I remember listening to this game on radio. It wasn't on tv. Not sure why it wasn't. Perhaps it didn't sell out in time.
The rules back then were that home games were blacked out even if the game sold out................My Dad, Grandmother and Great Uncle went and booked a motel room in Rochester to watch the AFL Championship game that was in Buffalo (I think the other was in San Diego and I'm not sure about the one with KC to go to SB I

If we're talking about Petty's best rock song, I'd easily go with Running Down a Dream. The riff, the ending solo...
But yeah, screw 97 Rock. They play waaaaay too much ***** Eagles as well.
I have often had arguments with my friends about the best Petty songs, and I vote with you, and my friends mainly vote for American Girl.............But, for personal reasons, The Waiting is my favorite, even though I know Running is a better song.

There's about three pictures all time of her legs, too...............And, they look great. I think I read where she didn't like them.

I worked in a combined hydraulic / mechanical shop on a construction project, and the obligatory boom box radio was alternately flipping between 97.3 Boom when the younger crews were working, and 91.7 when the geezer rock crowd (40+) was on. An age mix generally saw CHTZ 97.7.

Canadian artists will actually ensure recordings are made in a Canadian studio as to cement the content issue
Smart move!
When I'm in the car, I listen to Boom 97.3 out of Toronto quite a bit...............A better playlist, by far, than 97 Rock.........And, you definitely do notice the Canadian content.

This was the Bills 1st appearance on Monday Night Football on ABC. The game was played on 10/29/73 in Orchard Park. The Bills won and OJ went over 1000 yards at the mid-point of the season. It was an historic moment in Bills history as they returned to respectability in a new stadium.
Can anyone find a video of this game - anywhere???
I had been looking forward to that like crazy since the schedule came out. I was 11 years old................That day, I got soooooo friggin sick................I begged and pleaded to go anyway............Smashcut to me listening to the game on the radio (no TV then) in bed, sick as a dog, saying my parents were right. A bittersweet night with that great result. It was a miserable rainy night, IIRC

It's about having a market. Stations can try to have a varied format but it never works because listeners are hung up over identity. People who want to listen to what is called classic album rock will not listen to most music post 1980, sports, religion, ethnic-race ,etc. programming. As long as 97 brings in revenue to make a profit the programming will be classic album rock. When that market fades profit wise then the station will have to make a change in terms of format. Who knows maybe 97 will be talk radio in another 10-15 years.
It seems like the Stones, Springsteen Beatles, etc. had music before 1980. But, you wouldn't know it on 97 Rock. It's all AC/ZZ etc.

It's not that I want something newer. I just don't need to hear the same 3 or 4 songs from Floyd, LZ, And Skynyrd every single day.
Exactly. I turned it on Friday when they were in the 400s and it was enjoyable. Songs I hadn't heard it a long time.

Finding the 'Canadian content' version of this is even more vexing. Traffic? Never heard of them, but plenty of Heart, and of course, Trooper. ?
Interesting that Heart qualifies for Canadian content. What about Rick James??
1 hour ago, Just Joshin' said:Agree with Free Fallin' - I am a Petty fan and this is not his best work. I might go with "The Waiting".
100% agreed. The Waiting would be in my personal top 20. Free Fallin is a dirge that I can't turn the channel fast enough on.

God, I hate this more every year. The songs 400-500 for the most part are better than 1-100. Satisfaction is #20. The top Stones song. Their most mediocre song - Start Me Up, is next up for them. The Beatles top out at #22.
Who in the world ever heard Free Fallin' and thought this is one of the top 20 songs of all time. It's not one of the top 2000 songs of all time.
The only thing that I like is that Under Pressure, which I loved from Day One and only got up to I think #29 on the charts is actually #32 here - of all time....................I championed that song when it was out and couldn't believe it didn't make it up higher than 29.

Would this change your mind?.....................This story happened in 2014. Are we like ESPN here, just rehashing content because there is nothing else going on?

Didn't Lennon claim to be the best drummer in The Beatles?!?

But I'd bet you have heard his/their music...
Much like John Prine, I've always known the name, but really didn't know what he's done. I've always had it in my mind that he's a producer, which I don't pay a lot of attention to.

Here's a hint (since I cheated). You can put up a picture of this guy from any day of his life and I wouldn't know who he was.

What the heck???
They're not NY football teams, and Buffalo not shown?
This was actually the other day when he was on Long Island. The day after he talked about looking forward to watching the Bills - when he was in Buffalo.
Today, they got a little smarter and just put up all the major league shields up - not individual teams.

If you don't expect OBL to be anything other than a media arm of a pro sports organization, then it is just fine with Murph and whoever. It will never have direct, overt criticism of the team, but then, we don't get that anyway because reporters are afraid of losing sources/guests. (We don't handle it well anyway - see Sully and Sal Maiorana) I'll take it at face value that Murph was wanting more free time. Brown will be fire, and I'll give Glab a shot. She's so new it's hard to know what she will become. Tasker's thing has been getting old. He really doesn't do prep very much. He relies on that '90s connection, which means little to today's team or game. Props to him for day gone by, but it's time to move on.
How about something in the middle of this state sponsored radio - and total aholes Sully and Sal M?

It's the right time for Murph to leave the day-to-day grind. IMO, his heart hasn't been in it in recent years. Like most older guys, it gets harder and harder to be motivated and not just phone it in (i.e., Vic Carucci, Peter King, Chris Berman, me, myself and I, etc).
Back in the day, One-On-One Sports was the gold standard of radio sports talk. It's a shame that younger fans never got to hear Murph when he brought his "A" Game--which was every bit as good as any national host--every night. Those were special times that I'll always remember fondly...
And, the best of that was Monday Evening Quarterback with Larry Felser the night after a Bills game.

I don't get it. It seems like there's always video of before and after, but not of the start of the actual encounter.
