Michael Salfino (The Athletic, Topps) and host Thomas Emerick take the 7 train to Shea Stadium as Bill Walsh's upstart Niners bring an early form of the West Coast offense to New York City. Steve DeBerg is starting at quarterback, but his voice amplifier is malfunctioning and Joe Montana will have to step in a bit. Visiting a young Jets team expected to make some noise in the early '80s, are the Niners ready for their close-up?

This is Remember That Game, the podcast about sporting events that take you on a journey and chart the path of the zeitgeist.

I'm your host Thomas Emerick, enjoy the show.
