EPISODE SUMMARY

Jon & George chat with two authors about the life and career of former NFL head coach George Allen. Lee Elder, Author of Coach George Allen "A Football Life" & Mike Richman, Author of George Allen: A Football Life joined the show. Two different perspectives about a great man and phenomenal coach.

THE OFFICIAL PFRA PODCAST BACKGROUND

The Professional Football Researchers Association (PFRA) was founded in Canton, Ohio in 1979 to foster the study of professional football as a significant and athletic institution; to establish an accurate historical account of professional football; and to disseminate research information. In each episode of The Official PFRA Podcast, co-hosts George Bozeka and Jon Bozeka will discuss the storied history of pro football, including interviews with prominent pro football historians and authors, and former players.

Born in Canton within walking distance of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, George is the current President of the PFRA. He has had a number of articles published in the PFRA’s official magazine The Coffin Corner and he is the lead editor for the PFRA’s Great Teams in Pro Football History book series.

Jon has been a radio broadcaster in the Canton area since 2014. He has been involved in every facet of radio sports coverage including play-by-play and color commentary for local high school and college football broadcasts. He is also a stringer for CBS Radio’s Eye on Sports show covering all Cleveland Browns Sunday home games.

Winds of change were brewing in football and across the globe. As the world teetered on the brink of global conflict in 1939, the American Professional Football season roared to life. While the headlines were dominated by the rising tide of fascism in Europe, on the gridiron, rivalries were renewed, legends were born, and the game continued to captivate a nation.

It seems like every year, when the four teams are announced that will faceoff for the biggest prize in college football, there is always one or team teams that feel left out.

This is was no execption as undefeated Florida State and defending National Champion Georgia appeared to be all dressed up with no where to go.

This year the four teams Michigan, Washington, Texas and Alabama are ready to battle it out for all of the marble in the world of college football.

In this episode of Historically Speaking Sports we will go back 32 years to highlight the last time the University of Washington was deemed National Champions dispite the fact they had to split the title with the Miami Hurricanes.

Also this weekend also saw Southern Methodist University claim their first conference title since 1984. Which was just a couple of years before the NCAA imposed the "Death Penalty" on the Mustangs.

To close out the show, we will send a shout out to a little known quarterback that just played five seasons in the NFL because of lingering shoulder injuries. However Hall of Fame Coach Bill Walsh considered him the most naturally gifted passer he had ever seen.

We will tell the story of the short and star-crossed career of the NFL's greatest one shot wonder, former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Greg Cook, the league's greatest "what if".

Muggsy Bogues had to prove doubters wrong at every level of basketball, but more so in the NBA than in either high school or university. After a rough start with the Washington Bullets, he found his stride with the expansion Charlotte Hornets, where he excelled as the league's shortest player ever.
