The infamous "Heidi" game occurred.......

On Nov. 17, 1968, NBC television network outraged football fans by cutting away from the closing minutes of the New York Jets/Oakland Raiders game to begin a special presentation of "Heidi" on schedule. Home viewers were prevented from seeing the Raiders come from behind to beat the Jets 43-32.

Richard Nixon was quoted as saying, " People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook."
