Gridiron America Radio (formerly, the From the 55 Yardline podcast), is anchored by former sports executive David Cieslinski, former international professional football player Mike Tackett and, broadcasting it all from his studio in Japan, is fellow football nerd Greg St. James. All three are avid armchair sports historians and sports simulation enthusiasts, who, despite the vastness of geography, have found a way to leverage technology to help keep the games they love truly alive, both on the screen or tabletop.
Gridiron America Radio is dedicated to both current and historical American football talk, including the "what if" questions that all sports fans ask and try to answer with the help of statistics, math and computer modeling provided by J. Henry Waugh's Sportsmaster Simulation Games (https://sportsmaster-simulation.games). In addition to the gridiron game, the team will also make time look at other sports via computer simulation, and always through the eyes of grown nut forever young at heart men who still remember their childhood and the thrill of rolling the dice on the table top, picking up a joystick, or pressing the buttons on a gamepad.
The show was previously co-hosted by retired sports journalist Scott Adamson, whose continued writings. sports coverage and articles can be found at https://adamsonmedia.com.
