During the 70's and 80's, NBC had probably the best line up of announcers ever, with Curt Gowdy, Don Criqui, Dick Enberg and Charlie Jones. But without a doubt, of that amazing group, Charlie Jones was by far my favourite.
The 1968 New York Jets were the greatest football team in their New York history and playing their home games at Shea Stadium was a super heavyweight golden football treasure!
yeah right absolutely supported the AFL, Jets & Joe particularly ... those 68 Jets made me a small fortune that year on a Super Bowl bet ... Blessings to Weeb, Joe & Team ... fought their way into football lore !!!
At 49:26 you can see Oakland QB Daryle Lamonica talking to then Raider coach John Rauch and just up the sideline you can see John Madden who was a defensive assistant at that time. In 1969 Rauch would leave to coach Buffalo and Raider owner Al Davis would promote Madden to HC
Those Jets dealt with a jinx when playing the Bills at that time. They beat em but only by a small margin. The Chiefs and the Raiders made their ride even more rough and tumble. Victory came in spite of their rump busting jouney.😅😅
Playing the Patriots in Birmingham Alabama. Pats had trouble getting a consistent home field--Fenway Park, the old Nickerson Stadium, maybe one or two others. They might've been auditioning cities for a possible move. Before the stadium in Foxboro was built, I believe Seattle had an interest in attracting them (pre-Seahawks).
That game was all joe namath's fault. He had one job: to not turn it over. He threw 5 picks, 3 of them being returned for touchdowns, in a game where the bills had only 197 yards on offense, and 1 offensive touchdown all game. The defense did well, and so did the offense, and namath cost them the game. That summed up his career right there
That goes to show that any team can beat any team, regardless of Wins and Losses. I remember when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had yet to win a game and they played the New Orleans Saints and the Buccaneers kicked their butts. Anything can and does happen.
@EdsterIII the saints weren't good in 1977. They weren't dallas, or oakland. They were terrible. They acted like they couldn't lose to them, and thet got the snot beaten outta them. A big upset, but at the same time, you gotta win sometime, and it was against tank stram's aints
Awesome! Emerson Boozer ( Back then they Didn't Discriminate against a "Boozer" 🤫😅) and Joe Namath. Matt Snell, George Sauer, Don Maynard !!! 55:35 Maynard
I watched it all the way through the MAYNARD play in question. He caught the pass, had clear possession, and then made a football-related move, or body movement germane to the game of football, in that case a step motion with his leg right before the ball came loose from his grasp. That was a catch. If it is/was NOT, then you can deduct 20 percent off the numbers of every NFL/AFL pass receiver in history. Its indisputably a catch. And, I am not a JETS fan by any stretch of the word.. SORRY.. It was/is with anyone else... a catch. If you don't think so.. PROVE IT..
(Cont.)Oh, MAYNARD had two feet in, too, although, back then if the receiver had no or one foot inbounds, and contact by the defender caused the catcher to not be able to land inbounds when he would've with no contact, the judgment of the official as per the rulebook could rule the receiver inbounds, via a forceout. That rule was changed in the early 2000's. Today, receivers have to land the "third foot" on a step while in full control of the ball if two feet are in only as the receiver is still trying in the act of obtaining control of the ball, otherwise only two feet and a football related move, such as moving a leg to take a step whether that is landed as a "third foot" or not=are only required today if control was fully achieved before the second foot goes down= a catch. Except on or after their offensive goalline back then, receivers had to just as it is today, maintain control to the ground if they are falling while in the process of making the catch. Today that even includes over or past their offensive goalline. Whereas back then, if a catch was made with a controlled ball on, over or past their off. goalline, the receiver did not have to maintain control all the way to the ground as he fell= SEE BUTCH JOHNSON OF DAL. VS. DEN and his TD CATCH IN SUPER BOWL XII IN '78 in N. ORLEANS. That again..is no longer the rule. The offensive goal area/endzone is not given different treatment from the rest of the field. YEP..

jim simpson was good too
Charlie Jones was underrated. He was NBCs third play by play man behind Curt Gowdy and Jim Simpson
Charlie Jones was always one of my favorites.
absolutely beyond compare !!!
Charlie was the voice of the AFL!
I agree. Charlie was great.
Al DeRogatis too
The first game I remember seeing was SB III, Jets-Colts. I was 6 years old, watching from our house in suburban Chicago.
This was Buffalo’s lone victory in ‘68, which allowed them to Draft OJ Simpson with the 1st overall pic in ‘69.
I wonder whether that has ever happened before or since - a team whose only win of a season came against the eventual league champion, I mean.

To this day they are still the only team to win a Super Bowl while playing their home games in NY.
No one threw a pass like Joe. What an arm! Those strikes over the middle were a thing of beauty!
Firing darts while he was still in his back pedal. Amazing!
0:32 The arm strength he displays on this pass is something to behold....
The music together with the slow motion movement and monologue, contribute to an entertaining video.

Again another epic 60's and 70's team video yearbook. These are amazing! I'd love to see one done for every team and every year.
Baltimore Colts fan,U know the rest.Just want'ed to mention George Sauer reminds me of Raymond Berry,and U know helluva compliment.
Sauer JR. was drafted by his dad..
Broadway Joe had an arm like a cannon. So much fun to watch him play.
he called a brilliant game in SB3. Didn't throw a pass in the 4th quarter
The ultimate "BABE HOUND"
Best Game ever, yes ever - AFC Championship 1968 - Jets 27 - Raiders 23 ... Super Bowl III was nearly anti-climatic
*AFL Championship Game. Please show some respect for the league.
@@wvu05 Yeah, he says it was better than the Super Bowl but doesn't know it was the AFL.
Kansas City's TE Fred Arbanas (0:48) lost an eye after a mugging/assault and yet went on to be a very good TE.
I used to like this week in football way back then. Charile Jones was great commentator
Curt Gowdy was my favorite but Charlie Jones was great too.
This is great the 1968 championship New York jet season. First year I watched football
The 1968 New York Jets changed football, history and culture with Broadway Joe.
40 years a SAD. FAN. GO JETS
A Great fan NY (football) Jets Forever Joe Forever…🏈🏆 Miami Jan 1969

Jets, Raiders and Chiefs were all excellent teams that year

Somebody tried to get an AFL team for Seattle in 1960,but the University of Washington wouldn't share their stadium.
I say Joe Namath WON the Super Bowl in MIAMI
Chiefs had the old style Fair Play Scoreboard at Municipal Stadium.
1968 was also the Best year for the American automakers especially Ford and Lincoln Mercury !!!
They got a drink (i.e., shot) of Emerson Boozer, which made the difference.
I'm not a jets fan but I was a Namath fan I wish they would bring back the old jersey and helmets back
The Jets should have never left Long Island
*Queens
Shea stadium isn't there my friend
@@kapo2012fb you do realize Queens and Brooklyn are on the Island of Long Island lol
@@edsalmon6319 no shit bob
@@kapo2012fb so the op was technically right…
Really wished CBS would have hired Charlie Jones when they got the AFC package from NBC in 98. RIP.
Charlie went to ABC/ESPN and did college games for several years.
@@classicsports5057 I remember that. Loved him there, but to me, Charlie was the AFL/AFC.
I have to think the players absolutely hated playing on that dirt.
A healthy Broadway Joe was fabulous.
NOTHING SPECIAL!!
This team lost to the 1-12-1 bills
AND?
Still went 11-3 to run away from the AFL East and won their playoff games. I guess you've never heard of a trap game.
That game was all joe namath's fault. He had one job: to not turn it over.

55:35 Maynard
&&& All the Jets ... let us not forget the brilliant Weeb Ewbank !!!
@@brucewayne3602 Yes Great point 👍
how could namath lose this game/
Giants
Under today’s rules it’s a good chance Maynard’s clutch catch would have been ruled incomplete
banazak wasn't in either at 23-20

Best era of football, but way too many commercials. Have to thumbs down this video.
