Lombardi MemoriesA podcast covering the stories behind each Super Bowl, one episode at a time. Author: Sports History Network
It's time... for Lombardi Memories.A show that takes you back in time, into January or February, to the greatest one-day spectacle in all of sports. This is the every-other-Tuesday podcast that looks back at each and every one of the 50-plus Super Bowls and tells the story of who wonand why. For the fan who needs more than just a boxscore, this podcast goes drive-by-drive, play-by-play through the most dramatic games in history. Every two weeks, we will take a deep dive into a Super Bowl from days past, starting at the first and continuing through 55. Relive all the big plays, record-setting performances, and famous follies. This podcast will give great attention to detail. How did the teams get down the field to be able to score? What were the big defensive plays that prevented scores? And what plays, should they happened differently, would have affected pro football history? This show also has a school theme. Every episode will start with a pop quiz, where I ask a trivia question related to the Super Bowl. I will also give homework. It's fun homework, though. I will tell you which books to read that are related to the episode's Super Bowl. These are books you'll want to check out at the library or buy on Amazon. So, join me every 2 weeks starting on Tuesday, November 3rd! Language: en Genres: Football, History, Sports Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |

The Patriots: From Boston to Foxboro (Presented by the Sports History Network) - The Patriots: From Boston to Foxboro
Monday, 13 July, 2026
This podcast is part of the Sports History Network - the headquarters of sports' yesteryear.SHOW DESCRIPTION:These days, the New England Patriots are often thought of as one of the elite teams in the NFL. However, that hasn’t always been the case, especially during the team’s infancy, when they were a charter member of the upstart AFL and chaos and confusion often reigned. The Patriots of the 60s and early 70s were a transient team and played its home games in no less than 5 different stadiums. The Pats also cycled thru its head coaches quite frequently back then and one coach in particular is often remembered as the one who best epitomized the team’s failings during this time. In this 4-part series, we will take a look at the team’s humble beginnings in Boston in 1960 to their first years in Foxboro. We will also do a deep dive into the timeline between 1969 – 1972 to relive some of the most shocking and bizarre events to ever impact a professional sports franchise. The Patriots: From Boston to Foxboro.HOST - JOE SANTOS:Joe Santos grew up in Massachusetts and is an avid football fan, with a special fondness for the NFL in the early 70s. This Week in Pro Football and NFL Game of the Week were must-see TV back in the day. And living in Massachusetts meant you saw all of the NY Giants games on tv, both home and away, as they were the de facto home team for the NFC. Due to the blackout rules at the time, only the Patriots away games were shown. Being a huge sports history fan, Joe will continue to tell the unusual stories from an era that's considered to be the golden age of pro football.
