Matt Spiegel and Mark Grote reacted to a clip from WBBM reporter Josh Liss' feature on the life of Bears founder George Halas that helps explain how the organization got to its current state of affairs.

George Allen is one of the NFL's legendary coaches. So, to call him a "forgotten hero" is not exactly accurate. Certainly, most avid football fans know about his colorful career as the head coach of the Washington Redskins, and some might even remember him as the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams. But few know the "behind-the-scenes" story of George Allen and his journey to becoming the legend he was. The fact that he actually offered to pay University of Michigan coach Fritz Crisler for the opportunity to coach. Or, his falling out with Chicago Bears owner/head coach George Halas. Few know that George Allen actually traded the same draft pick to two different teams or that he was a good friend of three different U.S. Presidents. His paranoia when it came to the press or his disdain for seeing trash littered about the practice facility. Allen might actually be the "father" of film study. No one studied it like George Allen. And his attention to Special Teams was way ahead of his time. Allen knew more about the opponent than the opponent knew about themselves. He was an incredible strategist, and his knowledge of the game was the proverbial second to none. If there was a weakness in Allen's method of coaching, most would point to his reliance on veteran players and his reluctance to play rookies or younger players. When you examine the career of George Allen, and you see his incredible winning percentage during the regular season vs. his 2-7 record in the playoffs, you scratch your head and wonder why. Well, it might just have been that reliance on veteran players. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, I get into all of that with my guest, Mike Richman. Mike is somewhat of an expert when it comes to the Washington Redskins (now the Commanders), and his latest book, "George Allen: A Football Life," is absolutely fantastic, and we discuss a lot of it here on Sports' Forgotten Heroes.The examination of George Allen's coaching career reveals a man driven by a profound love for football and an unwavering commitment to winning. The podcast captures the essence of Allen's coaching philosophy, which revolved around discipline, strategy, and a deep understanding of the game. His relationships with players were complex, characterized by both admiration and criticism, particularly regarding his intense coaching style and strict policies. The episode further delves into the intricacies of Allen's time with the Rams, detailing how his innovative defensive schemes and emphasis on special teams were revolutionary for the era, yet how these same traits sometimes alienated him from those he coached. Richmond articulates the paradox of Allen's career: a coach who never experienced a losing season yet struggled to translate regular-season success into playoff victories. The discussion invites listeners to consider the broader implications of Allen's story, exploring themes of ambition, legacy, and the quest for greatness against the backdrop of a fiercely competitive sport.George Allen's legacy in professional football is a tapestry woven with threads of brilliance, controversy, and resilience. The podcast offers a detailed narrative of his rise from a young, ambitious coach to a figure synonymous with NFL coaching excellence. Listeners are taken through pivotal moments in Allen's life, including his unconventional methods of securing coaching positions—such as offering to pay for opportunities—demonstrating his relentless drive and creativity. The conversation also addresses the challenges Allen faced, including friction with players and management, which ultimately shaped his career trajectory. Special attention is given to his time with the Los Angeles Rams and Washington Redskins, where he employed a fierce competitive spirit that led to impressive regular-season records but often resulted in playoff disappointments. The episode serves as a reminder of Allen's significant contributions to the game, while

In this episode of Sports the NEMO way we bring the best NFL coaches of all time to the table for discussion.

Kevin's Part 2 of his interview with Skins' historian and author Mike Richman about his new book, "George Allen: A Football Life". Mike shares stories from the book about the life and accomplishments of one of the most successful NFL coaches of all time and one of the greatest innovators in the game. Allen brought winning football to DC in 1971 and his success resulted in one of the most passionate fan bases in the NFL for decades. The stories of Allen's early life which included an unannounced visit to Albert Einstein's house are priceless. Allen's football coaching career in the NFL started with George Halas in Chicago where he was instrumental in leading the Bears to a 1963 NFL title. His Los Angeles Rams teams in the late 60's are some of the most memorable teams in NFL history. And then he came to Washington where he created an immediate winner.

10-31-2023 Passed Ball Show. John spends this program talking about the New York football Giants and how they could possibly put themselves in a position to have a quarterback playing in the NFL that they could not trust to throw a forward pass. John blames the team's loss on Tommy DiVito and the fact that he was not capable of performing the duties of a NFL quarterback. John wonders out loud why Collin Kaepernick was not in the game, knowing very well that he was blackballed by collusion of the 32 NFL owners. John then talks about Buck Showalter and why even though he would love to see him manage in the major leagues again, it would be better if he did not get the Los Angeles Angels manager job. During today's #savingsportshistory segment, John talks about the significance of Earl Lloyd, some past Cy Young Award winners, Venus Williams, Pete Henry, Cal Hubbard, Wilbur Shaw, Nick Saban, Fred McGriff, George Halas, Willie McCovey, and John McVay.

40 years ago on Halloween, the great George Halas passed away.

It took nearly a month, but Bill Belichick finally earned his 300th career regular-season win. The Patriots coach picked up his 299th win back on Sept. 24 and after watching his team lose three straight games, Belichick got his 300th win on Sunday in shocking fashion with a 29-25 upset win over the Bills. The 70-year-old is now the third coach in NFL history to reach the 300-win mark, joining Don Shula and George Halas.  The only thing more shocking than New England's win was the way Detroit lost. The Lions' game against the Ravens was supposed to be a showdown of two of the top teams in the NFL, but instead, it turned into a beatdown with the Ravens winning 38-6.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ibnetwork/message

Dallas Cowboys Give Bill Belichicks' Patriots the WORST Loss of his Career — Dak Prescott is getting used to sitting back and watching the Dallas defense do its thing. DaRon Bland returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown, Leighton Vander Esch scooped up a fumble for a score and the Cowboys blew out the New England Patriots 38-3 on Sunday. Mac Jones was responsible for all three turnovers and was pulled in the second half of the worst loss in Bill Belichick's 29 seasons as a head coach, 24 of them in New England. The six-time Super Bowl winner will have to wait at least another week to join George Halas and Don Shula as the only NFL coaches with 300 career regular-season victories. Bland had his second pick-6 of the season after getting one in a season-opening rout of the New York Giants, when Dallas also returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in a 40-0 win. “Just to sit back and watch the defense do that, it's awesome,” said Prescott, who had a touchdown pass before the defense took over. “I'd love to get out there and throw it over and over and be back and forth. But, I sit back and cross my legs and wait another five, six minutes. If they want to score, keep doing it.” The Cowboys (3-1) spoiled former star running back Ezekiel Elliott's Dallas homecoming with their 10th consecutive home victory. It's the longest home streak since 1991-92, or almost two decades before AT&T Stadium opened. The Patriots (1-3) trailed by just seven early in the second quarter when Jones was sacked from behind by Dante Fowler, leading to the easy 11-yard scoop-and-score from Vander Esch. In the final seconds of the first half, Jones tried to throw across the field to Kendrick Bourne when Bland stepped in front and ran 54 yards untouched for a 28-3 Dallas lead. “He got an early one across the field so I couldn't let him do that again,” said Bland, who led the Cowboys with five interceptions as a rookie last season and has eight in 21 games. “I saw open field as soon as I got the ball and I was like, ‘Nobody is catching me from here.'” New England's previous biggest halftime deficit under Belichick was 24 points twice, including a 47-17 wild-card loss to Buffalo two seasons ago. In the famous rally from 28-3 down to beat Atlanta in Super Bowl 51, the Patriots trailed 21-3 at the break. via  @espn  Social: Twitch-http://twitch.tv/GmiasWorld Facebook-http://www.facebook.com/GmiasWorld Twitter-https://www.twitter.com/GmiasWorld Donate:https://streamlabs.com/gmiasworld Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/GmiasWorld GmiasWorld Merch: https://gmiasworld.myspreadshop.com Background Music (Exclusive) by @ZaneAlexanderNC #nfl #gmiasworld

5-27-2023 Passed Ball Show. John talks about Aaron Boone getting thrown out of baseball games and wonders if he is overdoing it because the MLB manager has such limited responsibility in regards to impacting the game. John believes a digital strikezone in some form (perhaps through instant replay) is coming to MLB soon. John hopes the corrected ball/strike calls can be as instantaneously put into play as we see with our own eyes through the MLB.com app. John shares his excitement over the fact that catcher's cheating (he means “framing”) will become a thing of the past once a digital strikezone (replay or otherwise) is implemented. John then talks about the once 3-0 series deficit the Boston Celtics faced and why it seems like they can pull it off with a game six (6) victory in Miami against the Heat. John believes whomever wins Game 6 will win the series and if Boston takes this game, they will not only win Game 7 in Boston, but sweep the NBA Finals against the Denver Nuggets. John then speaks of a similar possibility happening in Dallas, as a Game Five (5) victory in Las Vegas, as a win sets them up for the return of their suspended Captain Jamie Benn with the potential game being played on the Stars home ice. During today's #savingsportshistory segment, John talks about Dan McGann, Carl Hubbell, George Halas, the Indy 500, Sam Snead, Walt Kiesling, Jackie Slater, Frank Thomas, Frant Grant, Ezzard Charles, Maurice Richard, Bill Buckner, and Craig “Iron Head” Heyward.

Five years in and the young NFL was a success – if the goal of every team was to lose money. For rivals Joe Carr and George Halas, they had to unite to survive.

Lombardi, Belichick, Landry, Shula – only a handful of names so completely evoke the heart and soul of a team. But before them all, there was George Halas, the player, coach and owner of the team he would name the Chicago Bears. Halas' passion for football and his desire to win went beyond obsession, ignited a rivalry with the like-minded Curly Lambeau and his newly formed Packers, and forced the young league, particularly its rule-loving President Joe Carr, to keep up or get out of the way.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tom Brady and Jim Gray start this episode talking about plans for Halloween, then they get into why the Bucs seem so out-of-sync this season after another loss, this time to the Ravens on Thursday Night Football. The good news is that they're still in the race to win the NFC South. Tom weighs in on whether players are more likely to get injured playing on turf vs grass fields. Finally, they talk about Tom's personal life spilling over into the public conversation, Bill Belichick passing George Halas on the all-time wins list, helping hurricane victims, and preparing for the Rams.

You'd be forgiven for doing a double take when looking at the Week 7 schedule and seeing Chicago @ New England in primetime. But an opportunity for Bill Belichick to overtake Bears legend George Halas for the second most wins in NFL history made it make sense. Belichick's Patriots went in as 8-point favourites, but inconsistent quarterback play and a suddenly run happy Justin Fields were there to ruin the party. Brian joins Mark H to look at the major storylines from the upset

Matt Waldman's RSP Cast kicks off a new podcast series devoted to scouting reports of past NFL players and what made them great. This month, Matt reviewed the film and explains why Bears' Punky QB Jim McMahon's greatness is vastly underrated.  Jim McMahon Was A Cultural Stamp of the 1980s He arrived at the Chicago facility in a limousine drinking cans of Budweiser. George Halas, the father of the NFL, greeted him with a gruff assessment: He had a bad eye, he was too small, and his arm was suspect. Halas wondered aloud if his new quarterback was better off in the CFL. McMahon probably knew Papa Bear was testing him and didn't hesitate with his answer. "Then why did you draft me, old man?" McMahon took over Mike Ditka's offense, an unimaginative scheme that probably inspired the worst of McMahon's teammate and future head coach, Jeff Fisher. Shackled with a predictable run game despite having an all-time great in the backfield, McMahon changed the plays as he saw fit. His aggressive forays downfield coupled with his keen strategic mind for the game swept the clouds of dust from Soldier Field and catalyzed a championship-caliber team. McMahon was the quarterback that the football movies of that era tried to emulate and failed. Fans and media never understood what John Madden knew: When at the height of his powers, McMahon was arguably the best quarterback of the era — a bold statement bordering on insanity when considering that Joe Montana and Dan Marino ruled the 80s and were among the greatest to ever throw a football in any era. Madden may have been entertaining, but he was no hot-take con artist. If you scout the game and take a closer look without the mainstream stat-based or "QB wins" mindset, you'll arrive at a similar conclusion. I did. What Makes McMahon Great Definitely not his stats. This is the measuring stick for most who judge quarterback play. It means that even those who have an appreciation for McMahon often cite the intangibles as the foundation for his greatness. If you've been reading the Rookie Scouting Portfolio's quarterback evaluations for any length of time, you know that much of what people say is intangible can be defined and graded. You have to go to the film. This week, I studied the tape on McMahon — past games as well as career highlights and retrospectives on YouTube — and it was easy to see why former BYU teammate Steve Young credited McMahon as much, if not more, than Joe Montana for being the template he needed to learn the position. In this week's podcast, I share the insights I gained from McMahon's game as a technician, a decision maker, an athlete, and a leader and compare him to other quarterbacks of the past with more on-field acclaim. Listen to the pod, watch some of the videos below, and you'll get a glimpse at why McMahon's quarterbacking has subtlety, guts, and technical and strategic greatness. It's ironic that at the height of his career and celebrity, McMahon had a huge sponsorship where he uttered the words: "Image is everything," because his image became the historical narrative overshadowing that greatness. Links to the videos (the NFL blocked them from viewing outside of YouTube): Part I Part II Part III And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2022 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.  Matt's new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   Best yet,

For some reason the NFL insists on foisting the Bears and Packers in Lambeau at night, on national TV on us. They should know better. The Bears were overmatched, again, and while they kept the score superficially close, the outcome was really never in doubt. The Bears ran the ball well at the beginning and near the end, but did nothing in between. The guys try to figure out what what any of it means, and why Trevis Gipson is going to be in trouble if the league makes him pee in the cup this week. They discuss why a team would possibly be in the shotgun at the goal line, why the Bears only threw 11 passes and what present George Halas once left Mike Ditka after a similar loss. And, they look ahead to the return of Lovie and hope he still hasn't figured out when to use his timeouts. He hasn't. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/desipio/message

NETWORK SPONSORS https://sportshistorynetwork.com/row1/ (Row One) - the vintage shop for sports history fans! EPISODE SUMMARY Every so often, an NFL team strikes gold with a draft choice. In 2022, virtually no stone is left unturned when teams belly up to evaluate potential draftees. Film, personal workouts, sprint times, psychological profiles, and personal interviews are all considered as part of the process to determine which players will be identified as probable draft prospects. After all, big, big money is at stake along with the future success of the selecting team. But when the draft was initiated in 1936, many of the draftees simply were not interested in pursuing professional football. This prompted teams to begin looking at prospects with a little more scrutiny instead of simply relying on newspapers or football magazines to learn about the top prospects. Or in many cases, a bit of luck was involved… Less study was required for the Chicago Bears in 1940 when a fairly well-known, although smaller player, was a draft day objective of the team. He was selected as the second pick in the first round of the 1940 draft by the Philadelphia Eagles but eventually enjoyed such a stellar career with the Bears that owner George Halas once said: “The highest compliment you can pay any ball carrier is to just compare him to George McAfee.” Read the entire episode blog post and check out some other cool info regarding this https://sportshistorynetwork.com/football/nfl/george-mcafee-chicago-bears (episode here).

NETWORK SPONSORS https://sportshistorynetwork.com/row1/ (Row One) - the vintage shop for sports history fans! EPISODE SUMMARY In 1946, the Chicago Bears won still another championship in the National Football League under head coach and owner George Halas. Yet, this was not an ordinary year for both Halas and the Bears. Not only did the team rebound from an ugly 3-7 finish in 1945 to finish with an 8-2-1 title-winning performance in 1946, but Halas and many of his players literally “came back” from lengthy service commitments in World War II. During this episode of “When Football Was Football” on the Sports History Network, we'll examine how Halas (and his players) were able to merge back into the NFL after their often-horrific experiences during the war. How does a coach discipline a player who has encountered the challenges of modern warfare and the hopeless brutality that went along with it? And, how does a coach even attempt to establish team rules for mature, former soldiers who might now view the game of football as child's play after being shot at just months previously?

EPISODE SUMMARY George Halas, the founder and also coach of the Chicago Bears for many decades, is remembered for many reasons. He was an exceptional leader on the field who continually kept his club in contention for NFL honors and won several league titles himself. He is recalled as one of the founders of the National Football League, while also remembered as being tough, frugal, and perhaps visionary. Bears fans adored him, Green Bay fans hated him, while Cardinals fans still blame him for forcing their team out of Chicago over 60 years ago!
