When I was a kid back in the 1970s, I remember the NFL used to play a game like this, it pitted the Super Bowl champs vs college all-stars. Game was usually competitive because the kids played with something to prove while the NFL team went through the motions.

IIRC, it was a pretty big deal, basically the kick-off to the NFL pre-season like the HOF game is today, and we all watched it. They stopped it around 1976 or so (last NFL team I recall seeing play it was the Steelers) because of injury fears.
