Blood on the Sawdust: The Brutal World of Victorian Boxing Episode Overview In this 9th Anniversary Special, we step out of the West End drawing rooms and into the blood-flecked, sawdust-covered floors of 19th-century “Fancy” public houses. Inspired by the depiction of East End street culture in A Thousand Blows, this episode explores the history of Victorian boxing—from the illegal bare-knuckle bouts of the Regency era to the gentrified, gloved sport codified under the Marquess of Queensberry Rules. We examine how prizefighting evolved from a brutal survival strategy into a national obsession, the legal cat-and-mouse games played across county lines, and the medical and physical toll extracted from the fighters. We also dive into the remarkable life of international combat instructor Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery and uncover the overlooked history of 19th-century female prizefighters. Key Topics Covered: Housekeeping & AI Voice Policy: Why the podcast is permanently stepping away from AI-generated voice models in favour of human research, along with updates on replacement recording equipment and audio access. The “Sweet Science” & Prizefighting History: How bare-knuckle fighting functioned as a mix of martial arts, local wrestling, and survival in an era where the body was often a worker’s sole asset. The Structural Cage of the Law: The jurisdictional loopholes that allowed fights to flourish on county borders, and the evolution of legal precedents from R v Billingham (1825) to R v Coney (1882). The Aristocratic “Fancy” & Early Pioneers: The rise of sports journalism via Pierce Egan's Boxiana, and landmark international contests like the 1810 bout between Tom Cribb and former American slave Tom Molineaux. Case Study – The Ruin of Harry Broome: Following the career arc of Harry Broome from his controversial match at Acorn Bridge to his defeat by Tom Paddock and his eventual death in poverty. The Queensberry Transition: Why the introduction of gloves in 1867 was viewed with suspicion by working-class fighters, and how padded gloves inadvertently increased the long-term risk of chronic brain injury. Gentlemen, Self-Defence & Martial Arts: Highlights from Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery's C19th treatise Self Defence for Ladies and Gentlemen, including his views on boxing over firearms and his praise for female swordmasters. Women in the Ring: The subversion of Victorian gender norms, focusing on the 1888 world championship bout between Hattie Leslie and Alice Leary, and the legal outrage that followed.

This week on the 1000 Hours Podcast series which about the pioneer era of pro wrestling I discuss one of the most famous boxing matches in history. Pioneer era boxing was on the rise at the same time pioneer era pro wrestling was and the biggest name in pioneer era wrestling was William Muldoon. John L. Sullivan, the pioneer boxing legend, was having some problems, namely, he was a sodden drunkard who ate and partied too much. Not only did William Muldoon whip Sullivan into shape but Sullivan won the boxing World heavyweight title in the most famous (and illegal) boxing match of the 1800s. YOU CONTROL THIS SERIES!

This week on my 1000 Hours podcast series which focuses exclusively on pre-Frank Gotch era pro wrestling, we finish out the 1880s and enter the last decade of the pioneer era of pro wrestling. Taken from my popular book DragonKingKarl's Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus, we look at the final days of William Muldoon as a pro wrestler. Muldoon began losing interest in pro wrestling after the more entertainment based Greco-Roman wrestling declined in popularity, replaced by the rougher and more vicious style of Catch-as-Catch-Can and the rise of Evan 'Strangler' Lewis. Muldoon began casting his lot more and more with boxing, particularly pioneer boxer John L. Sullivan and, well, let's just say that didn't go very well and ended with each insulting the other in the newspapers and Sullivan accusing Muldoon of being (aghast!) a GOVERNMENT RAT!

William Muldoon was an infamous athlete whose prowess, savvy, and chicanery across his six-decade career led him to wealth, cultural importance, and political power. Muldoon, the child of poor Irish immigrants, began wrestling in the 1870s and quickly became one of the most famous athletes of the post–Civil War era. He started acting and modeling as his popularity grew, making him one of the first sports stars to achieve crossover success. After a triumphant stint rehabilitating fallen boxing heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan in 1889, he retired from the ring and began a new career as a fitness impresario, founding an elite gymnasium and remaking himself as a health authority in the press. He became trainer to the rich, famous, and politically powerful, which led to his appointment as chair of the New York State Athletic Commission in the 1920s. From this position, Muldoon exerted his influence over the rules of boxing and wrestling and weaponized his power to maintain segregation in sport. The Last Gladiator: William Muldoon and the Making of American Sports (U Texas Press, 2025) is a deep, insightful dive into Muldoon's life and impact, demonstrating the significance of this often-controversial figure in the development of American sports, professional wrestling, and physical and popular culture. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. His next book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, will be out on November 1. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep.

He also serves as President of the International Society of Political Psychology. His research focuses in particular on the nature of ideology and belief systems, the psychological foundations of political preferences, and intergroup attitudes. He is co-author of Open Versus Closed: Personality, Identity, and the Politics of Redistribution, and a co-editor of the volumes At the Forefront of Political Psychology: Essays in Honor of John L. Sullivan, and The Political Psychology of Democratic Citizenship. In this episode, we start by talking about the foundations of political preferences, and liberal and conservative attitudes. We discuss an elite-driven view of ideological belief systems. We talk about the phenomenon of collective narcissism, and how it relates to in-group satisfaction, nationalism, and perceptions that the 2020 election in the US was illegitimate. We also talk about collective self-esteem, ideological uncertainty, and the link between religiosity and political ideology. Finally, we discuss the phenomenon of feelings of group-extinction threat, and how (white) people react to their perceived numerical decline.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

We preview the Racine Theater Guild's newest production, "And in this corner: Cassius Clay," which runs this weekend and the next. Shawn Holmes, director of the production, joins us - along with Aquil Ocacio, who is one of two actors portraying the title character. For part two, we replay an excerpt from an interview with Paul Beston in which he talks about his book "The American Kings," which examines the extraordinary legacy of American heavyweight boxing champions from John L. Sullivan to Mike Tyson.
This is the complete interview with Paul Beston talking about his book "The American Kings," which tells the story of seven American heavyweight boxing champions: John L. Sullivan, Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson. (An excerpt played on today's program.)
By Davy Crockett By 1884, “Old Sport” Peter Napoleon Campana (1836-1906), had gained national fame. He was being called "the clown of the walking matches." While he was never competitive enough to win a six-day race, event managers knew that he was a huge draw to bring spectators into a race. They paid him a salary to be in their races. At age 52, some called him "The living skeleton." Campana acted the part of a decrepit old man and said, “I am 62 years old and I haven't got a tooth in my head and only a few hairs on it, but I'm here for sport, and don't you forget it.” New book! Old Sport Campana: Ultrarunning's Most Popular and Amusing 19th Century Runner. As I researched for these podcast episodes, I realized that I had enough content for an entire amusing and interesting book. This episode previews chapter six of the book. To read the entire story of Old Sport, get my new book on Amazon. Another Retirement After May 1884, the number of six-day races declined. Those held until 1886 were more of a minor nature, and no races were held in Campana's favorite venue, Madison Square Garden. It was written, “Walking matches no longer fire the public heart to the violence of a volcano”. The lull was mostly caused by a long financial recession until mid-1885, which contributed to tightening money. Campana did not compete in another six-day race for nearly three years. He tried to enter the first major six-day roller skating race held in March 1885, in Madison Square Garden. “One of the familiar sights was the appearance of Old Sport Campana, the ancient rival of O'Leary, still wearing the peaked cap, red shirt and bandanna neckerchief, that made him the object of curiosity in days gone by.” He believed he could win the race, but the managers refused to let him enter, knowing about his clowning reputation. Campana's Fame Campana was now recognized nearly everywhere he went. One day, he showed up in Boston. “A number of people followed the ‘old hero' about town with no particular object in view, other than to see him. Finally, he went into one of the drug stores and purchased sixteen ounces of the tincture of Jamaica ginger, which he drank at once, on a bet. Everyone expected to see him drop dead, but ‘Sport' is not one of the dying kind. It took considerable water and a good deal of profanity to cool his mouth off.” Later in the month, Campana was in New York City, examining a bunch of bananas in the warehouse of a Greenwich dealer. Going by, was a well-dressed man, with three friends who went into Smith & McNell's hotel. Campana yelled out, “There goes John L. Sullivan and Patsy Sheppard (boxers).” That started a mob of nearly 500 men going to the windows of the hotel trying to get a glimpse of the famous athletes. Campana Seriously Injured At his hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut, one day in June 1885, Campana was at a baseball game, cheering for Princeton instead of Bridgeport. He went too far, became abusive, and refused to leave. “The old man doesn't like the Bridgeport team worth a cent, and he kept on with his voice regardless of consequences. His brother, Policeman Alex Campana, was asked to quiet Sport and he did so, after a short parley with him, by whacking him three times on the head with his club. The pedestrian then walked off like a little lamb, bleeding. Some of the bystanders expressed indignation that the special officer clubbed his brother, but the majority thought that he got what he deserved.” He ended up in the hospital for weeks, sick, in critical condition, and without money or friends. In August 1885, after six weeks, he was discharged, became a ward of the city, and was expected to die at any moment. A month later, he had recovered and seemed to be like his old self. Campana the Peddler Campana succeeded in peddling a new product. He said, “There's no place like the New Milford fair. I went up there without a cent.
Hablar del Madison Square Garden es hablar de “la arena más famosa del mundo”, el templo del deporte, la catedral, el recinto más famoso y popular del planeta. Es el gran escenario del deporte, del entretenimiento y de la música. Pero fundamentalmente ha sido el epicentro del boxeo mundial durante muchísimas décadas. Incluso interviniendo como promotora, el Garden trabajó con los más grandes campeones y sus matchmakers son figuras legendarias dentro de la historia del boxeo. Y si bien, en el boxeo, con los años, fue perdiendo protagonismo en detrimento de otras sedes en Las Vegas, Atlantic City, o ahora en los países árabes, toda estrella del boxeo tiene que brillar en el Garden. Todavía, a día de hoy, cualquier velada en el histórico recinto neoyorquino tiene un sabor especial y una vinculación con la tradición. En casi siglo y medio de historia, el Garden ha tenido cuatro enclaves distintos, cada uno con su importancia y sus acontecimientos legendarios. En su historia hay de todo: grandes gestas, escándalos, crímenes… por ahí pasaron desde John L. Sullivan a Muhammad Ali, de Katie Taylor y Amanda Serrano a Joe Louis y Rocky Marciano o Frank Sinatra haciendo fotos. El Garden lo ha visto todo. Corte 1: “In the Garden”, Van Morrison Corte 2: Madness – “Victoria Gardens” Corte 3: The Jigsaw Seen - Girl on a Red Velvet Swing Corte 4: “The house that Jack Built” Thelma Jones Corte 5: “You are only human (second wind)”, Billy Joel Corte 6: REM “Gardening at night” Corte 7: “My golden years” The Lemon Twigs
“We have a basket and a ball, and it seems to me that would be a good name for it.” This is the story of America's varied athletic endeavors (besides baseball). Though each sport could provide enough material for an entire episode, it would probably run us into overtime, and the 1920s are drawing to a close. As Black Thursday approaches, it's time for some last-minute fun and games. The 1920s is the Golden Age of Sports—fans can't get enough of the races, the ring, the court, or the gridiron. Of course, in the case of horse racing and boxing, the love of the competition is combined with the heady rush of gambling. But even when there's no money changing hands, sports still draw people in. There's simple bloodlust; boxing legends like John L. Sullivan and Jack Johnson are ruthless, and football actually gets so savage that it's almost banned entirely until Teddy Roosevelt and a few others intervene, (much to the relief of fans today). There's also novelty. James Naismith's game “basketball” is a true original. But the most compelling factor is probably witnessing human excellence, best exemplified by the American Olympian dubbed “the greatest athlete in the world.” ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

In 1866, the Fenian Brotherhood, comprised primarily of Irish Civil War veterans, led a series of attacks on Canadian provinces just across the border from the United States. Their goal: seize Canadian territory and exchange it for Irish independence. Similar raids continued until 1871, and although they were ultimately unsuccessful, they are part of a greater story of the American Civil War, Irish Independence, and trans-Atlantic immigration to the United States in the mid-19th Century. In this episode, Bob & Ben speak with Christopher Klein about his book When the Irish Invaded America: The Incredible True Story of the Civil War Veterans Who Fought for Ireland's Freedom (Doubleday, 2019).

It's "Staycation Destinations" on Family Life We begin the Summer 2024 tour of Pennsylvania and New York in the Finger Lakes region, celebrating 300+ people who transformed medicine, culture, sports, politics, the arts and so much more. Every one of these special people --- a woman. The National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls has used a nomination process through which the general public can nominate potential inductees. The Hall marked its grand reopening in an expanded facility this spring, and debuts new exhibit space in July with interactive exhibits on loan from the Smithsonian. "Voices and Votes: Democracy in America" will be paired with displays of fiber arts from local and regional crafters. A guest presenter is Hinda Mandell of the Rochester Institute of Technology who has explored a unique parallel between textiles and smartphones. In this exclusive Family Life News podcast, Executive Director and CEO Jennifer Gabriel tells you about the Hall and its history, its mission and its summer schedule. - - - The National Women's Hall of Fame is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Details are at www.WomenOfTheHall.org. “Staycation Destinations” is our weekly summer series, broadcast each Friday at noon on the radio and online, then posted to our News Podcasts page. Each offers a radio tour of a unique site in Pennsylvania or New York, fairly close to home, fairly inexpensive, and good for a potential day trip or longer visit by individuals, couples, families, friends or church groups. Each weekend, we also give you a “Sidetrip Suggestion” -- another place in our two states which stands out in a unique, quirky, or enlivening way. For this weekend, a completely different angle on what a Hall of Fame can celebrate: The Bare Knuckles Boxing Hall of Fame celebrates John L. Sullivan. With none of those bulky boxing gloves, and 75 rounds later, Sullivan won the world championship. It was in barns built in 1889 where Sullivan trained with a very original fitness guru. William Muldoon is celebrated as the "Father of the Modern Medicine Ball". Some of his other fitness innovations are still in use in that industry today. The Bare Knuckles Boxing Hall of Fame [BKBHOF] is seven miles north of exit 30 on I-86, in the town of Belfast, NY.

Podcasting in a Platform Age: From an Amateur to a Professional Medium (Bloomsbury, 2024) explores the transition underway in podcasting by considering how the influx of legacy and new media interest in the medium is injecting professional and corporate logics into what had been largely an amateur media form. Many of the most high-profile podcasts today, however, are produced by highly-skilled media professionals, some of whom are employees of media corporations. Legacy radio and new media platform giants like Google, Apple, Amazon, and Spotify are also making big (and expensive) moves in the medium by acquiring content producers and hosting platforms. This book focuses on three major aspects of this transformation: formalization, professionalization, and monetization. Through a close read of online and press discourse, analysis of podcasts themselves, participant observations at podcast trade shows and conventions, and interviews with industry professionals and individual podcasters, John Sullivan outlines how the efforts of industry players to transform podcasting into a profitable medium are beginning to challenge the very definition of podcasting itself.

Have you ever noticed the guy in a fighting stance on the Art of Manliness logo? That's not just some random symbol; it's an actual dude: John L. Sullivan, the greatest bare-knuckle boxer of the 19th century.While most people think bare-knuckle boxing came to an end during Sullivan's era, in fact, it never entirely went away. In his new book, Bare Knuckle: Bobby Gunn, 73–0 Undefeated. A Dad. A Dream. A Fight Like You've Never Seen, Stayton Bonner charts bare-knuckle boxing's rise, fall, and resurgence, as well as the improbable story of its modern chapter's winningest champion. Today on the show, Stayton describes bare-knuckle boxing's incredible popularity a century ago, and why gloved boxing took its place while bare-knuckle got pushed into a shadowy, illicit underground. Stayton takes us into that secret circuit which still exists today, revealing the dark, sweaty basements and bars where modern bare-knuckle fights take place and the ancient code of honor that structures them. And Stayton introduces us to a dominant figure in that world, Bobby Gunn, an undefeated bare-knuckle fighter who combines a love of faith, family, and fighting and has helped turn bare-knuckle boxing into what is now the world's fastest-growing combat sport.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM series on honorAoM Podcast #41: Honor in the Civil War — The Gentlemen & The RoughsPodcast #54: The Life of John L.

Today's episode features: Boxer John L. Sullivan Sponsored by 2 Complicated 4 History Produced by Primary Source Media
9-7-2023 Passed Ball Show. John opens the show by explaining why Navy and Notre Dame will play each season until the end of time. He then spends some time talking about why there are good teams in bad teams and what the difference is. There is only one common denominator, John then talks about the dominant run of former heavyweight champion John L Sullivan before segueing that conversation into the greatest player to dominate each individual sport. You may be surprised with some of the answers. Finally, during today's #savingsportshistory segment, John talks about Bobby Riggs, and Billie Jean King, Billy Martin and complete games, Fay Vincent, and how bad of a commissioner Bud Selig was while also mentioning the likes of Paul Brown, Bill Giles, Don Haskins, and Gene Michael.
Peter Jackson, nicknamed the Black Prince, (born July 3, 1861, St. Croix, Virgin Islands—died July 13, 1901, Roma, Queensland, Australia), was an outstanding professional boxer. A victim of racial discrimination, he was denied a chance to fight for the world heavyweight championship while in his prime. This second part of Peter Jackson's story documents the difficulties he faced in trying to get his shot at the heavyweight title with famous names such as John L Sullivan and James Corbett drawing the color line and refusing to meet Jackson in the ring. The impact this would have on Jackson is a sad one and would ultimately lead to a decline and eventually his untimely demise.

Join us in this special episode of Ring Talk with Lou Eisen as we sit down with the multi-talented Adam J. Pollack, a true aficionado of the sweet science. Not only is Pollack a renowned boxing historian, but he is also a referee, judge, and publisher with his own law firm. Despite his numerous roles, he still finds time to immerse himself in the world of boxing and share his knowledge with enthusiasts. Pollack's passion for boxing history began at a young age, fueled by his fascination with old-time fights on video. Unsatisfied with the information available in existing books, he took it upon himself to dive deep into primary sources, unearthing the most detailed and accurate accounts of historical bouts. In 2006, Pollack published his first biography, shedding light on the life of the first gloved heavyweight champion, John L. Sullivan. Since then, he has continued his journey through boxing's rich history, chronicling the ring exploits of champions such as James J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, James J. Jeffries, Marvin Hart, Tommy Burns, and Jack Johnson, among others. His acclaimed "In the Ring With" series has earned rave reviews for its meticulous research and vivid storytelling. Throughout the episode, Pollack shares his insights into the early boxing pioneers, marveling at their endurance, toughness, and skill. His writing not only provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of these legendary fighters but also challenges conventional perceptions and sheds new light on their careers. Beyond the ring, Pollack's day job takes him to the courtroom as a defense attorney, demonstrating his dedication to justice both inside and outside the squared circle. Don't miss this opportunity to explore the rich history of boxing with Adam J. Pollack on Ring Talk with Lou Eisen. Like, comment, and share this video to celebrate the legacy of these boxing pioneers. #talkinfight #boxinghistory #AdamJPollack #loueisen #ringtalk #BoxingPioneers #IntheRingWith #boxinglegacy #boxingenthusiasts

A History Chat on Lawrence's (MA) 'Four Theaters in a Row' and The Merrimack Valley's Hollywood Connections-Featuring Local Historians Joe Bella and Thomas Spitalere About the Four Theaters in the RowJust after the turn of the 20th century, new theaters began to spring up, some in converted older buildings, most as new theaters. At first, the silent film program also included vaudeville shows or celebrities like John L. Sullivan or Helen Keller. At first, Toomey & Demara (Thomas F. Toomey and Napoleon Demara) Amusement Co. owned and operated the Empire, Premier, Colonial, and Broadway (built by Louis B. Mayer) theaters. Later, The Empire Amusement Co., headed by Dr. Alexander l. Siskind, purchased the Empire, Palace, Broadway, and Premier and took a lease on the Colonial. Dr. Siskind had started his association with the movie industry when he opened the Marquise Theater, one of Lawrence's earliest cinemas. His next purchase was the Victoria, which sat opposite the "4 theaters in a row." The four theaters were: the Astor, the Strand, the Broadway, and the Modern.

El momento en que Preston Sturges concibe estos "viajes de Sullivan" es en extremo significativo, no sólo para él (como uno los primeros guionistas de Hollywood que se convirtió en director-autor) sino para su propio país, sumergido por más de una década en agobiante depresión económica, a punto de entrar de lleno en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y tomar distancia de la política social impulsada por F.D. Roosevelt. El mundo en que el realizador habitaba no podía ser más diferente a éste: integrante de la primera oleada de actores y dramaturgos que llegaron a Los Angeles con el advenimiento del sonido, Sturges había disfrutado de años espléndidos escribiendo comedias y filmes musicales para una audiencia que repletaba los cines contra viento y marea. No es extraño, entonces, que —con cierto sentimiento de culpa— se proyecte a sí mismo en John L. Sullivan, exitoso director de comedia que un buen día dice ¡basta! y en un quijotesco ataque de locura comunica a sus productores que, en orden a prepararse a sí mismo para filmar un crudo y realista drama, irá de incógnito por los caminos para conocer al Pueblo, sus dolores y sus necesidades. No tiene la menor idea de lo que le espera... En su tiempo, la película fue interpretada como una directa sátira al esfuerzo hollywoodense por captar el sufrimiento y la pobreza en películas como "Las uvas de la ira" para luego congratularse a sí mismos con una lluvia de premios Oscar, por la hazaña realizada; pero Sturges clava el cuchillo más profundo todavía: cuando Sullivan conoce por fin los horrores de la pobreza y la marginación, estos lo llevan directo hacia otro fantasma estadounidense. La sombra de la esclavitud. De eso y otras cosas se discute en este podcast.
In the final episode of our series on "Parson" Davies, Nick and Chango talk about violent after parties, accidental poisonings, the weird spiral of John L Sullivan after retirement, the title matches of Evan "The Strangler" Lewis, and why you should never pee off the back of a moving train.

2-7-2023 Passed Ball Show. John opens up this show by wondering where was going to go with his Kyrie Irving trade take- not wanting to be repetitive. Among points John was able to make include 1. Kevin Durant (when healthy) has a chance to finally lead his own team. 2. 50/50 chance this deal works for Dallas/ it totally blows up in their face and why. 3. The Nets are NOT to blame for Kyrie not working out. Among the TDSH topics include John L. Sullivan, Joe DiMaggio, Nap Lajoie, Frank Robinson, Steve Nash, Endy Chavez, and why Dan Quisenberry belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Listen up, nerds! John L Sullivan vs Jake Kilrain proved that boxing can indeed be pro wrestling. A young Dan McLeod challenges Evan Lewis. Jack Wannop gets worked over in Chicago... but Sarah Cox from Grapplingwithhistory.com has another opinion. Chango talks about breaking arms, and Nick talks about sitting in jail after a fight. All this, and plenty more madness!
