vorpma Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 I remember this game very well; living room full of Jets and Raiders fans all pissed off! 1 1
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 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 1
Marv's Neighbor Posted November 17, 2018 Author Posted November 17, 2018 I believe this is why the networks make that "game will be shown in its entirety" announcement, when a game runs late.
Augie Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 I remember this clearly, and it’s the ONLY reason to remember Heidi. The Jets last week played like her crippled cousin. 1

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!!

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 Edited November 17, 2018 by row_33 1
EasternOHBillsFan Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 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.

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. Edited November 17, 2018 by EasternOHBillsFan

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

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 1

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!
