When I first read this I thought, dude, stop asking for $1 million dollars and being greedy. Then I read a comment that brought up the NFL spent more than $5 million dollars on the Patriots deflating footballs and the Commissioner is bringing in over $40 million a year. I dramatically changed my tune to just pay the damn man and you'll recover vast amounts of money for commercial advertisements.


No full recording of the original broadcast of Super Bowl I exists because in the 1960s networks rarely saved their tapes. But one man owns what is believed to be the closest thing to a full recording, tapes his late father made of most of the game, minus commercials, some plays that came right after commercial breaks, halftime and some of the third quarter.

That man, Troy Haupt, asked the NFL for $1 million for his dad’s old tapes. The NFL replied that it would give him $30,000. When Haupt spurned that offer, the NFL stopped talking to Haupt entirely, other than to warn him that if he sells the tapes to a third party, he’ll be violating the league’s copyright and the NFL will go after him.

He owns the tapes themselves, as a manuscript or historical object, but not the broadcasting or copyright.

Dude needs to offer them to the Players Union. 🤣

All one needs to do is take a look at the lives of veteran players that have been physically and mentally handicapped for the rest of their lives for playing a kids game. And now these guys actually have to sew the owners to be taken care of.

Yes, pay that man for those tapes, and they'll recoup their costs in a day.
