The DUMBEST NFL SCHEDULE EVER | Cowboys @ Browns (1970)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- In 1970, the NFL scheduled a battle between the Dallas Cowboys and the Cleveland Browns on national TV for week 13, with the game taking place on Saturday, December 12. However, when they did this, they paid no regard whatsoever to the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961. And let's just say that chaos ensued because of it, to the point where a bunch of people, through the NFL's incompetence, got screwed over
NOTE: At one point late in the video, I accidentally said the 1990 Bucs, when I meant to say the 1991 Bucs

This all sounded bad enough until I was reminded that the game was also blacked out in Cleveland. Great job, NFL.
I abolutely hate the idea of Black Friday games. That weekend is the biggest week in football at high school and college levels across the country, and now the NFL is trying to dip into that. It's pathetic.
Browns and dumb things go together like American pie and Fourth of July
Very true. This is why I, as a lifelong supporter of the Cincinnati Bengals, have always considered the Cleveland Browns to be the worst team in our division since they were reassigned to the AFL as part of the merger. (Having said that, I do appreciate the built-in rivalry. I would just prefer having both games each year played at Columbus, as was originally the case. After all, Ohio Stadium could handle the crowds from both Paul Brown Stadium and Cleveland Browns Stadium.) Unfortunately, their fans aren't much better. People's Exhibit "A" on that point: Throwing bottles on the field.
At the same time, however, the Dallas 'Pokes and gypping their own fans also go together in the same way. It matters not if Tex Schram or Jerry Jones are in the front office. The best parts of that program were Tom Landry (who brought class to that sideline) and Roger Staubach (the Cincinnati Kid).
NFL Executive: “Playing on Black Friday. Is that… legal?”
Roger Goodell (in Darth Sidious voice) “I will make it legal.”
Or, Roger Goodell in the voice of J. R. Ewing as though threatening to destroy Cliff Barnes.
This is very similar to what happened in 1992 during the first season of the Premier League in regards to Christmas. Unlike in the US, in the UK there is a law that basically says that leagues cannot schedule games on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day so that people can spend time with their families. This is the main reason why there are so many games in the Premier League on the day after Christmas (Boxing Day). However that year for some strange reason the Premier League scheduled a match on Christmas night between Oldham & Southampton because Sky Sports (who had the broadcast rights) thought it would be a good idea to show a Premier League match on Christmas night to get a huge TV audience. Unlike this the Premier League did the sensible thing & rescheduled the match to the final day of the season. For those wondering about the match, it ended with Oldham winning 4-3 in the last minute not only ensuring their league surrival but also relegating Crystal Palace from the Premier League.
As a former Jets season ticket holder and former resident of that area I'm thinking the placement of this NFL game on Black Friday will cause unbelievable traffic and congestion that I can't even imagine. And if the American Dream mega-mall next door is open...fughettaboutit. Having it at 3pm and not 1pm is better but this could get crazy fast. Good luck with this.
@Matt Pizzano That's a good point Black Friday is not the day of mayhem it used to be...And 17 is always an adventure. I'll be chilling "down the shore" and watching the game on TV unless a ticket becomes available.
The Pecan Bowl looks so massive that they had half empty stands. Also there’s a great episode of Newhart where Bob goes outside of town & rents a hotel room to watch a blacked out Bears game.
JaguarGator9: cool channel, and I've learned plenty about the inner workings of NFL television scheduling from years ago(I was born in 1984, so most of the videos are from before I was born or was little).
Oh, and I recognize the graphics at 2:23... probably because they're from my hometown Fox affiliate KCPQ(I was born and raised in the Seattle area, and still live in the region; it's also the station I've watched many a Seahawk game on over the years).
In 1992 the season after the Lions made it to the conference championship game, they only got two prime time games, one of which was the regular season finale, which their fans couldn't even get excited about because the Lions entered the game at 5-10.
@@matthewdaley746 The Lions only went 5-11 in 1992.
“A 6-2 error-filled road win for the Cowboys over the Browns Saturday thanks in part to three hits from Craig Morton, and a masterful pitching performance by Chuck Howley at a mud-drenched Cleveland Stadium.”
Scoregami FTW!!!
nice
Cowboys hit a Grand Slam in the 10th inning.
That was only the 2nd time the Cowboys won in Cleveland
Why does that read like something Vin Scully would say?
The Cardinals had a good season while they were in St. Louis? I'm shocked!
They were in first going into December then lost their last 3 to Det, NYG and Wash.
8-5-1 in 1970
The cowboys vs browns game was nationally televised on December 12 1970 frank Gifford was one of the announcers
I once told you about the 1971 Miami Vs Baltimore Colts game that was blacked out in Miami because of the Orange Blossom Classic in Miami, I think it's also because of this rule
The Dec. 11, 1971 Colts-Dolphins game was originally scheduled for Miami, but got switched with the Nov. 21 game in order to allow the Orange Bowl to host the Orange Blossom Classic. Then the Orange Blossom Classic gave the big F U to the Dolphins by not allowing a live broadcast in south Florida.
Where I was living I saw it on NBC Dolphins 🐬 won 17-14
16:45 "Scheduling the Broncos to play in primetime almost every week last season" Well, finishing with a 5-12 record got them 4 primetime games this season... We got some real Einstein's in the NFL scheduling department
@@matthewdaley746 And one of the teams that beat the Broncos last year, the Colts, get zero primetime games
@@user-hs7qf5vv2n Maybe. That could be the reason
There are a good number of Broncos fans sprinkled around the country, but they must be thinking America is still enamored with a washed-up Russell Wilson...whatever.
@Leo Getz I am a Bronco fan ( reluctantly) and I absolutely don't think they deserve ANY primetime games. I'm sure it boils down to their opponents being more attractive to watch . I also think this was due to the Broncos have high expectations placed on them due to the potential of Russ Wilson leading them to the playoffs. Of course with hindsight being 20-20 we saw how that turned out.
@Matt Pizzano Probably cause of Payton this year moreso than Russ. It's conceivable the Broncos may have had as many games as the Arizona McCoys otherwise
I knew the current NFL entity (née 1970) was as dumb as hell about TV, but never knew about this fiasco! Scheduling a game in a window when even the road team's fans can't watch it is some next-level incompetence. This was even worse than putting my Buccaneers in those national windows in '91 because unlike the 2022-23 Broncos having a ton of national spots, that wasn't a hindsight issue. I never got on the NFL for having the 2022-23 Broncos on national TV a lot before the season began due to the expectations put on the team and their popularity, especially in the Mountain West.
The Louisiana High School Athletic Association blacked out Saturday NFL games on New Orleans stations WWL and WDSU on 12/12/1981 and 12/11/1982 because the high school football state championships were taking place at the Superdome. They did not do this for Saturday NFL games after 1982.
They actually stopped it after 1983 because the games on 12/10/83 between the Steelers/Jets (Jets final home game at Shea Stadium and Terry Bradshaw's final game) and Falcons/Dolphins were blacked out in Baton Rouge, which was 75 miles from New Orleans. When viewers called station WAFB to question why Atlanta/Miami was not on, this rule was given as the reason for the blackout on the newscast that night.
The NFL on Black Friday? No! The league is losing money,so they say.Can they really afford to schedule anymore games? College football rules Black Friday!
If you don’t like Black Friday games, don’t watch it or DVR it for Saturday. 😂
You know if this happened today, the nfl would create an 8th day of the week and give it to the cowboys.
I didn’t know that Arkansas State made the 1970 Pecan Bowl. I knew that the (at the time) Indians made the two previous editions and won the 1969 Pecan Bowl.
There are loopholes in the Sports Broadcasting Act. Friday/Saturday games are only banned from the second weekend of September to the second weekend of December; thus why in the last couple of weeks of the NFL season, they have Saturday doubleheaders.
And the reason why they were able to have the Black Friday game is because the SBA also says that as long as a substantial portion of the game is over by 6 pm local time; a Friday game is allowed. That's why the Jets/Dolphins BF game kicked off at 3pm Eastern. I suppose the next time there's a year where Veteran's Day falls on a Friday; the NFL could do a game.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about another scheduling issue involving the Cowboys in 1981.
Or about the following week's insanity where Dallas and Detroit nearly had to flip a coin to decide the 1970 WC had the Giants won. The Giants blasted the Cards 34-13 to tie for first heading into the final week..then lost to LA 31-3.

"Tampa Bay two consecutive weeks."
Uh, what about a certain other team playing twice in a row in London this season?
How is that a disadvantage? They don’t have to travel back… they can just stay… if you’re dumb enough to waste 6 days in 2 weeks traveling any performance loss is on you lmaooooo
It's a pretty open secret in the technical home city of that other team that the owner has been threatening for years to permanently move that team to London. This is why the technical home city kowtows to him each time he demands upgrades to the city-owned stadium and are now looking at blueprints for a new (most-likely domed) stadium on that site. That team owner also has been on a years-long quest to find new ways for his team to lose so as to claim a bigger tax write-off at the end of the year.
6:00 I don't think they put enough chalk down for the yard line markers.... 🙃😉🤣
That's one of the problems with grass fields, such as Cleveland Municipal Stadium had, during rainstorms or shortly thereafter. The chalk has a tendency of wearing out faster.
Sadly.. I would not be surprised if this wasn't an NFL's attempt to get the law overturned. Get the fans in an uproar and take it to their congressmen... Obviously, it didn't work... but it would not surprise me if that wasn't part of the attempt.
When the Cowboys played in Cleveland in 1963 nobody could watch that game either due to the assassination of President Kennedy.
Well, actually it was probably the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald as he was shot on live TV right around noon that Sunday after Kennedy was killed
CTubeMan great fact and the NFL playing that Sunday after the JFK assassination and this event on this fine video from JaquarGator 9 shows that Pete Rozelle made a lot of errors in his tenure as NFL Commissioner.
Thanksgiving weekend Friday and Saturday was always for college and high school football . But thank you for giving us this history . Black Friday was always for college football but as a jets fans I have to see this game
I totally agree man, I probably will watch, but where I am from we have the High school football state championships that day and the day after.
OK what...
High school football is being shown on live TV?
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK??!!?
Sounds normal in Texas
If the Cleveland-Dallas game was played in the afternoon, why would it need to be blacked out? I thought the rule only applied to night games.
I whiffed on the charity name "National Association for Art-Ward Children?" I'm just curious--google turned up nothing.
Also, wow. North Dakota versus Parsons College? Parsons College folded 50 years ago.
R word
Sunday video happy mother's day to all the sports mom
The Cowboys don’t literally play their games in Arlington, Tx they in fact play their home games in Arlington. Also, it is not pea can, pecan is pronounced pe-con.
Don’t be that guy.
Used to live about 30 miles from arlington
I know what's illegal, having this interconference formula happen every four years starting in 2005:
AFC East vs NFC South
AFC North vs NFC North
AFC South vs NFC West
AFC West vs NFC East
They should've made this interconference formula happen every four years starting in 2004 because most of these matchups took place every three years between 1980-2001.
Having this interconference formula happen every four years since 2004:
AFC East vs NFC West
AFC North vs NFC East
AFC South vs NFC North
AFC West vs NFC South
Most of these matchups took place every three years between 1979-2000 but not 1982, however this interconference formula should've been every four years since 2005.
having this interconference formula happen every four years starting in 2003:
AFC East vs NFC East
AFC North vs NFC West
AFC South vs NFC South
AFC West vs NFC North
They should've made this interconference formula happen every four years starting in 2002 because most of these matchups took place every three years between 1978-1999.
having this interconference formula happen every four years starting in 2002:
AFC East vs NFC North
AFC North vs NFC South
AFC South vs NFC East
AFC West vs NFC West
They should've made this interconference formula happen every four years starting in 2003 because most of these matchups took place every three years between 1979-2000 except 1982.
What's more asinine is having regular season games based on previous seasons standings, for example WTF are the Chiefs having anything to do with the Bengals and Jaguars at all? The Chiefs are not playing the AFC North or South divisions in their conference. As a solution the Chiefs should get two games against the Bills and 49ers in 2023.
The 4 year interconference schedule model started in 2002
Was only modified when the 17th game was added
One reason for Kansas City playing against Cincinnati is the fact that both teams were originally in the AFL West. It's an acknowledgement of that. The other reason is that both teams have been in postseason consideration in recent years, including having played against each other in the AFL Playoffs on a regular basis during the last four years.
Does this law even apply to streaming. I could honestly see amazon, apple or google offer money to get be the sole broadcaster of a friday/saturday night
Yes. Even though most of the country will see it through Prime Video, the Miami and New York markets will have local stations buy the rights to broadcast their game because of NFL rules. If the game started later, it could not air in those markets.
Dallas 6 Cleveland 2 in the Cleveland Stadium mud bath was not something anyone really needed to see anyway
The best Dallas/Cleveland baseball moment at TMBTL until nearly 23 years later, when Jose Canseco headed one into the cheap seats. You can find out more about that by clicking the card in the upper right hand corner.
You sure couldn't see the numbers on the teams jerseys
I get that back then this was a problem for football fans, but today with cable, satellite & internet there are thousands of channels that are available to watch whatever team you want to see. Like NFL Sunday Ticket. When a local team is blacked out, you can just tune in to that channel. IDK why this "RULE" is still a thing. Who cares ?!?!
Not everyone can afford "Sunday Ticket", which is a subscription service.
Honestly, Black Friday should be free reign anyway. I don't know about the rest of the country, but up here in Massachusetts the high school season ends with the big rivalry games on Thanksgiving. Then there's the various division championship games a couple of weeks later.
Well, "Chinese-idiot" is about as racist as it gets. jeez
It was 1970.
14:46 What was that name of the charity again?
When I use the closed caption; it came up as “Or were” for some reason.
R-word
@@OfficialJaguarGator9 ...currently known as The Arc of the United States.
JG9 had a difficult choice regarding the charity's name. My preference would have been to find out whether the charity still exists, presumably with a different name, and say something like, "They offered to make a donation to the charity, which is now known as X but at that time used a word which is now considered offensive."
@@drewzuhosky6826 Special education in America has proven so successful that the beneficiaries of this charity are now RUNNING schools.
@@JayTemple I admit when I heard JG9 say it in the video it sounded like were, not word. Since I now know what he had said; I can tell you that yes, the organization still does exist. It has gone through 2 names changes in 1973 and in 1981 with them currently referred to as “the A.R.C. of the United States” then in-fact utilized an euphemism for that word in 1992 (AARP did the same thing in 1998.)
Fun Fact: Presidents JFK and Richard Nixon both supported their cause in the past; however they got into some trouble in 2021 when a Massachusetts Independent State Auditor accused them of misappropriating $777,844 dollars in funding meant for developmentally disabled people.
If the cities of Dallas and Cleveland couldn’t see the game, how do you have highlights of it?
Archived on NFL Network, I assume
NFL films, plus the game was shown everywhere else
@@user-hs7qf5vv2n oh yeah, people don't realize that NFL films started going to every game decades ago. It's funny because they saved all their footage even when a lot of NFL games would get "taped over" following the broadcast simply because the network didn't want to pay extra for more film. The best example is SB 1 where virtually no network footage exists but NFL films has footage of the entire game
It was a national TV game. Everywhere except Cleveland and Dallas got it. Plus, NFL Films had footage from every game
NFLFilms
It was 1991 that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had two nationally televised games late in the season. Not 1990. You even said 1991 in that video.
Lay off lmao
Yep. Error on my part. What happens when you record the script at 3:30 AM and couldn’t catch it before it was too late. I put the change in the description
I feel like the best solution for this is to just move the game to Sunday at 12:00 and say we are cancelling the primetime slot and finding new programming during that time. At least then they could show the game in the local market. But the NFL probably wanted the national TV audience, so they didn't have to comp CBS for moving it back to a Sunday afternoon slot. Really sad when greed gets in the way of fans who want to watch their team when they can.
You didn’t watch the video, did you?
Is that rule still in effect? If it is it should be eliminated
The Blackout rules was voted away by Congress in 1973
@@michaelleroy9281Actually, the blackout rules were adjusted to apply only when a home game within seventy-five miles of the stadium is not sold-out seventy-two hours before the opening kickoff. The earlier version of the blackout rule applied only to the Cleveland area. The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, which was discussed here, however, remains in effect. In this case, it applied to Dallas, despite the fact that the 'Pokes were the visiting team, as the Pecan Bowl in Division II college football was being played in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex at roughly the same time.
