Sports History Network

The 1937 professional football season was among the most memorable in NFL history. 

1937 was the 18th regular season of the National Football League and was also notable for the increasing popularity of the sport. Game attendance was up, and the NFL was beginning to attract national attention. The season saw some newer concepts, such as specialists or players excelling at one position, a new rival League, and a non-Mid-West franchise winning the NFL Championship Game for the first time.

EPISODE SUMMARY

CHECK OUT THE NFL IN THE 1970S FACEBOOK PAGE

Well, I have refrained from discussing this topic, because I know that it will inspire plenty of debates, but I must give in and talk about it here. It’s probably one of the most common topics for any pro football historian who studies this time period. Who were the greatest quarterbacks in the decade of the 1970s? And among them, who was the best? I know that I am opening a Pandora’s Box of sorts, but it is time that I gird my loins, as it were, and address the issue head-on.

I believe that there were nine truly great quarterbacks in the NFL during the 1970s. I’m going to list them in random order here, then at the end of this podcast, I’m going to make my case for who I feel is the greatest of the ones that I list here. The finalists are, in random order....

EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Sports happenings this week. My unhinged opinion on the Las Vegas Raiders and Congrats to the Texas Rangers.

ABOUT ONE GUY WITH A MIC PRESENTS: HISTORY OF DINGERS AND DUNKS

I am Chad Cain your host of One Guy with a Mic Presents: History of Dingers and Dunks. I am going to be bringing the history of baseball and basketball to life. For every one of you that doesn’t know anything about the history of baseball or basketball, this is your place to learn.

If you know some knowledge about baseball and basketball this is your place to know more. If you have more knowledge than others around you this is your safe space. I can always learn from each and every one of you as well.

The break near the end of each half of an NFL game, at approximately two minutes remaining on the clock, is a much-anticipated time stoppage for teams and fans alike. Appropriately named the 'two-minute warning," this professional football contribution to the gridiron had a somewhat different purpose at its inception.
