    1971 Kansas City Chiefs (Part 2)

    Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear. EPISODE SUMMARY Before we look back at the Kansas City Chiefs' 1971 season, let’s review the Chief's history, going back to 1960, when they were one of only eight teams in the newly formed American Football League. The Chiefs started their franchise as the Dallas Texans, and in 1962, they won the AFL Championship.  After moving to Kansas City in 1963, the team struggled, posting a 19–19–4 record over the next three seasons. But in 1966 the Chiefs won another AFL title, and in 1969 they won their third AFL title and the Superbowl. The 1971 season didn’t get off to a good start. After taking a 14–0 lead at halftime, the Chiefs' pass defense struggled in the second half, giving up some big plays and allowing three touchdowns. The offense played poorly and the Chargers won 21–14.... You can read the full blog post here.

    1967 Oakland Raiders (AFL Champions) - Part 2

    Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear. EPISODE SUMMARY Before we break down the Oakland Raider's 1967 season, let’s take a quick look at their first seven seasons. Things didn’t look promising in their first three seasons, as the team won only 9 of 42 games.  Things changed quickly in 1963 when Al Davis took over as head coach and general manager. The Raiders finished the season with a 10–4 record, a huge improvement over their 1–13 record in 1962. Unfortunately for Oakland, they were in the same division as the 11–3 SD Chargers, who went on to win the AFL Championship. The team digressed in 1964, finishing with a 5–7–2 record, before bouncing back in 1965 & 1966 with identical 8–5–1 records.  The Raiders made some good moves during the off-season, picking up quarterbacks Daryle Lamonica from the Buffalo Bills, and George Blanda (who was also a top-notch kicker) from the Houston Oilers. They also picked up cornerback Willie Brown from the Denver Broncos and assistant coach John Madden from San Diego State. Additionally, they used their first-round draft pick to get offensive guard Eugene Upshaw from Texas A&M.....  You can read the full blog post here.

    Earnie Shavers: Boxing's Heavy Hitter

    Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear. EPISODE SUMMARY Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes called him the hardest puncher they ever faced, harder than Joe Frazier, George Foreman, and Mike Tyson. Randall Tex Cobb said: “He hit so hard you felt it in your ankles.” The man they were talking about was Earnie Shavers. Once when George Foreman was asked who the hardest punchers he ever faced were, George responded, “Gerry Cooney, Ron Lyle, and Cleveland Williams.” When asked why Earnie Shavers wasn’t on that list, George responded, “I never fought Shavers, thank goodness!” Actor Sylvester Stallone once got a taste of the punching power of Shavers when he invited Shavers to audition for the role of “Clubber” Lang. While Stallone was sparring with Shavers, Earnie, not wanting to hurt him, was hitting Stallone with soft jabs. After a few minutes, Stallone said, “Show me something real Earnie.” So, Shavers let him have it, punching him once near the liver. Stallone later said: “Earnie nearly killed me. I went straight to the men’s room and threw up”..... You can read the full blog post here.
