At the end of the 1979 NFL season, CBS made an incredibly controversial decision in Oklahoma City with their affiliate. Because after Oklahoma City got to watch all 15 of the games involving the Houston Oilers, CBS decided, for some reason, to not air their final regular season game, even though it was against the Philadelphia Eagles for the AFC Central title. Chaos ensued. This is the story behind the controversy.
