I have, and I started a thread about it over in the NFL forum. I was in the 6th grade in January of 1967 when SB I was played (it was called the AFL-NFL Championship game back then), so I have a very clear recollection of it and those that followed.I'm curious if anyone has watched every Super Bowl. I watched the first 11, then went away to college and missed a few. As an adult, I've missed a handful. Has anyone seen every game?
Cool. I think I've missed around 8 to 10 games.Pretty sure I have.
Cool. I'm not sure what grade I was in (I was 9 at the time). I remember watching it with my dad and grandpa.I have, and I started a thread about it over in the NFL forum.

Maybe you can answer a question I've had for years. During the 1960s the Bears had several HOF players (Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers, Mike Ditka, Doug Atkins, Bill George, and Stan Jones). They also had several good players (Doug Buffone, Joe Fortunato, Ed O'Bradovich, etc.). With all these players, why did the Bears suck for most of the 60s? I'm not taking a shot at the Bears, I'm honestly curious.I am age 77. I have seen everything since I first became a Bears fan during their 1963 championship season.

Yeah. The '60s Packers made it a tough decade for all NFL teams.The Bears went for decades without a decent QB.
Also, remember that the late 60’s was the Lombardi Packers dynasty. Aaron Rodgers was not the first Packer to “own” the Bears!
We must be around he same age. That was my first one too and have seen them all since.The first Superbowl i watched was XIII (1978?) Pittsburgh vs. Dallas.
I believe I've watched every one since....perhaps I missed one but can't remember.
Heh. I remember thinking that Joe Willie had a big mouth and the Colts would stomp the Jets. I and most of the country got that Super Bowl wrong. The same thing happened the next year when I thought the Vikings would win and the Chiefs stomped them.I *think* I've seen every one. I was a very precocious sports fan. I learned how to read well from the sports page and Sports Illustrated, and learned math from sports stats more than anything else. I was very young for the first two SB's, and those games, especially the first, weren't that big of a deal at the time. It was the third SB where it really began to catch on with the public, and for me as well. A lot of that was because of the Jets and Joe Namath. I was a big Namath fan as a young boy, had his poster on my wall.
I may have missed one or two somewhere along the line, but if I did, I can't remember what game(s) it might have been. There were definitely games that don't at all stand out, to me, where I can barely remember anything about them, like the 49ers vs. Chargers game.
I didn't know enough to know that the Jets had no chance in that game. LOL. I just remember that picture of Namath calm and cool poolside on a lounger just a few days before the game, and then, of course, the tunnel picture running off the field. I liked Namath a lot because he threw "the bomb" a lot, probably why he didn't have a high completion percentage.Heh.

Dan Fouts was my favorite. And he had some great receivers, too.I didn't know enough to know that the Jets had no chance in that game. LOL.

I grew up a Bears fan, but I was a big fan of the old AFL, watching games on NBC with Curt Gowdy and Al Derogatis. There were teams I just liked (Jets, Raiders, Chiefs, Chargers, Dolphins), and they were on all the time because of the scarcity of teams, or interesting ones. I also thought the old AFL played a more innovative/different style of football.
Anyway...old memory lane...
I didn't much care for the Jets and was rooting for the Colts in SB III. I was pretty conservative back then, didn't like Namath's white shoes and long hair. But he was the first quarterback that had a quick, throw like a catcher release. Threw a lot of INT's, though. One time, after throwing 4 INTS in a game and on the bus home, one of the defensive linemen hollered out "Hey, Namath! Next week, we're wearing green."I didn't know enough to know that the Jets had no chance in that game. LOL.
