Looks like they mixed in real game footage with new stuff for the TV movie.

Has anyone here watched it or has it?

Yeah...I saw it when it was on TV. I don't remember much because I was probably picturing McHale's Navy every time he opened his mouth.

Odd...as I watched the clip of Lombardi's first win, I swear to god I saw Gale Sayers running for the Bears and Zeke Bratkowski already with the Pack in 1959. Haha... oh well, it got the point across I suppose.

I think Ernie even looks a bit like Vince.
Or is that just me?

I remember watching it on TV here in Chicago when it was first shown: Friday, December 14, 1973.

The only way I can picture ernest borgnine is in that cheesy 80's show "air wolf"

The Lombardi statue outside lambeau looks more like Borgnine than Lombardi. Maybe the sculptor saw the movie and thought Lombardi was playing himself.
