What were the TECHNICAL names for the Packers-Chiefs;
Packers-Raiders games called. And don't say super bowl.
I'm not wrong. Ok,Ok. Ok. If you have to, check the web, It's there. Or you could call the Howard Cosell type guy that used to announce on mon. night. He knows it all.

Answer 1

The technical name was the "AFL-NFL World Championship Game". The first game was held in sunny California, where it was expected to sell out quickly. It didn't even sell out at all. It was supposedly the Chiefs owner, Lamar Hunt who used the phrase "Super Bowl" to describe the game. Apparently, he got the name from a toy called a Super Ball. I can't remember what the game was supposed to be dubbed, but it was something pretty lame. The "Bowl" part comes from the fact that post-season games in college football bear the same name.

An extra bit of trivia: Vince Lombardi retired after the second championship game, and he had intended not to go back to coaching. According to his family, he watched the third champion, between the AFL Jets and the NFL Colts. When the Colts lost, Lombardi actually yelled at the t.v., "How could they lose MY game!" He despised what Joe Namath stood for, and he fully believed the NFL was in all ways superior to the AFL. The next year, he was back in coaching, this time with the Redskins. He only lasted one season before succumbing to cancer, which had originally started in his intestines but had spread rapidly.

Answer 2

Seattlefan74 is Totally correct! I'm reading "Americas Game" by Micheal MacCambridge and he has a Whole 4 or 5 chapters on the AFL and The MERGER! and if it wasn't for Sonny Werblin Buying the Jets from Harry Wismer they would have never won SBIII !!!

Answer 3

Well that was PRIOR to the merger, see I got that technicality of you saying AFTER the merger. I thought it was the NFL-AFL World Championship Game but really not sure what they called the first two.
