Way back to 1960

1960 Packers vs Eagles NFL Championship Game (Radio Broadcast):

[IronEagle]

Thanks for that. Before I was born. Makes me realize how long it has been.

Also makes me realize it is possible. Just like being nuked since the cold war started is possible.

First play for the Iggles was an intercepted pass. Typical.

[headknocker]

I was only nine months old at the time so you can imagine my frustration....alive but too damn young to remember anything about it.

[BirdsInNC]

Nine months old? I was still twenty four years off. Still waiting for that glorious day. If I have to walk from NC to Philly for the parade, fuck it. I'll be there.

Trying to make me feel older thn I already feel

1960 Packers vs Eagles NFL Championship Game (Radio Broadcast):

For those new to the bored, I attended that game as a wide eyed 13 year old Igglephan.


To this day, the sight of Bednarick lying on top of Jim Taylor as the clock ticked down to zero is indelibly etched in my mind.


It was such a great day; who knew I'd still be counting to see another?

[Loki]

I remember 1960

My first wife kicked heroin the same day I tried my first frozen pizza, which also led me to sending Mick Jagger the lyrics to Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown.

[BirdBrawn]

I was a rugrat then too. Sucks that I don't remember it.

[Riccardo]

I was a rugrat then too. Sucks that I don't remember it.

[Raptor]

And now you are on the verge

...of getting your geezer membership and yelling at passing traffic while sitting in the front yard.

[Riccardo]

shut up

[1960]

How come

When I listened to it the Packers won? Life as an Eagles fan I guess.

[TRENT]

That is a platinum memory U lucky Bastard

my Pop was at the game, and my Best friends dad also was there..My father was attending the Philadelphia conservatory of Music in the late 50's early 60's..Much like the SB In 80 Bet you thought well be back here again soon.

[headknocker]

My uncle(RIP) was a season ticket holder for quite awhile in those days and he was at that game. The weird thing, he was always busting my chops about the Birds when I was growing up as if he was no longer a fan. I didn't know he had been a season ticket holder in his younger days until many years later.

I can't even imagine what this city will be like when they finally bring home the Lombardi...probably make the Flyers and '08 Phillies parades look small in comparison.
