Imagine the power going out during an NFL game, where the scoreboard doesn't work, the whole stadium doesn't work, and no one is able to watch the game as a result. Well, that's what happened during week 10 of the 1989 NFL season between the New Orleans Saints and the New England Patriots

I was at the Bills Chargers power out game. While not my favorite game I have ever attended, it definitely had the best flow to a game. No commercials, no scoreboad, and the Bills Shout was sung by the crowd with no help by speakers scattered throughout the stadium. It was unique, and I was glad to be there.

I lived in Maine at the time and I don't remember this! Of course I was probably watching the Washington game at the time if I was watching anything.

This is very similar to what happened 8 years later in the Premier League in a game between West Ham & Crystal Palace. Frank Lampard had just tied the match at 2-2 in the 70th minute when the lights suddenly went out at Upton Park & didn't come back on, resulting in the match being abandoned. Then two weeks later in the Wimbledon-Arsenal match at around the same time with Arsenal leading 1-0, the lights went out resulting in another abandoned match. It should be pointed out that unlike the Saints-Patriots power outage, weather conditions did not cause the lights to go out in both games. Instead it was later found out that a Southeast Asian based betting syndicate had bribed stadium staff at both matches to turn off the lights so that the syndicate could get the maximum payout from the scoreline of each match. The syndicate was about to do this for a third time at the Charlton-Liverpool match but the police caught them in the act. Everyone involved in the operation got prison sentences ranging from 18 months to 4 years along with heavy fines. This is so far the only time that the outcomes of Premier League matches have been directly affected by betting, though with how prevalent sports betting is today in this country, acts like this are something that leagues like the NFL definitely need to keep an eye on.

I don't recall this but at the time, we were losing power at lot as Mass Electric was not doing too well when we had big weather events. I was on Cape Cod for Hurricane Bob in 1991 and we didn't get power back for a week. Also, the perfect storm was that year too. All games that season were pretty much on radio, as blackout (irony) rules applied.

The irony of your comment is about how the NFL obviously blacked out the black uniformed Raiders in the AFC championship 10 years later with the Tuck Rule for Tom Brady and the Pats I'm a DC area guy who graduated a Massachusetts boarding high school in 1991 and took their senior trip to Cape Cod there with their class

Fortunately the company I worked for does not use CrowdStrike. They use a different security monitoring software. So we had no issues getting work done yesterday. As for outages at sporting events. I remember one time going to a Minnesota Twins game at the old Metrodome when one bank of lights went out in the outfield. The continued playing the game since the impact was minimal.

The only way that CrowdStrike fiasco affected me is that I wouldn't have had access to my USF Bulls football season ticket account at the time. As for the game covered here, I definitely don't remember hearing about it back then. I forgot the sun sets that early in the Northeast that time of the year, so I can understand why the game couldn't be delayed for too long. People in the Greater Boston DMA and Rhode Island wouldn't have gotten to watch the game on TV in any event, though.

I thought that I personally wasn't affected by it but than I walked into the office where I pickup loads and told that they have to shuffle things around because of crowdstrike and other parts of the trucking company was in chaos as drivers couldn't get new loads or call in. I think overall I was lucky as it didn't change too much but cost me 500 dollars for load being canceled because of it. But some drivers asked me if I thought the company went bankrupt as they couldn't reach anyone. It was a weird day

I went to the Pats-Colts game in 92, can confirm Sullivan stadium's cold metal bleachers and troughs to pee in as a kid were not a comfortable time. We left early too and figures the Pats won in OT. Their 2nd win but last of the season, going 2-14 😨

The power went out during Super Bowl XLVII and it effected the Ravens momentum. At the time of the power outage the Ravens were up 28-6 after the power came back on the 49ers outscored the Ravens 25-6 and fell just short of a remarkable comeback.

@raytaylor6412 Ай бұрын

Sullivan Stadium opened in 1971 at a cost of 6 million dollars (cheap, even by 1971 standards). Combine that with the Sullivans, and later, Victor Kiam, cutting corners wherever they could, these situations seemed to be a common occurance.

If the patriots’ fans thought nothing was worse for their team to lose out of the playoffs in 1989, then they would hope it would be better in 1990,which, unfortunately got more badder in frustration! 😮😮😮😮😮

Growing up in Saints country, and without cable (no ESPN), the local news on Sunday night was basically the main source for football information. 4th Down on Four, the football show that would run after the 10 P.M. news on WWL (the CBS affiliate in New Orleans) during the season, papered over the missing footage that night. The focus was on all the turnovers the Saints forced after the team had folded up so spectacularly against the 49ers the previous Monday night. Speaking of the Broncos walking off in Kansas City at the same time; David Treadwell's game-winner actually left one second on the clock. This required a squib kick to kill that final tick. However, I'm wondering if Marty Schottenheimer's clock management at the end of that game deserves a Dumb Decisions episode. In a tie game, John Elway drove the Broncos inside the Chiefs' 10 and with the clock running, Marty decides not to call any timeouts. This allowed Denver to run it down to 4 seconds and kick it. Granted that if those timeouts had been called, John probably would have just knelt down twice and then ran the clock down anyway. But it's hard for me, even as a Broncos fan, not to wonder why Marty thought it was more important to head into the locker room with those two timeouts in his pocket to go with the season-crippling loss. Oh well, chalk it up to another time that he got 'Elway'ed.'

Those were the dark days in Patriots history. Unlike his statement in his Remington shaver commercials where he liked the product so much, he bought the company, his days as Pats owner was a total opposite of that. And to think the team was bad in 1989, 1990 was much, much worse.

Power outages in New England came hand in hand especially in the late 1980's. I know this is an NFL channel but there was the infamous power outage at the Boston Garden during Game Four of the 1988 Stanley Cup Finals between the Edmonton Oilers and the Boston Bruins with the Oilers up 3-0. It's the third period and the game is tied when the power goes out. NHL President (they didn't have a Commissioner yet) John Ziegler came to a confusion conclusion that eventually never came to fruition. I think (without having to resort to other KZbin videos) that if the series is tied at 3 games apiece, this game would resume from the moment the power went out. In the end, the Oilers won the next game back in Edmonton and won their fourth Stanley Cup (and final Cup for Wayne Gretzky). So I always jokingly say the Oilers won the Stanley Cup over Boston 4 1/2 games over 1/2 game.

I am in disbelieve Steve Grogan was still on the Pats at this time but I fact checked and unbelievably this is correct. he will undoubtedly hold the modern record forever for a QB with the same team for the most consecutive years. before I hit send... I looked up Tom Brady... and somehow... Grogan wasn't even close to the team record. much less the NFL record.

I won't name the _specific_ company I work for, for obvious reasons, but they had a bad tech outage where from what I can tell they got hit with a ransomware attack but was in a situation where, yeah, if they paid the ransom it would kill their credibility to all the companies they served, so the only thing to do was to rebuild their database from scratch. I wonder if that's why they didn't get affected by this? My sister did, though, it screwed up her work computer something fierce and she's been Zoom'ing into work on her phone as a result. (Again, quite familiar, I was on my tablet for a week when the problem happened to my company.) And I had it explained to me what Crowd Strike's update did and... dear Lord. Yeah, when you make a driver tell the computer to go look in memory that they can't access, Windows falls on its sword immediately. I think whatever QA person let that go live might have killed that _company._ The exaggeration is extremely slight.
