    107. 1976 Swimsuit Issue and what it's worth today w/Mark Humphries

    The January 19, 1976 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue marked another glossy step in a tradition that had begun almost accidentally a little more than a decade earlier. What started in 1964 as a winter stopgap—filling pages when sports calendars were thin—had evolved into a cultural event, blending fashion, fantasy, and far-flung travel. This '76 edition leaned hard into escapism, taking readers to Baja Mexico, where sunshine, surf, and sequins replaced box scores. The swimsuits themselves reflected the era: metallic fabrics, daring cuts, and a growing emphasis on glamour over athletic utility—a far cry from the functional swimwear once seen on Olympic pools and beaches alike. The cover perfectly captured that shift. Swedish twins Yvonne and Yvette Sylvander shimmered under the Baja sun, embodying the issue's theme, “Taking a Shine to a Resort with New Glitter.” Inside were familiar faces who would soon define the genre—Cheryl Tiegs, Christie Brinkley, and others who became icons not just of the Swimsuit Issue, but of 1970s popular culture itself. For many readers of a certain generation, these images weren't just pinups—they were part of the shared visual language of growing up with Sports Illustrated, when the magazine felt like a weekly companion arriving in the mailbox. And while nostalgia drives the emotional connection, there's another side to these old issues of SI: their growing significance as collectibles. That's where Mark Humphries comes in. Growing up in La Cañada, California, Mark's sports education began with secondhand copies of Sports Illustrated, pages already creased, corners bent—but endlessly fascinating. That early fascination carried him through Stanford, Wall Street, and eventually back to the hobby he loved, where he became a pioneer in treating Sports Illustrated magazines as serious collectibles—worthy of grading, encapsulation, and long-term value, just like cards. As founder of the first grading system for past issues of Sports Illustrated, owner of ThePit.com, and now a contributor to PSA Magazine, Humphries has helped redefine how collectors view vintage issues. While not every Swimsuit Issue is destined to fund a retirement, condition, cover subjects, and historical context matter—and early, iconic editions continue to gain traction. In that sense, the 1976 Swimsuit Issue sits at the intersection of memory and market value: a snapshot of an era when Sports Illustrated shaped culture, sparked conversations, and—sometimes without meaning to—created artifacts that still matter, decades later.

    A staunch Matt Lafleur defender hits the breaking point. After years of pushing back against emotional fan reactions and demands to fire the coach, the evidence from Saturday's playoff collapse against Chicago has become impossible to ignore. This episode examines what happens when analytical thinking meets undeniable reality. The discussion explores the psychological concept of "need for cognitive closure"—why fans rush to definitive answers—while acknowledging that sometimes the stopped clock is finally right. From Bill Huber's scathing Sports Illustrated piece to James Jones admitting "his seat just got real hot," the media consensus has shifted dramatically. Former players are calling out the team's lack of heart, effort, and basic football fundamentals in the biggest moments. The contrast with Ben Johnson's Bears—a team with inferior talent but superior belief—raises uncomfortable questions about culture, motivation, and what exactly is missing in Green Bay. With Ed Policy watching the meltdown from the Soldier Field press box, the "easy decision" has flipped: keeping Lafleur now requires more courage than letting him go.

    Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych explores the question so many people are quietly asking: What's my purpose in life? Rather than offering a quick answer or career advice, this episode looks at why purpose feels so elusive right now, why so many people feel disconnected even when life looks "right" on paper, and how purpose actually emerges through small, embodied signals rather than logic or pressure. Drawing on cultural trends, a powerful statistic about meaning and direction, and the film Amélie as a metaphor, Heather explains why ignoring subtle inner cues leads to burnout and dissatisfaction, and how listening to what genuinely feels right can restore clarity, energy, and a sense of alignment. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, questioning their direction, or sensing that something important is trying to surface beneath the noise. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company. Heather's first book, The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility, has sold thousands of copies worldwide, and her writing has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Yoga Journal, and the Sunday Independent.

    The 1975 Dallas Cowboys were a good organization led by General Manger Tex Schramm, Head Coach Tom Landry, and Quarterback Roger Staubach. But they were about to become a part of the sports world that 50 years later, love 'em or hate 'em, has stood the test of time. After beating the Minnesota Vikings in a playoff game on the original Hail Mary pass from Staubach to Drew Pearson, they were now America's Team.  They were original, and they were innovative but mostly, they were just good. Lining up in shotgun, Roger the Dodger had his choice of weapons, and more often than not on 3rd downs, he would throw to #26 out of the backfield, Preston Pearson. The "other" Pearson, Preston had a big game against the Vikings. In fact, the man who never played college football, had a habit of having big games when they mattered most, and being on the field when the games were being decided. So despite the fact that it was Drew Pearson who caught the winning prayer vs the Vikes, it was Preston who was on the cover of the first issue of Sports Illustrated in 1976. The 14-year NFL veteran showed off his hops on that cover and said he had a pretty good game in that playoff win for the Cowboys. A week later, he had 3 touchdowns against the Rams that propelled the Boys to the Super Bowl. Preston takes us inside the huddle and tells us what it was like on that final winning drive for Dallas that included a 4th and 17 before Staubach and Drew Pearson hooked up again for that miraculous finish. He says despite being on the Steelers when they beat the Raiders on the 'Immaculate Reception', that this play is the biggest of his career. He remembers what it was like to lose Super Bowl III to Joe Namath and the Jets when he was on the Colts.  The original 3rd down back, Preston Pearson made the most out of his talent and became an integral part of those great Dallas teams and he joins us on the Past Our Prime podcast to tell us what it was like when Dallas turned from the Cowboys into America's Team.

    From her start playing paddle tennis on the streets of Harlem as a young teenager to her eleven Grand Slam tennis wins to her professional golf career, Althea Gibson became the most famous black sportswoman of the mid-twentieth century. In her unprecedented athletic career, she was the first African American to win titles at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. In this comprehensive biography, Ashley Brown narrates the public career and private struggles of Althea Gibson (1927-2003). Based on extensive archival work and oral histories, Serving Herself: The Life and Times of Althea Gibson (Oxford UP, 2023) sets Gibson's life and choices against the backdrop of the Great Migration, Jim Crow racism, the integration of American sports, the civil rights movement, the Cold War, and second wave feminism. Throughout her life Gibson continuously negotiated the expectations of her supporters and adversaries, including her patrons in the black-led American Tennis Association, the white-led United States Lawn Tennis Association, and the media, particularly the Black press and community's expectations that she selflessly serve as a representative of her race.  An incredibly talented, ultra-competitive, and not always likeable athlete, Gibson wanted to be treated as an individual first and foremost, not as a member of a specific race or gender. She was reluctant to speak openly about the indignities and prejudices she navigated as an African American woman, though she faced numerous institutional and societal barriers in achieving her goals. She frequently bucked conventional norms of femininity and put her career ahead of romantic relationships, making her personal life the subject of constant scrutiny and rumors. Despite her major wins and international recognition, including a ticker tape parade in New York City and the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time, Gibson endeavored to find commercial sponsorship and permanent economic stability. Committed to self-sufficiency, she pivoted from the elite amateur tennis circuit to State Department-sponsored goodwill tours, attempts to find success as a singer and Hollywood actress, the professional golf circuit, a tour with the Harlem Globetrotters and her own professional tennis tour, coaching, teaching children at tennis clinics, and a stint as New Jersey Athletics Commissioner. As she struggled to support herself in old age, she was left with disappointment, recounting her past achievements decades before female tennis players were able to garner substantial earnings. A compelling life and times portrait, Serving Herself offers a revealing look at the rise and fall of a fiercely independent trailblazer who satisfied her own needs and simultaneously set a pathbreaking course for Black athletes.

    Rebecca's favourite episode of 2025 is “The 'Ten Cent Beer Night' Riot”. Twice the usual crowd turned up to see the Cleveland Indians take on the Texas Rangers on June 4th, 1974 - drawn in not by the baseball match, but by an innovative promotion: for just 10 cents, fans could grab 10 ounces of beer. The lines never stopped, as fans circled back, drank in line, and kept the buzz going. Tensions were high, as this was a rematch with the Texas Rangers following a brawl. Fans cheered when a Rangers player got injured, and started throwing trash, rocks, and batteries onto the field. Then came a full-on invasion: around 200 fans, some armed with chains and chunks of stadium seats, rushed the pitch. Players fought to protect each other. The umpire, bleeding from a thrown rock and narrowly missed by a knife, finally called it: game over. Cleveland forfeited. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Cleveland's ill-advised 10 cent beer promotion came to be; unpick what the baseball players were thinking, as they were dashed back to a hotel for their safety; and marvel at the gratuitous nudity on the pitch, in the golden age of 70s streaking… Further Reading: • ‘A mistake by the lake: Remembering the 10-cent Beer Night riot' (Sports Illustrated, 2013): https://www.si.com/mlb/2013/06/04/mistake-lake-remembering-10-cent-beer-night-riot • ‘10 Cent Beer Night: An Oral History of Cleveland Baseball's Most Infamous Night' (Cleveland Magazine, 2024): https://clevelandmagazine.com/in-the-cle/sports/articles/10-cent-beer-night-an-oral-history-of-cleveland-baseball's-most-infamous-night • ‘10-Cent Beer Night: A look back' (Sports & Extras Network, 2014): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFtR38Mlscc #Sport #Mistakes #70s #Strange Love the show?

    From The Gridiron to Visionary Photographer: Tony Mandarich reinvents greatnessSome careers define chapters. Others rewrite entire stories.In this episode of The Travel Wins, I sit down with Tony Mandarich — known first to the world as a powerhouse offensive lineman, and now celebrated as a bold, imaginative photographer based in Arizona. His journey from the roar of football stadiums to the quiet precision of the studio is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless curiosity.Tony has always believed that true greatness lies beyond the comfort zone — that exceptional accomplishments demand the courage to explore uncharted territory. That belief took root early. During the mid-1980s at Michigan State University, he became a dominant force on the field, earning All-American honors twice and being named Big Ten Lineman of the Year in both 1987 and 1988. His team claimed the Big Ten Championship and the 1988 Rose Bowl title, cementing his place in college football history.Drafted second overall in the 1989 NFL Draft, Tony spent four seasons with the Green Bay Packers and three with the Indianapolis Colts. But even while football consumed his life, another spark quietly ignited.In 1989, during a Sports Illustrated photoshoot in Venice Beach, Tony discovered something unexpected: a fascination with the art of photography — specifically, the way light could be shaped, bent, and sculpted to create emotion. That moment planted a seed that would eventually transform his second act.After retiring from football in 1999, Tony devoted himself to mastering the craft. He didn't rush. He studied. Experimented. Failed. Improved. Over time, his photography evolved into a distinct visual signature — a combination of technical precision and imaginative storytelling that captured the attention of art directors, advertising agencies, and digital marketers across the country.Today, Tony is known for his striking composite photography, seamlessly blending people and backgrounds to create images that feel cinematic, surreal, and deeply human. His willingness to embrace new tools — including emerging AI creative technologies — shows the same spirit that once drove him on the field: adapt, learn, and push the boundaries further.What I loved most about our conversation wasn't just his success — it was his humility, honesty, and openness about reinvention. Tony reminds us that you can build an extraordinary second chapter, no matter where your first one began.Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, athlete, or traveler searching for your next direction, Tony's story proves that growth lives on the other side of curiosity.
