Why would they play the 1958 championship on a show about the ice bowl?

Take into account the conditions and what it meant to the Packers the final drive is the greatest test of courage and will to win in NFL history. I don't care what the 1958 title game claims, the Ice Bowl was the greatest game ever played. Maybe you should watch and learn some history.
I'd like to see a Timeline on this year's NFCCG.

The Pro Football Hall Of Fame claims the ‘58 championship is the greatest game ever played. Only delusional packer fans like you would claim different.
Side Show Jaymo.
Sh!t-show Jaymo would be appropriate, too....

Why would the rest of the NFL give a rat's ass about what it meant to the Packers?
This thinking is why we make fun of you.
"Courage and will", GTFO.
San Diego vs Miami, Division Championship game, 1982.
Starr surprised everyone and dove over for the score. "We had run out of ideas," Starr said of the play. However, Lombardi put it another way, "We gambled and we won."
They guessed. "Courage and will" though!
Pretty sure the stories passed down from generations of Packer fans about the game had Starr Mike Vick-ing it up for 62 yards while holding his disemboweled intestines in his free arm.

Because no other team had ever won 3 Championships in a row. That is why the NFL cared.
And yes courage and will to win. When your total offensive output in the 2nd half was -9 yards, no one thought they could move the ball enough to even get a field goal let alone a TD.
It's not surprising that a couple of nut jobs from a team that has NEVER won an NFL Championship would make fun of the greatest game ever played.
"This thinking is why we make fun of you." Hells bells, boy! The jokes been on you since 1961!
Let me guess. You also refer to Starr’s TD as “The Drive”?
Of course you do.
😂
and the sh*t bros have to take some more dumps in a thread having nothing to do with their pathetic team... well, I guess success does continue to point out the totality of their team's continued failure. keep on sucking it, queenies, it's your role.
How much did SI have to pay the packers to use “Miracle On Ice”?
When Starr took out that bunker at 1400 hours with a shovel pass, that was the beginning of the end for the Nazi regime.

How much did NBC pay the vikings for TM infringement?
Ban them, Boss. I'm usually an open environment guy but they are polluting every freaking thread especially the ones that mean a lot to so many of us.

BBBWWWWAAAHHHAAAHHHHAA!!!!!!!
People like Eye and Paper Sack make fun of what they don't know.
When you follow a team that has little, if any, history and tradition, they can't understand what games like the Ice Bowl really mean.
Who’s making fun of the ice bowl? I’m making fun of you dopes with your self-proclamations.
It’s “the greatest game EVER played” in packer fan’s minds and no where else.

Oh, for Christ’s sake. This thread is a day old, but it “means so much to you”. Sorry that I had to drop a truth bomb on you about your beloved ice bowl.
You don't know the truth if it bit you in the ass.
My second greatest game is 41-0!!
41-0 is maybe the 14th greatest game.

Ok. Show me one instance of the ice bowl being even remotely referred to as “the greatest game ever played” by anybody other than a packer fan. I’ll wait.

Then there is the 1958 NFL Championship game in which the Baltimore Colts defeated the New York Giants, 23-17 in sudden death overtime. It was humbly labeled, "The Greatest Game Ever Played."
For simple majesty, however, it can't touch "Ice Bowl. https://sportsday.dallasnews.c...nates-50-years-later
Are you ready to give up now dumbass?
Even remotely....

It's a debate able point but definitely has to be included in the list.
I liked Brown Paper Sack's thought of Miami / San Diego playoff game. That's also in the list.
I agree with The list in this article.
As far as I know, the '58 Championship game was called "the greatest ever" simply because it was the first OT game played. Not that it was necessarily a great game, it just had some extraordinary circumstances.
So, a Packers fan on a Packers fan site posts about arguably 1 of the greatest games ever played, and a couple Viks dotards chime in about the '58 Championship. Marketing labels, i.e. America's Team, are just that. As for the better game, the Ice Bowl was the better played game.
In the '58 game BAL dominated in 1st downs, total yards, passing & rushing yards, yet needed OT to win. It was a sloppy game with 8 fumbles, 6 lost - total.
'67 game had the original "The Drive" and only 3 yards separated the offenses.
The ‘58 game was televised nationally. Which essentially makes it credited as the greatest game ever played as it launched the future popularity of the NFL.
The Ice Bowl is considered the greatest game ever played based of the fact it was a Championship Game played by two teams just dripping Hall of Fame Talent on both sides.
But ****. If the ‘58 game was the greatest game ever played and convinced some ****wit collection of assplugs in Minneapolis that they should assemble and launch a 57 year run of monumental fail the likes no one has ever witnessed because the NFL was a money making windfall then I’m good with ‘58. The vikings have made a **** load of money off you a-holes and paid you back with failure you hate to pass on to your kids but you will because that’s what your dad did to you.
Yeah, the ice bowl was a veritable masterpiece as far as football is concerned, with its 387 total yards and 4 turnovers.
Indoor football wasn’t a thing in 1967 dumbass.
Keep in mind Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi were assistants for the Giants in 1958. They always knew they’d have to face the other. Talk about two coaches that wanted to prove they were Alpha.
Just admit it dumbass, you were proven wrong.
One thing I find interesting is a couple of fans of a team that plays indoors discussing brutal weather conditions!! Of course when you're team is getting a mudhole stomped in it's a__ by a second string QB that hasn't ran for 10 yards all season- weather doesn't seem much of a challenge at all. Its 2nd string QB's!!
You guys talk like the Ice Bowl was akin to Washington crossing the ****ing Delaware or some ****, and based on the butthurt responses in here, you actually believe it.
Oh, Hallowed Ice Bowl Of Greatness! Lettuce pray and offer our offspring at your shrine of Hallowedness!

Didn't the players take smoke breaks back then too?
