[An essential fan favorite from 2018 - with the dean of "forgotten sports" promotion!] If someone ever decides to build an American sports promotion Hall of Fame, the inaugural class will undoubtedly be led by this week's special guest, Doug Verb. In a career spanning more than 40 years in professional sports management, Verb's remarkable career has included spearheading marketing, promotion, publicity, and television for some of the most innovative and memorable leagues and franchises of the modern era. One of the founding executives of both the pioneering Major Indoor Soccer League (along with sports entrepreneurs Earl Foreman, Ed Tepper, and previous podcast guest Dr. Joe Machnik), and the frenetic Arena Football League (with the sport's inventor [and past two-part guest] Jim Foster), Verb additionally served as president of pro soccer's legendary Chicago Sting from 1982-86 – which, incredibly, drifted between playing in two separate leagues during his tenure (for one year, simultaneously) – the outdoor North American Soccer League and the indoor MISL. In our longest and more anecdote-filled episode to date, Verb vividly recounts the highs and lows of launching new teams, leagues and even sports themselves from whole cloth – with nary an operational blueprint or career roadmap to be found. Buckle up for a wild ride through the woeful 1976 NASL Philadelphia Atoms, the “Rocket Red” pinball-like MISL, soccer for all seasons in the Windy City, and birthing indoor football. PLUS: Kiddie City to the rescue; Earl Foreman's “Brother-in-Law Effect;” getting paid in soybeans; and the curious one-game history of the Liberty Basketball Association! + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY SPONSOR THANKS: Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

This week, we're reading the 2022 Human Target limited series by Tom King and Greg Smallwood. You'll remember how much we love Tom King from multiple previous episodes like Mr. Miracle and Superman Woman of Tomorrow. In this latest series, Christopher Chance, aka the Human Target, is on his latest cases protecting Lex Luthor when things go sideways. An assassination attempt Chance didn't see coming leaves him vulnerable and left trying to solve his own murder, as he has 12 days to discover just who in the DC Universe hated Luthor enough to want him dead by slow-acting poison. And the prime suspects happen to be…the Justice League International? In this hard-boiled, seemingly detective noir story Chance find himself interrogating the cast of characters from the famed 1987 series by Keith Giffen. We're talking Ice, Fire, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, G'Nort, Martian Manhunter, Rocket Red, and even...the shadow of the Batman. There are twists and turns, a little bit of love-making, and a whole lot of drinking.

It was reported yesterday that a Russian missile hit Poland, a NATO-backed country, however, it was announced today that the explosive weapon in question was not fired by Russia but by Ukraine. Due to the volatility and high tensions precipitated by this incident, the blame was placed solely on Vladimir Putin for starting the war in the first place. The timing of this questionable event is creating fear of a pre-emptive nuclear strike and WWIII. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with military strategist, James Ponder about DR.
