    The Pioneers Who Changed Football and History
    Mar 11 2025

    In 1950, Willie Thrower made history as the first Black quarterback to start a game for the Chicago Bears. Nearly two decades later, Marlin Briscoe took the field as the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos, leading the team for an entire season.Over time, players like Warren Moon and Michael Vick became the faces of major NFL franchises, proving that Black quarterbacks could lead and excel at the highest levels.

    Their success on the field helped break barriers beyond sports, paving the way for future generations—including Barack Obama, who would go on to make history as the first Black President of the United States.The impact of these trailblazers extends far beyond football. Their resilience and achievements challenged outdated norms, opening doors for change in sports, politics, and society as a whole.

    Honoring Gene Hackman - A Legendary Hollywood Legacy
    Mar 4 2025


    In today's episode of *Lest We Forget Historical,* host Lillian Cauldwell explores the speculation surrounding the president's potential move to privatize the US Post Office due to its revenue losses and inefficiencies in mail delivery compared to competitors like Amazon, UPS, and FedEx. The current president has suggested that placing the US Post Office under the Commerce Department's management would enhance its operations. However, several civil rights groups question the sincerity of this claim, fearing that the post office could be used as a surveillance tool by the administration to monitor critics and dissenters, effectively controlling the masses through the mail system.

    Is it time to end the NBA All-Star Games
    Feb 4 2025

    With Caitlin Clark turning down the chance to appear during the NBA’s all-star weekend, and the league to get rid of the game for good. There are no stakes, so why would players risk blowing out a knee playing in it? It ruins the NBA’s product to keep it, getting rid of the all-star game is in the best interest of the NBA.

    Why did the Lions Miss Super Sunday Game
    Jan 28 2025


    The Lions won't be playing on Super Sunday, and it's clear why: a lack of roster depth held them back this season. Building a stronger bench is crucial to avoiding similar letdowns next year. Without it, the Dan Campbell era risks being remembered solely as a major disappointment.

    New Procedure Has Vital Support for Student-Athletes
    Jan 14 2025


    Universities adopted amateur standards nearly 200 years ago to appeal to the wealthy parents of affluent students. Today, many 'student-athletes' come from families with modest or middle-class means. This shift makes NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals a much-needed and welcome development in college football and basketball.

  • Gumbel’s sad passing reminds me of Summerall, Madden

    Gumbel’s sad passing reminds me of Summerall, Madden
    Jan 7 2025

    The tragic passing of Greg Gumbel reminded me how much we take announcers for granted. Case in point: John Madden and Pat Summerall.Dan remembers hearing Gumbel calling Super Bowl 35, and Summerall and Madden on Sundays. Madden was the comic relief, Summerall the straight man.
    Dan will never forget these three men as the “soundtracks “ of fall Sundays. I’ll treasure hearing them for the rest of my life.
