Sports announcers today should listen to these legends doing the play by play and commentary and try to follow their example.  What a pleasure listening to these games.  Today’s games are better watched with no volume.

Wow, there aren't 500 people on the sidelines.

Chris Shenkel was such a pro!

I like the comment that everyone in the stands was wearing hunter’s red. Back then, before the invention of day-glow orange, a simple red plaid jacket was what hunters wore.

Jim Taylor (after the game):  "The Giants were more worried about the weather.  We just worried about the game."

Chris Schenkel ... great voice and underrated ...

Oh, and btw, I was at the game. I was very cozy and warm in my mom's belly, thank you.

And just three years earlier the Packers won just one game. I wish more of these early games were saved. These are priceless. THANKS for leaving in the original commercials which are also a time capsule.
By 1961 the NFL was firmly entrenched on American television and a point of no return. Baseball wasn't going to be America's favorite sport for much longer.

This is a great find for me on Youtube. Born in 1953 it is just a little before my time as living in STL I can tell the first season I followed the St. Louis football Cardinals was the 1963 season and well remember the NFL championship game between the Bears and the Giants that year. I am really familar though with the players on these teams a couple years prior in 1961. Ever since STL Rams owner Stan Kroenke snubbed his nose on the riverfront stadium approved by St. Louis so he could instead build SOFI in order to go against him and force the NFL to keep the Rams in STL, I have become a Packers fan. What a great run they had in the 1960s and remember the Giants team here well as the STL Cardinals played in the Eastern conference with them. Thanks for placing on Youtube.

Lindsey Nelson and Chris Schenkel:
TWO LEGENDARY COMMENTATORS!

This is my first recollection of watching the Packers. I remember there was some concern whether several members of the Packers would play since they were in the Wisconsin National Guard and the Berlin Wall crisis was going on. But everyone showed up and Lombardi won his first championship.

3:17:43 the man in the black & white hat with the white jacket & red hoodie is my grandfather. We have a professional taken photo from the press of this moment on the field hanging in our living room

I was 26....days old when this game was played.

8 years before I was born. Love videos of any kind from the 60's.

Amazing bit of NFL history so well preserved. I watched the whole game. Spent some time afterward researching many of these great players — so sad to discover such a high percentage of them passed away due to dementia and/or CTE. That said, many of these men lived well into their 80s and some into their early 90s…

This is just priceless, thank you. Thanks also for including studio commentary & commercials.

When America was great, it truly was a shining city on a hill.

Lindsey Nelson was probably the best football announcer in history.

I only meant to watch a little bit.  Man...this stuff is just fascinating.  So much here.  Wow, your star middle LB is playing on special teams? The rb's lined up really close to the line of scrimmage, too.  Thanks for the upload.  Tony in Oregon Feb 2021

I remember watching the Bart Starr show as a kid in the 70’s when my family was stationed at K.I. Sawyer AFB near Marquette, Michigan.
