The STUPIDEST BROADCASTING DECISION in NFL on CBS HISTORY


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdBI1daAn_E

Imagine letting fans vote on what game you want your network to air, even though there's a clear-cut winner for what the best game is and what game typically draws the best ratings. However, you don't vet the voting process, and you allow a vocal minority to skew the results heavily against the silent majority, leaving tons of NFL fans disappointed in the process. Well, in week 15 of the 1990 season, KMOV, the CBS affiliate in St. Louis, decided for some reason that this would be a good idea, and the result was an absolute catastrophe. This is the story behind one of the stupidest NFL broadcasting decisions in the history of CBS.
