I watched these episodes with my uncle months before he passed. Thanks for sharing the memories and making his transition somewhat peaceful showing things he enjoyed as a youth.
RIP John Brockington of the Green Bay Packers, just passed March 31, 2023. I begab watching these NFL film weekly highlights in 1968. I love the old films music provided be Sam Spence.
Ditto. As a kid, I was a helmet freak. Collected the gumball helmets; drew all the team helmets with my dad's markers. Loved how colorful the league was back then. Add in the old Buccaneers & Seahawks helmets....helmet Nirvana! Back before every team was so infatuated with black or dark, dark blue.
I love my old twipf videos I watched these in the Bronx in the early 70s used my tape recorder to tape the music and me and my friends would play ball imitating our favorite players mostly on defense
The best Brookshire story was when he was with the Eagles, Sonny Jurgenson broke curfew, he stole a cigar smoking Indian statue from a tobacco store, put the blanket over it and escaped out the window to see women. Brookshire plugged the Indian statue in to make it smoke, Sonny's room was full of smoke and was busted! Courtesy of Brookshire!😃
These are SO much fun to watch. This was when I first started actually WATCHING football with my older brother and his friends. I was 8 years old and they were around 14-16. I started off liking the Rams (Because I thought "Lamar Lundy" was a great name) but then I was informed in NO uncertain terms that we are a Bears family. Period. So this was my beginnings of a Bears fan. No one can call me a "bandwagon fan". I also remember when Sweetness was drafted, my brother said "Who the hell is THAT? Another wasted draft pick" He's come to his senses since. NOw highlights are not the same with no John Fusinta and no "drunken sailor" music.
I always loved their white jerseys-orange pants-blue socks combination which they wore on the road from 1968-71 and 1978-79 (and for all of their home games in 1971 too).
22:41 This is almost literally every pass Billy Kilmer ever threw. Rumor has it, he actually threw a spiral once....in a torrential downpour, when the ball slipped out of his hand.
Just like most things. It was better then. All the video and coverage now. But the game , music and announcers made this era magical. They were larger then life titans. Not injury riddled cry babies .
I love the way summerall and brookshier narrate these games,quite unlike today's commentators who want to talk everything to death. They sound like gossiping women.
That's part of why it is to simply best to ignore all the talk/analysis shows. One of the reasons I love going to the games is no commercials no talk. Just live Football.
The Chargers vs Raiders game wasn't played at Balboa Stadium as announced. If you watch closely, the scoreboard clearly says "San Diego Stadium" its name until renamed Jack Murphy Stadium.
Remember when football players were allowed to actually touch each other? Fragile Tom Brady would have died of dehydration on the spot if he saw this eras defenders. Packer QB had helmet torn off in a sack, which today would have a defender in prison.
12:50 Whoa, Pat Summerall made a rare goof referring to the Chargers home stadium as Balboa Stadium. The Chargers last season at Balboa Stadium was 1966, after that they moved to the modern day Qualcomm/SDCCU Stadium where the game in this film was played.
Those moves in the Charley Taylor segment are REE-DONKULOUS! The play at 33:32 is so outrageous that the referee can't get out of the way and nearly gets killed.
Elmo Wright who pioneered the TD celebration was about to go into this signature high step at 10:50, and then stopped when he realized the ref did not award him the TD.
I here ya players back in the day had class a lot of class now an interception is an opportunity for a photo shoot so lame a touchdown back in the day was just a toss back to the ref now it's stupid theatrical crap I loved the NFL in the 70s 80s and 90s but not so much anymore
Nice view but it wasn't Balboa Stadium, it was the newer stadium in Mission Valley later called Jack Murphy Stadium, then Qualcomm, now SDCCU Stadium. Summerall might have been a bit distracted.
John Brockington was the whole package. Big strong and fast. On the play it's looks like they let the Broncos overpursue one side. then Green Bay got some good sealing blocks on the left side. That sprang the Brock.
One of those years I can't remember if it was 1972 or 1973 but one of those years he had a thousand yards but they put them in the game and he lost yardage so I believe that's why he had 997 and 73 cuz he lost 5 yards on a play if I remember correctly
What's worse, the way the Eagles played or those white unis they wore forcing the 'Boys to wear the blue jerseys that usually figured in a loss - but not against those clipped-winged Eagles. Those Gi-ants were so bad that even if they had Randy "Big Unit" Johnson throwing, it wouldn't have helped. Love those pithy one-liners that Brooksie and Pat say so well...
The 1970's were not too kind to either the Eagles or the Giants. For most of the decade, the NFC East was a two team race(Dallas and Washington). Then both Philadelphia and New York turned things around in the 80's. And suddenly the Division became very crowded.
George Allen was a smart man with, "The Future is Now." Picked up good veteran players that knew their stuff, made the Redskins instant winners. I mean, how much longer should Redskins fans back then, be asked to wait?
@sour airhead They absolutely DID have good reasons to be impatient. Otto Graham's teams could score 35-40 points - and STILL lose the game. That went on for ages.
@@bigjoe4110 Allen drafted camp bodies so the veterans could beat the shit out of them, then cut the poor rookies. He ran the most brutal training camps in NFL history and held three-hour full-contact practices during the regular season.
I think Al Nelson returned a similar missed FG for a 100 yard TD against the Browns in 1966 at 17:55. Can’t say I ever liked the Eagles white helmets 🤢.
Ol' Tom Brookshier... I was watching a game and of course Pat Summeral was the co-announcer when out of the blue Tom starts rankin on Loisvilles NCAA basketball team, about how low their I.Q was, Pat tried to blow it off but Tom wouldnt shut up. Even in my youth of 12-13 yrs I KNEW Ol Tom done fucked up, he never called another game for CBS or anybody
They were designed by Vince Lombardi. Unfortunately, he died of cance r before he ever got to coach them in a game wearing those unis. They wore them in the 1970 and 1971 seasons.
Lombardi had built them up and allen put them over the hump.unfortunately for them, in the super bowl a year later, they met a team on a much higher level
@@herbpetrillo163 The Packers and Redskins played twice during the regular season and divisional playoffs in 1972 the year the Redskins went with the helmet logo that was worn until 2019
Back before the Berman-ization of football highlights, when it was sufficient for the presenters like Summerall & Brookshier to simply show the highlights in an intelligent, dignified way. Before ESPN decided that that wasn't entertaining enough, and had the presenters make themselves part of the entertainment, with their affected, faux enthusiasm and nearly-clever, aren't-I-cool schtick that pandered to the dumbest demographic of the viewing audience. And yes, I DO want you off my lawn.
And their bullshit political posturing never forget how that one bitch in 2003 crucified rush limbaugh for simply saying the truth...then keith whats his name rants...screw him...and screw berman.in loved it when curt schilling put that fugly bitch in her place....schilling for president.i'd vote for him.
Scott Hunter was damaged goods coming out of Alabama, much more so than Joe Namath. Jerry Tagge had no business in the NFL. The Packers could have drafted Lynn Dickey in 1971 and been set for 10-15 years.
The cowboys should wear the old blue jerseys like the ones the wore at philly in nfc title game in 81….. they were pissed in super bowl 5 cause nfl told them they had to wear the dark color for the super bowl being the designated home team and lost on last play
The downfield blocking was just atrocious in those days. Today high school teams are more skillful stretching out long passes and runs by clearing a nice path. The dirt .infields should have been outlawed forcing clubs to cover them up on Gameday or at least spread out the baseball schedules for cities with both NFL and MLB using the same venue. Houston had “AstroTurf” for gods sake how tough was it to simply roll out phony turf over a quarter of the field every other Sunday? Horse collar tackles hadn’t been outlawed as yet, you could get killed back them. Give me Steve Young you can keep Fran Tarkington. All this time I thought he was one of the greats.

Saturday mornings as a kid...I lived for this show every week
You live for it EVERY bloody moment of your tedious life. Charlie Taylor invades every second of your bloody football infested life
Me too. Still love it!
Me three..
I watched after I did my paper route!!
I first followed the NFL back in 1971. These priceless videos bring back great memories of old school football 🏈!
I started in '71 also! My Bears were 5-2....then went 1-6 ....who was your favorite??
I just started my senior year of high school that month. I watched this show every time. I love it!
Love the intro, brings back memories, gotta get me a pair of them Haggar slacks….
Thanks very much for posting. I have fond memories of watching these episodes as a kid. I love the highlights and heroic music from a bygone age.
I'm glad you enjoy it. I also watched TWIPF when I was very little. NFL History is a sincere passion of mine.
I was 12 years old, I loved these weekly highlights.
Saturday nights at 7:30 pm.
Those guys looked ROUGH!! I loved the MUSIC, and the show inspired me and the boys to go out to play 'tuch-ackle' in the street.
jstube I appreciate your posts. We lived for TWIPF back in the day.
Thank you for posting these! I remember the opening and how exciting it was! Actually remember John Unitas in his prime, and miss him badly!
Thanks for viewing. Glad you enjoy it.
FANTASTIC
thank you. Brings me back. Way back

I don't get it. What could Summerall _possibly_ be referring to??? :-P
LoL
LOL!! Can you imagine the uproar if that was broadcast today? SMH.
He was so distracted he thought it was Balboa Stadium.
I think the black screen pauses were commercials.
Those white C Bear helmets are awesome
Kinda wish they could've kept the old commercials
Thanks for uploading
Even though the Broncos sucked, their 70's uniforms were really slick. I wish they'd bring those back, along with the Big D/snorting Bronc logo
I always loved their white jerseys-orange pants-blue socks combination which they wore on the road from 1968-71 and 1978-79 (and for all of their home games in 1971 too).
They're back in 2024 as an alternate
Something went wrong with this video. Over half of the show was lost! It was just blank. Can you fix it?
This is FAR better than ESPN
Espn? You mean the marxist anti american network?
ESPN was good in the 1980's . Sucked since 1990. Political Marxist network
22:41 This is almost literally every pass Billy Kilmer ever threw. Rumor has it, he actually threw a spiral once....in a torrential downpour, when the ball slipped out of his hand.
Kilmer was fortunate to have Taylor and Jefferson as his wide outs
Kilmer was a WR on the 49ers.

Just like most things. It was better then. All the video and coverage now. But the game , music and announcers made this era magical. They were larger then life titans. Not injury riddled cry babies .

Eagles Bill Bradley rocked in 1971 with 11 interceptions.

The Chargers vs Raiders game wasn't played at Balboa Stadium as announced. If you watch closely, the scoreboard clearly says "San Diego Stadium" its name until renamed Jack Murphy Stadium.
John Hadl, Chargers QB #21, at 13:30 led the NFL in passing yards in 1971.
Those helmets are awesome

The Juice was a great slashing back. With a knifing stiff arm and loved to cut and run up field.

Packers win 34 -14 and had to use three QB’s. Trouble was brewing and it would last until 1993

The packer game? Was that played at the old Milwaukee county stadium?
Probably, they played 3 games a year there until the late 80s or early 90s.
I looked it up on the Pro Football Reference web site. It was indeed played at County Stadium in Milwaukee.
3:56 Man, O. J. Simpson could cut through a defense like a hot knife through an ex-wife!
O.j.simpson was a great running back ;; usc & Buffalo 🐃 Bill days : ❤️ Buffalo 🐃 Bill helmets
why are the cheerleaders in the end zone while a live play is happening?!
Noon Saturdays local ABC in TheLand
Cars parked on the field in San Diego. Plenty of space for them.
The Steelers had a car in the end zone to at three rivers in the 70’s
Lol look at them denver uniforms😲

54:09 WHY WAS THAT A TOUCHDOWN?, LOOKS LIKE A SAFETY
It looks like it wasn't a safety either, looks like the referee is spotting the ball at the 1-yard line. That's why Pat says sets up an easy touchdown
