In this powerful episode of the Driving Change Podcast, host Jeff Bloomfield sits down with NFL legend and championship coach Bill Curry, a man whose humility rivals his accolades. From snapping the ball to Hall of Famers like Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas to learning life-shaping lessons from coaching giants like Vince Lombardi and Don Shula, Curry opens up about the moments that molded him—on and off the field. Curry reflects on his transformation from a reluctant football player to a Super Bowl champion, the locker room conversations that taught him the true meaning of unity, and the quiet forgiveness that changed his life forever. What happened when a young Bill Curry faced off against the legendary Ray Nitschke—and lost? And what did Vince Lombardi say to him on his deathbed that still echoes in his leadership today? You'll have to listen to find out.

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYI belong to several old-school football groups on Facebook, and one of the biggest topics of discussion is who should and shouldn't be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Everyone has an opinion about who's worthy of having their bust placed in the Hallowed Hall. If the HOF voting committee took all of these opinions seriously, half of the players who ever played pro football would be in Canton.Personally, I prefer a Hall of Fame where only the truly elite get inducted. If there needs to be a debate about whether a player should get in, he probably doesn't belong. Here are a few examples of elite players — guys you don't need to debate. Bob Lilly, Dick Butkus, Ronnie Lott, Jim Brown, John Hannah, Paul Warfield, Johnny Unitas. These are players you don't need to think twice about inducting. They are the best of the best, and we don't need to debate about it....You can read the full blog post here.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS BACKGROUNDHost Mark Morthier grew up in New Jersey just across the river from New York City during the 1970s, a great time for sports in the area.

- Bob Feller- Alex Webster- Ray Berry- George Shaw- Jim McAnany- Horace Stoneham- Willie Mays- Carl Hubbell- Casey Stengel- Pat Flaherty- Abe Saperstein- Wilt Chamberlain-In 1958, a cold December afternoon witnessed a historic football game at Yankee Stadium. Two professional football teams battled for the National Football League Championship, and many consider it the greatest game ever played. The Giants took an early 3-0 lead with a field goal by Pat Summerall, but the Colts fought back, taking a 14-3 halftime advantage. Tensions were high as the third quarter began.The Giants found themselves with their backs against the wall when the Colts were on their one-yard line. However, the Giants' defense held strong, and after a 95-yard drive, they clawed their way back into the game. Fullback Mel Triplett and Kyle Rote contributed to their resurgence. In the final quarter, Charlie Conerly connected with Frank Gifford for a touchdown, putting the Giants ahead 17-14.Baltimore attempted to tie the game with a field goal but missed. With only 2 minutes and 25 seconds left, the Giants punted the ball to the Colts. Baltimore was 84 yards away from victory, and Johnny Unitas orchestrated a remarkable drive. In the final seconds, the Colts attempted a field goal, which proved successful, resulting in a 17-17 tie.This tie forced the first sudden-death playoff in league history. The Giants won the toss but couldn't capitalize on their possession. The Colts took over, marched 80 yards in 12 plays, and sealed the victory with a touchdown, becoming the 1958 NFL champions.

But since the Heisman Trophy campaign continues, what does that mean for Daniels' Heisman Trophy odds, if anything?Plus, LSU women's basketball superstar Angel Reese makes her return to the team.

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels has been honored as the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award winner for the 2023 season. Johnny Unitas Jr., President of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation, says “the winner of the Golden Arm Award is recognized not only for his athletic accomplishments, but also for his character, citizenship, scholastic achievement, leadership qualities, and athletic abilities." Past winners include Joe Burrow, Andrew Luck, Matt Ryan, along with several other decorated and respected quarterbacks in football. But since the Heisman Trophy campaign continues, what does that mean for Daniels' Heisman Trophy odds, if anything? Plus, LSU women's basketball superstar Angel Reese makes her return to the team. She has been away from the team for the past two weeks however head coach Kim Mulkey is not willing to disclose the reason why she was away the team. But she makes her return at the perfect time as Mulkey's squad prepares for a top-ten matchup against the Virginia Tech Hokies on Thursday night. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Johnny Unitas is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. But once upon a time, the boy with the big hands and the golden arm was 6'1 and 140 pounds. He was told he was too "slight" to play high school football. He was rejected by Notre Dame. He was drafted, then cut from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was told he'd never make it in the NFL. Join us as we tell Johnny-U's incredible story – from pile driving to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This 1959 radio broadcast features an interview with Johnny Unitas, a professional American football player who was at the height of his career at the time. Unitas, known for his exceptional skill as a quarterback, played for the Baltimore Colts in the National Football League (NFL). His performance was instrumental in leading the Colts to victory in the 1958 NFL Championship, a game often referred to as "the Greatest Game Ever Played." the interview provides a unique opportunity to delve into the mind of one of the most influential figures in American football history, as well as to gain insight into the sport during a pivotal era.

In a sport like football that takes itself way too seriously, there is no place more sacrosanct than the position room. It's the place where players who play the same position and the specific coaches who lead them congregate to contemplate in the days leading up to that week's holy war. For the Ravens, who opened their 2023 season Sunday against the Houston Texans, their quarterbacks room looked different than any other quarterbacks room in the 103-year history of the National Football League. In that room are quarterbacks coach Tee Martin, assistant quarterbacks coach Kerry Dixon and signal callers Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley and Josh Johnson. The three players and the men who coach them are the pulse points of the most important position on the football field. That they are all Black is not insignificant. Sports sell themselves as meritocracies, where the only qualifications for success are that you be faster or stronger or occasionally smarter than your opponent. And no sport sells its alleged equality more than football, which regularly wraps itself in the American flag. It is the most popular American sport, by far, yet also the sport that has been the slowest to embrace racial progress. Football teams, be they collegiate or professional, have been glacier-like in moving to hire coaches of color. And until recently, the numbers of Black quarterbacks at either level have laughably low. But the times are changing. More Black young men are lining up behind center at major colleges than ever. And a record 14 Black quarterbacks started in this weekend's season opening NFL games. That's important, because of the prominence the position carries. It's the glamour spot of athletics, the most visible and highest profile place to be in all of American sports. And it has traditionally been dominated by White men, from Otto Graham and Sid Luckman in the early days through Johnny Unitas, Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw in the middle to Tom Brady more recently, the story of the NFL has historically been told through players of a certain color. These days, the highest profile quarterbacks are Patrick Mahomes, the two-time Super Bowl winner from Kansas City, Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts, whose Eagles were bested by Mahomes last February in the Super Bowl and the Ravens' Lamar Jackson. Jackson, who signed a monster five-year contract in the offseason after much hemming and hawing, is one of only two players in NFL history to win the Most Valuable Player trophy unanimously, Brady being the other. His ability to maneuver through traffic has made him one of the dynamic figures to watch in the league. That Lamar Jackson is coached by two Black men and backed up by two others is a big deal. It's presumably the first time in league history that a quarterback room has been completely filled by Black men. The moment was so meaningful that the Ravens sent out a photo of the five without much comment. For 2023, the Baltimore quarterback room will be the room where it happens. And that's how I see it for this week. You can reach us via email with your questions and comments at Sports at Large at gmail.com. And follow me on Twitter and Threads at Sports at Large. Until next week, for all of us here, I'm Milton Kent. Thanks for listening and enjoy the games.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Football History Dude is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARY****This is an FHD Vault episode (ep. 143), originally aired on 11/18/2020***This week I interview Bill Curry. He has lived an incredible "football life" as both a player and a coach. His life has even been referred to as the "Forrest Gump of the NFL" by some. For instance, he played for both Vince Lombardi, and Don Shula. If that's not enough, he was the center who snapped the ball to both Bart Starr, and then Johnny Unitas. Bill played in the very first Super Bowl. He won a total of 4 NFL championships and Super Bowls. He played in the famous Super Bowl III "Broadway Joe" game. Bill was an early leader with the NFLPA. He was the head coach at Alabama. These are just a few of his "stops" on the Forrest Gump journey, but the number one thing he shares is how he learned about teamwork and how football shaped his views on racism.Read the entire episode blog post and check out some other cool info regarding this episode here.Check out Bill's book - Ten Men You Meet in the Huddle: Lessons From a Football LifeTHE FOOTBALL HISTORY DUDE BACKGROUNDThe Football History Dude is a show dedicated to teaching NFL fans about the rich history of the game we all know and love.

Major championship winner Bobby Nichols tells us about learning the game, as a young man in Louisville, Kentucky, while caddying for $1.00 a loop. Hoping to be the next Johnny Unitas playing high school football, Bobby was in a horrific auto crash that put him the the hospital for 96 days. With the help of an inspirational letter from Ben Hogan, he not only survived but was awarded a college football scholarship by Bear Bryant to attend Texas A&M University. With no ability to continue in contact sports, Bobby played college golf there before turning professional in 1960. Bobby Nichols shares his early days, "FORE the Good of the Game."

Uncharted territory here, as Matt, Andrew and Boyd go on to play a round of Retro Fantasy Football in the 1960's. A decade that doesn't seem likely to support high scoring. However, some absolute lewns,s are at play here. Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Sonny Jurgensen and many more. Who goes where and gets a W this week?
