It is amazing to believe that Super Bowl one, which was covered by both NBC and CBS was not preserved by anyone. There is some NFL Films footage, but aside from that, neither network had saved a recording of the first Super Bowl (Otherwise known as the NFL AFL Championship Game) And back then, hard to believe I know, but in addition to not being able to pick up but three stations ...one of which you had to hold the rabbit ears just right to minimize the snow on the screen, NOBODY had a Video Recording Device.
So, now the Wall Street Journal says that someone had recorded the game and stored it in the attic. It needed to be restored, and now, perhaps, we might all get to actually see the game that started it all.
Here is the link for a great read.

Jay Leno was no math for 10pm
Jay's walking off prime time. Confirming days of rumors, the chairman of NBC announced that starting Feb. 12, The Jay Leno Show will no longer air at 10 p.m. but that the network hoped to keep Leno for an 11:35 p.m. show, Conan O'Brien for 12:05 p.m. and then Jimmy Fallon after that. "It's not a done deal yet." The Jay Leno Show "did not meet affiliate needs" but that through it all, Leno and O'Brien have been "incredibly gracious and professional. I just can't believe that NBC was not ready to give Jay more time ..but now Letterman can quit the public feeling sorry for himself. lets just be glad that the whole debacle gave us Jimmy Fallon.
