Podcasts about greatest athlete

This week on the podcast, I'm recommending four sports movies from the 1970s. These aren't the usual titles you hear brought up. Some are a bit strange, some are just overlooked. All of them are worth checking out.Slap Shot (1977)Directed by George Roy Hill, who also did The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Paul Newman plays the player-coach of a struggling minor league hockey team. The film is known for its rough humor and violence on the ice. It was written by Nancy Dowd, based on her brother's experience in the minors. The Hanson Brothers, who steal most of their scenes, were played by real hockey players. The film didn't do well at first but built a strong following over the years.The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (1979)This one is about astrology and basketball. A Pittsburgh team becomes good after aligning its players' zodiac signs. It stars Julius Erving, who was still playing in the NBA at the time. The movie was shot in actual basketball arenas and features real NBA footage. The soundtrack was put together by Thom Bell, known for his work with The Spinners and The Stylistics. It's not a typical sports movie, and it's not serious, but that's part of the appeal.One on One (1977) Robbie Benson stars as a small-town high school basketball player who gets a scholarship to a big college. Benson co-wrote the script. The film was directed by Lamont Johnson, who worked mostly in television but had a few feature films. The music is by Seals and Crofts. It's more grounded than the other films in this group. The basketball scenes are decent, and the story focuses on the pressure college athletes face.The World's Greatest Athlete (1973) A Disney comedy with John Amos and Tim Conway. They go to Africa to find a new track star and bring back a Tarzan-type athlete played by Jan-Michael Vincent. Vincent did some of his own stunts, including a few track scenes. The film mixes broad humor with some light sports moments. It's not realistic, and it wasn't supposed to be. Worth a look if you want something lighter.All four of these were made during a time when studios were trying different things with sports movies. None of them are exactly like the others. If you're looking for something off the usual path, any of these would work. This is probably the first in a series of episodes I will eventually do about sports movies from this decade, I hope you enjoy them.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Fellas! hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. Mine has been busy, and a grind, but life is worth living! and exploring. This next year should be a fun one as I travel the united states with a mission. A mission to capture a lens, the kids point of view who loves sports, and loves the joy and pain that comes with it.

#227 - Jim Thorpe, born to the Sac and Fox tribes in Oklahoma, was a natural in nearly any sport he tried. He excelled the most in football and track and field. But his life was far from perfect. He was born in a time that was less than kind to Native Americans, and his home life wasn't easier. This week, I tell Thorpe's tale. We should pay homage to this incredible athlete. He was not perfect, but he represented sports with an undying love that in born in great athletes and he needs to be recognized.

On this episode of Our American Stories, in 2000, a poll was conducted by ABC Sports recognizing the Greatest Athlete of the Twentieth Century. The winner was not Muhammad Ali, Babe Ruth, Jesse Owens, Wayne Gretzky, Jack Nicklaus, and Michael Jordan—but a man today many have never heard of: an Indian from Oklahoma named Jim Thorpe.

What's up people, Stephen A. Smith joins the boys to discuss the Greatest athlete of all time (It's NOT Michael Jordan), if Tom Brady is even considered an athlete, and how he curves so many ESPN Groupies. His Book Straight Shooter is OUT NOW. INDULGE!

October 13, 1982. The announcement came from Switzerland, across the world from where Jim Thorpe was raised on Indian territory in Oklahoma. In his time, Thorpe was the most popular athlete in the world, winning two gold medals at the 1912 Olympics. But for a variety of reasons—including his Native American heritage—those medals were stripped away. But today, though Thorpe passed away years earlier, his children will receive the medals that their father rightly won. In a special collaboration with our sibling podcast, Sports History This Week, we seek to answer... how does Jim Thorpe rise from an Indian boarding school to become “The Greatest Athlete of All Time"? And why was his legacy almost destroyed?Special thanks to Sunnie Clahchischiligi, freelance journalist and Ph.D. candidate in Cultural, Indigenous, and Navajo Rhetoric at the University of New Mexico; and David Maraniss, associate editor at the Washington Post and author of Path Lit by Lightning: The Life of Jim Thorpe.
