Podcasts about Immaculate Reception

We may have witnessed the worst Paul Skenes of his career as the Brewers beat him up early en route to a 4-0 lead. The Pirates added a run, but it clearly looked like Skenes was off his game. The Pirates didn't do him many favors in the field, but the best stuff was not there. Today was another look at why the Pirates aren't very close to the Brewers. Why can't they be like the teams in Milwaukee, Cleveland or Tampa? ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi reacted to the Aaron Rodgers comments. She loves the way he is excited about mentoring Will Howard since this will ‘probably' be his final season. She said the comments can only bode well for Steelers fans. Aditi reiterated that she has never heard a bad thing about Rodgers' locker room presence. Aditi think it's the best combination of offensive talent they've had for quite some time. Donny Football Debrief – Is there a movie based on the Immaculate Reception in the works?

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.

Voice of America news editor and Pittsburgh native Dan Joseph ("Behind the Yoi: The Life of Myron Cope, Legendary Pittsburgh Steelers Broadcaster") joins the podcast this week for a deep dive into the legacy of one of pro football's most unique broadcast voices. Myron Cope (1929-2008) served as the radio color commentator for the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers from 1970 to 2005, becoming an irreplaceable voice in NFL broadcasting. Known for his distinctive, gravelly tone and catchphrases like “Yoi!” and “Okle-dokle,” Cope's excitement and unapologetic support for the Steelers led fans to mute their TVs and tune into his radio broadcasts. His career extended beyond game days, with his pioneering evening talk show dominating Pittsburgh's airwaves for over two decades and earning him the honor of being the first pro football announcer inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame. Born and raised in Pittsburgh to Lithuanian Jewish parents, Cope initially pursued journalism, writing for publications such as Sports Illustrated. But it was through the airwaves that he truly captured fans' hearts. In 1975, Cope created the "Terrible Towel" - a gold towel Steelers fans waved in support of their team - which became a powerful emblem of Steelers Nation. His contributions to the team's lore also include co-naming 1972's “Immaculate Reception,” forever tying him to one of the NFL's most iconic plays.

Hey “yinz,” this is a really good podcast but unless you understand Pittsburgh slang you might not understand it all. Fortunately while our next guest is a lifelong resident of the area where three rivers converge to create the once hallowed ground known as “Three Rivers Stadium,” home to the “Immaculate Reception.” Ron Bohin is an avid O-Scale three rail modeler who graduated from school qualified to be aircraft mechanic, which of course explains how he ended up working for U.S. Steel and eventually became a locomotive engineer. Then after that successful career, it was time to move on to the Port Authority of Allegheny County, now known as Pittsburgh Regional Transit. They needed signal maintainers and when Ron submitted his resume it seemed as though, no one else  could be better qualified. If you're as confused as we are, it's time to fire up the Motorola and give a listen to this podcast, it's actually pretty good!!

Once again we dug up some memorable audio that you may have never heard before: Art Rooney's sage advice, Steelers in Hollywood, a forgotten Pirates controversy, and even some Bengals remorse!

Folks, it's the most wonderful time of the year! Football, blessed football has returned and not a moment too soon. Baseball is wonderful for sure, but nothing beats football. Even though its return signifies the end of summer vacations and going back to school, it's all worth it because of football, I shit you not. Thom and I played it as kids and the three of us have watching it our whole lives and we talk about it all year long. Hell, there's hardly a podcast episode we've ever had without at least a mention of football somewhere in there. And that's because football is so great! The moments that define a game and define a team and a season stay with us forever. We talk about them over beers endlessly. Kids go outside and try to recreate them forever. The greatest plays in football lore have names like The Catch, The Helmet Catch, The Immaculate Reception, or in Seahawks Lore The Tip, The Phantom Touchdown, & The Fail Mary; the list goes on. Today we're discussing our Top 5 Football Moments. To enhance the discussion we didn't share our lists with each other and by no means are we experts in this or any other category, though this time we're actually kinda close. We're just a few dudes who like to talk about nonsense.  The Top 5 Podcast is hosted by Zach Rancourt, Eric Schoen, and Thomas Lockhart.

Meanwhile in Tampa, the Pittsburgh Steelers were underdogs to a team that they called “paper champions” a season before after the Bucs disrupted their pregame warmups on ABC's Monday Night Football.

Berkley Brady, based in Calgary, Alberta, is a producer, DGC director, and writer, known for her work in film and television. Operating under the corporate entity Nika Productions Inc., Brady draws inspiration from cinematic and art history, hip-hop culture, and the natural landscape. With a passion for storytelling on screens of all sizes, Brady's creative pursuits reflect her diverse influences.Raised in a family of storytellers and night owls, Brady's multicultural background as a Metis on her father's side and predominantly Scottish on her mother's side shaped her early experiences. A vivid childhood memory involves sitting under a restaurant table, captivated by her father's animated storytelling, which brought laughter and joy to the listeners.In 1986, Brady relocated to Calgary, a city nestled between the Rocky Mountains and the prairies, where she discovered her teenage passions for books, snowboarding, and indulging in the mystique of brooding boys with baggy pants. Her dedication to snowboarding led her to compete in half-pipe competitions, even achieving a notable third-place ranking in her province in 1994. Brady's connection to snowboarding extends beyond the sport itself; she views its physicality, flow, and rhythm as influences that shape her directorial approach. The mathematical curves and musicality inherent in snowboarding inform her intuitive collaboration with actors and her pursuit of fluid camera work.After completing university, Brady embarked on a journey as an assistant to documentary and experimental filmmakers, immersing herself in projects such as editing documentaries on the International Criminal Court and capturing potlatch ceremonies. These early experiences kindled her passion for narrative filmmaking, leading her to pursue an MFA in film directing at Columbia University in New York City. During her six-year stay in the city, she absorbed its vibrant cultural landscape, exploring various art forms, including dance and the legacy of hip-hop. Brady's time at Columbia involved working as a Teacher's Assistant at Barnard College and collaborating with different production companies as a reader. Additionally, she produced her first award-winning short film, "The Immaculate Reception," which premiered at Sundance Film Festival, marking her inaugural visit to the renowned event.Brady's accolades continued to accumulate as she won the prestigious Alfred P. Sloan award, which provided the opportunity to create her debut short film, "Blow Out." This atmospheric piece delves into the story of a lone geologist battling her crew on an isolated, snow-blown oil rig.Despite being inspired by the creativity and ambition surrounding her in the United States, Brady decided to return to Canada in 2016, driven by love. She is happily married to Ian Lister, a notable Canadian cinematographer. Brady cherishes the artistic landscape of Canada and directed her first two episodes of the upcoming TV series "Secret History of the Wild West." With the support of Telefilm funding, she ventured into feature film directing, completing her debut feature, "Dark Nature," in the autumn of 2022. The film premiered at Fantasia in Montreal, marking a significant milestone in her career.Currently, Brady's creative focus lies in directing horror films infused with adventure and evocative emotions. For her, the perfect film is one that elicits laughter, screams, and tears. With a desire to offer guilt-free escapes, Brady aspires to craft stories that employ genre conventions to tackle significant and sometimes challenging ideas.Connect with the Film School'd Podcast:– Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/filmschoold– Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/filmschooldpod/– Twitter: https://twitter.com/FilmSchooldPod– YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdgrswiL4AGviAOcbzfYCAwContinue the Conversation in the Official Film School'd Discussion Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/filmschoold

An ape got pregnant in isolation but it took the zoo a while to figure out how!

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.
