I've enhanced the surviving partial 30-minute end-of-game broadcast recording of the 1970 Week 13 Giants at Cardinals contest. This one cleaned up REALLY nice. I eliminated compression artifacts with Topaz, as well as upscaled, sharpened, and doubled the framerate. I then used Resolve to perform a much needed contrast adjustment and color balance. You can see the before/after shots here -- imgbox.com/g/8i67Thdfjy -- I've added in 10 minutes of NFL Game-Of-The-Week footage to compensate for the missing first 57 minutes of the game. My thanks to romelovesdan for providing the DVD file for this project.
Back then, the post-game shows were done from the game site. There was not the technology we would see just a view years later to get video highlights of games outside the game site to them.
Great beefing up the existing television broadcast telecast with the supplemented Week 13 "NFL Game of the Week" program (* not the "This Is The NFL" highlight Footage I first suspected). Again, unless there is a miracle re-appearance of more preserved broadcast footage, this is the Best Version of this game out there! Hands down.
Thanks Dan for providing the files :) FYI - NFL Films actually did a partial game-of-the-week for this game (Chiefs/Raiders was the other half of the GOTW episode that week). That's where I grabbed the footage.
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Thanks for correcting that.....was not a version I had of the GOW.... until recently. That was why this was so long...fixing my comment now....
This is as close as you'll get to the CBS late post game show that aired in the 1960s after the 2nd game. I don't think there is any footage of those anywhere not that Ive seen. This was good to see again.
I wonder if Bobby Duhon #28 was thrown out of the game. After Cardinals player John Gilliam #44 took a cheap shot on Giants #20 Scott Eaton, Duhon, on the sidelines, in his Giants overcoat, quickly shed the coat, ran to the field, chased Gilliam, grabbed him by the horse collar and threw him down to the ground. The benches cleared.
The Chiefs and Raiders historically had a lot of hostility, but the Giants and Jets were fighting for the hearts of NY, and the Jets had badly beaten the Giants in the 69 preseason. Going to Shea for their first regular season meeting, the hostilities were high.
This was a little before my time, the Cardinals collapsed from 8-2-1 to lose out and miss the playoffs. (The same exact thing happened in 1966.) They were a mediocre team playing a weak schedule, as they beat up on the awful teams (Eagles*2, Saints, Oilers, Patriots), split with 6-8 Washington and oddly swept SB runner-up Dallas. And lost to equal or better teams (Redskins, Giants*2, Rams, Lions) and tied KC.
Being a Cardinals fan for these past 49 years, this was typical of this team. They sweep the Cowboys, who ended up going to the Super Bowl, and had a 3 game stretch where they had 3 blowout shutouts in a row outscoring their opponents 113-0(including a 38-0 pasting of the Cowboys on MNF) but they tied the Chiefs, lost to the Redskins, and got swept by the Giants in 2 blowouts.
Wow two Cardinal HoFers. Didn't know Wehrli and Larry Wilson played together. Fascinating to see the post game broadcasting from St Louis, not New York. Giants were overwhelmed by a good Rams team, while the Lions destroyed the Packers and Dallas destroyed the Oilers, pushing the Giants out of the playoffs the last week.
Since we're heading into Dec. Do you have any bad weather (snow) games to post? Complete games with original commercials. How about the 73 Bill's vs Jets game when O.J. hit the 2000 yd season mark. I remember that was in a massive snow storm.
Well I literally just posted the snow-laden 77 Vikings at Packers game yesterday :) -- ruclips.net/video/_yN6LiiU50c/видео.html -- I might have some others. That 73 game - I think a very bad partial black/white copy exists of the end of the game, but I don't have that one
This Cardinals easily beat the Cowboys - the eventual NFC champ - twice during the 1970 regular season. In fact, some Cowboy players said the Cardinals were among the most talented teams they faced all season. The problem was the Cardinals couldn't beat any other playoff contender with a winning record, losing to the Lions, Rams and Giants (twice).
Notable here was Bill Mazer, who would later become a legendary sports anchor on WNEW/(since 1986) WNYW-TV (Channel 5) in New York.
I watched him on Sunday Nights
I for one love the post game "Pro Football Report" segment. When football was real football....
I recall as a youngster waiting for this post game show with the scores and interviews. Reminiscent of the Prudential College Scoreboard!!
Beautiful restoration and outstanding color
Prudential Scoreboard with BILL FLEMING. My favorite moment of the entire week.

I'm watching... classic again....thanks Dave.🎉
#38 Bob Tucker = Soooooo underrated. Thanks Dave!
This is astonishing video quality for 53 years ago.
The video enhancement I did on this one is what you're really appreciating :)
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 a pleasure to watch.
Man I don't know what it is, but back then those white shoes on the Giants just looked so clean... Especially Tarkenton's Pumas 😅
Back when St Louis Cardinals were in the NFC East.

Great stuff! Love these old classics.
Man - CBS's post-game NFL coverage in 1970 wasn't exactly NFL RedZone, was it! 😂😂

The world needs more laterals after catches

Actually this exists from 2 seasons earlier -- ruclips.net/video/qVz2Ps-CGA0/видео.htmlsi=UD4Fx4fR4bjuDva5&t=3874
The 1970 Lions at Cowboys playoff game had a little bit of the postgame show as well.
Love that fight near the end of the game!

Falcons 27 - Steelers 16. Chuck Noll's dynasty dreams crushed forever. Thanks, Dave!! 😉
Crushing seemed a bit overblown here, but it pretty much ended Steeler hopes for 1970 - still quite an improvement from 1969 and 1-13.
The Giants also had a bench-clearer with the Jets that season, on the same day the Chiefs and Raiders had theirs.

I think the officials made a wise choice to end the game with 12 seconds left, considering the fact that hostilities were about to explode again.

Jim Hart was a durable, steady .500 W/L QB.

At the 3:00 minutes mark that sure looks like a forward Lateral I wonder if anything was said about at the time
Tucker laterals the ball just a smidge past the 20 and Herman grabs it literally at about the same spot. Looks just fine to me.
Oh, you Cardinals...
This Cardinals easily beat the Cowboys - the eventual NFC champ - twice during the 1970 regular season. In fact, some Cowboy players said the Cardinals were among the most talented teams they faced all season. The problem was the Cardinals couldn't beat any other playoff contender with a winning record, losing to the Lions, Rams and Giants (twice).
At least the Cardinals had four losses to winning teams. The Giants lost to the Bears, Saints and Eagles.
Compare Fran to today's running QBs who can't pass
Not just based on last night- but Russell Wilson at his best reminded me most of Tarkenton
