Thanks @kettle.whistle.radio for setting up the interview with Paul Dangelo.   

Paul told me about covering the @sundevilfb #frankkush days for the Tempe Daily News.  

He reported for them at the #steelers 4th #Superbowl 1980 win @rosebowlstadium 31-19 over @rams and Vince Ferragamo. Stories of his Dad’s #beer distributorship led to him meeting the @steelers of the 1950’s and 60’s.  

#bobbylayne cursed the @detroitlionsnfl to this day.  

@pittsburghpirates stories of Pop Stargell, Roberto Clemente and the 1960 game 7 game winning home run by Bill Mazeroski.  

Sports trivia at the finish that Paul crushed even naming the entire lineup of the first all Black and Latino lineup in 1971.  

@penguins Sid the kid talk too.  It was a great show.

Today Dan Zolnikov co-founder of the @tb50k joins me on the show.  

“You are hungry, you can eat more.”  What a slogan!  

I mean who wouldn’t want the challenge of eating at 10 of 11 Taco Bells and running a 50k?  Too many #runners finished in 2025 so Dan had to up the ante. 

These are #ultrarunners they know about pain and adversity.  No digestive aids and you have to hold the food down or you get a DQ.  
Less altitude.  More sour cream.  

Hold on to your wrappers.  They are counted at the end for verification!  

Love that their charity partner is @achillesdenverco & @todayshow mentioned the race.  #thelocostrikesback #tb50k #tacobell50k #suffer #running

@thomaswdonovan @abreg_1 got a little #hockeyplayer in him.  
@cc_sabathia congrats on having #52 retired @yankeestadium today.  Booed Cashman.  

@mike_randlerjr & @brandonfurtado2 active participation. 
Brandon dominated #sportstrivia too.  

@arraezluis went down hard after turning his ankle.  @phillies still haven’t clinched @lui_laboyss @phillyjimbo & @kylemont16 but the @whitesox have after three straight 100 loss seasons in a row.  

@ys_munetaka55 had an epic interview in the champagne filled locker room.  

Big games for @partylikearochkind @texasfootball @umichfootball & @oregonfootball tomorrow.  Arch, Bryce and Dante get er done!  

Happy #nationaldaughtersday to those celebrating & always looking for new members with @theclashingconferences please come banter with us.

@ben_rice22 is having a season and @brandonfurtado2 foretold it.  
Citizens always looking for new members @theclashingconferences lot of banter and some great #podcasts too.  

Would you fight a robot?  Saw video on @tiktok the machines always win.  

@atlantafalcons on TNF vs @greenbay1960 @packers could get ugly.  

@realdonaldtrump will be @texasfootball vs @vol_football Saturday.  
@partylikearochkind knows who the true UT is & what a fantastic new stadium and amenities the @texasbaseball has for the next #baseball season.  Only $35M they do everything bigger in Texas!  

#sportstrivia throughout the pod & @supervlad27 got that 14 year $500M from what he’s done up to this point.  Problem is we live in a world where it’s “what have you done for me lately.” 2026 hasn’t been a good one for Vlad Jr or @bluejays after World Series appearance last year.  On to next year IF there is a season.  

Love what @zeke21 posted about lessons learned playing baseball.  We could all learn a lot from it.  

@polarpete20 bringing the @orioles out to thank the fans.  Class act #birdland miss you in Queens Polar Bear.

It’s all about karma #lanekiffin leaving for @lsufootball during a program best season for @olemissfb you came back and lost.  

@brandonfurtado2 @lui_laboyss @phillyjimbo & @kylemont16 next MNF Jalen vs Case Keenum.  

#fantasyfootball #sportstrivia @nyjets had a shot at 2-0 @nygiants may have lost @jaxsondart for the season @yankees no @thejudge44 for at least WC in #mlbplayoffs @uncfootball could have been 3-0 but lost at Death Valley @clemsonfb @uncwomenssoccer #1 for 38th time in program history & sorry but Bryce Underwood isn’t the answer for @umichfootball we all see it and know it deep down.  

Brandon & @rho212 thanks for participating.

Thanks to @bittercupbaseball for coming on the #podcast today.  
Max is an advocate for the 470 @mlb players active before 1980 and aren’t eligible for a pension.  Their stories need to be heard and hopefully the new CBA will benefit them.  

Max told a great stories about Ted Williams @baseballhall & 1983 All Star game at Comiskey Park. 
He’s a level one coach @usatf which led to discussing #rucking and #weightedvests by @kilogear a company he’s an investor in.

@mets are working their butts off and we’re upset about @polarpete20 300th HR @citifield which led to a curtain call.  Blame Stearns for letting him leave for the @orioles and you underperforming another season.  
@yankees please let @thejudge44 be ok.  

@clevelandbrowns fans I feel for you about #deshaunwatson saying they’re expecting 400 yards and 5 TD’s each week. How about 200 and 2 a week?  
Fan bet on @titans winning the SB. Was it you @theclashingconferences @kristykast you can tell me.

@yankees 60th time going to postseason but celebration for a #wildcard berth not worthy IMO.  I get it @brianbarnaby it’s a long season and they celebrate everything.  Still trying to catch the @raysbaseball but have to win all 4 next week @yankeestadium which could happen but it’s a reach.  @camschlittler_ is deserving of the #cyyoung award.  @thejudge44 homered in comeback 8-3 win over @twins last night.  Last time @nyjets & @nygiants started #nfl season 1-0 was 2009 when Yankees won the World Series.  
Glad @archmanning apologized to @sportsiren for laughing at AI video of Sark slapping Rowe.  @partylikearochkind let’s celebrate @texasfootball for beating previous #1 @ohiostatefb 24-23 after being down 23-3 entering the 4th quarter.  Arch stepped up when it mattered.  

Excited to have on @bittercupbaseball Friday to talk about the forgotten @mlb players before 1980 not being pension eligible.  

Please @olemissfb beat @lsufootball Saturday night.  

Love a @uncfootball win @clemsonfb too.  

@rho212 your @ou_football stunk it up again but congrats to @umichfootball getting back in the rankings.  

Kawhi a @raptors yay!  

@thomaswdonovan @nyrangers #nhl season right around the corner.   I think neck protectors should be mandatory for all players.  

@theclashingconferences always looking for new members.

My buddy Milton a @umichfootball season ticket holder came on to talk the @wmu_football game and the one second controversy even though he missed the ending! 
#bryceunderwood the answer at QB?  Not IMO though hell of a pass on the GW Hail Mary TD .  

Huge game at the #bighouse on Saturday vs @ou_football #boomersooner and all that stuff.   

Discussed @umichbball @detroitpistons @cadecunn1ngham @detroitlionsnfl #fantasyfootball & #sportstrivia at the finish.

@umassfootball gets paid $1.55M and beats up @rfootball 37-21 and it wasn’t that close.   Greg Schiano not for long in New Brunswick IMO.  
What is going on with @uncfootball and all these allegations?   #cfb season just started.  

First win by @cubuffsfootball vs @accsports since 1957!  @georgiatechfb terrible clock management per @brandonfurtado2 and I concur.  

@theclashingconferences always looking for new members.  
@umichfootball season starts tomorrow bring it Bryce.  

#lanekiffin #nflplayers aren’t going to help @lsufootball this season. Go @clemsonfb tomorrow night.  

Kawhi your legacy will always be #loadmanagement & how you destroyed the @laclippers for at least the next decade.  

#sportstrivia too.  

@rob.p1156 & @rho212 thanks for participating today.
