The American Football League game played between the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders on November 17, 1968 in Oakland, California. The game owes it's fame to the fact that NBC decided to cut away from the broadcast in order to begin airing the made for tv movie "Heidi" on time.
The game had only 65 seconds left with the Jets leading 32-29 following a field goal. After the Raiders received the kick off, the network went to commercial only to return to the soporific misadventures of Heidi. Outraged viewers flooded the NBC switchboards with complaints, and stunned fans scrambled to their radios to listen as the Raiders completed a wild comeback by scoring 2 times on 3 plays to win the game 43-32. Quarterback Joe Namath and the Jets got their revenge 6 weeks later by beating the Raiders in the AFL Championship Game, and then beating the Baltimore Colts 16-7 in Superbowl III.
The NFL and the networks would later amend their policies to allow games in progress to be seen in their entirety in their home markets.

I can't believe I missed the end of the Heidi Game because of that stupid movie, it wasn't even the original Shirley Temple version.

Get the Heidi Game mug.by Freedakahlo August 8, 2016
Get the Hendell mug.The act of cocking back a hard right hook for just the right moment. Ducking down and bringing it full force into the face of your opponent. Followed by jumping in the air and landing a second right hook directly into their already unconscious head on the ground.
You achieve maximum effectiveness if this is done to a British shit talker and followed by standing and walking away as if it was nothing.

Get the Henderson Hammer mug.The best fucking local band in Appleton, Wisconsin. All the band members are dead sexy (Kdanny Heinritz, Tyler "Cupcake" Wolff & Kyle Jarchow). Their music is nectar from the God's and it also has the ability to make you feel like it's necessary to dance along at their shows. Their biggest fans are Nikki Heinritz & Megan Kimball.
I suggest if you haven't listened to the Helidoctors, look them up on iTunes and download their album, and listen to it and let the music fucking take over. You won't regret it. You'll listen to it today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life.

Get the The Helidoctors mug.A super tall girl who is amazing at pretty much everything. She's super strong and draws really good pictures. She is super funny and makes me laugh all the time, but she doesn't think she's good enough for some reason. She is perfect the way she is and should stay awesome like that forever, because that's what makes her cool.

Get the Heidi Oh mug.Heidrun is a girl name and is the name of a goat in Norse mythology, eating on the roof.
You can also find Heidrun oil-field in the Norwegian Sea. Hence Norwegians use a lot of names from Norse mythology.
There are about 150 Heidrun's in Norway.
Heidrun is also a brand name on plastic storage boxes
Also, the few Heidrun's seen are very beautiful and intelligent. And most likely they have great parents naming after Norse mytholgy.
