The STUPIDEST BROADCASTING DECISION in NFL on CBS HISTORY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Imagine letting fans vote on what game you want your network to air, even though there's a clear-cut winner for what the best game is and what game typically draws the best ratings. However, you don't vet the voting process, and you allow a vocal minority to skew the results heavily against the silent majority, leaving tons of NFL fans disappointed in the process. Well, in week 15 of the 1990 season, KMOV, the CBS affiliate in St. Louis, decided for some reason that this would be a good idea, and the result was an absolute catastrophe. This is the story behind one of the stupidest NFL broadcasting decisions in the history of CBS

Getting great flashbacks of the 2008 Mets fan internet poll asking which song they should play for the seventh inning stretch and trolls flooded it with Never Gonna Give You Up to Rick Roll Shea Stadium, which the team honored and actually ended up happening.🤣
I had an assignment about a song and why I chose it. I chose Never Gonna Give You Up
Regarding the television ratings, I was half expecting you to say “an average rating of 5.9, which is worse than if you just spiked the ball into the ground on every single play…”
I’ll show myself out…
Which is worse than a TV station spiking test patterns on every play.
Infante over Lambeau and Lombardi for best coach in Packers history...riiiiiiiiiiight.
Infante seems more entertaining. u never knew what would happen. Lombardi sounded like he won to much. to boring.
Hell in that case let's go Chuck Fairbanks over Belichick then for Pats
Hue Jackson is the GOAT
15:30 for our beloved catch phrase
Cut it out! Please show supporting evidence / documentation that the Eagles were "considering" moving to Phoenix. Leaving Philadelphia for Phoenix makes 0 sense.
It is NEVER SMART to give in to the VOCAL MINORITY!
Trolls existed long before the internet. lol
So, this is the second time the Cardinal fans were screwed over by the city of St. Louis.
The first time was?
It was a small minority of small minded Bidwill haters that didn’t want to show the Cardinals game in St Louis
For a time, St. Louis had the Rams before they moved back to.Los Angeles.
In 2021, 13 of the Rams' 17 regular-season games were telecast locally in St. Louis.
Personally, the only reason I ever rooted for em was the fact that they moved to St. Louis. I always hated the Rams. Still, I know a lot of people who root for em to this day.
I read that quite a few Raiders games were televised locally in the Bay Area in 2021 as well
They're name that year was the St Phoenix Football Louis Cardinals. Little known fact.
My favorite team name was the Tennessee Memphis Nashville Oilers formerly of Houston & Knuckles
Here's an interesting tidbit for you about this game from the Cowboys perspective. It also didn't air in Dallas-Ft. Worth. This game is, in fact, the last Dallas Cowboys home game to be blacked out locally due it not selling out by the Thursday deadline. The game would end up selling out before it's Sunday kick off, but the rules at the time prohibited from being shown locally. This didn't effect me at all, because my Dad took me and my buddy to the game (Sec. 204) and it was glorious. As we left Texas Stadium that afternoon we knew we were in for something very special in the upcoming years of Cowboys football.
Silent Majority: "It moved us.....TO A BIGGER HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Watching these clips of Timm Rosenbach(#3) has me thinking of what might have been. Kid was fearless and had a ton of potential. The Cards/Eagles game you keep showing was his first win and I was there. Then in the next pre-season he blew out his knee and his career was over. Another game shown was Roy Green scoring against the 49ers. This was a game where the Cards trailed SF 23-0 in the 3rd and came back to win, their 2nd miracle comeback that came nearly a year to the day from their 25 point 4th quarter comeback against Tampa. I was at that game too.
It is nice to hear someone understand and remember how good Timm Rosenbach was. So many Cardinal fans don't know or realize the hype the Cards were getting with him at QB. I was so excited about him and just enjoyed watching him play. He was the QB of the future and the Cards were headed in the right direction when his knee collapsed and sent the franchise back yet again. Cards had finally found young QB and he was gone. Cards were and are snake bitten.
@@andrewmitchell1565Rosenbach was Jake Plummer before there was a Jake Plummer. He was that combo QB who could throw on the run and run if he had to. He needed polishing but when Bugel came in he was given the keys to the car. He didn't have a great first season as a starter(if you remember the first game he ever started was in 1989, a 27-0 blowout against Denver) but the promise was there. As I said I got to see his first win at Philly and even though they went on a losing streak after that he was making progress and the team did win 3 in a row. He threw for over 3,000 yards and ran for another 470. Then he blew his knee out which took his heart. After that we watched every 2 bit loser and has been throw for this team until Plummer was drafted in 1997. Small wonder we made the playoffs the next season(I was there for that too, LOL).
I remember that Niners/Cardinals Game in '88, played almost the exact same way as Cowboys/Eagles two weeks earlier (Eagles trailed 17-0 and won 24-23 on a TD pass from Cunningham to Anthony Toney with four seconds left).
Ha.... remember when Dr Z from sports illustrated said he will be better than Aikman
15:56 OK, who else heard Dean Wormer from “Animal House”?
“Mister Gannon. Zero. Point. Zero.”
A blutarsky qb rating...so he still got in 2 qbs that had ratings below the magic line
KMOV has long been a weird station in making decisions. Around this time, the station also had a reputation for pre-empting national programming without any explanation and for years, ran The Young & the Restless at 4:00 pm instead of the 11:30 am slot it has long aired in basically every other CBS affiliate in the Central time zone. I believe there is a book about CBS during that era that details KMOV's bizarre broadcasting moves.
Until very recently WNCN (WRAL when it was CBS from 1993 to 2016)the CBS affiliate in Raleigh aired Young and the Restless at 4pm. Originally WRAL moved the soap to compete with Oprah Winfrey on WTVD.
Back when CBS owned the station as KMOX network pre-emotions were few and far between. St. Louisians could dependably count on CBS programming, from the classics to the duds, at the appointed hours. A similar situation happened in Detroit when WXYZ switched from ABC O&O to Scripps-Howard ownership. The days of WXYZ clearing ABC's entire schedule was equally over and they dropped some network stuff ss KMOV did.
They let Steve Savard go in 2020. Definitely another weird decision.
I once heard that in the early 1970's KMOX actually bumped CBS's powerhouse Saturday night schedule to a delayed basis (after the late news) just about every week from October through April to carry St. Louis Blues hockey games, despite the station being a CBS O&O.
Is thus true?
they also delayed Letterman for Love Connection
I remember that weekend, I was in College in Kirksville a couple hours north. There were a lot of KC fans at that school (and a lot of indifferent guys from Illinois who were Bear's fans), so we were all watching Houston KC. This was the game Warren Moon SHOULD have broken the single-game yardage record, the Oilers stopped trying with about 10 minutes left and the game in hand, and he finished with 527. This was against a Chiefs team that was top 10 in pass defense, not the bloody New York Yanks, and he DESTROYED them. The Chiefs fans were actually angry he didn't break the record, because he had made them look THAT bad. That day, the run and shoot looked invincible. You should do a show on that game.
Eventually, we would learn it wasn't invincible, at all, Warren Moon, has always had a problem, a huge problem, with, "doing things he really shouldn't," throughout his life, blood simple.
As a Packer fan born after this "Greatest Coach Ever" poll took place, I could not stop laughing at Lindy Infante winning. Almost in tears, man lol
There was a third CBS game, Falcons at Browns, in the 1 pm ET/noon CT slot that week
0:17 I ask myself that pretty much every week with the Jets and Giants in my market.
I'm guessing not far enough away from NYC?
The average TV rating for the St Louis Cardinals games was a 9.7. But the average rating for Star, Sky and Hutch reruns was 82.6. So, y'know. What're they gonna run?...lol
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about another poll taken by Intel during Super Bowl 32. That poll, like this one, suffered from bad timing, as KMOV could have done this any other week than the two in which the Cardinals were playing the Cowboys.
(“That Guy” alert) This uOJG9h will also remind everyone you made a video yesterday about Jim Shofner’s time as Browns interim coach in 1990. His only win that year was over Atlanta. That game was on CBS at noon CT in Week 15. Then again, considering how bad both the Falcons and Browns were at the time I’m guessing it barely registered a blip in St Louis.
Okay, now you got me curious about this whole Lindy Infante debacle in Green Bay. I'm a lifelong Green Bay Packers fan, and have never heard of this "poll".
Thank you for another in-depth story. These are my daily must-haves.
Kelly didn't see that safety coming at all 🤣
I was at that Vikings/Bucs game. Gannon was playing because Wilson was coming back from injury.
I grew up in st louis and remember this a bit, although I was young. I remember my father saying that most people were watching the phoenix games (the phoenix deserters) to root for the other team asthere was a lot of resentment.
You gotta feel sorry for st louis, losing two teams in my lifetime through no fault of their own.
PS. As I grew up with the football and baseball cardinals in st louis, I thought that was how al cities were supposed to be with the teams sharing the same mascot. Only later did I find out this was I think the only example of this in history.
St louisians differentiated by calling the baseball team the Cards and football the Big Red.
KMOV St Louis Channel 4. I remember this well. I was watching the Oilers/Chiefs where Warren Moon threw for over 500 yards
I was in St. Louis during this time as well and I did the same thing.
I love this series of dumb broadcasting decisions. One peculiar decision that comes to mind is NBC and CBS airing games on a regional basis for the first round of the 1982 playoffs as opposed to both networks showing doubleheaders so every team can be seen nation wide. What was the reason that 4 of the 8 playoff games weren't able to be seen by the fans unless they had tickets for one of those games?
Unsure, but, I have a personal broadcast undermining to relate, I lived in, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and, the day Emmitt Smith broke the rushing record, a meaningless game between, the, Falcons, and, Saints, was shown, instead, because their QBs, Michael Vick, and, Aaron Brooks, were, cousins, and, also, local, pathetic.
Probably cause both days were set in advance, which would normally be the divisional round. Thus you have NBA, NCAAB, and PGA considerations.
Also would explain the Sat/Sun championship games. Remember the NFL didn't exactly dictate TV slots in Jan 83 like it would over the next few decades.
@@mgb4692 Was still miserable, though.
Being in Maryland I am.a Jaguar fan so obviously it's hard to watch Jacksonville so anytime they put a Jaguar game on TV I am happy
"Arizona Eagles" doesn't even sound right.
Neither, does Cardinals, Roadrunners does, though, for that matter, having an NFL team named after a songbird is ridiculous, they should only be named after birds, with, talons, at least Ravens are, "mysterious," there actually is such a thing as a Desert Eagle, but, suffice it to say, it's, not, a bird.
Strictly speaking, the NFL team is named after the color, not the bird. A woman looking at their uniforms way back in the 1910's described them as a "lovely shade of cardinal."
@@pronkb000 Ridiculous all the same.
@@pronkb000 It was the team owner describing the faded maroon jerseys he bought from the University of Chicago for his team in 1901 (the Cardinals are the oldest professional football team in the US that is still playing).
@@Kylora2112 The worst, in addition.
13:29 The greatest run after catch in Tommie Agee's career.
Interesting thing about the Bucs-Vikings game - Vinny Testaverde had 100 yards rushing. He had 1600 rushing for his career....a VERY long career.
A career that the NFL indensibly allowed to continue, 1998 was his last good season, 2004 was the last season he began on a roster, 2007 was the last season he played in the NFL, and, only to put his name on, "consecutive, years, with," lists, just reprehensible all around.
@@matthewdaley746 int king with 35 picks one year. nfl record. he was a parcells favorite and has him and bb to thank for that 'longevity'.
@@stevenbauer4799Enabled, "longevity," miserably, pathetic.
Suprised the Bears didn't just become the team for St Louis.
Make sense in 1995 when both the Rams & Raiders left LA KTTV 11 didn't even bother showing the Rams but KNBC 4 aired Raiders games for about a year and a half after they moved to Oakland until week 5 at Bears
You would think that they would air the Chicago Bears NFC games since they were the closest NFC team at the time in the Saint Louis market. Sure the Cardinals were popular at the time but, if they weren't going to show the Cardinals then why not the Bears?
Fan voting is always stupid. Fans should not be allowed to vote for anything
"I represent the Cardinals...."
"Keep walking"
Well at least Gannon with a 0.0 passer rating was only his 2nd worst moment ever vs the Bucs.
Morale of the story Trolls have existed since the dawn of time
People in st. Louis hated the Cardinals for leaving, right? Isn't that why this happened?
It was more the Bidwell family ownership than the team on the field. Stormy Bidwell was never going to win any “Most Popular Fella in St. Louis” awards.
I want to hear more of this best coach poll in Green Bay debacle.
This is why most recent moves involve a name change. Cut the emotional connection for the old city.
Especially when the old name makes no sense in the new market (Jazz, Lakers, etc).
LIVE NFL TRIVIA EVERY Wednesday night on TWITCH!!!!! HUGE CASH PRIZES!!!! TEST YOUR FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE. The STUPIDEST decision made by CBS was NOT to SHOW the Buffalo Bills. Instead they decided to show 2 teams (The Dallas Cowboys and the Phoenix Cardinals) that are WAY BELOW a 39.6. 2 teams that would have been WAY MORE ENTERTAINING if they had SPIKED the football into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!!!
I was just about to comment that this video belongs in the Dumb Decisions series when you brought in that line. Nice.
15:57 is it... worse than if you did nothing but spike the ball into the ground on every play?
It's the ultimate...but he had used his catch phrase 30 seconds prior
He didn't say it🤯
@@teen_laqueefa he said it 30 seconds earlier
@@RCVictoryLane lol he normally doesn't worry about over saying that!!!
The obvious choice vs Vikings-Bucs: I love democracy
heck, just drive about 30 miles south and get KFVS which I just looked up, was in fact showing the Cards and Cowboys out of Cape
A decent tall antenna aimed south would have sufficed without the drive. Back in the day, when Cowboys games got blacked out in DFW for not selling out, we would aim our 50 foot tall antenna toward Wichita Falls and pull it with no problem.
Didn't CBS send their lead NFL production team, including Pat Summerall and John Madden, to the Phoenix/Dallas game that's the subject of this video?
It was James Brown and Randy Cross, Madden and Dick Stockton did Packers/Eagles (Summerall missed the last three reg season games and the wildcard game with a bleeding ulcer)
15:28
Since Saint Louis has been skunked twice which team is now considered the "home" team?
Kansas City
St.Louis market is a fail. They just need to show some Vikings, Bears, and or Chiefs games and they are good.
Infante Field does sound pretty cool though
Does anyone know if there was a similar effect for Tennessee Oilers games in Houston market? My rusty recollection is no, maybe because Cowboys had (and still have) a pretty strong following there and they were still pretty good then, though not as solid as the early-mid 90s Cowboys. Also, I doubt StL had quite the hate for ownership that Bud Adams received in Houston
No. Disgust for Bud Adams was so great that KPRC would show the better matchups instead of the Oilers. Remember that during the Oilers’ final years in Houston, the home games were always blacked out locally so fans weren’t in the habit of getting to watch them regularly anyway. Plus, from 1997-2001, the NFL declared Houston as being a “Cowboys market” and they got TV priority during those years.
I live in the Tri-Cities TN/VA market (NE TN/SW VA). When the announcement was made that the Oilers were moving to Tennessee, WCYB, the NBC affiliate here, showed Oilers games as if they were the home market in 1996. So most weeks, we got to see games live from an empty Astrodome.
@@cudaman340 @Anthony cochran That all jives with my memory as well. I even went to a couple games that last season when my neighbor who was a season ticket holder since the Luv Ya Blue days just gave them all away. The Astrodome looked as empty as the post John Jenkins era Cougars games lol
This shit is the reason I really stop watching NFL and started to watch CFL and Indoor FL at least I can watch those at my own time after work and not cowtow to shitty local stations.
I was at that game in Tampa.
As a Missourian p, even if it’s on the western side of the state I disagree that the football Cardinals were the most popular team in the city. That’s the baseball team.
I know no one cares, but I would pick Jacksonville versus Houston over Kansas City versus Cincinnati.
In the present? Because a CIN-KC game would be a shoo-in for primetime after the games in January. HOU-JAX, not so much.
I like how all these idiots always say teams take on each other. Or they clash or collide or it's a wild west shoot out. Team never just PLAY each other. That would imply that it was just a game. Football is war it's life and death. That's why they never play each other.
greatest uniforms for all four teams
A who gives a shit game vs a who gives a shit game that nobody cared about
Wow, Vinny Testaverde sure had a set of wheels that week.
CAN YOU BLAME THE MINORITY IN THIS CASE??? ST LOUIS STILL HAD FANS UPSET THE CARDS LEFT TOWN
Although 5 years later the Rams would roll into St Louis and in 2017 they rolled back to LA
Same concept as injured players getting voted as starters for NBA and MLB All Star Games.
2016 poll on the greatest coach ever: Coachy McCoachface.
In Fact in Missouri they were called the Desert Rats instead of Big Red.
Dude I love your content and appreciate everything you do but you seriously need to slow down man
That decision was like watching Ghostbusters 2016 answer the call directed by Paul Feig
Speaking of which, that film failed because it sucked, not, because of, sexism, and/or, racism, Leslie Jones truly needs to shut up, take comedy lessons, and, get a better hairstylist, btw, RIP, Ivan Reitman.
@@matthewdaley746 Just as bad as that WW 2 and kathryn bigelow thinking kristin wiig could pull off playing tough. And that movie sucked big time too.
@@stevenbauer4799 Kathryn Bigelow used to be one of my favorite directors, and, one day, she decided that her films had to be, "important," that was pretty much it, what a waste.
@@matthewdaley746 yep. She definitely lost it in the #meetoo era. A few good acclaimed movies sure goes to their heads.

Zero point Zero
It going to be 5 years since the Chargers left and San Diego still show thier games
The only poll that matters is the one the jury takes.
i would watch the texans game thats my team hahhah
“The first non-strike year that the playoffs consisted of 12 teams”. 🤣. Actually the strike was in 1987, and this was in 1990, three years later. So you are incorrect.
Playoffs were at 10 teams in 1987. In 1982, there was a strike and the playoffs were at 16 teams
I guess technically you are right since they had more than 12 teams make it in 1982
The playoffs were expanded to 12 teams in 1990. I think that's what he meant.
I’m sure it was because St Louis is boring lol
8th
Ok lets get a vote to elimimate that 39.6 comment.
@OfficialJaguarGator9 And when the Cardinals aired on NBC. KSDK the NBC affiliate aired the Cardinals
“Phoenix was a hot market…” I see what you did there
Lol
As a Missourian, it’s interesting to hear a story like this specifically mentioning KMOV and KRCG. I’m in the Springfield area and have no memory of what game KOLR aired on this faithful Sunday, but I do recall that they too did a “poll” in connection with the Phoenix Cardinals. Right after the Cardinals moved, KOLR did a survey asking if they should air the Cardinals, Cowboys, or Bears on Sundays. The winner: the Chicago Bears! They even started showing “The Mike Ditka show” in Springfield, LOL! This didn’t last long though. Once Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys, Dallas became the NFC team featured on Springfield TV on Sundays (Jerry Jones’ dad Pat Jones was from Springfield).
have they ever turned down the Chiefs? I'm sure that's been a while
In 2020 and 2021, viewers in San Diego still got almost every Chargers' game on local TV, even though they had moved two and a half hours north to Los Angeles.
I feel like moving from one city to another in the same state isn't as big of deal as moving to a new state. I would still support my team if they still resided in my state.
The bay and Sacramento have still been getting all the raiders games too even tho they moved to vegas too
Looking at the NFL schedule that week, there wasn’t very many good choices for CBS. The early games had Falcons at Browns, Cardinals at Cowboys and Vikings at Buccaneers. That’s it. The later afternoon games featured the Redskins at Patriots and Packers at Eagles. The Rams and 49ers played MNF and the Bears and Lions on SNF. This was the week of the infamous Bills-Giants game at the Meadowlands, meaning it was on NBC, where the Bills beat the Giants 17-13 in a preview of that years Super Bowl where the Giants won 20-19.
The Giants had a great Game Plan, but, the Bills still fell for it, oh, and, The Four Falls Of Buffalo Documentary was way too late to apologize for throwing Scott Norwood under the bus, period.
That was also the time that Pat Summerall missed time because he entered alcohol rehabilitation. I remember Jim Henderson who usually worked with Hank Stram called the Vikings-Buccaneers game with Dan Fouts because Verne Lundquist who usually worked with Fouts was working with Madden on the Eagles/Packers game. I believe Brad Nessler and Dan Jiggetts called the Falcons and Browns game.
And Bills/Giants was a Saturday, meaning NBC's slate wasn't too stacked either. I watched Seahawks/Dolphins but don't remember anything else from it.
@@mgb4692 Whoa, I didn’t even notice that. Redskins-Patriots was Saturday too. My mistake. It’s still a pretty bad group of games there. I mean, the the 3 best NFC teams played either on Saturday or in prime time. The Bills played Saturday. The best game that day was probably Seahawks at Dolphins. The Oilers blew out the Chiefs and the Raiders blew out the Bengals. The Eagles shut out the Packers later on that afternoon. I’m guessing here in Iowa we got that late game and NBC had the doubleheader that weekend?
@@crowtservo Actually CBS had the doubleheader I do believe.
Where your gut tells you something's wrong, and, unsurprisingly, your gut is smarter than TV executives.
That was a hell of a run by Vinny Testaverde.
13:20 The greatest run of Tommie Agee's career.
Would love to see the greatest run of Michael Wiley’s career.
With the final line of this video, shows that you can have a Dumb Decisions video without making it a Dumb Decisions type video.
Locally, we had an issue about team coverage with WBNS CBS-Columbus. Many Steeler fans were vocal about being chosen over Cincinnati. WBNS announced that they are Ohio-first and would show the Bengals over Pittsburgh. The next season, they did similar with the Browns. WBNS stated that with the Browns returning, and their previously popularity, they would be first choice over the Bengals. Even as a Bengal fan, I appreciated the transparency.
Don't you love it when Fox28 defers their game choice to 4pm when the Browns or Bengals are the first half of a doubleheader?
Since when did cancel culture learn how to time travel? Because this is a perfect example of it, long before the term was even a thing,
14:44 rumor is fans are still not over this to this day. Thousands enrolled in counseling and have PTSD due to missing this game.
Something like this happened in 1992 here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. WKJG-TV (NBC station) ran a poll to decide which game they would air. One option was a Colts game and another was Buffalo-Miami. Buffalo-Miami won the poll and aired that Sunday. Then the Colts complained to WKJG about Fort Wayne being a secondary market for Indianapolis. After that, if NBC had a doubleheader, the poll would be conducted on what 2nd game would air and NBC only had 1 game with Indy, then a opinion question would be asked.
This reminds me of the times when Shreveport, La.'s KMSS would run a poll when the Cowboys and Saints played in the same window on FOX. The Saints would win the poll in many cases despite the Cowboys being more popular in the market, which includes parts of Texas and Arkansas.
Isn't Shreveport now considered a "secondary market" for New Orleans Saints' games, meaning all their games must be shown in that city?
I'm from Dallas and was living in Phoenix at the time and I remember that game. Everyone at the bar was ruting for The Cardinals and I was jumping up and down when The Cowboys would score.
2:48 is Championship levels of savage 😂😂😂
The Cardinals football franchise has gone longer without winning a championship than any other team in major American professional sports. The last championship they won was in 1947, when they beat the Philadelphia eagles 7 to 0. They were the Chicago Cardinals then. The 1947 game was played in a snowstorm.
Another interesting fact regarding the Cardinals is that the Vikings were not the first NFL team to play a regular season game in Minnesota. The Chicago Cardinals played one game in Minnesota in 1958 and 1959. That was probably why the Vikings ended up in Minnesota in 1961. The ownership group was originally going to go with the AFL in 1960. But they dropped out for the NFL. The AFL needed an eighth team. That team turned out to be the Oakland Raiders.
You can understand the Vikings thinking. The national football league was the established league. The AFL who knew what was going to happen. But it turned out good for both Minnesota and Oakland.
I would have thought they wanted to see 3-10 Atlanta vs 2-11 Cleveland. Why didn't that game get some love?
To quote Philip J Fry shut up and take my money.
I remember that the Falcons @ Browns game was blacked out in the Cleveland market and instead (WJW, which was a CBS affiliate at the time, currently a FOX affiliate since 1994) showed Vikings @ Buccaneers that Sunday. The NBC affiliate in Cleveland, WKYC, showed Bengals @ Raiders, in which Bo Jackson had a memorable 88-yard run.
@@westholmes2001 was it his last game?
@@teen_laqueefa No. Bo's last game wouldn't be until a month later, funnily enough, against the same team.
@@Tubewings I'm a Bengals fan here in Cincinnati it still bothers me to this day that we were the one who hurt him
You could've put that under dumb decisions.
Growing up in Gainesville, FL the Buccaneers are the “Home” Team but also the Jaguars became such although I don’t think that they (Jags) remain such.
FYI: Baltimore's WBAL-TV went back to NBC after being a CBS affiliate for a time between the late 1970's and mid 1990's.
WBAL-TV was a CBS affiliate from 1981 to 1995.
It is absolutely ridiculous that the NATIONAL Football League still utilizes regional broadcasting. Every FBS college football game is broadcasted nationally. That’s 120 college teams that you can watch every Saturday no matter where you live. They even have high school teams on national television. But the juggernaut that is the NFL chooses to not broadcast their 32 teams nationally. I get it, there are TV contracts. But it’s time to move on from those archaic broadcasting methods. Just let us watch every team every Sunday regardless of our market.
Hey JG8 I was wondering if you have done a video yet in the dumbest plays series on the 1990 afc WC game between the Chiefs and dolphins? If not you should because the choices shottenheimer made before Lowery attempts the game winning 53 yard fg made absolutely no sense. Not tryin to get the kicker closer in a era when 50+ yard fgs we're rare made no FUCKING sense
So what happened to Christopher Luning? Did he receive hate mail, public threats for even suggesting this?
Those angry Cards fans were the first Trumpterds.
