About this listen

 Each week on “Hello, Old Sports” Andrew and Dan Neumann examine a different sports history topic—baseball, basketball, football, hockey, boxing, and anything else that comes to mind. We’ll travel back to 1920 to relive the founding of the Negro Leagues and Babe Ruth’s first season with the New York Yankees. Or to 1967 to relive the closing drive of the “Ice Bowl” between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe even all the way back to 1884 and the first “World Series” between the Providence Grays of the National League and the New York Metropolitans of the American Association.Copyright 2021 All rights reserved.

    The 1932 NFL Title Game
    Aug 11 2025

    In 1932, the Chicago Bears and Portsmouth Spartans took part in the first postseason NFL Title Game in league history. Technically a regular season game, and played indoors at Chicago Stadium, this type of game had never been seen before. And in many ways it would never be seen again.
