EPISODE SUMMARY

Hello, sports fans, and welcome once again to Yesterday's Sports on the Sports History Network. Today's article will be a bit different. I will be joined by my friend and fellow 1970s Dallas Cowboys fan, Dave Depaola. Since we’re in the middle of an intense heat wave here in the northeast, we thought we’d try to briefly cool things off and talk about the 1975 NFC Divisional Playoff game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys.....

YESTERDAY'S SPORTS BACKGROUND

Host Mark Morthier grew up in New Jersey just across the river from New York City during the 1970s, a great time for sports in the area.

In this episode, host Mark Mortier welcomes a special guest, Dr. Conor Heffernan, lecturer in the Sociology of Sport at Ulster University in Northern Ireland. Dr. Heffernan has written extensively on weightlifting, bodybuilding, powerlifting, and strongman competitions. He contributes to Barbend.com and runs the website physicalculturestudy.com.

The duo delves into the lives and careers of four legendary weightlifters: Paul Anderson, Tommy Kono, Ken Patera, and Naim Süleymanoğlu.

Starting with Anderson, known as the "Superman from the South," they explore his achievements, including his gold medals at the 1955 World Championships and the 1956 Olympics, his brief stint in pro wrestling, and his dedication to the Paul Anderson Youth Home.

Next, they discuss Tommy Kono, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and a seven-time World Weightlifting Champion. Kono's incredible career, including his internment during World War II and his transition between bodybuilding and weightlifting, is highlighted. His mental strength and Buddhist faith played a crucial role in his success.

Thanksgiving Day, 1924. The recently-established tradition of the University of Pittsburgh Panthers football team hosting the Pennsylvania State Nittany Lions on the afternoon of the national autumnal holiday continues.

Orville Mulligan: Sports Writer is sent to cover the Pitt-Penn State “Keystone Classic” of 1924; in so doing, he discovers a throughline of the football-on-Thanksgiving tradition going back to 1621 (okay, actually, that’s going back to 1869) and reminds us that high-level football games on Thanksgiving are nearly as old as the official Thanksgiving holiday itself.
