LOMBARDI MEMORIES

Lombardi Memories is a show that takes you back in time, into January or February, to the greatest one-day spectacle in all of sports. This is the every-other-Tuesday podcast that looks back at each and every one of the 50-plus Super Bowls and tells the story of who won and why.

For the fan who needs more than just a boxscore, this podcast goes drive-by-drive, play-by-play through the most dramatic games in history. Every two weeks, we will take a deep dive into a Super Bowl from days past, starting at the first and continuing through 55. Relive all the big plays, record-setting performances, and famous follies.

This podcast will give great attention to detail. How did the teams get down the field to be able to score? What were the big defensive plays that prevented scores? And what plays, should they happen differently, would have affected pro football history? This show also has a school theme.

Every episode will start with a pop quiz, where I ask a trivia question related to the Super Bowl. I will also give homework. It’s fun homework, though. I will tell you which books to read that are related to the episode’s Super Bowl. These are books you’ll want to check out at the library or buy on Amazon. So, join me every 2 weeks starting on Tuesday, November 3rd!

Truly the GOATs is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters for Sports' Yesteryear.

“The idol of today pushes the hero of yesterday out of our recollection and will, in turn, be supplanted by his successor of tomorrow.” –Washington Irving

“The Greatest of All-Time”: An expression that has become so ubiquitous in 21st-century sports reportage that it’s often more convenient to use the acronym GOAT. Truly The GOATs takes that expression very seriously, especially the “all-time” part.

From Europe to Asia, from Polynesia to Mesoamerica, humankind has played organized or semi-organized sport for at very least 4,000 years. The games may be straightforward, as in throwing the discus or running the 100-meter dash; they may be symbolic, as in the ball game of the Aztecs and Maya; or they may be utterly abstract, as in cricket or chinlone. 

Truly The GOATs seeks to remember those who enthralled spectators with wondrous feats of athleticism in their day – whether ancient, medieval, modern, or post-modern. We’ll also recall the cultures that produced the games in which truly unique athletes and their sports that may have become moribund, evolved beyond recognition, or simply disappeared altogether.

On Truly the GOATs, we’ll travel through time and space, from the football pitches of South America to the ball courts of Mesoamerica. We’ll see Spain in the 15th century and return for the late 20th. We’ll go from 40 miles per hour in Rome to 375 kph in Germany. We’ll visit Canada and Japan, we’ll barnstorm America, we’ll sail the Atlantic.

And Truly the GOATs hopes you see the commonality within humanity. Whenever and wherever you go, you’re certain to find fascination with the proverbial thrill of victory, the agony of defeat – and tales of the Greatest Of All-Time…

FOOTBALL ATTIC

My name is John Gidley, and as I’m looking on my bookshelf, I see a lot of books about the National Football League.

There’s a book about the 72 Dolphins, one about the 85 Bears, another about the Immaculate Reception. Let’s be honest with ourselves, though: how many times have we heard these stories?

Where are the tales of the men who aren’t as prominent? Stories of the dominant Washington team of 1991, or of the stonewall defense of the 1977 Atlanta Falcons, or of the days when the Philadelphia Eagles wore white helmets? Well, there’s only one place to find those, right here in the Football Attic.

Each week, I’ll tell you about games, players, coaches, and teams who aren’t necessarily forgotten but are not as well-known as they should be. This isn’t just a podcast for those whose memory will be jogged by these retellings.

I’m 22 years old, and I’m an advocate for a greater historical perspective among younger NFL fans. So come join me as I take my weekly trip upstairs into the Football Attic. Just be sure to watch your step!

Follow me on Twitter. I’m always up for talking about football history!

Each week on “Hello, Old Sports” Andrew and Dan Neumann examine a different sports history topic—baseball, basketball, football, hockey, boxing, and anything else that comes to mind. We’ll travel back to 1920 to relive the founding of the Negro Leagues and Babe Ruth’s first season with the New York Yankees.

Or to 1967 to relive the closing drive of the “Ice Bowl” between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe even all the way back to 1884 and the first “World Series” between the Providence Grays of the National League and the New York Metropolitans of the American Association.
