Episode 293: “Dynasty Established” - Super Bowl XIII (Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Dallas Cowboys)Episode 293 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're concluding our block on some of professional football's best postseason games of all time.In this episode we're discussing Super Bowl XIII between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys.In what was a rematch of Super Bowl X, both the Steelers and Cowboys battled to become the first NFL team to win three Super Bowl titles.In a game which featured Hall of Fame coaches (Chuck Noll and Tom Landry) and dozens of Hall of Fame players on both teams, Super Bowl XIII was the most exciting installment of this game to this point in history.Pittsburgh's offense found success against Dallas' “Doomsday Defense” towards the end of the first half, and quarterback Terry Bradshaw threw three touchdown passes to John Stallworth (2x) and Rocky Bleier to give the Steelers a 21-14 lead at halftime.The Cowboys mounted a great second half drive against “The Steel Curtain” and could've tied the game at 21-21 until tight end Jackie Smith dropped a Roger Staubach pass which forced a field goal.Pittsburgh responded with a huge Franco Harris rushing touchdown, and took advantage of a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. Bradshaw hit Lynn Swann on the first play from scrimmage for a touchdown which put Pittsburgh's lead at 35-17.To the Cowboys' credit, they responded in the fourth quarter and made the game 35-31 late. Sadly for Dallas, they ran out of time, and Pittsburgh became the first team to win three Super Bowls.Terry Bradshaw won Super Bowl MVP in the only game of his career where he threw for 300+ passing yards. Moreover, the Steelers established themselves as the NFL's: “Team of the 70s.”Connect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: @cquinncomedyDominic DiTolla: @ditolladominicProducer: @ty_englestudioInstagram: @thesportsexperiencepodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please help support us @:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast #pittsburghsteelers#dallascowboys#cowboys#nfl#superbowl#nflplayoffs

Post-Gazette spots columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. How will the Steelers' 1970s dynasty -- featuring legendary names like Mean Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Terry Bradshaw and Franco Harris -- compare to what Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs have done this decade if the Chiefs are able to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl? And how can we expect the game to play out? Will Mahomes' greatness win out again? Or could Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles find the magic to take him down? Later, Paul tackles some other hot Steelers topics. How excited should fans be for the 2025 game in Dublin, Ireland? Was T.J. Watt snubbed in DPOY voting, with the Broncos' Patrick Surtain II taking the honors? And how do the Pro Football Hall of Fame resumes of Hines Ward and James Harrison compare to those of 2025 inductees like Sterling Sharpe and Jared Allen?

Which backfield would you rather have: Franco Harris and Saquon Barkley or Tony Dorsett and LeSean McCoy? Ramon Foster said on the Footbahlin podcast when he was hurt or out of the game, he didn't want his backup to crush it and prove Foster's value. Were we too hard on Ben Roethlisberger when he was mad about the Steelers selecting Mason Rudolph?

The Steelers and Raiders were two of the great teams in the NFL in the 70's... but in January of '75, neither had asserted their dominance just yet. That was about to change. Pittsburgh was heading to Oakland a week after the Silver and Black had dethroned the two-time Super Bowl Champion, Miami Dolphins in a classic game known as "The Sea of Hands". Now John Madden's team had to take on a Steelers team that was about to come into it's own... and they started that with a dominant performance against Oakland. The Raiders were used to being the ones who were punching their opponents in the face, but not this time. It was a tough loss for Oakland and for Pro Bowl linebacker Phil Villapiano. A man of many words couldn't explain what happened to his team that day 50 years ago and still has a tough time putting into words what took place that Sunday so long ago. Starting with the Immaculate Reception in '72, Villapiano and the Steelers had a history of meeting up when it mattered most with the winner often headed to play in the Super Bowl. That was the case in January of '75 and Villapiano tells us what it was like to go up against those incredible Pittsburgh teams... how his friendship with Franco Harris started with their parents and lasted over 50 years until Franco's death in 2022... what it was like to play for John Madden... and go drinking with John Matuszak. And he talks about finally getting over the hump, and winning it all in Super Bowl XI. Villapiano is a master talker and storyteller who epitomizes what the NFL was like in the 70's... tough, sassy, outrageous and fun... Football at its absolute best and Phil V was right in the middle of it... like always.

We re-run an interview with Franco Harris from a weeks before his passing. Then, we send Foalsie off after this final segment on the show. 

We hear the interview that Ron did with Franco Harris about over a year ago today. This was one of Franco's last media appearances before his passing exactly one year ago today.  

It's the beginning of Foalsie's final day on the show. Then, we talk about the one year anniversary of Franco Harris's passing and then get into the Steelers current mess with George Pickens. 

A good game — whether it's a pro football playoff, or a family showdown on the kitchen table — can make you feel, at least for a little while, like your whole life hangs in the balance. This hour of Radiolab, Jad and Robert wonder why we get so invested in something so trivial. What is it about games that make them feel so pivotal? We hear how a recurring dream about football turned into a real-life lesson for Stephen Dubner, we watch a chessboard turn into a playground where by-the-book moves give way to totally unpredictable possibilities, and we talk to Dan Engber, a one time senior editor at Slate, now at The Atlantic, and a bunch of scientists about why betting on a longshot is so much fun. And finally, we talk to Malcolm Gladwell about why he loves the overdog. CITATIONS: Videos -  The Immaculate Reception (https://zpr.io/izhV3Sm88SWF) by Franco Harris on December 23, 1972.
