From CBS, The Dream Season 1990 promos, when just about every major sports event was on CBS. Terrific animation, maybe a bit too Foxy, but still great for the time. First two cuts are affiliate versions, followed by the clean network promo.
On CBS on New Year's Day 1991, Miami throttled Texas 46-3 in a Cotton Bowl marred by rampant penalties and general thuggery. Color analyst Tim Brant sarcastically noted towards the end of the game, "So much for the Dream Season."
the rain-delayed MLB All-Star Game was also boring on the field (little offense), the NFC Title game was a blowout, the NBA Finals were not very competitive.
@Market42Fan lets not forget, the World Series ended in a sweep, and save for 60 minutes, Evening Shade and Murphy Brown, their overall primetime lineup wasn't too strong either. In a way it was the beginning of a nightmare decade for the Tiffany Network that also included losing MLB and the NFL after 1993 along with a lot of their stronger affiliates then a huge slide that wouldn't stop until 98 with the return of the NFL and the debut of Everybody Loves Raymond
@Market42Fan And Pat Summerall ends up out of commission for the remainder of calendar year 1990 after vomiting on a plane after the Redskins-Bears game (a result of his hard-drinking ways caught up to him).
@SpeedyRaven2000 well Fox eventually got most of CBS's biggest properties (NFL,NASCAR/Daytona 500,MLB) so they really didnt have to haha

@professorintellect But Everybody Loves Raymond debuted in 1996, and I think Murder, She Wrote was still popular in 1990.

@tamalie2 Couple of things you forgot:
the rain-delayed MLB All-Star Game was also boring on the field (little offense), the NFC Title game was a blowout, the NBA Finals were not very competitive.

@W61883AAC Also, the Masters that year went to a sudden-death playoff (won by Nick Faldo on the second hole).

Let's see: they lose the NBA and college football (for a time), show precious little MLB action, the NCAA final is a blowout (as is the Super Bowl).
How's that for a dream season?
