Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS HOME PAGEEPISODE SUMMARYWith the NFL about to begin its 107th season, I have a question for my followers. Among the 32 teams, which would you say has had the most success? I'm not asking which team had the best single season, the best decade, or the best dynasty. I'm talking about going all the way back to each team's first season and judging how well or poorly they have performed overall.There are many ways to calculate it, but I chose to keep it simple by basing it solely on the number of championships each team has won. The Green Bay Packers have won more titles than any other NFC team. They have won eleven NFL titles, three NFC titles, and four Super Bowl titles. Pretty impressive! But before you Packers fans start bragging, remember that your team has played 105 seasons and has not won a title in the past 25 years.The New England Patriots have won more titles than any other AFC team. They have won twelve AFC titles and six Super Bowl titles. However, unlike the Packers, they have existed for only 66 years.If we're going to be fair about this, we need to take into account how many years a team has existed and compare that to the number of titles it has won. We also need to determine what counts as a title and what doesn't.I had a difficult time deciding whether to count titles won between 1920 and 1932. I wasn't going to at first, for two reasons. #1 — There wasn't a title game during those thirteen seasons. The title was awarded to the team with the best record. #2 — Most of the teams that played during that time didn't last long. The Akron Pros, who won the first NFL title (then called the American Professional Football Association), lasted only seven seasons before folding. The Canton Bulldogs, who won the NFL title in 1922 and 1923, folded after six seasons. The 1924 Champion Cleveland Bulldogs lasted only four seasons. The 1926 Champion Frankford Yellow Jackets disbanded after eight seasons. The Providence Steam Roller lasted seven seasons and won the NFL title in 1928.Ultimately, I changed my mind and decided to include the titles awarded from 1920 to 1932. I am also including the Cleveland Browns' four All-American Football Conference titles won between 1946 and 1949. Some may think those titles should not be included, but I disagree. The Browns proved those titles were legitimate by reaching the NFL title game for the next six seasons, winning three of them. I will also include all AFL titles won between 1960 and 1969, and all NFL titles won between 1933 and 1969. All AFC and NFC titles will also be included. Every title, other than the Super Bowl, will count as one point. All Super Bowl victories count as two points. This is because it is more difficult to win a Super Bowl than the aforementioned titles. I will then take the total number of points and divide it by the number of years the team has existed.I considered awarding a quarter or half a point for each appearance in a title game, but decided it would make things more complicated than necessary.I will start at #34 and work my way down to #1. How did I get 34, you ask? I am counting the current Cleveland Browns and the original Browns as two separate teams. I am also counting the Baltimore Ravens as two separate teams, one that began in 1996 and the original Cleveland Browns.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.

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
What happens to spirituality when belief in traditional religion falls away? Can ritual, mysticism, awe, contemplation, divination, sacred stories and experiences of transcendence still have value without requiring supernatural explanations?Britt Hartley is a religious deconstruction educator, author, and atheist spiritual director who helps people rebuild meaning, identity, and family culture after faith. She is the author of No Nonsense Spirituality and a doctoral student whose work explores existential crisis, secular spirituality, and life beyond traditional religion.In this livestream, we will explore Britt's concept of secular spirituality and her attempt to navigate a fascinating middle ground between organised religion, atheistic scepticism and contemporary alternative spirituality. We will discuss religious deconstruction, nihilism, meaning-making, mysticism, ritual and the psychology of spiritual experience, as well as the question of whether practices traditionally associated with religion and the occult can remain meaningful when their supernatural interpretations are suspended.We will also venture into some particularly interesting territory for Angela's Symposium: astrology, Tarot, psychedelics, intuition, altered states of consciousness, the Divine Feminine, cognitive bias, the relationship between mystical experience and metaphysical claims, and Britt's distinction between useful spiritual tools and what she describes as “woo”.GET THE BOOKUS https://amzn.to/4c8e3i2UK https://link.amazon/B02qi3ynVMY COURSES
Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS HOME PAGEEPISODE SUMMARYMark sits down with Scott Perry, author of NFL Since 1970: The Ultimate Visual and Historic Standings Reference.The Journey to NFL Fanaticism Scott shares his remarkable journey from being indifferent about football to becoming a devoted fan. It all began in 1978 when he discovered “Inside the NFL,” igniting a passion that would only grow.Scott - "If it wasn't for Ed and Steve Sable, I probably would have still no interest in it. The hard pounding orchestral music, the slow motion video made me a fan." Scott's fascination deepened as he meticulously tracked every NFL game from 1970 onwards, culminating in his visual guide that showcases standings and playoff grids alongside team helmets. His book serves as both a nostalgic walkthrough of the NFL's past and a reminder of how far the league has come.The Heartbreak of 1985One poignant moment in Scott's fandom was the 1985 season, where the Denver Broncos finished with an impressive 11-5 record yet failed to make the playoffs. Scott - "The last straw was when Cleveland was in the playoffs with an 8-8 record, and Denver sat home with 11 wins." This heartbreaking experience fueled his drive to analyze the league's performance and the inequalities in playoff qualifications, especially regarding division winners versus wild card teams.A Love for HistoryScott's passion for football history extends beyond the NFL. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the game's roots, from the early days of the league to the present. Scott - "It's funny that there are several major league baseball teams that have been around since prior to 1900, but there's only been one triple-A team since then." Scott urges football fans to appreciate the sport's evolution and the historical context behind each game.Wrapping Up Scott Perry's insights into the NFL are both informative and engaging, reminding us of the rich narratives that shape our favorite sports. His book is a testament to the enduring spirit of football and its impact on fans across generations.

Many executives trying to find jobs in Japan rely on passive tactics—applying on LinkedIn, meeting recruiters, and polite networking, then get frustrated when nothing happens, despite market claims of talent shortages. David Sweet explains that most job-search advice is built for mid-management, while executive search firms and recruiters primarily serve client mandates, often resulting in “crickets” for candidates; LinkedIn applications also rarely reach decision-makers. Instead, executives should stop waiting to be rescued and run their search like B2B sales: build a strategy and target list of 40–50 companies (dream firms, PE-backed growth, APAC HQs, market entrants), research via chambers, trade shows and media, then reach out directly to presidents and senior leaders with a research-focused message. Use meetings to learn needs, competitors, and expand networks, staying patient given fewer senior roles.The 2026 FocusCore Salary Guide is here: 2026 Salary GuideIn this episode you will hear:Move beyond mid-management job search strategiesCraft a list of dream companies and take the direct approachUtilize resources like chambers and trade shows for in-depth researchEngage executives in meaningful dialogue, not just job requestsDavid Sweet Bio:David Sweet is the Founder and CEO of FocusCore Japan, based in Tokyo.

They reached the Finals again in 1959 but lost to the Celtics.The Lakers moved to LA before the start of the 1960-1961 season. They reached the NBA Finals again in 1962 and 1963, but lost to the Celtics both times. They also lost to Boston in 1965, 66, 68, and 69. In 1970, they lost to the New York Knicks. From 1955 to 1971, the Lakers made the postseason every year except in 1958, but they did not win an NBA title. Would 1972 finally be the year?Many doubted it. For starters, forward Elgin Baylor, widely regarded as one of the NBA's best players, retired nine games into the season. Center Wilt Chamberlain was 35 and, while still dominant, was showing signs of slowing down. Guard Jerry West was 33 and returning from a torn knee ligament. Before the start of the season, Bill Sharman, a former Celtics player, was named head coach. The starting lineup featured Chamberlain at center, West and Gale Goodrich at guard, and Jim McMillian and Happy Hairston at forward.....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.

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS HOME PAGEEPISODE SUMMARYI recently heard a weightlifting coach say that overtraining doesn't exist. That's a very broad statement to make. I know for a fact that overtraining exists because I was a victim of it. I overtrained for many years, believing the more you trained, the more progress you would make. I was wrong, and I suffered a severe case of tendonitis because of it.And just as bad, I probably didn't make as much progress as I would have had common sense guided my training.Don't get me wrong! I'm not saying you shouldn't train hard. I'm all for training hard, but not to the point where you're risking injury. The key is to know when enough is enough.How do you know when that is?

With new head coach Alex Golesh bringing a no-nonsense, results-driven mindset to the Plains, the Tigers appear to be turning a corner at exactly the right time.

This decade marked a period of unparalleled dominance where George Halas built a juggernaut that defined professional football. From the historic 73-0 dismantling of the Washington Redskins in the 1940 Championship to the innovative T-formation that revolutionized the game, Mark explores how the Bears captured four NFL titles and appeared in five championship games, cementing their status as the league's premier dynasty.We dive deep into the storied careers of Hall of Famers like Sid Luckman, the quarterback who transformed the passing game, and the versatile George McAfee, whose explosive speed made him a threat every time he touched the ball. Listen as Mark recounts the "Golden Era" stars—from the bruising Bronko Nagurski to the ball-hawking Bulldog Turner—and examine how the team navigated the challenges of World War II, including the emotional backdrop of the Pearl Harbor attack and the player shortages that forced legends out of retirement.This 3-part series is a nostalgic journey through a decade where the Bears averaged nearly nine wins a season and turned Wrigley Field into a fortress of football excellence. Whether it's the fierce rivalry with the Green Bay Packers or the heartbreaking season finales against the cross-town Cardinals, we bring the 1940s back to life with vivid detail. Relive the stats, the stories, and the sheer dominance of a team that ended the decade with a staggering 86-23-3 record, proving they were truly the kings of the gridiron.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.

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS HOME PAGEEPISODE SUMMARYLISTEN TO THE NY GIANTS: A TEAM WITHOUT A HOMEIn the conclusion of this special two-part series, Joe Santos (creator of The NY Giants: A Team Without a Home) returns to join Mark Morthier and Dave DePaola for a nostalgic look at the end of the Giants' "exile" and the birth of a new era. While Part 1 focused on the splinters of the Yale Bowl, Part 2 brings the story back to New Jersey.The guys share personal memories of watching Giants Stadium rise from the swamps of East Rutherford—a sight that defined the childhood of many local fans. From the urban legends of Jimmy Hoffa buried under the end zone to the logistical "leverage" plays used by modern owners, this episode bridges the gap between the struggling 70s squad and the powerhouse franchise the Giants would eventually become.The conversation shifts from the field to the stands, exploring the unique culture of NFL fandom in the 70s and 80s. You'll hear about the days when a Giants season ticket was a family heirloom, passed down through generations like a deed to property. The trio reminisces about the evolution of the "fan experience"—comparing the non-existent tailgating of the Bronx to the legendary parking lot parties in the Meadowlands.They also take a deep dive into the "Style of the Game," discussing the iconic (and sometimes controversial) logo changes, from the "Disco NY" of 1975 to the classic lowercase "ny" that fans still crave today.To wrap up, the hosts exchange "I was there" stories involving some of the biggest names in sports history. Relive the halftime ceremony where a "high as a kite" Lawrence Taylor caught passes from Phil Simms in dress shoes, and hear a classic anecdote about Otis Anderson's superstitious refusal to wash his lucky practice pants after the Super Bowl.Whether it's the booming voices of Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshire or the accuracy of Sonny Jurgensen, this episode is a celebration of the characters, the quirks, and the deep-seated loyalty that define the New York Giants' legacy.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.

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS HOME PAGEEPISODE SUMMARYLISTEN TO THE NY GIANTS: A TEAM WITHOUT A HOMERelive the "forgotten years" of Big Blue in this deep dive into one of the most tumultuous eras in New York Giants history. Joe Santos, creator of the documentary podcast The NY Giants: A Team Without a Home, joins Mark Morthier and Dave DePaola to recount the bizarre saga of 1973 through 1975.From being "evicted" by Mayor John Lindsay to playing home games 80 miles away at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, the guys explore how a promising 1972 squad collapsed into a 2-11-1 disaster. You'll hear about the logistical nightmares of practicing in Jersey City while playing in Connecticut, and the political friction that left the Giants feeling like second-class citizens in their own backyard.The conversation is packed with "I was there" nostalgia, covering the infamous 1974 regular-season overtime loss to Joe Namath and the Jets, where Broadway Joe famously "walked" into the end zone. The trio reminisces about the rugged conditions of the Yale Bowl—from the splinter-filled wooden benches and the absence of stadium lights to the tiny "snow fence" that served as the only barrier between fans and the gridiron.They also break down the personnel moves that defined the era, including the ill-fated Fran Tarkenton trade, the decline of workhorse Ron Johnson, and the defensive core of Brad Van Pelt and Jack Gregory that tried to hold it all together during the lean years before the Ray Perkins/George Young revolution.Beyond the stats, this episode captures the unique fan experience of the 1970s—the all-day bus and train pilgrimages to New Haven, the freezing rain of the 1974 finale against the Vikings, and the eventual move to Shea Stadium in 1975.Whether you remember shivering in the Yale Bowl stands or watching the highlights on NFL Game of the Week, this trip down memory lane explores the grit, the frustration, and the enduring loyalty of Giants fans during a decade of displacement. Stick around for part two as the guys continue to unravel the history of the team that eventually found its soul (and its trophies) in the Meadowlands.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.

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS HOME PAGEEPISODE SUMMARYIn the conclusion of our deep dive into the Ali-Norton trilogy, Mark and Dave head to the newly refurbished Yankee Stadium in September 1976. This 15-round championship battle took place against the backdrop of a "burning" Bronx, where the atmosphere outside the ring was as volatile as the action inside.They discuss the controversial unanimous decision that went Ali's way—a result that left Norton visibly devastated and many ringside observers, including the hosts, convinced that the challenger had been robbed of the heavyweight crown. They analyze the scoring round-by-round, exploring how Ali's "mystique" and his ability to dance on his toes might have influenced the judges even when he wasn't landing the more effective punches.The episode then expands into a broader reflection on the heavyweight division's golden era and the technical mastery of Ken Norton. They compare the Ali-Norton rivalry to the Ali-Frazier wars, noting that while Frazier was a straightforward physical force, Norton's unorthodox style remained a puzzle Ali never truly solved.They also touch on the heartbreaking later years of Norton's life, clarifying the misconceptions regarding his health and the 1986 car accident that affected his speech. The discussion honors Norton not just as a "sparring partner," but as a highly intelligent, college-educated athlete who Larry Holmes later cited as the toughest opponent of his own legendary career.They wrap up this trip down memory lane by wandering into the "yesteryear" of legendary stadiums and the NFL of the late 70s. From the nostalgia of watching Tony Dorsett's debut in the crisp 1977 footage of Metropolitan Stadium to the "primitive" charm of Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, we evoke the sights and sounds of a bygone era.They trade stories about the Giants at Yankee Stadium, the golden voice of John Facenda, and the era of "no fat Dallas Cowboys." It's a heartfelt tribute to the sports heroes and hallowed grounds that shaped our youth, reminding listeners why these stories still resonate so strongly today.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.
