55 Yard War- The Grey Cup Semi Finals
Gridiron America is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear (https://sportshistorynetwork.com/).
EPISODE SUMMARY
After taking a week off we are back to talk about all that has happened in the CFL since last we were on air. Specifically, we talk about the divisional round games from last weekend and the upcoming semi finals games.
GRIDIRON AMERICA BACKGROUND
Gridiron America (formerly, the From the 55 Yardline podcast), is anchored by former sports executive David Cieslinski, former international professional football player Mike Tackett, and 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 SportsMaster Simulation Games www.SportsMaster-Simulation.games (https://www.SportsMasterSimulation.games). In addition to the gridiron game, the team will on occasion look at other sports through the same eyes of that of grown men who still remember their childhood and the thrill of rolling the dice or picking up a joystick.
The show was previously co-hosted by retired sports journalist Scott Adamson, whose sports writing can be found at www.Adamsonmedia.com (http://www.adamsonmedia.com/).
David, Mike and Greg, can be contacted directly via the podcast’s website at www.GridironAmerica.net (https://www.gridironamerica.net), as well as:
