Are you ready for some football, Slackers?!
Given that professional football has been a thing since the late 1800s, it crazy to think that the “Big Game” has only been around in OUR LIFETIME. Starting with the NFL/AFL merger in 1967, there was finally a true world championship - but even then it wasn’t until the third season that the term (don’t sue me) "Super Bowl" was used.
I don’t know why this seems so odd to me, but watching footage of Namath, Bradshaw, and Staubach doesn’t seem like it could possibly be from our childhoods - just another example of age catching up with me!
So, that’s the episode - this history of the modern era of the NFL and how it lines up almost exactly with Gen X - plus some of the key matchups over the years, particularly those late 80’s/90’s games.
There’s also a little Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots talk for good measure. I have my reasons,,,
