      ABOUT THE FANTASY FOOTBALL DUDES:

      ***Please note, this is from the FFD website***

      When you think of dudes, don’t think of the guy(s) who change their roster while using the John. These guys eat, sleep, and urinate fantasy. They won’t keep you guessing; they’ll keep you winning all season long whether you’re the new guy or the old salty veteran. The dudes do what they do for you and for ourselves. We want you to win, but more importantly, we want to win ourselves. Not your creepy uncle's fantasy show, more like your cool stepdads.

      ABOUT FOOTBALL IS FAMILY

      Do you bleed your favorite football team’s colors each weekend? Does the difference of a W or L in the box score dictate how you respond for the rest of the week? Or do most of your conversations with your family and friends revolve around your favorite football team?

      If you answered yes to any (or maybe all) of these questions, then you are in the right place. The host of this podcast truly believes that “Football Is Family” and he is on a mission to share the stories of other fans out there sharing how they have been touched by the greatest sport on Earth. Listen below to the trailer and learn more about the host and show.

      HOST - JEREMY MCFARLIN

      Growing up in Middle Tennessee, I didn’t have a pro football team that was close enough to me to feel a part of. My first memory of pro football was Super Bowl 22. I picked the Broncos to win, and, even though they didn’t win, I followed them from that point on.

      John Elway was (and is) my favorite player. I have played as the Broncos on Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl, Madden, and 2K Sports. I fondly remember the moments when the Broncos won Super Bowls 32 and 33.

      Around this time, the Oilers came to Tennessee. I was hooked. I finally had a team just down the road from my hometown of Bon Aqua. Oiler (and later Titans) mania hit this area. Jerseys, hats, footballs, merchandise, and several autographs later, I’m a Titans fan through and through.

      It’s the dedication, the love, and the passion for football that helps me realize that football is family. Each fan base has a story, a history, and a love for their team. That’s what I want to talk about each and every podcast.

    • Episode 167 - Larry Fleisher

      Larry Fleisher was never a player or coach, but is still a member of the Hall of Fame. He served as the legal counsel to the NBA Players Association and helped with the legal structure in forming the union in the first place. He also represented the players when they sued the NBA for free agency and in the merger between the NBA and the ABA. He negotiated the creation of the team salary cap, and his impact on the finances of the NBA and its players cannot be overstated. He is a huge part of why the NBA is the premier basketball league in the world.

    • Cleveland Browns Dynasty (1946 thru 1973)

      Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.

      EPISODE SUMMARY

      Most modern-day NFL football fans are familiar with the dynasty of the New England Patriots from 2001 to 2018. The Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s, the SF 49ers of the 1980s, and the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s. They might even be familiar with the Green Bay Packers of the 1960s. But only the genuinely hard-core football historian knows how good the Cleveland Browns were from 1946 to 1973. If not for one bad season in 1956, the Browns would have gone 27 years without a losing season. The Dallas Cowboys hold the record with twenty in a row.

      The Browns franchise dates back to 1946, when they played in the All-American Football Conference. During their four years of play in that league, they won 52 games, lost only four, and tied three times. In 1948, they had a perfect season, going 15–0!.......
