Snowball Spirals Are Kapp Specialty Now
NFL great Joe Kapp balances film work on a mountaintop set near Mt Shasta while clashing with league rules over an unorthodox contract. Rozelle keeps him ineligible until he signs a standard agreement, after which Kapp says he would still consider himself a football player as he shoots an NBC Warner Brothers pilot about Climb an Angry Mountain with Fess Parker and Stella Stevens. He reflects on past MVP fame with the Vikings and a playoff loss to Dallas, saying he’d back the Cowboys for the title.
