(sorry..only the fellow elderly here will get that.)


A piece of trivia:
On 11/17/1968, in what is called "The Heidi Game," NBC infamously cut off the final 65 seconds of the Oakland Raiders / NY Jets game to start the movie, "Heidi." In that time, the Oakland Raiders scored two touchdowns to come from behind and win the game. As a result of that incident, games are now broadcast to their conclusion, even if they run long.
I was watching that game. It took a moment then we ran around trying to find a radio.
