Community member Harvey Couch joins me for today's episode and we discuss strategies for using chips in History Maker Golf. If you are like me, you probably under-utilize the options for chip usage, so Harvey will join us to discuss his approach. We also take some time to talk about his history with tabletop sports and projects he is currently working on. We also mentioned a blog post from Keith Avallone on the Plaay Classic site and you can visit that article here: https://www.plaayclassic.com/blog/history-maker-golf-chip-usage-strategies Happy Thanksgiving to our United States listeners!

In 1984 they posted their best regular-season record in team history going 13-3, but again lost in the playoffs, this time to the Steelers. In 1985 they went 11-5 but failed to reach the playoffs. In 1986 they made it to their second Superbowl but lost to a stronger NY Giants team 39-20. They made it back to the Superbowl the following year but were beaten badly by the Washington Redskins 42-10. After a disappointing 8-8 record in 1988, they returned to the Superbowl in 1989 but suffered one of their most embarrassing defeats in team history–losing by a final score of 55-10. After a very poor season in 1990, they bounced back the following year and came very close to another shot at the Superbowl, but lost a very close game to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC title game. Despite all their past failures in post-season play, the Broncos went on to win the Superbowl three times........

On this episode of “When Football Was Football,” we'll take a look back at the remarkable career of defensive end Ed Sprinkle, a former member of the Chicago Bears, who is now enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. When we think of overpowering pass rushers, highly regarded names like Reggie White, Aaron Donald, Bruce Smith, and J.J. Watt pop up—big, quick, agile defenders who relied on both physical strength and keen intuition to trample over and around offensive blockers......

Yes indeed, Charm City has been blessed and cursed by the mythical professional football gods and now stands with one of the model franchises in the National Football League. It all began in 1947 when the Miami Seahawks of the All-American Football Conference folded, and a syndicate scrounged up enough money to bring them to Baltimore. After three seasons, the first iteration of the Baltimore Colts entered the NFL with the other remnants of the AAFC, only to fold after the 1950 season. The city proved they were not done with pro football when presented with the opportunity to be awarded the failed Dallas Texans franchise if they could sell 15,000 season tickets during the Christmas season. Mission accomplished, and the Baltimore Colts were reborn for 1953....... https://sportshistorynetwork.com/football/nfl/baltimore-football-history (READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE) Get ahttps://www.newspapers.com/freetrial/?xid=2229&duration=semiannual&subtype=extra&ft=true ( 1-week free trial )and learn about this week's topic from first-hand accounts at Newspapers.com.

The first film the Original Rocky was released in 1976 on a low shoestring budget and a short shooting schedule. Sylvester Stallone went to watch the March 24, 1975, Muhammad Ali KO15 Chuck Wepner on closed-circuit TV and the Rocky Balboa character was born.

ABOUT RINGSIDE WITH READING: BOXING HISTORY FROM YESTERYEAR I would like to announce The Podcast Show Ringside With Reading: Boxing History From Yesteryear brought to you by The Sports History Network. I am your host Frank Reading I am a middle-aged former boxing mega-fan from the 1980s-1990s. I have no allegiance or affiliation with any Boxing Organization Alliance or Federation. I have a background in research and public speaking as well as boxing training and coaching. I hope you will enjoy the factual information provided on this program. My goal is to educated and inform the listener on the History of "The Sweet Science" It will be available on The Sports History Network app and will air bi-weekly on Saturday. HOST: FRANK READING I am a researcher, public speaker, historian, Boxing History buff, a mega-fan from yesteryear amateur boxing, co-trainer, and worked with 2 golden gloves champions amongst several others. I became interested in boxing in the early to mid-1980s and was fascinated with the one-on-one competition. I trained for a little sparred several times but I was not that good and realized it. I took my interest in other aspects of the sport. Watching and analyzing fight moves styles and recording fights on television back in the days when every home had VCRs. I am a middle-aged man now and do not follow the sport closely anymore but during a time I was a super mega-fan and did not follow anything closely but The Sweet Science. I hope an interest will be brought to and appreciated through my contribution. I am a high school graduate who barely got through because I was not interested in the subject matter being taught. I work in the Private Contract Security field for over 30 years. I have been happily married for 16 years and have 2 stepdaughters. My wife's name is Erika and the daughters are Andrea and Elena.
