I’m writing from Lima, Peru, where I’ve been over the past week for a happy family event. I was ecstatic when I found that ESPN would be broadcasting the Vikings-Seahawks game yesterday afternoon on the Spanish-speaking channel available on in our hotel cable lineup. I enjoyed hearing about “los Vikings” and “la incompleto pass.” Even “Justin Jefferson” sounded a little funny when accented in Spanish.
I particularly enjoyed the game when the Vikings came from behind to go ahead 27-24 in the closing minutes. Seattle got the ball back with 55 seconds to go. All they needed was a field goal to tie it up and send it to overtime. But at that point the ESPN broadcast cut to a soccer game and never returned to the Vikings-Seahawks game.
You have got to be kidding me. Priorities, I guess.
As I fumed, I vaguely recalled having lived through a similar incident in ancient times. Looking around online, I discovered I was thinking of NBC’s infamous “Heidi game,” as it has come to be known. Do you recall?
