The Football History Dude is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYMost NFL football games played almost 100 years ago, where two teams with losing records opposed against each other would all but be forgotten by our current generation. Especially when no one famous made a debut or set some kind of long-standing record. A game at Chicago’s Comiskey Park on November 9, 1924, where the Chicago Cardinals hosted the Dayton Triangles is one of those games in this forgotten genre. We at the Sports History Network, just like you, our faithful listeners and readers, love the history of athletics no matter what the case. Hey, this is the Headquarters of Sports Yesteryear, after all! We found it to be an interesting game because with having SHN partners who are among the top historians of the Triangles (Bruce Smith) and the Cardinals (Joe Ziemba), along with the talented writing and acting crew of Orville Mulligan: Sportswriter, that we can bring back to life this seemingly lost contest of so long ago. Join us in this presentation of NFL history as Darin Hayes of Pigskin Dispatch hosts experts Bruce, Joe, and the Orville Mulligan ensemble to creatively tell the tale of the Dayton at Chicago game of 1924.Thanks to:Joe Ziemba of Sports History Network’s, “ When Football was Football Podcast”Bruce Smith of Sports History Network’s “ “Triangles: The Life and Times of an NFL Original Team” As well as some of the fine music “Dayton Piano Rag” which was created and performed by Bruce SmithSpecial recognition to our actors from Orville Mulligan: Sportswriter audio drama segments are:FREDDIE CARSON (radio announcer) - Caedmon HollandORVILLE - Doug FyeAlso, the great writing and producing of Mr. Os Davis are evident.

When Football Is Football is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYPerhaps the best recollection, in my humble opinion, was a run that Trippi of the Chicago Cardinals made in the 1947 NFL championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Working on a frozen field at Chicago’s Comiskey Park, the Cardinals switched to gym shoes before the game in an effort to secure better traction on the unforgiving turf.Trippi scored twice that day to lead the Cardinals to a 28-21 victory over the Eagles, but it was his dazzling performance on a punt return that left the Philadelphia defenders in a shambles. How bad was the field you may ask? Reporter Art Daley of the Green Bay Gazette wrote: “They [the players] staggered around like 22 drunken men in a dark alley!”Read the entire episode blog post and check out some other cool info regarding this episode here.WHEN FOOTBALL WAS FOOTBALL BACKGROUNDEach episode takes the listener back to the very early days of the National Football League. Author Joe Ziemba will share a forgotten or lost story from one of the NFL’s two oldest teams: The Bears and the Cardinals. Team championships, individual exploits, or long-buried items of interest from the earliest years of the NFL will be dusted off and resurrected for the listener. Not for the football faint-of-heart since these programs will document when the struggling Bears nearly went out of business or when Cardinals’ players earned $15 a game and were proud of it! It’s NFL history—with a twist!.
