I was at the '56 Championship Game where the Giants Beat the Bears 47-7

As a Bears fan, I much preferred the 1963 rematch. Sorry about that blood on your head, Mr. Tittle.

the 1963 rematch

I didn't have tickets and that game was blacked out in NY. During the regular season the blacked out home games were carried by CBS, and their nearest affiliate was in Hartford. I grew up about 20 miles east of NYC where we couldn't get the Hartford signal. But bars about 30 miles further east could so we (my father and I) would go out there to watch if we didn't go to the game.

For some reason NBC had the Championship Game and their nearest affiliates were in Providence and Philadelphia. So we got in the car Sunday morning and drove down to Camden, NJ (close enough to Philly). The funny thing was that the NJ Turnpike had very heavy traffic that day. All the cars seemed to have three or four guys in them.

And BTW, I met YA traveling in France back in the 70s. Very nice guy.
