Long, long ago, there was a time when the Chicago Cubs were bad at baseball, when football games were taped on a videocassette recorder and when you could watch a sporting event and have little idea what the scores of other games were. It seems preposterous now, when we have the Yahoo Sports app and NFL RedZone and any other of a thousand ways to keep you constantly in the loop, but back in 1986, football fans mostly watched the game in their region and didn't change the channel. This was before fantasy sports, so there wasn't much need to check on Al Toon's yardage total.
