    This week, we discuss: nine straight possessions with a turnover in the Vikings-Cowboys game; famous players from South River, New Jersey; Csonka's two great games and hardly any passing by the Dolphins; the dissing of Charlie Pride; and Don Shula explains the blocking schemes that crushed the Vikings. Quote of the week: "We can see that sideline photographer - droopy mustache, plaid pants, he looks like Doug from New Zoo Revue." Intro-outro music: "Westside Rumble," by Sam Spence.

  4. 09/15/2025

    1973, Week 13

    This week, we discuss the times that many players from a team caught at least one pass; Bobby Bryant's nice career; the Colts' college quarterback defensive backs; Biletnikoff's attitude (again); and who the heck is Paul Staroba? Quote of the week: "Damn those diagonal lines in the end zone, just like Baltimore. They gotta do it in Detroit, too?" Intro-outro music: "To Arms," by William Loose.

  5. 09/05/2025

    1973, Week 12

    This week we discuss Ken Willard's athletic prowess; players who played their final years on unexpected teams; streaks for teams not getting shut out; Fred Biletnikoff's shoulder chip; and Don Shula's end of game brilliance.

    1h 10m

  6. 08/08/2025

    1973, Week 11

    This week we discuss Karl Kassulke Day; the career of Silky Sullivan; player in the HOF who maybe shouldn't be, and those who aren't but should be; stats that don't tell the whole story of some games; and the all time Super Stat Symmetry. Quote of the week: "The dangers in those days for NFL players were not only on the field." And a trigger warning: if the thought of heterosexual men holding hands disturbs you, you may want to skip this episode. Intro-outro music is "Bayou Boogaloo," by William Loose.

  7. 07/27/2025

    1973, Week 10

    This week, we discuss some rare mistakes by Pat; too much punting; coaching matchups with some history; refs mixing it up with players; and a game Ed just can't let go of. Quote of the week: "You've got the super slo-motion going on the loaf-of-breading - that's how you manufacture consent." (a prize for anyone who can explain that!) Intro-outro music: a William Loose song whose title I do not know.
