The DUMBEST BROADCASTING SCHEDULE DECISION in NFL HISTORY | 1991 Buccaneers

Imagine the worst team in the NFL, and a team that everyone knew was going to be bad, playing back-to-back nationally televised games over the final three weeks of the season that are completely meaningless and have no implication on the playoff picture. Well, for some inexplicable reason that left ESPN and CBS executives frustrated, and left the NFL throwing its hands in the air, that's exactly what happened during the 1991 NFL season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as the 2-11 Bucs became media darlings for some reason. This is the story behind that idiotic decision.
