I remember watching it too, finally figured out what was going on, tuned it in on radio, by then Raiders had scored the two TD's

I turned on the radio the second they switched the game off, but that's because I lived in the NYC area & could tune in the Jets radio station.  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 tried the same method, WABC at night!!

I believe this is why the networks make that "game will be shown in its entirety" announcement, when a game runs late.

 

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

Eventually there won't be many people who know what this reference even means. Getting older means talking about things that most have no clue as to what they are.

 

Made a David Letterman reference the other day and no high school kids had any idea who he was

Yeah, I have gotten that before with my sailors that worked for me. I was watching college football coverage earlier and they were talking about something being Abbott and Costello like and thought most wouldn't get it.

Dave isn’t something from the 1950s

I get it, but the percentages drop significantly as you go back decades... so if Letterman isn't  a name with those kids, it goes to show most older references are lost on them.

 

I know, I’m in my early fifties and have given up on any analogical or referential comments with people younger than me

Well, I'm almost 50 so I get it. It just doesn't make any sense in my mind that the 70s was 50 years ago... tough to fathom. Just crazy.

I try not to think about it, if I have spare time I will get depressed on it.

 

good thing my 50s are better health wise and in most areas than my previous three decades

 

Almost 50, it’s the 50th for 1968 and the White Album

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 remember this clearly, and it’s the ONLY reason to remember Heidi. 

 

The Jets last week played like her crippled cousin. 

 

...they were prayin' for Heidi............Bowles had her on speed dial as his salvation......she hung up...........
