Episode 51 - Sports Writers - The Men, The Myth, The Notebook !!

In this episode of Old Guy Sports, the Old Guy and Miss Amy take a nostalgic trip through the golden age of sportswriting — back when writers traveled by train, filed stories over the wire, and turned games into literature. From the poetic brilliance of Grantland Rice and Red Smith to the sharp wit of Jim Murray and Dan Jenkins, this episode explores the storytellers who helped generations of fans understand not just what happened in sports, but why it mattered. The conversation dives into legendary newspaper eras, smoky press boxes, deadline pressure, clubhouse access, and the writers who stirred controversy while chasing the truth. Along the way, Miss Amy keeps the Old Guy grounded with plenty of playful banter about typewriters, research obsessions, and his endless stack of sports books.

Episode 50 - Memories of Dirt Track Racing !!!

In this episode of Old Guy Sports, we take a ride back to the days when racing was raw, loud, and deeply personal. Before the bright lights of modern motorsports, there were the dirt tracks—where engines roared, dust filled the air, and families gathered for unforgettable nights. The Old Guy shares heartfelt memories of attending races with his dad at Heidelberg Raceway, including the wild and unforgettable figure 8 racing that kept fans on the edge of their seats. We also visit Lernerville Speedway, a western Pennsylvania staple that became a weekly tradition for so many racing fans. Along the way, we explore: * The role of dirt tracks in the history of American racing * How grassroots racing inspired generations of young drivers and fans * Legendary drivers who got their start on dirt * The sense of community that made these tracks so special Miss Amy brings her signature humor and curiosity—especially after seeing figure 8 racing for the very first time! This episode is about more than racing. It’s about memories, family, and the simple joy of being there. As Promised, This episode is brought to you in partnership with Cozy Earth.

Episode 49 - Let's Go to the NFL Draft !!!

In this episode of Old Guy Sports, we take a fun and nostalgic journey through the complete history of the NFL Draft, from its humble beginnings in a smoky Philadelphia hotel room in 1936 to the massive prime-time spectacle it has become today. We begin with the very first draft on February 8, 1936, featuring just 9 teams, 9 rounds, and 81 total selections, and explore the fascinating story of Jay Berwanger, the first-ever No. 1 pick who never played a single NFL snap. We also look at how only 24 of the 81 drafted players actually made it to the league, while still producing four Hall of Famers. From there, we trace how the draft evolved through the decades, focusing on the rise of true scouting departments, the brilliance of Steelers super scout Bill Nunn, and the legendary 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers draft class, widely considered one of the greatest of all time. We also spotlight 1983, the “Year of the Quarterback,” featuring John Elway, Jim Kelly, and Dan Marino. The evolution of Mr. Irrelevant, from the very last pick in 1936 to modern success stories Plenty of fun banter with Miss Amy, including her mission to convince the Old Guy to head to Pittsburgh for this year’s NFL Draft A great mix of football history, storytelling, nostalgia, and laughs.

Episode 48 - Auto Racing -- From Dust to Downforce...

In this episode, the first in a series on auto racing, the Old Guy and Miss Amy take a ride through the history of auto racing—from the dusty back roads of the early days to the high-tech world of modern motorsports. Miss Amy shares her love for racing (especially NASCAR and Darlington’s “Lady in Black”), while also giving the Old Guy a hard time about his current driving skills versus his “glory days” behind the wheel. The Old Guy then takes over for a deep dive into: * The first automobile races and the wild early days of racing * How racing evolved into different formats, including NASCAR, IndyCar, Formula One, sports cars, and drag racing * The golden eras of each style and the legendary drivers who defined them * A look at the true “Kings of Racing” across multiple disciplines * How modern racing has changed—technology, commercialization, and rules * An honest reflection on why today’s racing feels different * What the future of auto racing might look like in an electric, data-driven world The episode closes with Miss Amy recapping the journey, praising the Old Guy’s storytelling, and asking the most important question of all… “Can we go to a race sometime?” As Promised, This episode is brought to you in partnership with Cozy Earth.
