Sports historians will long argue the significance of the third championship football game, but most agree it put the word super in Super Bowl, as NFL Films poignantly shows in this 75-minute video. The best thing about this video is that you get to see every play at least once, and the key plays several times. You also get valuable insight from N.Y. Jets quarterback Joe Willie Namath, Jets coach Weeb Ewbank, Colts coach Don Shula, and other players. The key figure, just as he was in the game, is Namath, the flamboyant quarterback whose style stood out during an era when flamboyance and wild styles were the norm. He launched the Super Bowl as a sports spectacular by stating, "We're gonna win this game. I guarantee it." NFL Films, with announcer Curt Gowdy, who did the play-by-play for NBC on January 12, 1969, goes into great depth to explain the historical importance of the outcome. It certified the old AFL, represented by the Jets, as a sports entity and legitimized the merger of the NFL and AFL into one league in 1970. Add to this Namath's statement and the turbulent times in America in 1969, and this game takes on significant historical meaning. This is an entertaining video about a sports moment that launched the NFL on its spiraling orbit upward. --Gordie Sholtys

Having grown up with the AFL in the late 60's, hearing Curt Gowdy's call of this game is a great way to relive those fall Sunday afternoons. My only complaint is NFL Films' production of the video could have been better. Since Curt Gowdy's calls were recreated, the calls sometimes give away what happens next. Also, when Gowdy is talking about Unitas as "one of the greats" they show a close-up of Earl Morral. Finally, the fake crowd noise was distracting. Minor points, but enough to stop me from ...

Super Bowl III remains, for many New Yorkers, the pinnacle of sports events. I can well remember seeing the game at the Black Orchid Bar, on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, MA. The patrons, it seemed, were Holy Cross students or Mafiosi. This tape will take the viewer back to that wondrous 1969 Sunday afternoon in Miami when the underdog New York Jets upset the highly favored Baltimore Colts. If there was ever an "establishment" in sports, it was represented by the hideously "big business" NFL Commissioner, ... Read More

Super Bowl III. The BaLtimore colts versus the NY Jets. The NFL vs. the AFL. Broadway Joe vs. Johnny U.{though an aging Unitas was injured}.White shoesVs. High tops. The 17-21 point favorite colts, having waxed the cleveland browns in the NFL champoinship game, were lookingfoward to squashing the Jets. This tape brings that game and time together very well. Namath,being young arrogant{and probably having a few in him at the time} guaranteed victory before hand. He almost got into a fist fight with Lou michales, ... Read More

85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be
named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.

lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
