One Game not on the list which I would have liked to have seen is the thanksgiving day game at the lions in the late 80's which we won 44 - 40 with the 83 yard punt return by Water Stanley in the last minute to win it.
I was working at the time and as the UK didn't show live TV brodcasts of the NFL then I was listening on Armed Forces Radio and Television Services (AFRTS).
When WS returned the punt I was screaming and jumping up and down for all it was worth!!!
I have until this day never seen any highlights of this game.
I would have thought if the TV broadcast was available this was one game that would have been on the list.
Ironically that game was the first Packer game I actually sat down and watched.
I was 8 years old and I remember it was realy cold that day (didnt want to go outside) and there was only 1 TV and everyone was watching the game so I figured i'd watch it too.I remember everyone in the house screaming at the end then we had Thanksgiving dinner,great memory.
And I guess that was the day I became a Packer fan.
I collect Packer games on DVD as a hobby and I have that one in my collection,I also have the highlights and in the very near future i'll upload the hilgihts on to youtube.
As for the Packers DVD it is indeed about time they do something like this.The NFL could make a lot of money if they would make classic games avalible which it appears they are doing.
The reason the Ice Bowl & Super Bowls 1 & arent out there is because the orginal broadcasts of those games dont exist to anyone's knowledge.
I guess what happned is all the TV stations recorded over all the flim of those games and obviously they didnt have VCRs back then so nobody could record the games in their own homes.
The TV stations recorded over old film to save money,nice going they all recorded over the greatest football game ever played.I guess there is still some hope that maybe there is a complete orginal broadcast of the Ice Bowl and the first 2 Super Bowls out there somehwere that havent been found yet.
They did manage to find the Original broadcast of the 1961 NFL Championship game at Lambeau vs the Giants.Im superized they didnt offer that one on the DVD set.
