Getting older means talking about things that most have no clue as to what they are. Absolutely right! Many who watched that didn't even have Color TV's yet. 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.

Not all the time. Was just watching a game they cut to after the local market, Bears, finished early. I forget which game. That game ran over. The cut it. I think it was the Tyrod Taylor blowing the OT game in week #1??? I forgot now. By the way... I was pissed not catching Tyrod crap the bed!!!!!

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...
BillsfaninChicago Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I always loved it when Chris Berman would call it the “Heidi Bowl” anytime the Raiders and Jets played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears game finished. Went to Browns game. That went over, but they cut it. Missed OT I think. I was pissed! Why tease me? On the hour, message came on, not obligated to show rest...

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? I also lived in NYC, but took my father and I a little time to figure out what was going on and turn on the radio and listen to the end of the Jet's broadcast.

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...

Weird no one calls out posts like this, but people have this thing about how Peterman tried his darndest. And we should all wish him the best and some other *****. Don't mean to accuse you of the hypocrisy, just when I point out people hating on tyrod, I get... "we don't do that". I'm all for rooting against former Bills. Not a fan of the pity party some of these people want to throw. And heaven forbid you criticize the Peterman. 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...
