damn the memory goes, If you ever find out let me know I will keep hunting and if I find out will let you know.
It's possible that I told you a title that wasn't an official title. 'Doomsday' may have been it. That would've been just a title that we gave to the track since we didn't know what the official title was. I now know that the official title is just "Vikings' Theme".

He was my Mom's Cousin. He was Larger than Life to me. I'm going to miss him....
you’re not alone bro i’m a minnesota boy born years after he played and to me he’s the ultimate viking.
Tough as nails
He was a total bad ass you should take pride being a relative of a legend like Joe 👍
It's players like Joe Kapp that made me a Vikings fan for life...thanks so much for this, Dave!!!!
Im 💯 viking
Born and Raised in California… but I’ve bled Viking Purple since 1968…
Joe Kapp. The toughest Chicano. The single bar, frozen tundra of old Metropolitan Stadium - he always exuded such toughness and ferocity. Love these highlights
R.I.P. Joe, Bud and Steve. Thank you Dave for your beautiful video enhancement and edit. It is like an incredible childhood time machine.
Quite possibly the toughest QB to ever play in the NFL. So sad to have lost both Joe Kapp and Bud Grant so close together. Both, all-time greats.
I raise a toast and three cheers to the tough qb the late Joe Kapp, Dave Volsky and Da Vinci Resolve! BRAVO! Great player and amazing clarity in all these tribute clips of Kapp!
Great work, Dave!
R.I.P. to The Toughest Chicano.
Respect forever for Joe Kapp, definitely an NFL Hero of mine!
my boyhood idol. I still say if he had stayed with the Vikings the would've won it all after the '70 season and been a serious Super Bowl contender in '71 too.
Looks great, Dave! It's remarkable what can be done with existing footage.
This is easily the best HD transfer of old NFL Films I've seen
Thank you! I don't post crap footage like a lot of other channels :)
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 That's because you're the G.O.A.T. of NFL Films youtube channels.
60 frames per second makes all the difference on TH-cam
Awesome field general
How you doing !! Great compliment coming from you !!
@@6400az jus being honest

Dave, NFL Films needs to employ you. This was amazing to watch.
Steve Sabol was right, football played outdoors in Minnesota makes for great footage.
I was probably 1 when Kapp was playing but I love watching these old highlights. Sad to see he’s no longer with us.
"I'm sorry but I cannot accept this award for best Viking player...because there are over 40 best Viking players"
Joe Kapp
Love it Dave. Thanks so much.
It's great to have another Volsky production, even if the subject matter is a rather sad one. These past 2 months without a new Volsky release have proven to me beyond a doubt that every day with a new Volsky video is like Christmas morning, and every day without one is like the third day of Lent.
Wow that's amazingly sharpness, Dave. At some points, I think I'm seeing a live game on HDTV. Great work!
The voice of John Facenda & that iconic music brings back great childhood memories!!
That was comical when Hank Stram was in the sidelines laughing at Kap's throw LOL
Looks amazing!!!
One the most underrated players in NFL history. A Warrior and a great leader on the field.
He is and was my idol. Being half Mexican American with an Irish American father, Joe was an inspiration to me. Someone to look up to as a multiracial person amd role model in a time when there were very few.
You ever wonder if he is still fighting with Angelo Mosca in the great beyond?
The NFL and NFL Films in there wisdom has cut this out from there Super Bowl tape of Super Bowl four. Dave thank you for restoring this and reliving the Viking portion of the tape.
U got to be a real men to play in those days..go vikings
Loved Joe Kapp
Football was so much tougher back then. Most of today's players wouldn't last the season
I remember when Kapp and the Vikings lost to the Colts in the 1968 playoffs. Kapp vowed he would seek revenge against the Colts in the Vikings home opener of the 1969 season. As it turned out Kapp and the Vikings humiliated the Colts 52-21 with Kapp throwing an NFL record 7 TD in one game. I always wondered what Kapp would have done to the KC Chiefs in the opening game of the 1970 season had he been able to sign with the Vikings in 1970 and not left for Boston
The More Than a Game segment featuring Kapp includes perhaps the debut of many of Sam Spence's signature musical pieces
I love your videos. Always look forward to them. Thanks
These guys rsn to the contact, hard hitting football players, probably and arguably the most vivious hitting era of football
It's amazing this guy only played 4 years in the NFL.
The Vikes and Kapp left it all out there in the NFL Championship game.
I understand Joe wanted to get paid but he should have stayed in Minnesota. His 1970 season with the Patriots was one of the worst in nfl history.
I love Joe Kapp
I'm a bit surprised Sabol made the remark, but Kapp wasn't the League MVP in '69, Gabriel was.

That kind of tackling @ 20:32 is outlawed now and rightfully so but it was legal when I played, I love football then and it's alright now
The Chiefs just had a better defense in the Super Bowl. Otherwise Injun Joe was unstoppable. He took a hell of a beating in the game but always got up.
That catch @20:50 I watched it on tv that day, I thought it was Zgreat catch then andI think its a great catch now.

Kapp wasn’t talented, but he had guts and was a winner. Can’t recall why he left the Vikings.
It was the loss in Super Bowl IV. The beating he took in that Super Bowl changed him as a QB. He just lost it, but he did play 1 season for New England.
Contract dispute.
DOME stadiums kind of ruined football
And artificial turf
The greatest team that never won the Super Bowl - the Joe Kapp era Vikings.
Ok, but that really isn't a complement.
@@joseport6863 Well its a lament. I was at that Super Bowl game as a kid, and saw them that entire season on TV as they bulldozed team after team. they were an unbelievably great team, but lost on that day. It was certainly not meant as disparaging in any way.
Kapp & Grant: Canada's affair...
Viva Zapata to tha’ Nth degree!
Jesus I got CTE from watching this. Especially 1:02 and 1:43
Make Kirk cousins watch this be aggressive for Pete’s sake!🤬
What was the song called you toldme a long time ago . Purple gang theme . Forgot old age. Thanks
Simply titled "Vikings' Theme"
Really , thought it was like doomsday or something like that. Thanks.@@davevolskysbackdoor5673
Tony Luisi does have a name for this song. And someone told me along time , damn the memory goes, If you ever find out let me know I will keep hunting and if I find out will let you know.
It's possible that I told you a title that wasn't an official title. 'Doomsday' may have been it. That would've been just a title that we gave to the track since we didn't know what the official title was. I now know that the official title is just "Vikings' Theme".
That's ok.....I refer to Pop March, the Joe Kapp theme.@@davevolskysbackdoor5673
