Show Notes
In 2003, the San Francisco 49ers came from 24 points down to beat the New York Giants in Wildcard Playoff game. There was a controversial end that led NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue to say it was the worst reffing blunder in his 13 year career.
In 1971, boxer Sonny Liston was found dead in his Las Vegas home. Was he murdered for not taking a dive?
In 1988, Pete Maravich died playing a pickup game in Pasadena, Calif. He was 40.
And in 1991, US International’s Kevin Bradshaw bested Maravich's single-game scoring record when he scored 72 points in a loss against Loyola Marymount.
