Full Color Football - #4

I am a NYJ fan since 1965. I still love the AFL.

This is the definitive series on the AFL-NFL merge, and the rise of football in America

There that movie again .

There is that 🎶music again

Love that old 🎶music

The Raiders won the Heidi game and ultimately finished the season with a 12-2 record (and in addition won a sudden death playoff game against Kansas City 41-6 because they finished with a 12-2 record as well). Despite having a 12-2 record (the Jets finished 11-3) and beating the Jets in this game-the Raiders had to go to NY to play the Jets in the AFL title game because of a stupid rule that alternated the AFL championship every year between the East and the West and 1968 was the East's turn to host it. If the Raiders had hosted the AFL title game they would have been in SB3 instead of the Jets

I see an anti-Nixon sentiment, you’re talking 1967-1968 in this segment, Lyndon Johnson was president. Aim your criticism at him

Love the legal clotheslines and spearing

Joe brought more women to sports than the WNBA and Women’s soccer

Len Dawson R.I.P

Namath's guarantee on a win is completely overrated. It was really a no risk move. If the Jets win, he is a legend. If the Jets lose, no big deal, he gets props for his belief in his team.

I remember the old RAIDERS and al Davis we could be the greatest teams in the history of football all wanted the afc not to join and compete with them that would have been fun

1968 saw the african americans coming into the league at linebacker and even qb. that is great. here it is 2022 and every friggin player in the nfl is black, every worker at the v.a. is black, every worker at the post office is black, every work at every city hall is black and the blacks still want free housing, food stamps, free medical and oh yea, reparations in the tune of a million dollars per black person in america. i am so glad we set them free.

For Lenny and those guys to simply want to thank Joe for his triumphant victory, man, that says something..I sit here watching this, wondering how my father must’ve felt as a young 13-14 year old, after the victory. Probably, how I felt after the giants did it in 07-08…man…..

Players like Ladd and Wahoo made more money in wrestling.

Dan Rather doesn't know anything about football. The problem with the NFL is having people like Dan Rather anywhere near it.

I’m glad Lombardi had to watch an AFL team win the Super Bowl.

Imagine actually caring in a pre season game? 66 points??? Today the overpaid crybabies go on social media and say they're practicing load management.

I'm reading a Russian history book right now. Ben Davidson does look like Tsar Nicholas II with his handlebar mustache!

The face of the Raider logo was modeled after B+ movie star Randolph Scott. The likeness is certainly there.

They need a new merger AFC Teams Mixed With NFC Teams / the 4 mega divisions NFC EAST/ Steelers/ Eagles / Commanders / Ravens / Giants / NY Jets / Patriots/ Panthers / NFC NORTH / Colts / Bears / Browns / Packers / Bengals / Lions / Bills / Vikings The New Black & Blue Division/ The 2 Mega Divisions of The New NFC Conference THE AFC / Mainly Some Expansions Teams With Old Franchises/ AFC South / Cowboys / Texans / Saints / Dolphins/ Falcons/ Jaguars / Buccaneers/ Titans / The New AFC West / Chiefs / 49ers / Raiders / Rams / Broncos / Cardinals / Chargers / Seahawks/ The 2 Mega Divisions For The NEW AFC Conference....I did the research for this Fomat * The Traveling is Perfect for Both Sides / When Playing Each other in The Conference Play / Eagles Steelers Twice A Season / Cowboys Texans Twice / 49ers Raiders Twice / Jaguars / Dolphins / Buccaneers twice / Giants / Jets Twice / Ravens / Commanders Twice / Ahhh The Rivalry Renewed between The Colts / Bears / Colts / Packers/ Colts / Vikings / Colts Vikings / Same with The Browns in The New NFC NORTH/ bringing back The old NFL before 1970.. I dont know Why The League Now Wont do that / Why wait 4 years for those dream match ups stop with nfc north vs afc north every 4 years.. & etc.. To be honest The colts situation now how are they rival with the titans / jaguars / & texans The Colts Join The NFL in 1953 / so how are they rival with the texans 2002 / The Titans 1959 previously known as the Houston Oilers The Jaguars 1995 / ???? Just Saying..

God this mini series was awesome!!

The 1966 Chiefs couldn’t compete with the good NFL teams. They would have beaten maybe half the NFL teams.

If you watch the Joe Namath episode of A Football Life, it goes a bit more into detail of why and how Joe knew he could beat the Colts' vaunted defense. Watching their game film, he saw that they always did a certain thing when they lined up a certain way, so the Jets' plan for calling plays was that in the huddle, Namath would just call the formation and the snap count, then when they would line up at the line of scrimmage, Namath would see how the Colts' defense was lined up, and would call the play from there.

That's why he won the MVP in that Super Bowl. His play-calling and control of the time of possession was what won that game.

what's the name of the song playing during the 11 angry men segment?

STEELERS MAKE IT TOUGH by APOLOGETIX a great football song

MAN ON THE RUN by APOLOGETIX a great song for all the running backs

JULY 21 MY BIRTHDAY

The answer is IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT JESUS IS LORD, AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD SHALL BE SAVED

One small correction: Garland Boyette was the first black middle linebacker in history. He played the position for the Houston Oilers in 1967, one year before the great Willie Lanier played the position for Kansas City in 1968.

AFL until I die! What an EXCEPTIONAL era of professional football!!!

Too many privelaged athletes.

I think it must have been awesome to be Rex Ryan as a kid. To have a dad with a coaching job in pro football, and to have the opportunity to grow up immersed in the game…how in the hell could you not be a football man for life? Oh yeah, throw in tthe fact your dad revolutionized playing defense in the NFL too. Love or hate Rex Ryan, there’s no doubt the man could coach football.

Man...the way Joe & those guys talked about the Jets winning makes u tear up a little. Im not a Jets fan but that was a huge victory for em

My first team was the 1967 Denver Broncos. I was born in Denver in 1960. In 1968 I also became a Washington Redskins fan. My mom went to school with Sonny Jurgenson. Denver and Washington are still my favorite teams. And Washington will always be the REDSKINS!!!

The colts threw the game. Rosenbloom was a cheapskate and this is the result

This is an excellent series.

I'm from Michigan and a Lion's Fan, of course... I've always preferred the NFC & Original NFL Teams and rarely route for the AFC... BUT, Al Davis & the Oakland Raiders were the only exception..!!

Long live Mr. Bob Kalsu, I felt that.

Namath and Marino had that great quick release.

Cookie Gilchrist Was Fun Too Watch He Was The Afl Most Talented Powerful Fullback The Nfl Took , Notice All The Fans Knew The Afl Had Some Superstars 😅😊😮😮😊

The Jets have not had much success in decades but it was that franchise that kept the AFL going to reach the NFLs equal

Aaron Rodgers just sent the Jets back to 1967 levels

The Chiefs didn't take that game with the Bears as a pre season game

Pretty sure I've seen footage of that woman running out on a baseball diamond too!😂

Wow, if it isn't the annoying grammarly ads, its obnoxious interruptions pimping the worst video games ever invented. Oh, well, I guess there has to be a place for the worst writers, designers, and voice actors in the universe to go.

Both Pat Tillman and Bob Kalsu died as heroes RIP gentleman

The AFL won like 11 out of the first 15 Super Bowls, then the AFC only won one more with the Raiders until Denver and Elway went back to back in the late 90's.
