    The NFL Films highlight tape is good watch, but I agree the full game would be special. Did many (any?) people have home VCRs back then?

    There were NO home VCRs in 68. The TV networks had some kind of copying equipment

    ^Reel to reel, I reckon, later pirated onto video. Can't say I've heard of the AFC Champ game being out there. If it is, hell, I'm game. Er...

    If there's a copy of Super Bowl III out there, then why couldn't there be an AFL Championship game from 1968 out there??? Someone MUST have this game SOMEWHERE...and I mean to track this person down like a rabid dog!...Anyone know where Steve Sabol lives?

    I know this may seem far fetched, but a buddy of mine has a friend that works for NFL Films. About five years ago, I got SB3 on video tapes from him. This was before they converted the libraries to DVD...Now they have converted the libraries to DVD. I will inquire if I can get a copy of this game in its entirety. Give me a couple of days to get an answer.....

    Cause a NFL team was in SB 3 whereas the championship game was a all AFL affair
