Ho ho ho! Well, we've made it to the end of another year. Jennifer talks a bit about the lessons learned in his one, and the ones that seem to be on the horizon. We revisit a tidbit from last week's podcast when Amelia Earhart suggested I might take a trip to ChatGPT with regard to the book I'm working on - and I realized when I listened afterwards, she may have been referring to a search I had done a few days before. Turns out that indeed was the case, when I asked ChatGPT to identify the mysterious woman whom Amelia was in love with, who was part of the marriage with George Putnam, who was in bed with Amelia and George when Dorothy Putnam walked in on the three of them. This has been something I had searched and researched since 2008 when I first heard it from Pattie Canova, a medium in NYC, then via Jamie Butler, a medium working with Channeling Erik, then via Jennifer Shaffer during our marathon interviews with Amelia when we met ten years ago. Now I have a name to go with the story. I am thrilled to learn it. Then Junior Seau showed up to say hello - we've interviewed him before about how CTE has been cured by Joe Namath using oxygen therapy. Then my old pal Bill Paxton showed up to say hello, tease Jennifer because she always forgets her name, and when I asked him who he was surprised to see on the flipside, he mentioned Carl Weathers - whom I spent a year writing a screenplay with. Carl was also a sweetheart, a wonderful friend like Bill is and was - and knowing the two of them hanging out means all that many more laughs in the universe. Another thrilling thing to hear. So with all these thrills, sending everyone a happy holidays, Happy Hanukkah, a safe and hilarious New Year's and we'll catch you on the flipside of 2024! As always, a special thanks to Jennifer and to Luana for making this podcast possible. It's mind bending, but it has been since we began ten years ago!!!

In der neuen Folge des „NFL Boulevard“ geht Kucze mit Jets-Fan Heiko und Giants-Anhänger Marek auf Spurensuche, warum die beiden New Yorker NFL-Teams schon länger chronisch schlecht sind. Die Jets konnten zuletzt in der Saison 2002 ihre Division, die AFC East, gewinnen und sich letztmals in der Spielzeit 2010 für die Playoffs qualifizieren. Bei den Giants läuft's noch nicht ganz so lange mies. Aber aktuell scheint auch ein neuer Tiefpunkt erreicht. Vor kurzem wurde Quarterback Daniel Jones, der einen hochdotierten Vertrag besitzt, gebenched. Heiko und Marek erzählen emotional, wie sie Fans ihrer Teams wurden, welche Fehler in den letzten Jahrzehnten gemacht wurden, wer schuld ist an der Misere, wie hart der New Yorker Medienmarkt ist und ob das Metlife Stadium, das sich beide Mannschaften teilen, eventuell verflucht ist. Viel Spaß beim Hören! Wenn ihr Vorschläge für ein Thema des „NFL Boulevard“ habt, schreibt Kucze am besten über Instagram oder X an (@kucze22).

Esto se dio a finales de la década de los 60, una época de efervescencia social y rebeldía reflejada en todos lados, incluida la NFL.

The numbers are staggering... Over 6 decades of work... 300+ covers... and countless stories that go with each one of them. Walter Iooss is the most prolific photographer Sports Illustrated has ever had. There is a reason it's not called Sports Literature, but Sports Illustrated... and that's because of the shooters like Iooss who captured a generation of sports idols with their photos. A time when the only way to see Willie Mays, Elgin Baylor, Lee Trevino, Joe Namath and so many more was through the weekly magazine and the photos provided by men like Walter Iooss. Starting as a teenager, Walter 's love for sports was equally matched with his passion for photography. After sending in a few photos from a NY Giants football game he and his father attended to an editor at SI he was given an assignment... he was so young, his dad had to drive him to it. And from there, a career like none other in the field of Sports Photography was born. From The Catch to Broadway Joe at Super Bowl III, Iooss had a habit of being in the right place at the right time and made a career out of it. Oh... and did we mention his numerous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoots? Ever heard of Christie, or Tyra, or Elle or Paulina? A generation of super models helped made famous because they were in front of the lens of a Walter Iooss camera. What's his best shot? Who did he laugh at with the most?

But during the 1970s, that was not the case, especially before 1978, when all the new rules that greatly benefited the pro-passing strategies came about. I wondered which team from the 1970s might be able to fit in and exist in 2024, based on the offensive plays that they used in the 1970s?

Which was the better guarantee: Joe Namath or Mark Messier?
Game three between the Knicks and Sixers is tonight in Philadelphia. There were a lot of complaints from the Sixers in game 2. Gio said everything you need to know about this series will depend on Joel Embiid tonight. This is a pivotal game as the Sixers have to have this one. Embiid did say that they are going to come back and win the series. But he did it with his head down and with no confidence. Which was the better guarantee: Joe Namath or Mark Messier? Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about big assassinations and surprise deaths. Fun! Jerry has audio of JJ McCarthy on with Rich Eisen pretty much saying he thinks he's going to the Giants. The Moment of The Day involves Gio meeting Dua Lipa and a cast of characters for a support staff. In the final segment of the show, Boomer recalls his draft day and said it started in the morning. Boomer said this draft will get interesting at pick number three. We gave our predictions for the Giants and Jets tonight.
Hour 1 Tonight is the NFL draft and it will be interesting starting with the third pick. Everyone expects Caleb Williams to the Bears and Jayden Daniels to the Commanders. What will the Patriots do at three and of course the Giants at six. Even after they won the National Championship, nobody had JJ McCarthy as a first round pick and now all of a sudden he's a top ten pick. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with audio from Caleb Williams saying who else he wants the Bears to draft. JJ McCarthy was on with Rich Eisen and seemed to say he feels like he's going to the Giants. Boomer said most people have the Giants being enamored with Drake Maye. Jalen Brunson talked about tonight's upcoming game against the Sixers and his struggles so far. Tommy Luguaer was so angry at the Knicks narrative that he cursed on air. JD Martinez will finally be in the Mets lineup tomorrow. In the final segment of the hour, most people think the Jets will take Brock Bowers, the TE out of Georgia. Hour 2 Yesterday Gio got to finally meet Dua Lipa in midtown Manhattan. Gio traveled with Anthony Gallo up to meet her and said Gallo would not shut up. There were a lot of logistics to properly meet her. Gio helped present a gift to her from Audacy. Jerry returns for an update and has audio of Al Dukes going on our sports station in Chicago to do the Giants pick for their mock draft. It did not go well. Fans in Philadelphia are not happy that Villanova put out a congratulatory tweet to their players on the Knicks. Josh Hart thought it was ‘idiotic' of fans to be mad at that. The Yankees beat the A's as Judge, Rizzo and Soto all homered. The Mets beat the Giants and Francisco Lindor hit 2 homeruns. In the final segment of the hour, the Giants are linked to both Drake Maye and JJ McCarthy. In fact, McCarthy sounds like he knows the Giants are drafting them. A caller argues that Jayden Daniels is better than Caleb Williams. Hour 3 Boomer wonders who are the most stable franchises in NY. Boomer said it's the Yankees. Gio said they are more ‘stale' than ‘stable'. Boomer asked, when we come in tomorrow, will we be talking about a new Giants QB? Boomer said this could be all smoke and mirrors by the Giants, making people think they are taking a QB when they take a WR. Jerry returns for an update and has audio from LT joining Evan and Tiki and talking about hookers. JJ McCarthy was on with Rich Eisen and it sure sounds like he thinks he's going to the Giants. Drake Maye talked about meeting with the Giants. Game three of the Knicks/Sixers is tonight in Philly and we heard from Joel Embiid and Jalen Brunson. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer said Gio's life has really been on the upswing since joining the show. Hour 4 Game three between the Knicks and Sixers is tonight in Philadelphia. There were a lot of complaints from the Sixers in game 2. Gio said everything you need to know about this series will depend on Joel Embiid tonight. This is a pivotal game as the Sixers have to have this one. Embiid did say that they are going to come back and win the series. But he did it with his head down and with no confidence.

This is a Special Edition of the Shaping Opinion Podcast called “1979: City of Champions.” In this extended episode (90 minutes), we take you to when Pittsburgh became the “City of Champions,” and how its impact went well beyond the field, or just baseball or football fans. In the end, it's about what sports can do to bolster an entire people who are going through hard times. Guests include: Kent Tekulve, Joe Gordon, Lanny Frattare, Michael MacCambridge, John Steigerwald and Walter Iooss, Jr. This is the story of Pittsburgh, City of Champions, like you've never heard it before. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Full_Episode_-_City_of_Champions_auphonic.mp3 In this episode, we start with a group of Pittsburgh steelworkers who are standing around waiting for the arrival of two Pittsburgh sports icons. They stand in the cold and drafty Jones and Laughlin steel mill along the banks of the Monongahela River. The smoke stack above their building belches out thick black smoke. The stack next to it literally belches out fire. The air around the mill is thick with the smell of burning sulfur. If you're one of the kids at the playground on the bluff above that mill in South Oakland, you're at eye level with the top of those stacks and you can see that fire. You can see that smoke pouring out, and the air smells like rotten eggs. You can't avoid it. Down below, the guests of honor have arrived. They are both co-honorees - named Sports Illustrated's Sportsmen of the Year. Willie Stargell of the World Series Champion Pittsburgh Pirates and Terry Bradshaw, of the three-time Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. About 15 steelworkers, clad in their green and gray mill uniforms, where hard hats and safety glasses, and they crowd around Stargell and Bradshaw, who are in their own work uniforms. Instantly, these tough and grizzled veterans of the mill become boyish football fans when the two baseball and football stars come in. Not much is getting done around the mill right now. With them is another legend. The photographer. But not just any photographer. He's a GOAT in his own right. Walter Iooss, Jr. is Sports Illustrated's best ever. Ever see that photo of Joe Namath predicting a Jets Super Bowl win at pool side? That was Walter. What about the shot of Joe Montana throwing to Dwight Clark in the 1981 NFC Championship game, the one they called, “The Catch?” That was Walter, too. From Tiger Woods to Michael Jordan, to the iconic Swimsuit editions. If you can conjure up an iconic sports or swimsuit image in your mind, there's a good chance Walter captured it for you. And here he is, lighting the floor of a steel mill to take a shot that would soon become iconic in its own right. Willie Stargell in his World Series champion uniform. Gold shirt with black pants. Next to him, Terry Bradshaw in his Super Bowl champion uniform, that classic black shirt with boxed numbers and gold pants. Surrounding them are those steelworkers. Walter told me there really wasn't much to setting up the shot, but what it stood for, well, that was something else. Welcome to 1979 and Pittsburgh, The City of Champions. In this episode we take you through, chronologically, the year Pittsburgh became the City of Champions, along with stories, insights, and what it all came to mean.
