Inside the NFL was must see TV in that era

At the time of our first Super Bowl, I was with a Cavalry unit deep in the Arabian Desert for the First Gulf War.  Kickoff was at something like 2:30am local time, but I was far out of TV or radio reach.  The only thing we could weakly pick up sometimes on a shortwave radio was the BBC World Service, which didn't usually cover American sports.   Nonetheless, I asked the soldiers on radio watch that night to wake me up if they heard anything.  

 

Just before dawn, one of my soldiers shook me violently as I lay asleep, "Sir!  Wake up!  The Bills won!  The Bills won!"

 

I jumped out of my cot and asked him the final score.  But he seemed confused.  When I pressed him, he admitted the signal from BBC World Service was full of static and he wasn't sure what the announcer actually said.  Something about a last-second field goal.

Frantic, I called higher headquarters on the army FM radio but they hadn't gotten an update.  So I glued myself to the shortwave radio, listening to the BBC.  There was so much hissing and crackling, I only understood maybe 1 word in 10.  But finally, hours later, came the crushing disappointment.  To this day, I've never watched a replay of that game and never will.

There were so many chances of Bills winning their first  Super Bowl game. Cornelius Bennett dropping that pass from Hostetler that could have been a pick 6 was huuuge!
