Who won the MLB All Star Game
- Thread starter Salty

Well, when this old octo(+)genarian watches a game I am tuned in to see THE GAME - not hear the announcers palaver over Joe’s spectacular centerfield catch against his former team, or Mack’s sneaky fake to steal third 5 games ago! Also not interested in their theory of what Snitker thinks since Freddie ain’t there for his famous splits on first, etc, etc, etc!!!
Neither am I concerned about viewing any celebrities who might be in camera range, or any of their political $)<;-$.
IOW, I want to watch the game and cram a sock in MOST sportscaster’s overworked mouth!!!

Remember that NFL game that had no announcer!
Why NBC Once Covered an NFL Game With an Empty TV Booth
Or just turn off the volume - maybe listen on radio and watch the TV video
“It improved me. Consciously, to this day, there are moments in every sport that I do when I kind of throw up my hands as if to say to myself and to my partner, ‘Let’s not talk. This moment is special, we don’t need to talk. Let’s let it play.'”
I personally think this guy was very insightful & many moderns could benefit from his perspective.

The Cost To Go To the Super Bowl the Year You Were Born

WAY more demand for Super Bowl tickets today than when the Packers played the Chiefs on January 15, 1967, while stadium capacities are basically the same.
In fact the game was not even know as the Super Bowl - at least until SB III
. It was originally called the AFL–NFL World Championship Game
n the mid-1960s, Lamar Hunt, owner of the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs, first used the term "Super Bowl"[5] to refer to the AFL–NFL championship game in the merger meetings. Hunt later said the name was likely in his head because his children had been playing with a Super Ball toy;[6] a vintage example of the ball is on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. In a July 25, 1966, letter to NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle, Hunt wrote, "I have kiddingly called it the 'Super Bowl,' which obviously can be improved upon."

I was watching WAY back then. It could have been the Dallas Cowboys in the first two Super Bowls, especially the second one.
Green Bay played the first two SB for the NFL
SB I KC lost to t he Packers
SBII Oakland lost to the Packers

Yep. I was watching.
One of the ways to relate to others within our generation, and the following generations is to engage in common activities, such as following sports. One of the Elders at our church went out early for coffee at a hotel courtyard, thus he had an opportunity to witness to an ever changing audience of tourists. Another bought season tickets to LAA home games, and shared his four seats with people who came to our church occasionally. The three or so hour game gave him an opportunity to witness.
I think KenH was thinking of how close the Cowboys came to winning each of the NFC Championship games. They had 1st and goal late in the first one and couldn't score to force OT and lost the 2nd on the famous QB sneak in the Ice Bowl.
But the Cowboys won the NFC championship game on the infamous Drew Pearson offensive interference non-call against the Minnesota Vikings, so it all evens out...unless you cheer for the Vikings....

That one hurt, as at that time I liked Tarkenton even more than Staubach. (Even though I was in Philly for 2 of the latter's Army-Navy games - older brother was USMA 1965.)
