Retired Steelers Linebacker, Arthur Moats, starts the show opening the phone lines to Steelers Nation to hear their thoughts on Mike McCarthy being named as Head Coach of the Steelers! Moats is then joined by Steelers alumni, Terence Garvin, to discuss the Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy as Head Coach, recap the NFL Championship playoff round plus more!
Czabe flies solo today with a loaded agenda. First up: the absurdity of making Shedeur Sanders—now somehow the martyr of the 2025 NFL Draft—a Pro Bowl Games alternate at QB. Things get taken away as you get older. It's a fact of life, and Southwest Airlines just proved it with their final open-seating flight now in the books. Paul Allen bends the knee, but it won't be enough. A hard truth: the Easter Bunny is fake, but paid protestors are real. Did an NFL poster actually foretell this year's Super Bowl LIX matchup? Neutral-site NFL Championship games are a completely horrible idea, which naturally means Mike Florio is all for them.

Pats and Hawks rematch otw, McCarthy to Pitt, happy anniversary to the wife
CBS Sports' Will Brinson joins the show to recap everything from yesterday's NFL Championship games.
The problems in Minneapolis are created by leaders that are more than willing to sacrifice their own voters going to prison, getting injured or in extreme cases of attacking federal agents, getting killed. How is it that democrats break the law and act like those laws shouldn't be followed... and somehow that inspires people? This whole thing is insane. Maybe not as insane as the man that climbed a skyscraper with no ropes or safety devices, live on Netflix. Wow was this hard to watch. KU closes strong to beat a really awful KSU team as we predicted they would. But the huge celebration was a little beneath their once great status. Mizzou made history with a pair of buzzer beaters in a wild win over OU. Two former high school athletes from KC made huge news with the best game by a college player this year while the other make the Olympic bobsled team. And Stan has a few minutes for us today to talk about Andy Reid's coaching hires and the NFL Championship games from Sunday.
Kevin, Cory, and Jett take a look at the biggest questions after the NFL Championship games.
Bill and Jamal talk NFL Final Four, head coaching upheaval, Kevin Stefanski to Atlanta, Black resilience, Indiana's National Championship run, Fernando Mendoza, Shedeur Sanders, Eric Bieniemy, the Pegulas, Keon Coleman and more.

Ordinary Guys Extraordinary Wealth: Real Estate Investing and Passive Income Tactics
In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam and Lucas have a mindset-driven conversation about the hidden cost of holding on—to habits, beliefs, strategies, and even old versions of yourself that no longer serve where you're trying to go.They unpack why real progress and growth often come not from doing more, chasing more deals, or consuming more information—but from saying no to the wrong things and intentionally eliminating negative forces. The guys talk through how fear often disguises itself as logic, why comfort can quietly stall momentum, and what it really takes to let go of outdated identities so you can step into the next level personally and professionally.Then things get fun with a rapid-fire “Keep or Kill” game, where they debate a wide range of topics. Expect honest takes, nuance, and a few strong opinions.They wrap the episode with football talk—reacting to the College Football National Championship and previewing the NFL Conference Championship matchups, breaking down what stood out and what they're watching as the Super Bowl picture comes into focus.From mindset and personal growth to real estate philosophy to football, this episode blends reflection, clarity, and conversation designed to help you move forward by letting go of what's holding you back.FasterFreedom Capital Connection: https://fasterfreedomcapital.comFree Rental Investment Training: https://freerentalwebinar.com

They played in four NFL Championship games, winning three of them. They also appeared in two AFC Championship games, winning one, and played in two Super Bowls, winning one.

In 1973, they went 4–10; in 1974, they were 2–12.

The best team in the NFL in the 60's was Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers. They won NFL Championships in 1961, 1962 & 1965 and the first two Super Bowls in 1966 and 1967. They were littered with future Hall of Famers throughout the roster including Jim Taylor, Forrest Gregg, Ray Nitschke, Herb Adderley, Willie Davis, Jim Ringo, Paul Horning and Willie Wood… but the leader of that team was the QB, Bart Starr who guided the team to those 5 titles in 7 years. The Hall of Fame QB was now back in Green Bay as the coach and GM trying to revitalize an organization that hadn't seen much success since Starr retired prior to the 1972 season. He didn't want to be seen as the savior and was not comfortable being on the cover of Sports Illustrated, but that's right where he was on the 25th of August 1975. For Starr, his 9 years back in Green Bay as the head coach could never replicate what he had done as a player a decade earlier. And that surprised some of his former teammates who thought Starr would have tremendous success as a coach. And that included the man who snapped the ball to Starr for two seasons… The 1965 NFL Championship season as well as the win in the first Super Bowl played against the Chiefs. Bill Curry was as close to Starr as you could be as a player with Starr lining up over center for those two seasons. Now, 60 years later, Curry looks back on those years playing alongside Starr as a rookie and how the veteran quarterback welcomed him to the team and paved the way for a lifelong friendship. Curry would go on to quite an NFL career himself becoming a 2-time Pro Bowl Center with the Colts and winning not only that first SB with the Packers, but another with Baltimore in Super Bowl 5. And when his playing days were over, he worked with Starr on his staff as an offensive line coach before taking the head coaching job at Georgia Tech in 1980. After 6 years with the Rambling Wreck, he went to Bama and guided the Crimson Tide for three seasons before going to Kentucky for 7 seasons and ending his coaching career at Georgia State in 2012. Drafted in the 20th round as an undersized center out of Georgia Tech, Curry was a fish out of water in Green Bay in the summer of '65 until encounters with both Bart Starr and the captain of the defense, Willie Davis changed his life. As Curry puts it, “Unexpected, undeserved, unrewarded acts of kindness change lives.” And they changed his for sure. He talks glowingly about his time in Green Bay and how he fell in love with the community that is like no there in the country. He tells us on the Past Our Prime podcast how Starr became a mentor and Wiilie Davis a man he came to respect like no other. And he talks about how forgiveness can set you free… something Coach Lombardi did for him on his death bed. Every once in a while you come across someone who instantly makes your life better. For Curry, that was Bart Starr in 1965. And 60 years later, Curry is paying that forward making an impact on the lives of people he comes in contact with… or in our case, talks with, every day. A powerful, inspirational conversation with a man who was a part of the most legendary football team ever assembled… The 1960's Green Bay Packers. Bill Curry on the Past Our Prime podcast.

The focal point of our discourse in this episode revolves around the extraordinary and multifaceted career of Charlie Berry, a unique figure in the annals of American sports history. Berry's exceptional achievements encompass his participation as both a player in Major League Baseball and the National Football League, as well as his subsequent roles as a prominent umpire and official in both sports. Throughout our exploration, we delve into the nuances of his career, which includes his notable contributions to the 1925 Pottsville Maroons, a team that, despite its championship aspirations, faced a controversial fate. Additionally, we examine Berry's remarkable tenure as a baseball umpire, where he officiated landmark events, such as Don Larson's perfect game in the World Series and the famed 1958 NFL Championship, often hailed as the greatest game ever played. As we progress, we aim to illuminate the significance of Charlie Berry's legacy, which, despite its obscurity in contemporary discourse, remains a testament to the rich tapestry of sports history.Companies mentioned in this episode: Sports History Network Sports Forgotten Heroes Charlie Berry Cal Hubbard Pro Football Hall of Fame Baseball Hall of Fame Pottsville Maroons Don Larson New York Giants Baltimore Colts Philadelphia Athletics Boston Red Sox Chicago White Sox Eager Sculpture Ingersoll Rand Mentioned in this episode:Sports History Network Theme SongThis theme song was produced by Ron "Tyke" Oliver of Music Meets Sportz https://sites.google.com/view/sportsfanztastic?usp=sharing
