Chronicles St
Vol. 70 No. 25 CHRONICLESST. JOSEPH HIGH SCHOOL 1970 January 11-18, 1970 By Tom Bodle Northeast Ohio was greeted in mid-January with a stretch of frosty weather. Arctic cold temperatures in the low twenties for highs and single digits for the lows were present at the start of a new week. The depths of cold brought only a small dusting of snow, to the delight of those who drive but to the dismay of those looking for a snow day. Professional sports dominated the national scene this week. Bookend football games encompassed the week. January 11th was Super Bowl Sunday. The game would be the final contest involving what was known as the American Football League and the National Football League. The Fall of 1970 would see the creation of the new National Football League, with the former leagues being renamed as conferences. Teams would be realigned into two conferences with three divisions. The Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Colts agreed to affiliate with the American Conference in order to balance the number of teams in each. Super Bowl IV was the last opportunity for “bragging rights” be- tween the two former leagues. The NFL was considered by many to be the stronger of the two, celebrating its 50th year. The AFL was the upstart,“new kid” at only 10 years old. The New York Jets surprise upset of Baltimore in the 1969 Super Bowl was seen as a fluke. The Minnesota Vikings entered Super Bowl IV carrying the honor of the old guard NFL. The Vikings were the “toast of the NFL.” The Bud Grant team was 12-2 and came off a resound- ing victory over the Cleveland Browns in the NFL championship.

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.

Kapp-Ing a Memorable Campaign
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol 19, No. 1 (1997) Kapp-ing A Memorable Campaign `Injun' Joe Kapp spirited the '69 Vikings to an NFL championship By Ed Gruver He was called "Injun" Joe, despite the fact his heritage was a mix of Mexican and German blood, and he quarterbacked an NFL championship team, despite owning a passing arm that produced more wounded ducks than his hunter-head coach, Bud Grant, who spent pre-dawn hours squatting with a rifle in a Minneapolis duck blind. But in 1969, a season that remains memorable in the minds of Minnesota football fans, "Injun" Joe Kapp blazed a trail through the National Football League and bonded the Vikings into a formidable league champion, a family of men whose slogan, "Forty for Sixty," was testament to their togetherness. "I liked Joe," Grant said once. "Everybody liked Joe, he's a likeable guy. In this business, you play the people who get the job done, and Joe did that." John Beasley, who played tight end on the Vikings' '69 team, called Kapp "a piece of work...big and loud and fearless." Even the Viking defense rallied behind Kapp, an occurrence not so common on NFL teams, where offensive and defensive players are sometimes at odds with another. Witness the New York Giants teams of the late 1950s and early 1960s, where middle linebacker Sam Huff would tell halfback Frank Gifford, "Hold 'em Frank, and we'll score for you." No such situation occurred on the '69 Vikings, a fact made clear by Minnesota safety Dale Hackbart. "Playing with Kapp was like playing in the sandlot," Hackbart said.
