Title: Sports Illustrated on the 1963 Championship Game
Post by: Giant Obsession on September 08, 2021, 01:37:10 AM
Tex Maule, one of the best sportswriters ever, reports on the 1963 NFL Championship (there was no Super Bowl until after the '66 season).
A bittersweet read and ending, nonetheless a part of our history.

Imagine a game of such magnitude where 2 TD drives that totaled 13 yards were the only points you give up and yet could not be overcome by one of the most powerful offenses in the league.

I'm sorry.  But I DO NOT want to get in a discussion about that game.  It's one I want to forget but I can't because it still sticks in my craw. ~X( ~X( ~X(

Richie Petibon intercepts Y.A. in the end zone with a few seconds left in the game.

I understand totally jimv.  I have actually had 2 dreams in my life about that game.

Sadly, I can not help but trip back to those "golden" days.

Sick, huh ???
