Where was it on radio outside of NYC & Oakland? I know WABC traveled pretty far, and I could get it in in Buffalo at night as well as many parts of the east coast, did you also tune in to WABC?

Unfortunately we get stuck with college hoops games that get extended into the first 7 minutes of the better nightcap game (the Duke at Chapel Hill game) because a team insists on fouling and calling every time out down 25 in the last 90 seconds Edited November 17, 2018 by row_33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo in the 1960's regarding AM radio and sports was in a pretty good location especially at night; for Baseball you could get the Chicago teams, St. Louis, Yankees, and Mets, and the Indians locally. The Pirates from KDKA and the Phillies from WICU. Basketball both New York teams and the Celtics from WBZ, same with hockey! I would stay pretty late listening to sports back then!

I'm just happy that I saw it, and, REMEMBER it! There was only a brief shot of the Raider's fans but certainly no resemblance to what we see now! People used to "dress up" to go to an NFL game.

The NFL will cut off a dog of a game to go to a better one on the same network, happened earlier this year on a 1:00 game in the second quarter, not a Bills game football is different though hoopa and baseball won’t do it It was the Miami/Pats game cut before halftime as it was over already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem Cutting the game end to go to a local game start is common for football, one year Mich/Mich St went to OT and they cut it for the Cuse/Noles opening kickoff on Buffalo Chanel 7.... oh well.... the NFL cuts a game to go to the local kickoff all the time, they call it bonus coverage of the early games so you know they are going bye bye possibly also why games were moved to 4:25 in case of the 1pm game going too long Edited November 18, 2018 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything was in technocolor. The first team I watched on color tv was the San Diego Chargers with their diamond shaped end zones. Being a huge football fan, I certainly remember the Heidi game vividly. I was a young man and I was pissed off they switched to some girly show. Sat there thinking they would switch back. The NFL never did that again. The Jets and Raiders were fun teams to watch. They both had really good offenses and the Raiders threw the ball deep often.

It's odd that you hate on tyrod because he seemed capable. But Peterman was so bad, no one dare say a bad thing about him. You're probably in the same crowd that ***** about "participation trophies" and don't see the hypocrisy. It's a joke. Go jump through flaming table. That's less embarrassing than your last post.

No. I like participation trophies. I am liberal. Tyrod screwed the Bills more being lazy. Who do you go harder on the guy that you know can get As and produces Cs as a grade OR the guy that gives his best and gets Cs. Tyrod is the student that should have got As and was underachieving. Of course I don't want to see him do well with another team. Same with Peterman. But Peterman gave all he had... I feel bad for hard workers. I feel don't feel bad for lazy underachieving ones that screw the team more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
