NFL World Championship Game, the Super Bowl Has Grown to Become One of the Largest Sports Spectacles in the United States
/ The Golden Anniversary ofthe Super Bowl: A Legacy 50 Years in the Making An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Chelsea Police Thesis Advisor Mr. Neil Behrman Signed Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2016 Expected Date of Graduation May 2016 §pCoJI U ncler.9 rod /he. 51;;:, J_:D ;l.o/80J · Z'7 The Golden Anniversary ofthe Super Bowl: A Legacy 50 Years in the Making ~0/G , PG.5 Abstract Originally known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, the Super Bowl has grown to become one of the largest sports spectacles in the United States. Cities across the cotintry compete for the right to host this prestigious event. The reputation of such an occasion has caused an increase in demand and price for tickets, making attendance nearly impossible for the average fan. As a result, the National Football League has implemented free events for local residents and out-of-town visitors. This, along with broadcasting the game, creates an inclusive environment for all fans, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of professional sports. This paper explores the growth of the Super Bowl from a novelty game to one of the country' s most popular professional sporting events. Acknowledgements First, and foremost, I would like to thank my parents for their unending support. Thank you for allowing me to try new things and learn from my mistakes. Most importantly, thank you for believing that I have the ability to achieve anything I desire. Second, I would like to thank my brother for being an incredible role model. -

Canton, Ohio and the National Football League
PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn DALLAS COWBOYS Team History In 1960, the Dallas Cowboys became the NFL’s first successful new team since the collapse of the All- America Football Conference 10 years earlier. Clint Murchison Jr. was the new team’s majority owner and his first order of business was to hire Tex Schramm as general manager, Tom Landry as head coach and Gil Brandt as player personnel director. This trio was destined for almost unprecedented success in the pro football world but the “glory years” didn’t come easily. Playing in the storied Cotton Bowl, the 1960 Cowboys had to settle for one tie in 12 games and Dallas didn’t break even until its sixth season in 1965. But in 1966, the Cowboys began an NFL-record streak of 20 consecutive winning seasons. That streak included 18 years in the playoffs, 13 divisional championships, five trips to the Super Bowl and victories in Super Bowls VI and XII. Dallas won its first two divisional championships in 1966 and 1967 but lost to the Green Bay Packers in the NFL championship game each year. Similar playoff losses the next seasons were followed by a 16-13 last-second loss to Baltimore in Super Bowl V following the 1970 season. The Cowboys were typified as “a good team that couldn’t win the big games.” But they dispelled such thought for good the very next year with a 24-3 win over the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VI. The Cowboys were Super Bowl-bound three more times from 1975 to 1978. -
NORM SCHACHTER in SUPER BOWL V the Official Version
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 2 (2004) Super Bowl V is remembered as the “Blunder Bowl”. The Colts beat the Cowboys 16-13 with five seconds to play, in a game filled with turnovers, miscues and costly penalties. Some NFL legends at that game – Bubba Smith, Herb Adderley, Johnny Unitas – need no introduction. There was a third team on the field that day, with NFL greats like Schachter, Marion, Graf, Fette – guys with a combined 15 Super Bowl appearances. This is their story … NORM SCHACHTER IN SUPER BOWL V The Official Version By Mark L. Ford Norm Schachter had made it to his second Super Bowl. He and five other outstanding pros had gone to Miami because they were the best of the 1970 season. They were the officiating crew, and Schachter was the NFL’s best referee that year. The mistakes of Baltimore and Dallas that day were legendary, but the “third team” was nearly flawless. “You have to be perfect the first game, then get better in every game the following weeks,” Schachter wrote in his 1981 autobiography, Close Calls. While the Colts and Cowboys were beset by one mistake after another, the Zebras could not afford to be wrong even once, especially not in the Super Bowl. The NFL didn’t release the names of the officials until the week of the game. The crew was one of the best assembled for a championship: #56 NORM SCHACHTER, Referee #22 PAUL TREPINSKI, Umpire #26 ED MARION, Head Linesman #39 JACK FETTE, Line Judge #34 FRITZ GRAF, Field Judge #70 SONNY GAMBER, Back Judge Schachter and his five teammates assembled at midfield with the captains from Dallas and Baltimore. -
DALLAS COWBOYS Reading Comprehension
DALLAS COWBOYS Reading Comprehension The Dallas Cowboys were formed on January 28, 1960. Dallas would become the first city south of Washington DC to have a football team. According to legend, the formation of a team south of Washington DC was met with resistance from the owners of Washington’s NFL team (the Redskins). The Redskins finally agreed to allow Dallas to host an NFL team after Dallas officials bought the rights to the Redskins’ official team song, “Hail to the Redskins.” Cowboys officials refused to let the Redskins use the song until they agreed to allow for a team in Dallas, which they eventually did. Before the team was called the Cowboys, they were known as the Steers and then the Rangers. When the Cowboys’ first owner, Clint Murchison, Jr., finally settled on the “Cowboys,” he hired Tom Landry as the team’s first coach. Being a new team in the NFL was hard. The Cowboys failed to win an NFL game until the beginning of their second season, when they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers. It took six seasons before the Cowboys finally had a winning season. In 1966, however, the Cowboys would begin a streak of twenty consecutive winning seasons, which is still an NFL record today. In 1969, after the rival Dallas Texans of the AFL (a competing football league) left for Kansas City, the Cowboys began work on Texas Stadium in nearby Irving, Texas. It was completed in 1971 and could hold over 65,000 fans. That same year, the Dallas Cowboys made it to their first Super Bowl, Super Bowl V. -

PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TELECASTS AND THE BLACKOUT PRIVILEGE In 1961 Congress granted professional sport leagues two exemptions from the sanctions of the antitrust laws.' One exemption authorized agreements between professional sport leagues and television networks to pool and sell as a package the rights to televise league games. 2 Such an agreement may not restrict telecasts of games in any area, "except within the home territory of a member club of the league on a day when such club is playing a game at home."3 This "home territory" exception is the second antitrust exemption. It authorizes the restric- tion of game telecasts in the area surrounding the site of a game-the blackout. 4 Difficulties with the definition and administration of blackouts of professional football games have caused recent controversy." In addi- tion, the economic circumstances of professional football have changed dramatically since the exemptions were enacted.6-These developments I Act of Sept.
