Show Notes

In 1953, a Bobby Layne to Jimmy Doran pass and catch with under 2 minutes to play won the Championship for the Detroit Lions over Cleveland.

In 1998, Emmit Smith ran for two touchdowns to pass Marcus Allen to become the all-time leader in rushing touchdowns.

In 1974, Ohio State's Archie Griffin won the first of his two Heisman trophies. Did he deserve the second one?

In 1991, Tim Hardaway Sr. set an NBA record for futility when he took 17 shots and missed every one of them which is an unfortunate record for misses without a make.
