[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 3115722, member: 12570"] This is a bit before your time: [URL="http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-heidi-bowl"]The Heidi Bowl - Nov 17, 1968 - HISTORY.com[/URL] The Jets were playing the Raiders in what at the time was one of the most exciting games ever played. With just 65 seconds left to play, NBC decided to leave the game for the regularly scheduled broadcast of the movie "Heidi". That was infuriating and led to the unwritten rule of [B]never[/B] leaving an NFL game while in progress, no matter whether it is a blowout or not. This led to my father being pissed every Sunday evening when CBS decided to stay with the game rather than switch to 60 Minutes. [/QUOTE]
