The Super Bowl

Yes...I am old enough to remember every Super Bowl!  Probably the most memorable (besides the 4 Viking losses) to me was when my dad purchased a new television right before Super Bowl III in January of 1969. 
Our 1968 Black & White Zenith with Rabbit Ear Antenna
The Baltimore Colts were a huge favorite (+19 points) to defeat the underdog New York Jets...the most astonishing part of "the biggest upset in Super Bowl history" was that New York's quarterback Joe Namath predicted a Jets win...
"we're gonna win the game...I guarantee it!"
"Broadway Joe"
Jets upset Colts 16-7
