Will there ever be a sports lineup that comes close to CBS Dream Season 1990?

Here was their sports lineup in 1990.
Super Bowl
Masters
NBA Playoffs including NBA finals
Daytona 500
MLB Playoffs including World Series
US Open Tennis
NCAA Basketball Tournament

I can't think of any sports lineup by a network that comes close to matching all of the great sporting events CBS had in 1990. Ironically, almost all of the major events ended up being blowouts (Broncos-49ers Super Bowl, UNLV-Duke, US Open Final, World Series) so it didn't really work out as well as they had hoped but you can't knock their ambition.

Big transition year for CBS and it was all downhill after that.
- Lost rights to the NBA to NBC just as the league was blowing up and MJ was about to go off.
- Fired Brent Musburger, who was a network stalwart. He was involved in essentially all facets of CBS Sports.
- I want to say their CFB package shrunk a bit.
- They got MLB at the worst time, and their coverage was loathed by all MLB diehards. MLB was seen as NBC's birthright, and CBS's coverage was seen as sporadic and half assed. Massive failure with lots of money lost.
- By the mid-'90s, all CBS had was NCAA basketball and the Masters.
CBS ruled sports in the '80s, NBC the '90s, and ABC to an extent the early 2000s. Now it's spread around pretty well without one network dominating.

Verne has been a workhorse for CBS over the years.
In 1990 he was the No. 2 NFL announcer and No. 2 NBA announcer for CBS. Throw in his CBB, CFB, Masters, and Olympic experience, and his resume is pretty amazing. And he was even spoofed on Saturday Night Live.

ehhh i'd say its still abc/espn/disney thats dominating. nbc has nothing, fox has some baseball and 50% of nfl, cbs has the other half of nfl and the ncaa tournament, abc has most of college football, a ton of college bball, most of nba, some baseball and monday night football. i don't follow hockey, golf or nascar so I'm not sure where that fits in.

Nbc Sunday night football is usually the highest rated show of the week when it's on.

I guess I hate the FACT that ESPN is trying to take over the tv sports world. I love the NBA on NBC But soprts has changed over the yars and with games everynight it does help some athletes ha ay have never been seen and helped them getto the next level nd I wish MNF was still on ABC and the NBC games of the week was still on Sa afternoon.
