Before the merger tournament

[Capanther]

Hope to play the Packers and Lions tonight....I figure anyone reading about my tournament likes looking at the old teams and may even have some in a box somewhere....if you by chance have old white hog chargers like the picture I'll add...then let's talk 👍

Big lions 10 big Packers 7

This was the last game of the 1st round....it had an exciting finish ..the Packers were driving late in the game ...one more first down would have set them up for an easy fg...but the lions held and the fg was short so the lions were 80 yds away with only 2 plays to go.... Greg Landry for the lions scrambled for 53 yds and the lions kicked the game winning fg and move on to meet the falcons in the 2nd round....great former lions represented  include : 11 landry...24 mel farr....36 Steve Owens...88 Charlie sanders....53 Mike lucci and 71 Alex karras .....great Packers from yesterday include : 22 elijah pitts....15 bart starr....84 Carroll Dale...89 Dave Robinson ...and 87 Willie davis....up next will be the hog white raiders and the hog dark chargers in the AFL bracket.

[Capanther]

Hog chargers 13 Hog raiders 0

This game was full of raider mistakes as the chargers intercepted 4 Daryl lamonica passes and the Chargers were led by 2 Paul lowe touchdowns.....the chargers will meet the chiefs to see who survives the AFL west.....great chargers today include : 23 lowe...86 earl faison ...77 Ernie ladd....19 lance alworth ..78 Walt sweeney...83 Willie Frazier and 21 John Hadle.....great raiders include : 3 lamonica...25 Fred biletnikoff ...41 Phil viliapiano...00 Jim Otto....70 Henry Lawrence...21 cliff branch..and 35 hewert dixon....up next will be an old NFL matchup between the Giants and the Cardinals .

Thanks.....I have most of the old original teams and rather than let them just sit in a box I like to number them to represent the players from the 60s and 70s and actually play the game....I still buy an old team from time to time and I'm still like a little kid waiting for it to arrive in the mail.....I admire the new inventions and the great painters and decalers of the modern era....but the old teams are what has always kept me interested and enjoying the hobby.....it's been something I have really enjoyed for over 50 years..and I appreciate the new Tudor people and this site ......thanks again.

AFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 

CHIEFS 30 JETS 27 overtime 

I decided to play the AFL CHAMPIONSHIP on the small Historic AFL field that Tudor made in 1968 and 69.....this and Super Bowl III were the only 2 fields that the old Tudor ever made with AFL IN THE ENDZONE.....I image young boys all over America woke up on Christmas morning to find one of these games under the tree.....the original game came with bigmen chiefs and sometimes a mixture of big w Jets and hog Jets.....I was able to get my big white Jets by buying several of these games...then replacing the bigmen with hogs and reselling .....the later versions came with strictly hogleg w Jets and hog d chiefs ....I read that because of Namath and the 68 Jets popularity so many of these games were sold that Tudor actually had to start putting in bigmen bills and dolphins because they had actually ran out of chiefs and jets.....I would guess that there were some unhappy kids when that happened.....ok enough history ...on to the game.....the game ran smooth and Matt Snell for the jets and Bobby Holmes for the chiefs had monster games...Snell had all 4 jets tds...and tank had 3 for the chiefs.....the score was 20 to 20 at halftime as neither RB could be stopped ...I said to myself that this game would probably boil down to a turnover and late in the game Namath threw an interception but 3 plays later Dawson did too....the jets missed a 40 yd field goal on the last play of regulation and the game went to overtime....on the 2nd play of overtime.. Holmes ripped a 50 yd run off tackle and set up an easy field goal and allow the chiefs to move on to the SUPER BOWL.....great former Jets tonight were : 41 snell...32 Emerson boozer....12 Joe Namath....52 John Schmidt.....66 Randy Rasmussen....67 Dave Herman....13 Don Maynard....and 87 Pete Lammons.....great chiefs from yesterday included : 45 Holmes....16 Len Dawson....89 Otis Taylor....55 EJ Holub.....78 Bobby Bell....51 Jim Lynch....and 63 Willie Lanier.....up next will be the Giants at the bears....I have a feeling a snow storm might hit and this one will be played on my modern Tudor snow cover field.

NFL CHAMPIONSHIP 

BEARS 17 GIANTS 3 

In the snow the Bears needed one good drive  and at least a field goal in the 4th qt to put the game away.....gale sayers carried them down the field on the long drive then scored his 2nd TD to give the bears the win and a trip to the super bowl to face the Chiefs.....great bears from the past include : 40 Sayers...51 Dick Butkus....45 Dick Gordon....87 Ed Obradovich....55 Doug Buffone....81 Doug Atkins....78 Stan Jones and 89 Mike Ditka.....the Giants were led by : 30 Ron Johnson....24 Tucker Fredrickson....40 Joe Morrison...38 Bob Tucker....71 Bob Lurtsema....and 89 Fred Dryer......I think for the Super Bowl I'll match the Bigmen Bears in white vs the Bigmen Chiefs in dark and play on my Super Bowl III board.

 

 

[Capanther]

Thanks to The New Tudor and their many innovations I could use the snow cover that I keep on one of their championship boards and always enjoy playing on from time to time.

Super Bowl preview 

The Chicago Bears vs the Kansas City Chiefs..Lamar Hunt vs George Halas..... Mr Hunt created the AFL and Mr Halas basically created the NFL.....I'll probably play this one Sunday Night......I've enjoyed this great game of electric football for around 53 years now.....original 1967 bigmen bears vs original 1967 bigmen Chiefs.
