The BIZARRE DRAMA Between CBS and the Dallas Cowboys (1979)

Did you know that an NFL game will typically run three hours? Well, for some inexplicable reason, CBS did not realize this, and in 1979, they paid a pretty hefty price for it. In 1979, CBS decided to air a doubleheader that was so stupid that Dallas Cowboys fans in Wichita Falls, Texas, just outside of Dallas, would be unable to watch their team play against the Minnesota Vikings in the game's entirety. This is the story behind the drama and the controversial scheduling decision on CBS' part OFFICIAL JAGUARGATOR9 MERCHANDISE: https://jg9shop.com/ New listings every week!
