鈥?The Ice Bowl on Dec. 31 Jaguars Logan Cooke Jersey , 1967, became one of the games that defined the NFL, a contest between the Cowboys and Packers played on the tundra in Green Bay.The winner went to the second Super Bowl against the Oakland Raiders, but a bigger accomplishment may have been simply surviving the conditions that seemed unbearable.The temperature at game time was 15 below zero, with wind chill in todays calculations at minus-48.Fifty years later, players from the Packers and Cowboys still shiver from memories of the bitter cold of a game that would become known as the Ice Bowl.Here is the story published by The Associated Press after the game, presented as published Jan. 1, 1968, by The Greenville News of South Carolina.GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) 鈥?Conservative Vince Lombardi gambled and won Sunday with 13 seconds left by going for the winning touchdown on a Bart Starr keeper instead of a tying field goal for a 21-17 Green Bay victory over Dallas in blue 13-below-zero Eskimo weather.The whole world loves a gambler, but not when he loses, said Coach Lombardi after his Packers had won an unprecedented third straight National Football League playoff title.We were out of time outs. I had the field goal team warming up. They would have gone in on the next play. But I dont know if we would have had time to send them in, he said.Quarterback Bart Starr, who said, We ran out of ideas, made the gamble pay off by scoring from the one on third down behind the blocking of Jerry Kramer.We were stumped for something to do. Kramer made a great block on Jethro Pugh, he said.The veteran Starr had thrown two touchdown passes in the first half, but the Doomsday Defense of the aroused Cowboys had dumped him eight times for 76 yards in losses.Dallas used two Green Bay fumbles to draw close with a touchdown and field goal and had gone ahead on the first play of the last quarter on a 50-yard option pass from halfback Dan Reeves to Lance Rentzel.I didnt figure all those people up there in the stands could take the cold for an overtime game, said Lombardi with a grin. You cant say Im always without compassion.Both Starr and Lombardi praised the work of Donny Anderson and Chuck Mercein Will Dissly Jersey Elite , who caught important passes and made crucial gains in the game winning, 68-yard march.The Dallas Cowboys, still carrying the memories of a heart breaking 34-27 defeat last New Years Day, almost made the fierce cold pay off for them in Packer fumbles. But it wasnt enough.Minus 13, said Don Meredith, quarterback for the Cowboys. You just cant do things you want to do in weather like this.The Cowboy defense did things it wanted to do, manhandling Starr. George Andrie was a one-man gang, and Bob Lilly Pugh and Willie Townes all had a hand as well as linebackers Chuck Howley and Dave Edwards.In the final analysis, it was the same old Packers, moving when they had to.This is what the Packers are all about, said Lombardi. What we did in the last two minutes 鈥?they dont do it for individual glory, they do it because they respect each other and have a feeling for the other fellow.Starrs two touchdown passes to Boyd Dowler had built up an early 14-0 lead for the favored Packers in the frigid cold of 13 below zero weather. But Dallas struck back by turning two fumbles into a touchdown and a field goal and then took the lead in the final period on a 50-yard option pass from Reeves to Rentzel.In the dramatic final seconds, the Packers pulled it out for Lombardi, and moved into the Jan. 14 Super Bowl game at Miami against the American Football League champion Oakland Raiders.Trailing 17-14 with 4:54 to go, Starr took the Packers 68 yards in 12 plays, and at last crashed over for the winner after two smashes by Anderson failed to move the ball. It was third and one when Starr took matters into his own hands.Spuring a field goal attempt that might have sent the game into sudden death overtime, Starr and Lombardi elected to go for the win.It was a question of the team knowing what they had to do with time running out, Lombardi said. They arrived.Hundreds of the sellout crowd of 50,861 surged onto the playing surface after Starr smashed home for the big touchdown that could be worth $27 Authentic Marquis Haynes Jersey ,500 for each Packer.When the game ended two plays later, the half frozen spectators in the gaily colored ski gear, red hunting coats and blue and yellow parkas attacked the metal goal posts and finally twisted them to the ground.It was the second heart breaking defeat for Coach Tom Landry and his Cowboys in two NFL title games for they had lost last New Years Day in the Cotton Bowl 34-27 when a desperate last-down pass by Meredith was intercepted by Tom Brown.Time after time, the aroused Dallas defenders smeared Starr, tossing him eight times for losses of 76 yards as he attempted to de-ice his throwing arm and get off a pass.It seemed that the Cowboys, who appeared on the way out of the game when the Packers ran up an early 14-0 lead, had gained the momentum to take the first title to Dallas.A fumble by Starr after he was hit by Townes was scooped up by defensive end Andrie, who rumbled the final seven yards for a Dallas touchdown late in the second period.Just before halftime, another Packer misplay gave the Cowboys a chance to close the gap. This time, it was safety Willie Wood fumbling the ball while attempting a fair catch. Rookie defensive back Phil Clark recovered from Dallas on the Packers 17.On fourth and six, Danny Villanueva connected with a 21-yard field goal.Instead of a romp, Green Bay suddenly found itself in a dog fight, betrayed by the bitter Packer weather on the coldest Dec. 31 in the history of the local Weather Bureau.Held to 42 yards in the first half, Dallas began to move the ball in the third per
PHOENIX For the first time this season, the Arizona Diamondbacks had their projected big four in the lineup Thursday, although that did not keep the San Diego Padres from winning the first contest of a four-game series.
Right fielder Steven Souza Jr. was activated from the disabled list after missing the majority of the season with a pectoral injury suffered the final week of spring training, at last joining first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, center fielder A.J. Pollock and third baseman Jake Lamb in the same lineup.
Lamb and Pollock also were on the disabled list at times in the early season, keeping the foursome apart.
When we traded for Steven Youth Tre'Quan Smith Jersey , there was a lot of excitement, hoping we could get all of these guys on one lineup card, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. It means that we are getting healthy, and it means the good things are on the way.
Although Pollock had two of Arizonas 11 hits and lefty-hitting Lamb had an RBI single off San Diego left-hander Eric Lauer, the Padres took a 6-3 victory at Chase Field.
Arizona right-hander Zack Godley is scheduled to face Padres lefty Joey Lucchesi in the second game of the series Friday.
Without their full complement, the Diamondbacks have not produced at expected levels this season, although the installation of a humidor as well as health could play into it.
They have 381 runs, two more than the league average, but are hitting a league-low .230 and have a .699 OPS, 12th in the league and ahead of only the Mets, Miami and San Diego. The Diamondbacks worked through a 2-15 stretch in May to regain the NL West lead in June, although they fell into a virtual tie with the Dodgers with their loss Thursday.
Weve been two different teams in two different months, Lovullo said. Its been crazy. But now that everybody is healthy, we are hoping that there is a little lineup continuity and we start to do the things that we were projected as a team that we could do.
Were winning games. Were doing OK in that regard. But I feel like offensively with this group of guys on the field at one time, we could do some pretty special things. I know that these guys are anxious to get going and play together.
The return to full health will give Arizona a chance to assess its full roster as the July 31 trade deadline approaches.
Projecting the things we want to offensively with this group, it will give us a snapshot of what we really are, Lovullo said. I know we already are a good team. If guys perform, and we are talking about some good players coming back, if guys perform up to their abilities Giants Elite Jerseys , we are going to be even better.
San Diego, meanwhile, found hitting support from Wil Myers and Carlos Asuaje in winning Thursday, and oft-rumored trade chip Brad Hand struck out the side in the ninth inning after a leadoff infield single for his 24th save.
Nos. 2-3 hitters Asuaje and Myers had two hits and a triple apiece, and Myers drove in two runs. Asuaje, who also walked, scored twice. Asuaje has hit safely in all four games back after spending the previous six weeks in the minors because of the Padres glut of middle infielders.
Hes had good at-bats, Padres manager Andy Green said. Hes put himself in position to earn more playing time. Whatever he makes of that opportunity is up to him.
Godley is 9-6 with a 5.07 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP. He had a four-game winning streak broken in his last appearance, when he gave up seven runs and nine hits in a 9-6 loss to San Francisco on Sunday.
He beat the Padres in his only start against them this season, giving up two runs in a 6-2 victory on April 21. Golden has pitched well at home, going 4-2 with a 4.14 ERA in seven starts. He is 2-3 with a 5.23 ERA in 10 career appearances (seven starts) against the Padres.
Rookie Lucchesi, 4-3 with a 3.26 ERA, is to make his fourth start since returning from the disabled list with a right hip strain that kept him out for a month. He gave up four runs and five hits in his lone appearance against Arizona, a 4-2 loss April 22.
Included in Lucchesis repertoire is a combination changeup/curveball that has been dubbed a churve. He grips the pitch like a changeup but the pitch has the opposite break, down and in to a right-handed hitter instead of the true changeup movement of down and away. He also throws a true curve, which he has used more than the churve since his return.
