the Heidi game AFL playoffs 1968 raiders/ jets With about a min. left and the jets leading 32-29 the raiders scored 14 points to win 43-32 only one problem noone who was watching the game on tv which was millions of fans all around the country saw the incredible ending due to NBC cutting away from the game to show Heidi a childrens story!!!!!!!! I remember watching this game with my dad and he was so mad he kept turning the dial back and forth looking for the game the game was gone but Heidi was there dancing and singing at us we kept asking wheres the game? what is this crap on here? where is the game? NBC ran a crawl at the bottom of the screen saying the RAIDERS WON43-32 WE WERE SHOCKED!!!!!! AND MY DAD WAS PISSED I WAS TOO BUT NOT LIKE MY DAD LOL FOOTBALL FANS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY WERE OUTRAGED AND THIS GAME IS THE REASON THE NETWORKS WILL NEVER LEAVE A TELEVISED GAME UNTIL ITS OVER NO MATTER HOW MANY OVERTIMES OR HOW LONG IT MAY GO BUT ON THAT ONE DAY HEIDI WON AND LITTLE GIRLS NATIONWIDE WAS HAPPY LOL CLASSIC BLUNDER LOL

Except for my example, all of the incidents are parochial and therefore cannot be the greatest sporting blunder of all time.
