SuperBowl XLI DVD now available
A new DVD celebrating the Indianapolis Colts is much more than the usual game-by-game season recap. It’s about the entire process of how the Colts overcame previous playoff disappointments to become a champion.
Titled “2006 Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl XLI Champions” and released this week by NFL Films, the 73-minute DVD focuses on insights, the sideline and on-field banter, and key plays from the season.
Though the reactions, including from play-by-play radio voice Bob Lamey, come during good times and bad, Colts fans will find the memories are mostly fond ones (just fast-forward if you don’t want to see those late-season losses).
Camera angles are from field level, and for effect, some big plays are shown at game speed and then in classic slow motion. Harry Kalas narrates the game clips with his distinctive bass-heavy voice.
Included with the credits after the game-by-game segment are clips of Colts comments at the Super Bowl homecoming celebration at the RCA Dome. They culminate with owner Jim Irsay saying, “I couldn’t be more excited and the thing about it now, starting on Feb. 5, is when you refer to Indianapolis, Indiana, you refer to ‘em as world champions!”
Irsay shouts those last two words, then hoists the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Extra features include the NFL Network’s postgame coverage, highlights from Super Bowl XLI media day starting with quarterback Peyton Manning, and miked segments from NFL Films.
The DVD has been priced between $19.99 and $25.99 and is available at many area stores.
