In this episode we are getting you ready for Week 4 of the NFL regular season by looking back at four games that are rematches from famous games from years past to evoke good memories for some while for others, not so much.

This week we will begin with a game that a lot of people including myself, consider as the most important game in the history of the New Orleans Saints.

Not only it was significant for the team, but after certain events that happened to the city of New Orleans, it was so important for that city.

And of course against of all teams, the Atlanta Falcons.

Speaking of important games, there was another game on another Monday night, that put another southern city on the map thanks to a Heisman trophy rookie running back that still remains as a lone star legend and also introduced a very colorful era for an NFL franchise.

Finally a pair of frigid playoffs games.

One of them features a famous play call that became the bane of that city's existence now for close to 50 years.

Then another post season game, an NFC championship game that not only saw a traditional loser reach the promise land but also closed the door on one of the NFL’s most infamous stadiums.

In this week’s brief NFL episode, we have three games from back in the day that are rematches in this weeks slate of games in the National Football League.

Moving chronologically, we have a game from the sixties that features a team that is off to a quick start here in the 2024 season. The game we will highlight was this teams first ever win in franchise history that took place in one of football’s most famous stadiums.

The game from the 70s features a pair of teams that have started 2-0 on this young season. Yet back in 1973 when these two teams faced each other, both teams were going in total opposite directions.

This game, which was a total blowout marked the end of a career for one Hall of Fame quarterback who was replaced by another signal caller that would end up in Canton who sparked a comeback that fell short.

And finally in the game from the 1980’s, we have two long time NFC rivals meeting in the playoffs for the first time ever and in a conference championship game no less.

Welcome back to another episode of the Historical NFL Matchup for Week 2 of the 2025 NFL seasons.

In this short podcast episode, we will take a look at three memorable postseason games from NFL history that are part of the NFL schedule for week two.

One of the games that we will focus on is a recent super bowl that is considered one of the greatest games in Super Bowl history that featured a controversial coaching decision and one of the biggest defensive plays ever.

Also we will look at one of biggest post season upsets during the decade of the 1980s and rounding out the show will be the first ever post season game for a team that over the years would make a lot post season appearances and made a star of a little known linebacker from Louisville.

All of that on the week two edition of the Historical NFL Matchups here on the Sports History Network.

Another eagerly awaited NFL season is upon us and it seems like everyone has an opinion on who will end up in New Orleans in February competing for the Lombardi Trophy. Professional pro football analysts all the way down to your neighbor has an opinion on who will be this years Super Bowl Champion.

This practice has gone on seemingly since the beginning of the modern NFL. Everyone has an opinion including myself.

In this episode, we will take a look back at some predictions that were made by analysts on who would end up in the Super Bowl going back some 40 years.

We will go through some magazines and online articles on who were teams that were supposed to be in a particular Super Bowl and fell short while others surprised the so called experts in one way or another.

Later in the show, I will reveal my predictions for the upcoming NFL season. Who knows, maybe my own predictions will be featured on someone's future podcast.

On June 24, 1946, a bus carrying the Spokane Indians high in the Cascade Mountains in Washington, crashed to the bottom of a ravine, killing nine of its players.

In this episode of the podcast, host Dana Auguster talks with Eric Vickrey about his book "Season of Shattered Dreams: Postwar Baseball, the Spokane Indians and A Tragic Bus Crash That Changed Everything." He discusses what inspired him to write this book, the events leading up to the tragic events of that day nearly one year after the end of World War II and the days and months after the accident and how the city of Spokane Washington dealt with the tragedy.

Later in the show, Dana will send a shout out to the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates who is marking its 45th anniversary of winning the World Series.

The Pirates were led by Hall of Fame first baseman Willie Stargell outfielder Dave Parker, known as "The Cobra" and reliever Kent Tekulve. That season the Bucs were not only powered by those key contributors but by a disco classic that made the Pirates into a pop culture phenomenon.

Paris. The City of Light.

Paris. The City of Love and the capital of fashion.

Also Paris is the city of Olympic dreams this summer. Over the last two weeks the eyes of the sporting world have been fixated on the city along the river Seine and everyone for the most part have been entranced with the competition and the spectacle that we know as the summer Olympics.

In this edition of the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast host Dana Auguster looks back at the two previous Olympics to take place in Paris. The second summer Olympics in 1900 and the Eighth Summer Olympiad in the summer of 1924.

Over the years, along with fierce competition and brotherhood through athletics, the Olympics have also been known for controversy - both on and off the field of play. Later in the episode we take a dive into some of the more controversial moments in the games that include, the Ben Johnson doping scandal during the 1988 games in Seoul, the Black Power salute during the 1968 games and one of the earliest Olympic scandals which took place during the games of 1912.

Finally we will send a shout out to British runner Derek Redmond who was ultimately disqualified in his semifinal 400 meter race made him just as famous and as identifiable as the US dream team in those Olympics.
