Wrapping up our presentation of archival material from Sports Review’s 1967 Pro Football, we have their prediction of how the season would go for the Packers. Let’s say they were pretty accurate in their final assessment.
We also present a great image of famous broadcaster Ray Scott and quarterback Bart Starr. Scott began his broadcasting career on radio in the late 1930s. His first NFL broadcasts came in 1953 over the DuMont network; three years later he began doing play-by-play on Packers broadcasts for CBS-TV, and it was in Green Bay that his terse, minimalist style (e.g.: "Starr… Dowler… Touchdown") developed its greatest following. Scott was paired primarily with former Packer great Tony Canadeo on Green Bay telecasts. As the team's announcer, Scott broadcast Super Bowl I and II for CBS, along with the brutally cold "Ice Bowl" NFL championship game of 1967.
Scott was twice named National Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, was given regional awards by that organization 12 times in four different states, and was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 1982. Posthumous honors include the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award by the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000, and induction into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame as a contributor in July 2001.
