Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARY“_______ (fill in the blank) should be in the Hall of Fame” It’s a phrase I’ve heard more times than I care to remember. It seems just about everyone has an opinion on who’s worthy of having their bust placed in the hallowed Hall. If the HOF committee took all of these opinions seriously, half the players who ever stepped on the field would be in Canton.But issues facing

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYThe 1972 summer games are the first Olympic games I can remember watching. The 1972 games were in Munich, West Germany. The last Olympics to be held in Germany were in 1936 in Berlin. Those Olympics had a dark cloud hanging over them as Adolph Hitler and his Nazis were about to start the Second World War. Things would be different this time........You can read the full blog

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYMy apologies to all you Minnesota Viking fans out there, but I’m going to use the 1975 Vikings team as an example of a really good team that had an easy schedule. Some say this was the Vikings best team ever. After ten games their record stood at 10-0. Some were beginning to compare them to the 72 Dolphins. Could this team go undefeated? It was starting to look like a good

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYLast weekI wrote an article comparing the 1972 and 1973 Miami Dolphins. I concluded that the 1973 team was even better than the undefeated 1972 team. But in drawing that conclusion, I was in no way trying to diminish the accomplishments of the 1972 team. After all, it’s the only undefeated team in NFL history.But when Imade my comparison, I didn’t make it solely for a

But the big story that year was something else: Miami was the first–and is still the only–team in NFL history to go undefeated.With such a history-making season, you can

Call me old-fashioned, but I miss the days when offenses would pound away at defenses with a solid running game.I suppose some people see that as boring. They call it ‘Three Yards and a Cloud of Dust.” But in my opinion,today’sgame is boring: pass after pass after pass…penalty after penalty after penalty.HowImiss 1970s football! It was

I think the committee did an admirable job overall, and I agreed with roughly 80% of the selections. But for the sake of debate, here are my offensive picks.CENTERSI’m going to select five instead of four. I’m going with Jim Langer instead of Dwight Stephenson. Langer

It’s Lee Roy Selmon. He was undoubtedly a great player, and I believe his place in Canton is warranted. But he had a relatively short career–only nine seasons. Others were just as good–many better–and they played longer. In his place, I’ve chosen Andy Robustelli 1951–1964. He was named All-NFL seven times
