Imagine attending a championship football game, finding your seat, and settling in to watch two of the best teams in professional football battle for a championship. There's just one problem. You can't see a thing.

Now imagine watching another championship game 15 years later on a field so frozen that it resembles an ice hockey rink. Players are slipping, footing is nearly impossible, and simply trying to make a routine tackle becomes an adventure.

Welcome to the world of Canadian football, where Mother Nature has occasionally had just as much influence on the outcome as the players themselves!

In this edition of the podcast Hosts Dana Auguster and Charles Combs welcomes the guys from the Gridiron America Radio Podcast Greg St. James, David Cieslinski, and Mike Tackett. They will travel north of the border to revisit the 1962 Grey Cup game featuring the Winnipeg Blue Bombers facing the Hamilton Tiger Cats in a game forever remembered as the Fog Bowl.

Later in the episode we will also revisit the 1977 Grey Cup game known as the Ice Bowl between the Montreal Alouettes and the then Edmonton Eskimos at brand new Montreal Olympic Stadium with a glazed over turf field that resembled an hockey rink.

If you were a New York sports fan on the night of Monday, October 27, 1986, you had plenty of reasons to celebrate!

At Shea Stadium in Queens, the New York Mets were facing the Boston Red Sox in Game 7 of the World Series. After a dramatic postseason run and an unforgettable comeback in Game 6, the Mets had one final obstacle standing between them and a championship.

Meanwhile, across the Hudson River at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the New York Giants were battling their NFC East rivals, the Washington Redskins, on Monday Night Football.

Two stadiums. Two major sporting events. And one remarkable night when New York was the center of the sports world!

In this episode of Historically Speaking Sports, hosts Dana Auguster and Charles Combs talk about that night and what made this night so special in the annals of sports history.

Later in the show, Charles and Dana talk about another great sports day in the history of New York City in the mid 1990s. However in this case, it was overshadowed by events taking place 3000 miles away on a freeway in Los Angeles.
