The Heidi Game

In 1968, there was a televised football game between the Jets and the Raiders. With just over a minute left in the game, and the Jets up by 3 points, network executives changed the live broadcast to the scheduled airing of Heidi. In that last untelevised minute, the Raiders came back to win the game.

Some things in life end before they should. And unlike the infamous Heidi Game, those outcomes will never be known. It might have been incredible, or not, but in any case, an unexpected end is never a satisfying conclusion. It leaves the fans wondering.
