Episode 59 - The Neighborhood Hall of Fame
The Neighborhood Sports Hall of Fame
Every neighborhood had its own sports legends—and most of them never made it beyond the vacant lot, driveway, or neighborhood playground.
In this episode of Old Guy Sports, the Old Guy creates the imaginary Neighborhood Sports Hall of Fame and remembers the unforgettable characters who made growing up so much fun: the kid with the cannon for an arm, the basketball star who somehow couldn’t make the school team, the kid who owned all the equipment, the unfortunate soul who was always picked last, and the older teenager everyone was just a little afraid of.
We’ll also honor the kid with the best basketball hoop, the guy who claimed he almost turned pro, the neighborhood’s greatest sports dad, the mother who somehow knew everything, and plenty of other characters every generation will recognize.
Because the greatest sports memories aren’t always about championships or professional athletes. Sometimes they’re about a bunch of kids, a ball, a driveway, a vacant lot—and a story that somehow stayed with you for the rest of your life.

Episode 58 - Men in Stripes - A look at NFL Officiating...
Men in Stripes: The History and Art of NFL Officiating
Love ’em or hate ’em, NFL officials are an essential part of the game. In this episode of Old Guy Sports, the Old Guy and Miss Amy take a look at the men and women in stripes—from the early days of football, when only a few officials worked a game, to today’s seven-person crews supported by instant replay, technology, and the NFL’s replay operation in New York.
The Old Guy breaks down each officiating position and explains what those officials are actually watching during a game. We also look at some of the major rule changes that have shaped modern football—and the players and plays that helped bring those changes about.
So grab your favorite game-day chair, get comfortable, and try not to yell at the referee. After all, there’s more to officiating than just throwing a flag!
