Remember That Game

Brian Wright (MLB.com, New York Mets All-Time All-Stars, Mets in 10s) joins host Thomas Emerick to resurface this NL East showdown in the 1997 National League Championship Series between the Atlanta Braves and the recently non-existent Florida Marlins. We got Liván Hernández, Greg Maddux, and a big strike zone for left-handed hitters. Hear why this was the most shocking league championship series round to that point, when quantifying via the betting markets for every series since they started playing this round back in 1969 — No. 1 by a mile. In the time since, only 2010 tops it.

Even this year's underdogs heading to the World Series in the Texas Ranger and Arizona Diamondbacks didn't knock off nearly as big of favorites in terms of combined odds, as with Florida toppling Atlanta and Cleveland upsetting Baltimore one riveting week back in '97. And it really starts rolling Sunday in Miami with Game 5.

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.

Tim Miller (The Bulwark, MSNBC) joins host Thomas Emerick to talk about his 2012 Broncos being the hottest team in the league entering the postseason, and but a stop on Joe Flacco's journey to elite status. Despite Jacoby Jones getting behind the defense, for Peyton Manning it's quite the start to a career second act.

Ray Delahanty (CityNerd) joins host Thomas Emerick to discuss Seattle vs. LA, Bo Jackson vs. Brian Bosworth, and how well certain sports venues fit their cities. We also delve into Seattle's long history of identity as a sort of a nice, passive city tucked away in the upper corner of the country that was always in the shadow of Los Angeles. The Seattle Seahawks and LA Raiders capture this on a Monday night in late 1987, and we unpack some of the related urban planning dynamics with those franchises over the years.

RotoViz co-owner and co-host Dave Caban (RotoViz Fantasy Football Show) travels to the turn of the century when Boston sports was in a very different place. Tom Brady went down, Drew Bledsoe went in, and Troy Brown got creative. Charlie Weis was getting receivers matched up against the Steelers star edge rusher. Bill Belichick makes a shrewd bet on Ty Law and Otis Smith. Pittsburgh's defense does keep them in it long enough for Kordell Stewart and Co. (and Amos Zereoue!) to put together an amazingly swift rally setting up a real white-knuckle fourth quarter.

John Gilbert (Field Gulls) recalls with host Thomas Emerick how "We want the ball and we're gonna score" came at the end of a really fun game where Mike Holmgren and Matt Hasselbeck stepped from a cheesehead-sized shadow. Brett Favre and Co. also found themselves in a period of transition in the new century, with the offense routing through Ahman Green for 2,200-plus yards. It's January 2003, Seahawks at Packers.
